Our Policy Toward
Japan

A MEXICAN policy with regard to
Japan has been reaffirmed by
acting Secretary of State Dean
Acheson, who points out that "the
occupation forces are the instru-
ments of policy and not the de-
terminants of policy"
Acheson says that (1) the sur
render of Japan will be carried
out; GU Japan will be put in
position where it cannot renew ag-
gressive warfare; (3) the present
economic and social system of
Japan which makes for will to
war will be changed; and (4) that
whatever it takes to carry this out
will be used to carry it out.

tered from the North sea to the Ba-

tors have pieced together an appal-
ling picture of widespread activity
based upon race hatred, and other
Nazi principles with which the Ger
man youth has been so thoroughly
indoctrinated in a manner pointed
out in these columns some time ago
and which | then said must be dealt
with eventually.
The offenSe is powerful, and the
weakness of our defense is illustrat-
ed in recent dispatches telling us
how Nazi propaganda is affecting the
viewpoint of the American army of
occupation. A major is reported as
doubling the truth Of the atrocity
stories in the concentration camp of
Dachau located only a few miles
from where he was stationed. Amer
lean soldiers are heard parroting the
familiar Goebbels' fabrication that
Germany was forced into the war;
that Hitler had his faults but was
really great in many respects. or if
Hitler's glory is found to be too
strong a goat he is used as scape-
goat to excuse German war guilt.
have just come from a long talk
with one of Americas great educa-
tors, John Studebaker, United States
Commissioner of Education. It was
he who introduced me to the phrase.
1.-THE new reconversion.
Our democratic system is threat
ened from within and without" he
said to me earnestly. The Amer
lean school gave our polyglot nation
the solidarity to carry on the war
successfully. But he added, 1--WE
have severe tests ahead. We must
educate for freedom, and educate for
existence in a newly migrated
world of which we are an integral
part. We must understand our own
problem and the problems of 9TH
ers."
! couldn't help applying this the
DRY to the stories from Germany.
A thorough understanding of democ-
racy is proof against Nazi propagan-
da. An understanding of other peo-
Piles and events beyond our borders
which affect us-as the rise of Hitler
and Mussolini affected us-would
make us deaf to German prevarica-
lions and excuses.
In order to meet the threats
against democracy from within and
from without, Mr.. Studebaker be-
lieves, with most of his colleagues,
that our present educational system
will have to be thoroughly renovat-
ed. Both the plant and the product
must be remodeled," he says.
He chose two subjects-geography
and economics--as examples of how
the product must be altered

1--we very near,
thanks to jet propulsion and atomic
energy. if not always very dear
neighbors. Geography is also the
study of the pursuits, the indus
tries of the people of the world. It's
grasp is essential if we are to bring
intelligent thought to judgment of
events and the conditions at home
and abroad and their effect upon
each other and upon US.
And yet. geography was never
taught to our people" Mr. Studebak-
er says. I'VE stop teaching it at the
eighth grade. The younger children,
from three to eight, are taught by
teachers who themselves never had
more than eighth grade instruction
in the subject"
And his second example of one
of our educational products which
must be strengthened, economics,
belongs still less to the people,"
Only per cent of the high school
pupils ever studied economics, he in
formed me, and only S per cent of
these ever learned anything about
international trade.
How can we possibly meet the
problems arising now if we do not
understand this subject? How can
we possibly maintain free enterprise
If we cannot pass a considered judg-
ment on the questions that the pa
pers are full of every day? How can
person say whether a wage on
crease is fair if he has never studied
the simplest theories of supply and
demand, or the more complicated
relations of wages, costs, profits?"
And in the international field, he
continued, how could a person who
had never learned the fundamentals
of international trade know whether
tariff was justified, whether a car
tel was dangerous. whether certain
foreign business activities benefited
the people as whole, whether free
competition or government subsidy
was a better policy? How could
they advise their congressman to
vote on the Breton Woods agree
ment, or the policy of foreign loans?
Just as geography suffers because
its teaching ends before maturity is
reached maturity in this sense is
the 1916 year group. roughly high
school age). economics is begun too
late. 1t is offered as a one-year,
high school course and boiled down
into such a concentrated potion that
not only are vital elements omitted
(such as international trade) but it
becomes dry and highly abstruse
subject. Furthermore, since il is
often an elective Ga subject I'll touch
on in later article), it may be omit
ted entirely because it is hard"
These two subjects are only two
examples of those which should, in
Mr.. Studebaker's opinion, make up
a solid core" of education avail
able to all.
This core, p" he says, lis essential

A salesman representing a firm of
efficiency experts managed, several
years ago, to gain admission to the
Office of a small manufacturer, one
who employed fewer than 200 peo-
pie. The solicitor made a sale. He
induced his prospect to hire the
services of the system fixers who,
he promised. would show the owner
how to save great deal more Of
his factory's annual earnings.
After contracting for this rather
high-priced advice, the owner OF the
business was impatient for results.
He could hardly wait for the first
expert to come and prune out
needless expenses. Less work and
more profit on the same volume al
ways seems attractive. Finally
came a polished man of 40 wearing
spectacles with conspicuous rims on

washington, -. ".
This Is the first Of two articles on
the subject Of the "new recOnver-
siOn."l
In the last two months the public
has learned lot about the impor-
lance of industrial reconveFsion. For
many more months, business men,
with the help of the best technical
advice they could obtain. have been
preparing to shift from wartime, to
peacetime production. Government
has shared the knowledge of its ex-
perts and proffered its cooperation.
Labor has contributed its sugges-
tons. All three know what they
want. Together they hope to obtain
a successful synthesis.
But what many people do not real
ize is that the nation, the whole
world, for that matter, is facing an
other reconversion problem, equally
as difficult to solve, equally as i'm
portant to achieve. It is the recon-
version of our whole educational sys-
. tenn, and upon its success depends
the political future of democracy
and its economic future as well, as
embodied in the theory and out
working of free enterprise.
1t is nc. exaggeration 10 say that
our current educational system,
which along with our wartime in
dustrial system made Allied victory
possible, is no more adapted to meet
the new and startling problems of
the postwar world than the Japanese
defense could meet the atomic
bomb.
Enlightened educators everywhere
realize this. In a short time experts
will meet in London to work out a
program outlined in San Francisco
by the men and women who planned
the educational and cultural coun-
Gil of the United Nations. Here at
home and in other democratic coun-
tries, domestic educational policies
are oelng reShaped to meet the new
conditions.
Education for world freedom is an
important objective; education for
freedom in the land Of the free is
equally important. for it is the foun-
dation stone of world democracy.
We have the task of reconverting
our own Anticipated machinery so
that 1t win be geared to produce
and maintain freedom. The United
Nations task is to build new ma
chinery which will evolve prod
uct which must displace the Nazi-
Fascist teachings which still have
their hold on large segment of the
population. Our own product must
be both weapon of offense and of
defense.
We have a powerful example in
the need for this in the demonstrate
ed strength of the Nazi theology and
the weakness of what we have so far
produced to combat it.

w. Stuart Symington was sworn
in yesterday as surplus property
administrator and Immediately an
nounced policy of decentralization
he said was aimed at speeding up
disposal of surplus goods.
Mr.. Symington, a former st. Louis
businessman, takes over direction of
the agency from the old three-mem-
Der Surplus Property Board, of
which he was chairman. The switch
to single administrator, recon-
mended by President Truman, was
approved by Congress last week.
Mr.. Swmington listed four dis
posal problems which he described
as paramount at this time:
/. Making it simple for veterans to
exercise their preference rights in
buying surplus goods.
2. Expediting clearance of Gov
ernment property from war plants
3. Achievement of more effective
and rapid disposal of surplus goods
with special emphasis" on the
needs of preferred groups under the
act.
4. Speedy disposal of war plants
