Collegiate basketball title. Although both teams have identical records of l2 wins In l3 starts we think shat the Army will beat them Tn 5as- ketball as they did earlier in foot ball. One word to the wise is to not consider the records so much as the men that make up the team. Kenna, Hall and Dobbs have proven their worth so far in basketball ana previously on the gridiron. While the fact .hat the Nays out Tor blood is another fact to be corsi- dered before making your choice: And 1t took more than want or blood for the Navy to beat Penn who in turn handed the Army their only defeat, So why not just toss up coin and if 1t comes heads pick Army and tails the Navy. It came heads for me and saved me Q lot of head aches, maybe.

Damage in Belgium
Washington Evening Starr


 News from Belgium published by the Belgian Information Center in New York, reproduces figures on war damage in Belgium which originally appeared in Le Soir a well-known Brussels newspaper and material cost of modern conflict Liege for example was a city of 31 088 buildings in 1939 The number of structures wrecked between 940 and 945 announced as 2l 687 In Antwerp 1869 out of 43773 buildings were destroyed Proportonately the dew astation in Mechlin where 8,022 edfices of various sorts out of total of 7690 blasted to pieces.
 The Belgian capital suffered the loss of 5041 structures when 3 976 available as targets but little Saint Ghislain, with only 337 units to be hit by bombs from the sky bereft of 1l88 and still smaller Laroche, with only 762 buildings came through the ordeal of fire with but 69 standing dof faze meanwhile, became only memory with all Of it's 416 houses shops schools and churches eveled to the ground.
 Of course reconstruction program on national scale is inevitable. There thousands of Belgian men and women who remember wildly enough the spectacle of their broken cities and ruined towns they were when the Germans left them at the close of the First World War in 1918. They recall too the vigor and zeal with which repairs then were under taken the present occasion the damage is greater more thorough costly. But the spirit of survival in the hearts of the people is the same The Burgo- master of Ostend already has prepared plan for the complete rebuilding of his community along improved modern lines of scientific designing.

which they represent, system which teaches all devout and loyal Japanese that war and conquest are an essential part of their life, which stands between us and per- manent peace.
 The best description of how Joe Grew was completely hoodwinked by the charming and moderate" nobility around the Emperor is told by young U. s. Naval officer Andrew Roth, who was promptly clapped into jail after his book was submitted to superior officers for clearance, and who still faces charge of using government documents for his own gain. How ever, when and if his book, "Di- lemma in Japan" is published by Little Brown x Co, it will be something every American in- terested in peace in the Pacific should read I am indebted tc It.

peace talks which the world later realized were a mere smoke-Screen for the attack on Pearl Harbor.
 Six weeks after Crews childishly trusting report, the moderate Emperor whom he trusted and still trusts, savagely declared a holy war against the United States.
 Despite that grevious error which may have contributed to our being caught mapping at Pearl Harbor, Ed Stettinius later picked Grew to be his Assistant Secretary of State, and we have since accepted Crews advice regarding retention of the Emperor.
 (Note-Some diplomats now point out that with Grew, an official of the U. s. Government, making public statements favorable to the Emperor during the war, it was only natural for the Japanese to accept the bait dangled before them and propose keeping the Emperor. After all, Grew held the second most important post in the conduct of our foreign affairs. And the Japanese would have been foolish, in view of Crews known views, not to have taken advantage of them.)

LABOR DEMOCRACY

Vassili Kuznetsov, heading a Soviet trade unlon delegation on visit to the United States, has some ideas on the subject of labor democracy which must have proved surprising even to his host-the Congress of Industria! Organizations
 MT Kuznetsov feels that unionism in Russia is exceedingly democratic perhaps than in the United States And to prove his point he told press conference arranged by the C1O that in Russia there is no checkoff of union dues, is there any such thing as closed shop In his country, he says, any and the feeling is that if union wants members it ought to convince the workers that it is to their advantage to join Under this democratic system MT Kuznesov added there have been strikes in Russia during the and strike oi any consequence since 1905
 It has been announced that the Soviet delegation, while in the United States, will visit number of industrial cities to inspect American labor union procedure, the tour to be made under the guidance of the CIO In the of this trip MT Kuznetsov will observe trade union practices with which he has had no personal experience He will see the checkoff in operation and he will witness the workings of the closed shop or some of its variants. under which a man must belong to union in order to work. Tn all probability he also will across strike, perhaps even a strike in vital war plant
 For the sake of his health, if he intends to return to Russia he ought to these phenomena with great detachment He may be told that these are

eigners. Shortly after that, the first signs of democracy began to emerge in Japan. The Peoples Rights Movement" started, followed by the organization of the Liberal Party in 1881.
 This threw the Ieudai arlstocracy into a state of jitters and began their careful campaign to win over the Japanese people to Shintoism and Emperor worship. For a time all opposition newspapers were suppressed, Japanese history books were rewritten to show that Japa- nese Emperors had ruled in un- broken line since 660 B.C. (which was definitely not the case) and one of the most intensive propa- ganda campaigns in history was put across to sell the Japanese people on their Emperor and the aristocrat militarist clique which manipulate the strings behind him.
 Shintoism was useG on the Japa- nese people as Hitler used Aryan supremacy on the Nazis; though Emperor worship was even more potent.
 Out of all this, emerged the in- stitution of the Emperor of Japan the most powerful force for in- telnal repression and for external aggression in all history. This is what the American Military Gov ernors of Japan will have to undo They must undermine the influence of the Emperor, yet, at the same time, use him to rule Japan. Under this paradoxical setup, their task obviously will not be easy.

The Umpire Aroused
Cincinnati EnquirSr)


 We never thought you could call an umpire enough bad names to arouse him to fisticuffs We've heard barrages of nvectives hurled from the beachers in such profusion and with such force that we were certain there'd be some action from the field But every umpire ever saw just yelled, "Yeeeeerout, hched up his pants and went umpiring.
 Yet apparently you can make an umpire pretty mad even if you're only loWy bleacher rooter and not a first-baSe line coach. Anyway, George Mager kurh seemed pretty mad when he hit one of the cash customers smack optic after the game at Crosley Field day or two ago.
 A couple of other things about the case astounded us From all the things we've heard said about umpires we never, thought court would ever turn one of them loose once it got it's legalistic hands him. Yet George went free-almost stark free, the newspaper boys tell us.
 In sparse basbell experience 1t always has been the umps who on the receiving end of volence-and here again the Magerkurth epic sur prised us. We've 'em hit by pop bottles, we've em blighted by fist-shakings We never saw one fight back. But George was the worm that turned

HIROHITO AND BIG BUSINESS

Most important thing for our military governors to remember about Hirohito is that-D he is hog-tied by and is a part of the five big business families of Japan which helped promote Japanese conquest of China and which wax fat on wars; and @, he is the heart and soul of a state religion which breaches war.
 This is what our former Am- bassador to Japan, MT Grew, so tragically failed to grasp before Pearl Harbor and what he has continued to ignore when, as Undersecretary of State, he has sold policy of Emperor retention on Secretary Byrnes and President Truman.
 How charming and ingratiating the Japanese nobility can be Cor else how naive our Ambassador was) is indicated by Crews own diary and by some of the tele- grams he sent back to the State Department just six weeks before Pearl Harbor. It was obvious from Crews reports that the Imperial courtiers of Hirohito wrapped our Ambassador around their little fingers.
 Not only did he urge that we continue sending oil and scrap iron to Japan, but in late October 194l. after the bloodthirsty Gen. Tojo actually had become Prime Minister, Grew was so naive and shortsighted as to inform the State Department that Tojo would resign" If he failed to iron out U. S.-Japanese troubles in the

HOW TO CREATE PEACEFUL JAPAN

The chief problem facing U. s. Governors of Japan is how to wean Japanese physocology away from the idea that Japan's future can only be solved through military aggres- sion. Making this conversion with the Emperor still on the throne is going to be difficult-because, he has been the spearhead of the conquest theory in the past.
 However, the Emperor has not been such a sacroSanct institution in the past as the Grew school of thought would have us believe Twice during the reign of Emperor Melji, grandfather of Hirohito there was rebellion against him, suppressed only after terrific slaughter. Once there was even an attempt to assassinate Hirohito.
 And when the former Mayor of Tokyo, Yujio Ozaki, made a speech against the Emperor since Pearl lAdl DOl llt Wdo SlNtI year jail sentence; but public sentiment was such that the military did not dare put him in jail Ozaki, a strong friend of the U. s. A. and a bitter opponent of the military wa seven elected to the Diet in l942, after Pearl Harbor.
 If U. s. Government officials are wise they will endeavor to deflate the influence of the Emperor in the reverse manner used by the feudal barons and big business leaders to carefully build him up shortly after Commodore Perry opened Japan's doors to the world
 This column has already told how the Emperor's influence at that time was relatively nil, but was strengthened partly during the campaign against the mated for
