him in San Francisco, where he

Selling Surplus Ships

WE SEE by the newspaper that
Z the Maritime Commission re-
Gently received bids for the Ameri-
can President Lines, peacetime
operators of worldwide and trans
Pacific passenger and freight
routes.
The bids varied from $4,000, 900
to $8,611,266. The bidders agreed
to maintain the scheduled pre-war
services.
We are not familiar with the
proposed sale, but, in view of the
scandalous sale of ships and ship
ping lines after the first World
War and the great number of sur
plus ships now owned by the Gov
eminent, let US hope there will be
no repetition of the type of sales
manship that followed the last
war.

mistreatment of prisoners of war,
the General warned Lieutenant
General Tishina, the Japanese
Commander, that he wiuld enforce
most vigorously all orders issued
so let there be no delay in full
fillment, at your peril"
This is the talk that the Japa-
nese understand and it is the kind
of announcement that must be
made to convince them that they
have lost a war. The probability
is that the Japanese militarists are
counting upon the chivalry and
civilization Of the white man to
permit them to salvage something
out of their attempted piracy. They
should not be allowed any comfort
in such an idea.

Atrocities The Rule

ALMOST EVERY news dispatch
tht comes from the Far Eastern
theatre of war tells of additional
reports of mistreatment of Ameri-
can, and other Allied nationals,
while in the prisons, camps and
torture chambers of the Japanese.
From Manila, the American
Headquarters say that more than
1000 atrocity cases have been pre-
pared, naming several thousand
Japanese, who are slated for trial
as war criminals. This is only a
start and every effort should be
made to discover those guilty of
responsibility for the brutal and in
humane treatment of helpless pris-
oners of war.

Air Force Losses
In Europe

THE ARMY Air Force reports
that there were 3S,185 airmen
killed or missing in the war in
Europe.
The reader will appreciate the
magnitude of these casualties and
the scope of aerial operations by
recalling that, in the first World
War, the nation lost $4,000 dead.
y Some 1858 planes were lost in
air combats that preceded the col
lapse of Germany. Up to that time,
we do not know the number of air
craft that was involved in Euro
pean operations, but apparently the
percentage of loss was rather high.

One Of the administrator hottest
political potatoes is a matter that
nobody likes to talk about--even the
opposition. 1t is military service. Not
universal military service next
month or next year but any old kind
Of military service today and tomor-
row, right up to election day, 1913.
The problem has many facets but
1t has one, awesome nub = the vet
eran vote. There are several danger
signals which the Democratic adj
ministration is watching with some
trepidation: the criticism over con-
tinuation Of the draft which the
President has given his complete
) and unqualified support; recurring
complaints of discontinued soldiers
and their families appearing in ra-
do, congressional, national commit
tee and other Washington fan mail,
which add up to resounding de-
mand for more and quicker dis
charges, and finally, a growing fear
that the feeling which used to be
called isolationism is cropping up in
a new FORM nti-militarism."
The administration doesn't dare
make any move to permit drastic
reduction in the armed forces now.
Military experts think it will be the
middle Of October before any such
move can be contemplated. BY that
time they think the danger of any
serious outbreak in Japan viii be
over, or there will be evidence that
one is coming.

AUait Jap Reaction
To Occupotion

The full impact of the occupation
Of japan will not be felt until
American soldiers are deep in the
heart of the country. Before that,
the reaction Of the Japanese people
and the influence Of the military
leaders as opposed to the influence
Of the emperor, cannot be gauged.
Suffice it to say that the surrender
terms as well as the surrender it.
self came as a shock to the Japa-
nese people.
Many Americans fail to realize
that a relatively small American
army landed in Japan in an area
in which there were no Japanese
except those permitted to be there
by the authorities who arranged the
surrender. There was no contact
with the general population or the
military. Scattered over the rest of
the country is powerful Japanese
army, as yet fully armed, in defense
positions, strengthened when the
Japs completely reorganized their
home defense against invasion
after the capture Of Okinawa. Dis
regarding the thousands of jap
anese sailors now on shore, the air
force, the supply troops and others,
it is known that on Hokkaido there
were two full divisions. "a Jap divi.
sion is between $4,000 and 10000
menu On Honshu there were A
divisions and z brigades "a brigade
is roughly half a division). On Kyu-
shu IA divisions and brigades.
1t is estimated that we would have
50O,0 900 men In the islands by the
middle of September. That is
against Japanese army (not count
ing the sailors. airmen and othersl
of we'll over a million. That is why
there can be no sharp reduction in
American troops until we know
what, if anything, is cooking under
the cherry trees.
And then when that question Is
answered we have the question of
occupation. 1t has been estimated
that to police Germany, Japan
and Korea and perhaps parts of
China will take 100000 men.
Where will they come from?
Where will 10000 come from for
that matter? Already 4 sharp re-

Labor Department
Reorganization
BY Robert ]. Watt
Member Of the National War Labor
Board

Member of the National War Labor
Board
The reorganization of the Depart
ment Of Labor, announced by President
Truman, is half step in the right
direction and no more.
The Presidents action was blown up
in the newspapers as making the
Labor Department stronger than ever
before in it's history. 1t did nothing OF
the kind.
/ do not wish to belittle the Presi-
dents well-intentioned move, but in the
long run it is better to know what we
are about than to delude ourselves.
Even casual glance at the agencies
which have now been transferred to
the Labor Department will disclose the
essential weakness of the whole man
euver.
First, the War Manpower Commits
sion. This agency, powerful and i'm
| portant during wartime, is now prac-
tically dead set of initials. 1t was de-
signed to guide workers where they
were most needed in a time of labor
shortages. Now, with surplus labor
conditions and unemployment develop
ing its lease on life is just about over.
Then, take the War Labor Board.
This agency also is living on borrowed
time. For the most part it IS not ac-
cepting any new cases. President Tru-
man himself has indicated that he be-
lieves the board should wind up its re-
naming docket as promptly as pos
sible and step out.
BY his executive order, the Presi-
dent also moved the United States En-
ployment Service back to the Labor
Department. That would be a signifi-
cant and desirable change. The only
trouble is that the United States Sen
ate voted two days later to place tht
Employment Service under state con
troll. If the House of Representatives
concurs in this action, the most I'M
poltant element in the reorganization
plan would be nullified.
The American Federation of Labol
believes emphatically that the Labor
Department should be reorganized anc
strengthened. We do not believe tina
the President has as yet gone ia
