japan and the Sky

Within recent days there have
been three American news items of
particular interest to the war lords
of Tokyo. The first of these revealed
that the B-32 had gone into produc-
tlon to become the stablemate of the
B-29 Super Fortress. The second
announced that the output of GER
tain other planes would be reduced
IN order to permit marked increase
in the output of these two titans of
the sky. And the third reported that
the oil industry of the United States
was ready to turn out in mass guam
tlty a new superfuel notably improv-
ing the speed, range and load-carry-
ing capacity of our military aviation.
All three of these items were pub
lished indepently of each other, but
it must be as clear to Tokyo as it is
to us that they are of a single piece
with single meaning-namely, that
American air power is rapidly pre-
pairing to give its main attention to
the Far Pacific and to begin hitting
there with the bulk of it's strength.
perhaps even before Hitler is de-
feated in Europe. In many ways, the
problem of bombing the home is
lands of Hirohito's empire-bombing
them heavily and frequently-prom-
ises to be much more difficult than
bombing Germany. But the Japa-
nese will probably find small comfort
in that. What has happened in
Burma, in the Solomons-N New Guinea
area, in the Marshalls and in the
MarianaS has made them only too
well aware of the ability of our
forces to triumph over distances and
other geographical obstacles of the
most formidable kind. Realizing
that the remoteness of their home
land offers them scant security, and
having had few Introductory visits
from the BIOS, they cannot be
blamed now if they seem a bit jittery
when they lecture each other about
the danger lurking in the sky.

Deserved Reuppointment

The caliber of his work for the
District during his first term left
little doubt that Commissioner
Mason would be renominated for
second. The only doubts were raised
by his recent illness, from which he
is happily recovered, and the very
unfair criticism and recommended
ton for his removal contained in
the report of the inept and mis-
directed investigation Of Gallinger
Hospital by a Senate subcommittee.
That criticism was more than offset
by the fine tribute subsequently
paid the Commissioners by the
House Appropriations Committee.
Mr.. Mason has shown himself to
be a good Commissioner. He has
worked hard, and with encouraging
results, for the improvement of the
municipal services within his juris-
diction and he has shown himself to
be responsive to local sentiment. II
he has shown disposition to get
himself into hot water by his forth
right expressions, his honesty of
purpose and the sincerity of his
convictions have never been ques-
toned. 1t is gratifying that the
President has renominated him and
it is to be hoped that Senate rati-
f1cation will follow promptly.

hard luck-unless the voters resent this
one-sided campaigning
~ **
Millions Of people listened to Presi-
dent Roosevelts radio address from
Bremerton. Much of his address might
have been labeled My Day." with
apologies to Mrs. Roosevelt. It was not
interesting. 1t sounded like a rehash of
what thousands of others in and out of
the armed forces have seen and written.
The President could not discuss mill
tary matters or the progress of the war
or future Army and Navy movements.
Those are the features of the news in
Which the people are vitality interested.
He might have described past heroic
action of the Army and Navy and Air
Corps, but he did not. He did refer to
the future of the Pacific, both politically
and economically. Even in this discus
sion there was nothing really new and
certainly nothing the President could
not have written as well in Washington
as in Pearl Harbor. The fact that Japan
is not to be allowed ever again to domi-
nate any part of the Pacific Ocean has
been shouted from the house tops, as
we'll as the fact that Japan cannot be
trusted.
There was no news in his statements
that the great Pacific area lies open for
vast international commerce in the
future. Vice President Wallace, after
his recent visit to China, delivered a
radio address, also from the West, which
was far more enlightening on the eco
nomic future of our own West Coast and
the other countries that border the
Pacific Ocean.

however uninteresting his report, was
intended to keep before the people the
TACT that he is the Commander in
Chief to emphasize that he is on the
war job. 1t was intended to impress the
men in the forces who will vote next
November, And it was intended to gain
for the President a certain amount of
first-hand information Pearl Harbor,
however, is long way from present
hostilities in the Pacific. The informa-
ton he gained was contained in reports
from other men, the men who are
actually conducting the war against
Japan.

Bipartisan Planning

The meetings between secretary OF
State Hull and John Foster Dulles,
representing Governor Dewey, may
be expected to remove the question
of this countrys postwar security
policies from the field of partisan
political debate during the presi-
Dental campaign That is the
minimum objective that should be
attained.
1t is quite possible, however, that
the final results may be of much
greater Importance. Presumably
Mr.. Hull will not be content merely
to let Mr.. Dulles have lock at the
administrations program and report
back to Governor Dewey. If these
conferences are to be more than a
gesture, they should be pointed to-
ward the goal of achieving substan-
tial agreement between Mr.. Hull and
the Republican presidential candi-
date as to this Nations security
objectives and the means of attain
ing them. Nor does there seem to
be any inSurmountable obstacle in
the way of such an agreement.
Although Mr.. Dewey has not yet
undertaken full-dress presentation
of his own views on the question of
international security, he has said
enough to make it evident that there
is not a great deal of difference
between his position and that of
Mr.. Hull. Both are working toward
substantially the same ends, and if
there is any great disparity in their
respective approaches, it has not yet
been brought to light.
In these circumstances it should
be possible to do more than keep our
postwar policies from becoming a
subject of partisan debate. That is
desirable of itself, but If we can
progress from there to the point
where the official American position
will have the united support of all
OF the people, Democrats and Re-
publicans alike, this country will
have greater influence in the peace
discussions and the prospects of
obtaining some real assurance of
security will have been greatly en-
HANGED. 1t is heartening, in the
midst of a national political cam
paign, to see Republican presiden-
tial candidate and a Democratic
Secretary of State working toward
this objective.
