Job for General Ike

The cheers that greeted General Eisen- hower's homecoming had scarcely died down when somebody proposed that the general be made Secretary of State. That's a typical reaction, of course. A peoples admiration for the triumphant but weary hero often manifests itself in a desire to honor him by saddling him with more work.
 General Eisenhower has accomplished what is perhaps the most tremendous job of it's kind that any man ever tackled, and has engineered one of the worlds greatest victories Perhaps the kindest thing his countrymen could do for him after that would be to let him sit down and catch his breath. And yet it's easy to see the sense as we'll as the adulation in proposing the general for an import ant government position of some sort.
 Any man who can do the military job that he did, take commands as well as give them, maintain peace and harmony in staff of contrasting, temperamental, international generals, talk the eloquent and determined Winston Churchill out of some of his most cherished plans, make some of history's most fateful decisions and still keep grinning, receive four na- tions' top honors and still keep his mod esty, make speech that Londoners com pared with Lincoln's Gettysburg Address any man who can do all those things is just inviting more work for country which not only honors him but needs him.

Russians would seem to have begun al- ready campaign to present commun- ism in the best possible light.
 Thus far they seem to be succeeding. After Dr. Goebbels' tale, of Russian ter TOT and vengeance, any gentleness must have been an agreeable surprise to the Germans. And if any of the numerous Communist Party C pre-Hitler Germany survive, they will undoubtedly try to help in making this first impression lasting one. The prospect of Russian dominat- ed Europe sets many Anglo American minds reeling. But the prospect is not foregone conclusion. The Americans and British in Germany also have an oppor- tunity to sell their way of life to the Ger mans through propaganda, education and general behavior. There is no reason why communism, republican democracy and constitutional monarchy should not compete on their merits for German ac- ceptance. But it is imperative that the occupying governments abide by the eventual German decision. The only al- formative would be tc let defeated Ger many again endanger the peace of the world.

Cermany's Future Government

Curt Riess, writing from Germany, re- ports that most Germans regard the Rus sian occupation as more lenient than that of the Americans or the British He baS- es this statement on his observation Of the American occupation program and on talks with people who have lived in the Russian-occupied zone. The NEA Service correspondent writes that the Russians are giving their German charges more food than they received in the last months under Hitler; that plays, movies and concerts have been resumed; that ra- dio broadcasts stress present cooperation and future hope while ours are more ir- clined to emphasize past misdeeds.
 Most of this MT. Riess says he believes. And even at this distance there would seem to be logical reasons why he should.
 The Russians naturally hate the Ger mans who overran their land, laid waste their cities, and inflicted barbarous cruel {Ies on their countrymen. They have greater reason even than the French and British, and infinitely greater reason than the Americans, for loathing the whole German race.
 Yet the Russian government realizes, @s do other governments, that Germany must exist and be lived with in the fu- *llre. Moscow Is pledged to concerted ac- Son with London and Washington in rul- Ine Germany until such time as the Ger xaSns are thought it for self-government. *shen the time comes Germany will prob zhly be permitted to choose an accept aNle form of government in free cleo SIen.

MISS PERKINS RETIREs

Americas first woman Cabinet member has been saying good-by to official lifeathis week after twelve years as head of the Department of Labor. The tributes paid her at . department reception on Tues day and at a dinner last night showed that Frances Perkins had won the affection of those who knew her best. Depression and war laid burdens on her which a few years ago no one would have thought woman coudl bear. She had to put up with ridicule and with the resentment of males who still don't believe a woman belongs in a high executive post. She was not, in fact, the most successful ex- ecutiye in Cabinet history. What she did possess was intelligent and pro- foundly sympathetic acquaintance with the human problems of indus try. Her Washington career shoudl not be allowed to oyershadow the pioneer work she did in this State for better factory inspection, and especially for the protection of workers against the hazard of fire. She has represented American woni- en in an admirably womanly way.

At first the Big Powers flatly opposed such discussion.
 Had they won their point, many delegates doubt whether the United Nations Charter would have bene worth much more than the paper it was written on.
 Long years of watching Ameri- can diplomacy close up also has convinced this observer that the power of public opinion through public discussion is one of the greatest of all deterrents against war. T
 This columnist recalls how Henry L. Stimson, then Secre- retary of State, staved off war between Russia and China dur ing the 1929 dispute over the Chinese Eastern 7sailroad chief 'ly through focusing public discussion on that dispute.
 AGAIN it was the powerful pleas of Charles Evans Hughes and Frank B. Kellogg plus other pan-American leaders which stayed off war between Bolivia and Par aguay for at least two years. Wars between Peru and Chile, between Peru and Ecuador, between Haiti and the Dominican Republic also were prevented by diplomatic pres sure, by public discussion, and the press all working together.
 At San Francisco, however, it was first proposed that unlimited discussion by the United Nations Assembly could be vetoed by one of the Big Five. Tn other words, whenever debate got too critical for one of the Big Five, they could step in and stop it.
 HOTTEST OF ALL DEBATES
 Australia's fiery Foreign Min ister Evatt brought the whole question to a head by proposing an amendment permitting unlim- tied debate in the Assembly-re- gardleSs of veto. This touched off a closed door debate as hot as anything San Francisco ever wit messed.
 One by one, State Department officials began pouring the heat on Evatt, demanding that he withdraw his amendment. Nelson Rockefeller even called up several Latin Americans, gave them the impression Evatt was abandon ing his fight, in order to get them off the trail. However, Evatt stuck to his guns.
 Just before the climatic closed- door meeting of the Conference Executive Committee on this qustion Stettinius summoned the Australian to his ornate Fair mount Hotel penthouse and begged him to withdraw his amendment.
 You've gone as far as you can go," Stettinius said. "If you push 1t any further, the bigger nations may be forced to with draw from the United Nations entirely.
 'T'll take my chances on that" replied Evatt. He told Stettinius he would not yield an inch.
 Later that night, the executive committee concerned in Room 233 of the Veterans building which usually held about 100 delegates. But by the time able Greek Foreign Minister John Sofiano- poulos called the meeting to or- der, 300 were jammed in. Win dows had been closed to keep out the noise of passing street cars.

On to Japan

A briefing of the Japanese war at this time-particularly from an editors armchair view in Waterbury ates the many probables of the affair which balance against each other and tend to draw the conclusion that the only answer is military might on tne part of the Allies.
 On the favorable side of the ledger for the Japs is the fact we have yet to encounter her main army despite the severe set-backs suffered by her island troops The main islands of her home have not yet been invaded and of course her armies also control the most ln1- portant portions of China.
 The Japs have created considerable strength on the Asia mainland and still have complete control of Korea and large portions of China The Manchoukuo territory which she has controlled since 1881 is separate entity, rich in natural resources, iron ore, coal de- posits, fertile soil and tremendous population Industrialization has been perfected there.
 Therefore it must be remembered that even though we beat the Japs on her home island (Japan proper) there stlll remains the task of licking her troops on the China mainland, particularly in Manchoukuo. Since China's armies are poorly equipped, hungry and terribly war weary it stands to reason we must take into consideration the time ele- ment necessary to supply these troops both with materials and troop support. Transportation over such a distance IS an obstacle.
 On the other hand we must bear Tn mind that Japan is an economically poor country. Since the heavy defeats of her Navy itsis likely that she now must rely upon the resources of Japan proper instead of the islands and territory she captured.
 No longer does she control Korea and She Federated States of Malaga to the extent she can call upon the resources there, and since those of her homeland are deficient she is greatly handicapped.
 A tight blockade az ainst them, as urged by many of our admirals and chief strategists, would greatly reduce her po- tentiality. Add to this her vulnerabll- ity to air attack and it spells trouble and likely defeat for the little yellow men.
 As is known her industrial areas are concentrated, in Japan, in confined region and this coupled with the jn- f1ammability of the majority of the peo- ples homes counts greatly for the AL lies.
 So much has been said, pro and con, as to Russia's attack on Japan particu- larly through the northern region Of Manchuokuo as we were to advance through south China and Burma that there is nothing we can add here. There is no question but what such move would spell defeat for the Japs - As stated there are all probables, or near -probableS, and the final answer is going to be determined by military might supported by such factors as mentioned here.
