Tell Them

From the London Sunday Chronicle
Let the Germans who drag the rem
nants of their homes along shattered
roads remember the bombs that de-
stoyed the homes of Rotterdam and
the shells that tore through the roofs
Of Leningrad. Let them hear again
those gloating commentaries that filled
the air when the German radio told
of the horrors left in the wake of
Goering's Luftwaffe. They coined a
new word in those days Coventrate!
That word was born of the agony of
an English town, and they spoke it
easily. 1t became a German word
and 1t meant destruction. They must
be reminded of that, too. But most
of all they must remember the bombs
that began the war. The bombs that
fell on Warsaw. Germany began then
the long misery which now ends In her
own shattered cities. Now is the time
to tell them of these things. Every
hour let them hear that message: "You
asked for it. Now you are getting it."

nese rule. the Ryukyuans have not
been psychologically assimilated and
do not share the fanatical patriotism
of their supercilious kinsfolk. The
moral failure of Japan in the Ryu-
kyus is the most striking example of
an inepitude for empire" displayed
in all it's other conquests. Nowhere
have the Japanese been able to i'm
plant their peculiar culture and
civilization. Everywhere they remain
oppressively and repellently alien.
This should greatly facilitate the
liquidation of an empire based on
naked force, with no assimilative
potency.

Not Wholly Gone

1t is not so much because of his
greatness as President that the
Nation genuinely mourns today for
Franklin Roosevelt. 1t is not the
remembrance of that greatness that
fills millions of Americans with a
sense of personal loss. 1t is some
thing else. 1t is the remembrance
of his bright spirit, his gallant and
affirmative approach to life, his
smile, his voice, his pleasant and
handsome face. 1t is the remem-
brance of the warmth he irradlated,
the goodness of heart he so fire.
quently displayed and all the other
traits and mannerismS that made
his leadership so Splendidly human.
More than any other President,
with the possible exception of Abra-
ham Lincoln. Franklin Roosevelt
was endowed with personality that
could not be changed or made to
seem remote by the tremendous
preSsures and august power of his
Office. He liked the people, and by
and large he remained close to them
to the end. There was a quality in
him. spark, an intangible force not
readily Defined that called forth an
affectionate response from legions
of men and Women-young and old
alike-Who had never met or seen
him, y, tho foch L,,t WI,
less felt personally attached to him
as to tried and true friend.
1t is because they remember him
now in that light-aS friend who
inspired and encouraged them, as a
man whose greatness in Office never
detracted from his magnetism as a
human being - that multitudeS of
Americans feel individually bereaved
by President RooSevelt'S death. And
it is further measure of his unique
stature and personality that the
same feeling is widespread abroad
and that IN places as distant as Lon
don and Moscow obscure people
wept when they heard that he was
gone. Perhaps the soundest explana-
ton of all this is the simple one:
That he won so many hearts because
his own heart was so much and so
consistently for humanity.
Today Franklin Roosevelt is at the
White House for the last time, and
tomorrow the earth at HYDE Park
will take him to itself forever. But
death cannot triumph over spirit,
and his spirit, like that of his great
predecessors, will be part of this Ma
tion-and through this Nation part
of the world-for as long as our his
tory is written. In that sense, surely,
it may rightly be said on this day of
mourning that he is with us yet.

Where Change May Come

No aspect of the new situation pre-
cipitated by the sudden and untime-
ly death of President Roosevelt is of
more vital significance than that in
the field of foreign policy. The con-
stitutiondl powers vested in the
Chief Executive, especially in war
time, give the occupant of the White
House clear initiative in the con-
duct of our foreign relations. The
new President, Harry S. Truman,
thus becomes the vital factor in our
relations with the rest of the world
The question logically arises as to
what changes are to be expected in
the conduct of our foreign affairs.
Everything indicates that the new
President intends to follow closely
along the general lines of foreign
policy laid out by his predecessor.
At the very moment of his induction,
Mr.. Truman announced that the war
would be prosecuted to a decisive
conclusion and that the San Fran
cisco Conference would be held on
schedule. As Vice President, he has
publicly stated his complete SYM
pathy with and full adhesion to the
views and aims of the late President
regarding both the conclusion of the
war and postwar reconstruction.
Basically, therefore. the course of
our foreign policy should remain the
same.
However, this does not exclude the
likelihood of innovations in both ap-
plication and method. Several i'm
portant issues in world affairs have
not yet been decided, even in prin-
ciple. as between this country and it's
foreign partners, while the mere evo-
luton of events will compel specific
decisions for which the past will af-
ford no automatic regulator. Like
wise, changes in the personal coun-
sellors and executors of the new
Presidents policies will occur in
creasingly with the course of time.
The evolutionary process may be
gradual, but it is inevitable.
Perhaps the most unpredictable
alteration in the pattern of our for
eign relations will arise from the diff
ference in the individualities of the
two Presidents. In his handling of
foreign affairs, as in all other phases
of his administration, Franklin
Roosevelt was strongly personal"
1t is a current adage that he was
"his own Secretary of State" and
even more than President Wilson he
had his own emisSaries, responsible
to him alone. Mr. Roosevelt believed
sincerely in the efficacy of face-to-
face relations with his foreign COL

Our Armed Munpower

Although Germany is on its last
legs. Army and Navy manpower re-
quirements for the war against ia
pan are not likely to permit any
appreciable reduction in draft quotas
in the months Immediately ahead.
Selective service boards are still
calling up large numbers, including
men in the 30-to-33 age bracket,
and they probably will continue to
do so for some time. Meanwhile, as
Secretary StimSon has just revealed,
almost half of the 100000 soldiers
on duty in this country have been
earmarked for service overseas and
are being trained for it as fast as
possible, the great bulk of them
presumably being scheduled for COM
bat in the Pacific and Asia, though
some may be assigned to German
occupation. All this should help to re-
duce the number of American troops
who will have to be redeployed from
Europe to the Far East, but Of
ficialS have made clear that this re-
deployment will almost certainly be
on a large scale in any circum-
stances, irrespective of the size of
present inductions and the ship
ping out of men now in uniform on
this side of the water. Certain i'm
ponderableS-such as possible in
ternal upheaval among the Japa-
nese and the potentialities of Rus
sia's position-may drastically alter
the situation in the future, but at the
moment our military command
must make its plans on the Basis of
hard and immediate realities. the
most important of which is that at
least 80 per cent of Hirohito's land
strength remains intact, even though
his sea and air power have been ir-
reparably crippled. Accordingly. as
long as this strength has to be
smashed, the manpower demands of
our armed forces will continue high;
as of today. at any rate. nothing
would seem to Justify the expecta-
ton that a marked slackening off
may come soon.

The Presidents Advisers

AS Harry S. Truman assumes tne
tremendous burdens and the heavy
responsibilities of the presidency In
this solemn hour, it is inevitable
that ones thoughts should turn to
the men upon whom he will depend
for advice and assistance in the days
of trial which lie ahead.
Even in peacetime President OF
the United States needs the counsel
and the aid of other men. And at
a time when great war is reaching
its climax, and when the uncounted
problems of rehabilitation and peace
clamor for attention, any President
who attempted under our political
system to treat his office as a one
man job would be foredoomed to
ignominious and disastrous failure.
Because this is the case, it is reaS-
suring, though not surprising, that
one of the first moves of Mr.. Truman
as President has been to reinforce
his good relations with Congress and
set the stage for the recruiting of
aides in whom both he and the
country can have full confidence.
That is what any sensible man
would do in his situation, and Mr..
Truman is an eminently sensible
man.
The return to Washington OF
James F. Byrnes is especially graft
flying. He left the Capital a few
days ago for his home in South
Carolina, intending to rest a while
and then make his plans for the
future. Behind him lay creditable
and a distinguished career in public
life-an admirable record OF service
in Congress, on the Supreme Court
and in the executive branch as
Franklin Roosevelt's principal home
front lieutenant. Mr.. Byrnes did
not intend to return to the Gov
ernment. He felt, and justly so,
that, under the then prevailing
circumstances, he had done his full
duty to the country, and that, in
the national interest. the time had
come when others should take over.
But the unexpected death of Mr..
Roosevelt and the consequent eleva-
ton of Mr. Truman to the presi-
dency has changed all of that. The
new President, close personal
friend of Mr.. Byrnes, has called the
latter back into service, and Mr..
Byrnes has accepted the call. 1t is
good to know that his experience
and wise counsel will be available
to the new President.
In addition to looking to Mr.
Byrnes and congressional leaders
for aid, it is also to be supposed
that MIR. Truman may want to make
other changes in the staff which
served under Mr.. Roosevelt. The
nature of these shifts remains to be
disclosed, and it would be sheer
presumption for any one to attempt
to suggest them. 1t is enough to
know that President Truman is
fully aware of the Importance of
choosing the best men available and
that he does not propose to be
satisfied with less than the best.

The Political Mill
By Gould Lincoln

The world is to have an earful and
an eyeful of the San Francisco United
Nations Conference. The conference
will come nearer to Woodrow Wilson's
ideal of open covenants openly arrived
at than any other international gather
ing. of vast Importance to the world.
that has ever been held. First. there
will be the plenary sessions of the
conference itself which will be open.
at which all actions of the conference
will be accomplished. In all probability
there will be two or three such sessions
right at the start of the conference,
which opens April 25.
The next step will be appointment Of
four or five commissions" to deal with
specific subjects-such as the proposed
General Assembly, the Security Council,
the World Court the Social and Eco
nomic Commissions, the Secretariat-
all arms of the coming international
organization. These commissions will
meet in open session, for discussion OF
all points. They will, after discus
sion, hold private drafting sessions.
When each commission has its draft
ready, it will make its report IN open
session to the commission. And finally,
session to the full conference.
How long the conference will remain
in session is anybody's guess. In official
circles here the hope is expressed that
it will be possible to complete the draft
of a treaty to be submitted to the
nations for ratification within month.
1t may take six weeks The outside
limit is two months. Much will depend
on the rapidity with which the various
delegations will be able to communicate
with their home governments and re-
ceive instructions when knotty problems
arise. The list of nations participating
in the conference is long-46, including
Poland, which this Government still
hopes will be represented at the con-
ference. If Argentina, with which nor
NAL diplomatic relations have been re-
sumed by the American republics, is
also invited, the number will be At.
Fortunately for the speed of the con-
ference the spade work already has
been done. A remarkably complete
agenda will be submitted to the nations
the Dumbarton Oaks agreements. plus
the supplementary agreements reached
at the Big Three Yalta Conference.
These agreements will be subject to
revision or amendment, and may be
added to. 1t is presumed that the rep
resentatives of many nations will have
suggestions to make. In the conference
itself, each participating nation will
have one vote, and presumably major
ity vote will decide. The rules OF the
conference will be adopted after the
delegations have reached San Francisco
and a meeting of the chairmen OF the
delegations has been held.
The chairman of the delegation Of the
host Nation, Secretary of State Stet-
tinius, will preside at the opening OF the
conference as temporary chairman. The
conference itself will elect a permanent
president If the customary procedure
is followed, however, the permanent
president will be the head of the United
States delegation, again Mr.. Stettinius,
since this country Is the host. Another
point which will be decided at the con-
ference Is the official language, or Ian

The Friendly 'Okies'

Our troops invading OklnaWa have
had a pleasant surprise in the atti-
tude of the natives. Though virtu-
ally indistinguishable from japanese
in physical appearance, the islanders
appear to be very different in
temperament and attitude. These
"Okies," as our G1s promptly nick
named them. are neither fanatically
combative nor Historically fearful to
the point of suicide. as has been the
case with true japanese civilians at
Saipan, Two Jima and elsewhere On
the contrary, the Okinawans are
showing themselves cooperative,
docile and even friendly. Through
out the occupied portion of the is
land there have thus far been no
reported cases of treachery or sabo-
tage. The native islanders seemingly
ask nothing better than to be al
lowed to resume their normal voca-
tions.
Gratifying though all this un-
doubtedly is to our military authori-
ties, it should not have come wholly
as a surprise, because, throughout
their history, the inhabitants not
only of Okinawa but also of the
entire Ryukyu archipelago have been
known as a mild and unwarlike folk.
Though basically of Japanese stock,
the Ryukyuans have not been closely
connected with Japan proper until
recent times. Historically. these is
lands enjoyed semi-independent
status. governed by native princes
who paid formal allegiance some
times to, Japan and then to China,
with scant interference from either
suzerain. During the long period of
Japanese isolation from the outer
world which ended with Commodore
Perry's reopening of the country only
80 years ago, Chinese influence in
the Ryukyus was dominant. There
after, Japan revived its ancient
claims to the archipelago, but China
objected and long diplomatic con-
troversy ensued The issue was
settled only by the sino-Japanese
War of 1894-5. when China aban-
doned its claims to the Ryukyus and
ceded the appendant island of For
mosa.
Only then was Japan able to act
as it pleased in the Ryukyus. But it
is symptomatic of the japanese at
titude and policy that, even toward
this kindred folk. their rule was
harsh and unsympathetic. Imbued
with a deep-seated conviction that
they are master race, the Japanese
have always looked down on the
Ryukyuans as inferiorSat best as
low-caste poor relations. The logi-
cal consequence of such an attitude
is that, after half a century of Japa-

Credit for Gen. Marshall
From the Detroit New

From the Detroit News.
War Correspondent Leland Stowe fit
tingly pointed out in a recent dispatch
"how much Americans owe to the dis
eliminating Judgment of Gen. George
C. Marshall"
This war writer, in reporting from
principal war theaters since the war be-
gan, has at times been severely critical
of conditions attributable to Allied in
efficiencies. There Is a premium on
praise from him.
Writing from New York, after return
ing from Belgium and Italy, Stowe glow
ingly states his collective impression"
is that, from Gen. Eisenhower down,
our commanding Army and Air Force
generals in Europe inspire confidence"
Our higher command in Europe
has been expertly picked and weeded
out until now an exceedingly able team
has been created"
1t did not just happen. More than
any one else," as Stowe says, Gen.
Marshall picked these commanders To
do the job"
The glory of winning battles probably
assures the field commanders of the
most lasting fame. While not attempt
ing to quarrel with that natural result,
we bespeak, now that the war in Europe
is virtually won, Gen. MarshalFs sound
claims for a liberal share of the credit.
