The Tokyo Bombing Raids

they would not resist aggression and
so soft that they could not resist an
aggressor even if they so desired, the
Japanese fixed the pattern for their
own doom.
What fools the japanese were to
rouse the mighty wrath of America
nobody knows better than the Japa-
nese themselves.
Their stolen empire is now all but
fallen apart.
Their once Wanted navy has been
made impotent.
Their supposedly invincible air
force is rapidly being shot out of the
Pacific skies.
NOV the destruction of their great
~ cities has begun, and their AFRO
giant and ruthless dream of empire is
shattered.
That is what the cascading bombs
from our roaring aerial armada
meant to the people and government
of Japan.
True, we must pay dearly for the
victory our American boys are buy
ing in the Pacific, and for the ulti-
mate peace they are making possible.
The great planes we are sending
over Japan are not all coming back.
The vital air bases from which
these planes are able to reach Japan
were bought with the blood and lives
of orleans who stormed the
beaches of Saipan and Guam.
But this is what Japan in her
folly forced upon us.
This is what the arrogant and
ambitious and ruthless japanese mis-
takenly thought we could not do.
Not only American bombs, but
righteous American wrath and an in
domitable sense of American justice
and retribution, are now falling upon
Japan and will continue to fall until
her crimes are expiated and even her
folly is exercised.
It was Japan's own choice to
attempt to live and profit by fire and
terror.
Now that the holocaust she Gre
ated is turned upon her, it is by her
own choice that she must know it's
full horror.

The Big Meeting
BY BENJAMIN DECASSERES

THE coming meeting of President
i Roosevelt, Prime Minister
Churchill and Marshal Stain, pre-
sumably in Paris, ought to prove to
be the most momentous conference
of the war.
We hope that the tremendous re-
ception that will be accorded the
three Allied leaders by the volatile
French, if this meeting is held in
Paris, will not overshadow what
ought to be the main reason for
this meeting-that is, a thorough
understanding of Russias present
and postwar policies.
TT is high time that President
l. Roosevelt and Prime Minister
Churchill got some definite state
ments and guarantees from Marshal
Stain on these questions:
THE ultimate fate of Poland.
the Baltic states, the Balkans and
CzechO-SlOvakia.
IF Stain attacks Japan will he
demand as payment the control of
China and its communication?
3-What is Stains attitude to-
ward our ally, Generalissimo Chang
Kai-shek?
4-Why did Stains own personal
organ, Izvestia, demand that Ameri-
can troops be taken out of Iran when
those troops are there for the spe-
cific purpose of not only guarding
American property but of aiding
Russia in expediting material
through what has been called rus
sia's Burma Road?
5-Why did the Kremlin force on
ROmania Communist cabinet?
6-What are Stains plans about
the future of Finland?
why did Russia refuse to re-
new diplomatic relations with Swift
zerIand on the absurd plea that
Switzerland has Fascist sympathies
when there is no more thoroughly
and honestly neutral nation in the
world than that ancient little repub-
lie?

welcomed by the offending licensees
because suspension for a week en-.
ables them to replenish their short
stocks.
Selling to minors is a grave viola.
ton of our liquor control statute. SO
is permitting indecent entertainment
in saloons. Willful violators should
have their liquor licenses revoked
permanently.
AS long as they are allowed to
stay in business they will automati-
cally contribute to the growing senti.
ment for a return to prohibition.
THIS newspaper Sunday printed a
statement by Federal Judge
Frank A. Picard. It was in reply to
request for his opinion on the ques.
ton of permitting unescorted women
to enter bars where men drink.
Judge Picard agrees with us that
women should be denied such per.
mission.
He suggested, furthermore, that
to eliminate the present alleged lax
ity and confusion in the liquor COM
mission, the governor had best fire
either the liquor commissioners or
General Manager Kunzig.
This suggestion cannot lightly be
brushed off, because Judge Picard is
the author of the Michigan Liquor
Control Act and was chairman of the
states first liquor control commits
sion.
Like all sensible persons he is
anxious about the future here of the
liquor business. he realizes that pro-
hibition is bad and unavoidable
thing.
But he knows, as all thinking
residents of Michigan must know,
that unless the liquor traffic is prop
erly regulated we are in real danger
of return to state prohibition.
Gov. Kelly should bear that SIMS
ter fact in mind.

THE great bombing raid on Tokyo
l. by giant American Superior
tresses was not just shadow of
events to come, as so many of our
. earlier sorties against the japanese
homeland have necessarily been, but
most important and decisive event
in itself.
The material destruction in vital
japanese war centers has unques-
tionably been substantial.
The consequent reduction of
Japanese capacity for war produc-
tion and ability to conduct successful
war is beyond dispute.
Of course we have not won the
war over Japan with this one assault,
and it would serve no purpose to
over-appraise its effect.
In point of fact, it is only the be-
ginning of long series of assaults
that will be required to st eadily
reduce and destroy the japanese war
machine.
But it is in the thrilling proof this
tremendous air strike against the
heart of Japan affords that we
HAVE made beginning that the
American people find their present
satisfaction.
THAT it will take long time to do

That it will be a dangerous and
costly job we also know.
But that it WILL BE DONE
thoroughly and inexorably we now
know with entire certainty-and it is
gratifying that the japanese govern
ment and people know this too.
If ever there was segment of the
human race that ESSED
WRONG about the character and re-
sources and spirit of another seq
ment, it was the Japanese.
They thought we were peaceful
people, and they were quite right
about that.
They thought we were a soft
people, made so by living standards
higher than those prevailing else
where in the world, and they were
even partly right about that.
But when they thought the Amer
lean people were so peaceful that

THE most important and immedi-
L ate task confronting Gov. Kelly is
how to improve regulation Of the
liquor business in Michigan.
The governors present liquor
control commission certainly is not
functioning to the satisfaction of the
public.
It is said to be affected by inter
nal dissension and bitter conflict for
authority.
Apparently there is no clear dis
tinction as to the powers of the COM
missioners and the powers of Gov.
Kelly's personally appointed general
manager, Gen. Louis A. Kunzig.
The result is inefficient control
and incompetent administration of
the liquor traffic throughout the
state.
Retail purchasers are smarting
under the present ration system
which they believe has been handled
in a bungling manner and to their
detriment. They want to know why it
is more difficult to buy good liquor
here than in such neighboring mo-
nopoly states as Ohio and Pennsyl.
vania.
THEY can't understand why they
L are being so drastically rationed
while, at the same time, the ODT
places an embargo on further liquor
coming into Michigan because, it is
charged, state warehouses are bulg-
ing with stored liquor.
The public, moreover (that is, the
vast majority of decent citizens), is
becoming more and more disguised
with the casual enforcement of regu-
lations pertaining to saloons and
night clubs.
The public is tired of rea ding
about five-day or six day or seven
day suspensions imposed upon saloon
keepers found guilty of selling to
minors. Such penalties mean nothing
and, as matter of fact, are almost
