GENERAL MACARTHUR has given a
straightforward comprehensive statement
on what is going on in Japan under his dlrec-
ton 1t should break down some Ot the not
headed and partisan clamOr which has fol
lowed his recent statement that 2OO,oOo men
will be enough to hold Nippon in check by
July next The people Of our Nation are tlr-
ed of endless squabbles about who Is boss
over whom, or who is formulating policies.
We have won a hard War, and Macarthur
had a large place in the defeat Of the JapS.
He knows these unSpeakable orlentalS as few
men know them When he says that Japan
is already militarly, commercially and eco
nonicay PROSTATE and faces catastrophe
conditions, we believe him. He believes that
by Il stern uncOmprOmlsng application ot the
POtSdam Declaration Japan Will be rendered
incapable Of further aggression during the
predict;rDe future. Certainly, all Americans
desire Just that. 1t must be remembered that
Macarthur has landed an army OF over loO,-
600 men in Il hostile land without the loss OF
one single American life. He continues to
land other hundreds Of thousands. Thou
sands of Allied prisoners have been freed,
numerous Jap war criminals are behind bars
and the Jap army and navy is we'll along III
the process Of complete demobllzatlOn. In
his recent statement General Macarthur
makes it plain that policy to be followed will
be formulated in Washington and that he is
the instrument through which it Will be
carried out. 1t is time that those III WASH
ngtOn leave him alone and allow him to
complete the job which has carried him from
Australia to Tokyo. Americans want the job
done and their boys returned home at the
earliest possible time consistent with safety.
Macarthur is we'll qualified to Judge when
this time arrives.
INCREASING NUMBERS of Gamers,
packers and professors are preparing new
and more informative labels for their pro
ducts as they shift the maj lOr part of their
output from supplying the government to
that of the civilian trade. The professors
were unable to make much progress in in
creaSing the amount Of descriptive matter on
their labels in the past three years because
they were deVOtlng most OF their time to
packing standard foods and developing new
types for the military forces. ScarcltieS Of
papers, inks and other facilities necessary to
the manufacture of labels were also factors.
These latter shortages still exist and con-
tinue to handicap efforts Of the industry in
the labelling program. Proponents of more
informative labelling declare that the agree
ment by many wholesale grocers and chain
store officials to follow the conclusions re-
sulting from the studies being made by the
National Gamers Association covering print
ed matter on cOntalner wrappers carrying
their names was an important step in the
labelling campaign. Wholesale grocers anC
chan-stores have numerous types of foods
packed under their names by many process
sors 1t is believed that many other indus
tries will join the movement. Consumer in
terest in the work has developed consider
ably as Il result of educational campaigns ;lnt
studies which organizations promoting bet
ter labelling have made. Recent surveys indi
cate that consumers are very deslrouS tha
manufacturers place on the wrappers idea
for the use Of the product, not necessMi
recipes. If, and when, this new labelling
voluntarily handled by the professors tn
general public will have better idea of jus
what they are getting for their money.
