MEAD PROPOSAL
AFFECTS FEpC

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6 (ANP)
Operations of FEPC would GER
tainly be effected if the recommen-
dation of the Mead committee are
taken up, it was said here.
Sen. Mead is chairman of the spe-
cial committee investigating the
national defense program which
last week issued it's fourth annual
report in which it criticized the
handling of reconversion and OBJ
served that unless private indus
try and government are ready to
absorb the released workers, there
will be very serious unemploy-
ment."
In the recommendation affecting
FEPC, the comittee said:
''The Office of War Mobilization
and Reconversion should be put on
supervisory operating basis with
direct control over the other war
agencies. 1t must plan and issue or
ders and not confine itself to UNI
piring disputes"
Heretofore OWMR has been pri-
marily policy-making group func-
tioning at the top levels of govern
ment. 1t is headed now by John W..
Snyder, st. Louis insurance execu-
tive.
The committee points out in it's
conclusions that although we have
escaped "serious unemployment
up to now, this should not "mislead
us into the belief that all is well" +"
1t then goes on with it's recommen-
dations covering completion of the
war against Japan, reconversion to
peace-time pursuits, contract term
ination, and other elements of the
task ahead.
The committee believes that
"jobs ahead should be available to
all who want to work. Should un-
employment and business depres-
sion set in," it continues, "our mill
tary potential will be impaired. 1t
is also necessary to avoid those dan
gers after the war in the Pacific
has been won."

Britain May Limit
Naturalization Plan
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON, Aug. 10.-The Finan-
cial Times, in an editorial addressed
to American business interests, de-
clared today there was no possibil-
ity of Britain's new Labor govern
ment extending its plan for nation-
alization of key industries beyond
this country to the empire over
SEAS"
The paper commented that for
eign observers were still buSily con-
occurring how far the government
would ultimately go and what in
dustries would be affected.
"The United States, with its devo-
ton to free enterprise, is particu-
larly sensitive on this point, as has
been shown in many ways recently,
and a passage in the New York
Times indicates fear on the part of
American businessmen of extension
of naturalization to the colonial
empire" the editorial said
Thus private enterprise might be
eliminated, it is suggested, from the
African cocoa business. and 1T is
mooted that something of similar
pattern might be applied to tea,
rubber and tin"
The publication assured American
interests that none of the colonial
areas is "amenable to nationaliza-
tion."

BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Brig, Gen. Carlos P. Romulo, resi-
dent commissioner of the Philip
pines. today called on the Allies
to eliminate the Japanese Emperor
and every hateful vestige of the
regime that has caused the brutal
tiles and atrocities of this war;"
In a formal statement on the
Japanese offer to surrender, the
former aide to Gen. Macarthur on
Bataan urged that there be mo
weakening now that victory has
been achieved"
With the same awesome deadli-
ness of the atomic bomb" he SAID,
must the spirit Of aggression and
conquest be wiped out and this
can be done only if there be no
compromise with the guilty.
And we must not fail to number
among the guiltiest of the guilty
those who in the eyes of their own
people and the whole world have
always stood as the symbol of power
and authority" he added.
Gen. Romulo recalled that the
Fflipinos have a stake in the vic

ing and the loss of the flower OF
our youth"
However. he stressed "a victory
can be lasting only if it is every
ones victory"

MAKE 1t Unconditional
Yonk in Berlin Soys

BERLIN, Aug. 10 tP).-The Domel
announcement of a surrender offer
by Japan was hailed jubilantly to-
day by American troops in Berlin,
but many of them took the attitude
that the surrender should be un-
conditional.
"It's all right with me II they
want to keep their Emperor" said
one soldier selected at random for
interviewing, Pfc. Clair Siener of
East Hartford, Conn.
"But as long as we have got
them on the ropes, we might as well
go all the way and make it uncon-
ditional."
Most American troops here are
assigned to occupation duty and
it will be months before they can
hope to get home, whether or not
the Pacific war ends now.
They all expressed hope, however,
that quick end to the Pacific war
would speed up the date when they
could leave Europe.

Doctors Under Points,
Medical Journal Says
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Aug. 10.-Physicians
will be discharged from military
service on point discharge sys-
tenn similar to that covering GIs,
the Journal of the American Medi-
cal Association announced yester-
day.
The system for the discharge of
medical officers was drafted by the
Once of the Army, Surgeon Gen.
eral, the Journal said, .s
While the system established
criteria for separation from service,
the surgeon generals announcement
did not disclose the basis on which
points would be awarded. Neither
did it indicate when or how many
medical officers might be returned
to civilian life.
Two Glasses Established.
Two classes Of officers were estab-
lished, the announcement said, "one
for scarce specialists, the other for
nopscarce specialists and general
duty officers" The list of scarce
specialists was kept to a minimum,
the Army added, after a review of
worldwide requirements and avail
abilities.
The criteria for separation fol-
lows:
y. Medical Corps officers returned
by theater or declared surplus by
a major force Except those with
primary military occupational spe-
cialties listed in paragraph below
are eligible for release from active
duty if their adjusted service rating
is 100 or above.
"a. Medical Corps officers in cer-
tain scarce military occupational
specialties are eligible for release
from active military duty if they
have an adjusted service rating of
100 or more; gastroenterology,
ophthalmology and otolaryngology,
cardiology, dermatology, allergies,
neuropsychiatry, neuro-
surgery, thoracic surgery, plastic
surgery, orthopedia surgery, clinical
laboratory.
Men Over 50 Eligible.
"3. Medical Corps officers over so
years OF age, irrespective Of their
speciality classification, are eligible
for relief from active military duty
If they are returned to the United
States by a theater or declared sur
plus by major force.
q. No Medical Corps officer with
an efficiency index of Al or more
who desires to remain on active
military duty will be relieved, ire
spective of age, military occupa-
tional speciality or adjusted service
rating"
The announcement said that be-
cause general hospitals in the
United States are at peak and be-
cause the surgeon general desired
to send replacements to the Pacific
as quickly as possible "the age pro-
vision is not being put into effect at
the moment for personnel in the
Army Service Forces and no Medi-
cal Corps officer in the nonscarce
category is being released who has
less than ITO points Except those
who returned from overseas since
We day."

American Air Forces in China,

United States, the President Of
the national government Of the
Republic of China and the Prime
Minister of Great Britain, repre-
senting the hundreds OF millions
of our countrymen, have con-
ferred and agreed that Japan

end this war.
2. The prodigious land, sea and
air forces of the United States,
the British empire and China.
many times reinforced by their
armies and air fleets from the
west, are poised to strike the final
blow at Japan. This military
power is sustained and inspired
by the determination of all Allied
nations to prosecute the war

to resist.

8. The result of the futile and
senseless German resistance to
the might of the aroused free
peoples of the world stands forth
in awful clarity as an example
to the people of Japan. .~a
The might that now converges
on Japan is immeasuxably
greater than that which, when
applied to the resisting Nazis,
necessarily laid waste to the land,
the industry and the method of
life Of the whole German people.
The full application Of our mill
tary power. backed by our re-
solve. will (underscored) mean
the inevitable and complete de-
struction of the Japanese armed
forces and just as inevitably the

to decide whether she will con-
tinue to be controlled by these
self-willed militaristic advisers
whose unintelligent calculations
have brought the empire of
Japan to the threshold of ami
hilation, or whether she will fol-

we will not deviate from them;
there are no alternatives; we
shall brook no delay.

6. There must be eliminated

conditional surrender with its at
tendant benefits as laid down by the
Atlantic Charter"
Under terms of the Atlantic Char
ter enunciated by President Roose-
welt and Prime Minister Churchill,
the adherents respect the rights Of
all people to choose the form of
government they wish. The charter
also specifies that its adherents
seek no territorial or other aggran-
dizement, desire to see no changes
not according with the freely ex-
backing the unconditional surrender
terms drafted at Potsdam.
The Potsdam ultimatum con-
tanned these points:
/. Elimination "for all time" of
the authority and influence of those
who led Japan into her career of
conquest.
2. Occupation of points in Japa-
nese territory to be designated by
the Allies until a new order of
peace and security in the world
is assured.
3. Limitation of Japanese SOW
ereignty to the main japanese is
lands of Honshu, Hokkaido, Kyushu,
Shikoku and few minor Islands.

Cairo declaration which would strip
Japan of all her conquests.
S. Complete disarmament of Jap

nation.

Provisions of Cairo Declaration.
The Cairo declaration of Decem-
ber l, 1943, was issued by President
Generalissimo Chang
Kai-Shek and Prime Minister
Churchill. Like the Potsdam declar-
alton, its terms would drive Japan
back to her home islands. The
salient territorial provisions were
these:
l. Japan would relinquish all Pa
cific islands seized since the World
War, including the Carolinas and
Marianas, taken from Germany.
2. Manchuria, Formosa, the Pes
cadores and all other territories
taken from China would be restor-
ed to China.
3. Korea would be free and in
Gin due course"
4. Japan would be expelled from
"all other territories which she has
taken by violence and greed" This
provision would include Wake Island,
Hong Kong, Maya, the still occu-
pied section of Burma, The Neither
lands, Indies and other Pacific
Islands, French Indo-China and
Thailand.
At the time of the declaration,
it was estimated that Japanese pos
sessions would be reduced from s.
100000 square miles and 100000, 900
persons to about $4,000 square
miles and 100000 people. In the
year and half intervening, however,
Allied might has evicted the jap
anese from much of their conquests.
