Statement Is Issued from History Making
 Meeting Place YALTA, (RIMEA, E
 SCENE OF (0NFAB Nine-Poinf Program Is Set Up for War and
 Peace

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12 = The Big Three Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin-have agreed on plans for the shortening of the war in Europe and for the complete elimi- nation of both Nazism and Ger man militarism by cooperative ac- tion in liberated Europe.
 This is announced in a com munique from the meeting plaes of the Big Three in the Crimea. The conference was held at Yalta, and lasted eight days
 The conference resulted, the statement said, in the continuing and growing cooperation and un- derstanding among our three coun- tries and among all peace-loving nations"
 As for Germany, the statement went on, there was and will be no effort to soften, and unconditional surrender will be forced
 Tt is not our purpose to destroy the people of Germany" the an- nouncement said, but only when the Nazis and militarism are ex- tirpated will there be any hope of a decent life for Germans and place for them in the comity of nations
 At another point, the communi- que said, "Nazi Germany is doomed. The Germans win only make the cost of their defeat heavier to themselves by attempting to con- tinue hopeless resistance"
 Nine Points
 The communique covered nine specific subjects:
 1.-The defeat of Germ any through combined military plans agreed upon by the Big Three--a very close working partnership among the three staffs was at tained at this conference and will result in shortening the war"
 2-Occupation and control of Germany through three-way split of that country and occupation to be made under a three-power con- trol commission in Berlin was agreed upon, but France is to be invited to take over a fourth zone of occupation and will be put on as a fourth member of the control commission. Plans for controlling Germany include disbanding all German armed forces, weakening of the general staff, eliminating or controlling all enemy industry that could be used for military produc- tion.'
 3-A separations commission is to be established with headquarters in Moscow to study compensation by Germany to Allied countries.
 On Poland
 4-The Big Three has agreed to merge Polands exiled democratic leaders" with the provisional gov- ernment now functioning in War saw to create a Polish provisional Government of National Unity" British and American ambassadors to Moscow and Foreign Commissar Molotov are named as a commis- sion to bring this government into being. The Big Three also agreed that the eastern frontier of Po- land should follow the Curzon Line with digressions from it in some regions of from five to eight kilometers in favor of Poland Also recognized is Poland's right to German territory in compensation for what Russia gets from the Poles, but final settlement will await the peace conference.

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON tLt Col Robert s. Allen now on active
 service with the Army)

WASHINGTON-D Diplomats who studied the agenda of the Big Three" Conference in advance, say that Franklin Roosevelt faces the most crucial conference of his career. Out of it will come either World Peace and an ordered world for the next 50 years; or the early seeds of another war.
 Roosevelt's problem will be to persuade Stalin and Churchill to go along on broad unselfish peace plans, including Dumbarton Oaks, at time when most of the trump cards no longer are in his hands.
 Four years ago, just after France fell, Churchill would have given anything, any kind of broad peace machinery, any reasonable part of the Empire to secure American Support. Today he will not even promise the return of Hongkong to China
 Three years ago when Russia was fighting back to the wall at Stalingrad, Stalin would have given far-reaching pledges for a broad peace plan. Today he will not even accept Dumbarton Oaks unless Russia has a veto of the Council of the United Nations to block any disciplinary action against an ag- gressor nation.
 FDR. has to face the fact that both Stalin and Churchill now have most of what they want, and Roosevelt is left with almost no trump cards, except the humani- tartan appeal that the Allies must not abandon the goal of peace for which mankind fought, plus the threat that the American people, if disillusioned, will become isola- tionist as never before.
 THE BIC THREE" AGENDA
 Perhaps the toughest nut Roose- welt has to crack is to secure Stalin's acceptance of the Dum- barton Oaks peace machinery with out crippling amendments. First, however, let's examine the points on the agenda which should be easier. There are six main items on the Big Three" Agenda, as fol- lows:
 l. WAR AGAINST JAPAN-This was promised by Stalin at Teheran as soon as Germany was defeated. It was promised in return for the Allied second front in Germany and there is no reason to believe Stalin will not keep this pledge. He has been meticulous in keeping prom ises once they have been given. and F.DR. expects no trouble about this.
 2 POLAND-Rooseve is propos- ing a compromise whereby Premier Mikolajczyk, recently resigned from the London-P Polish Government, will enter the Russian-inspired Lublin Government of Poland The United States and Britain would then recognize the Lublin Government. The President is also proposing that Russia withdraw some of it's claims to old Poland as conciliatory ges- ture to the Poles.
 3. THE BALTIC PROVINCES The United States will now recog- nize Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia as part of Russia Thus far the United States has recognized them

Further Waste

London reports without confirmation from
the Admiralty, that the British Navy plans to
tow hundred German submarines into the
Atlantic and sink them. 1t is added that the
operation will represent the greatest sinking
since the German fleet was sunk at Sacpa
Flow after World War I, an act accredited
german agents.
few other German subs are to be distri-
buted among Britain, France and the Soviet
Union for experimental purposes. Disposition
of Germany's surface naval craft, according
to the same source, is to bring the Prlnz
Eugen to the United States for atom bomb
experiments along with ships from the Japa
nese fleet, and the Nuremberg, 6-OOO-tor
cruiser is to 60 to Russia. Brltaln's share Is
expected to be confined to destroyers and low
er categories, "'because Germany's ships gen
orally would be virtually useless to Britain .
The Prinz Eugen's sister ship, the Hyper, is
to be blown up.
Aside from experiments to determine the ct
fectiveness of A-bonbs on naval craft, the
whole proposal as here summarized represents
tremendous waste of materials which have mo-
/ lost their usefulness in industry One hundred
submarines contain not only huge amount o.
steel, some of which probably could be repor
cessed to advantage, but innumerable fixture!
and trappings of real value.
Is the sinking program merely an outgrowtf
of the wastefulness practiced in all nation
during the war?

The Common Mould

General de Gualle, recently chosen interim
president of France, is having his troubles,
chief of which seems to be his inability to
form a coalition government because of COM
munist obstructionism, and it is limited he con-
templates resigning his high post as a re-
suit The communists are said to demand one
of the three key Cabinet posts Minister of
the Interior, Foreign Affairs or War and
claim that President de Gaulle has turned
them down cold.
Because of its grave political situation it
is not apparent what or how many men could
assume the responsibility of Frances presi-
dency, if deGaulle steps out. He has no parti-
cularly outstanding attributes of leadership.
as he has demonstrated from the Oran fluke
attack down to the present day, but so far
as the news reveals it is not apparent that
France has a true leader, young and strong
enough to take the job. Old men, yes, notable

Aside from this, however, it is notable that

been conspicuous in the Russian commun-
lists course, to wit their insistence on having

A Wrong Impression

Reference was made in these columns on
Thursday to DR.. A. H. Elliott's need for an
assistant in the Health Department and the
county's need for an all-time veterinarian 1t
was noted that Doctor Elliott had brought the
situation to the attention of the Health Board,
but that the board had taken no action.
This was literally true but created the wrong
impression. The board could take no action
as the present budget makes no provision 70,
compensation either for a medical aide OF
veterinarian. But Doctor Elliot advises the
Star News that the board instructed him ia
find means to pay him even before the new

MdCATLQur went OlIeCLly 1nLO a
private cabin. l stood out on the
deck beneath one Of the huge for
ward turrets, and never saw as
many generals and admirals in
one spot in my life.
When the glum little Jap dele
cation had taken its place to fill
the square, led by Foreign Min
lister Mamoru Shigemitsu, Mac
Arthur made his entrance with
Admiral Nimitz. 1t was an unfor-
gettable moment.
AS Macarthur came through the
American lineup he motioned to
Gen. Percival and me to follow
him, and to stand behind him as
he stepped to the microphone. He
then gave the short historic talk
which schoolboys will know a
thousand years from now, and told
the Japs to come up and sign. Then
he sat down at the table to sign
as Supreme Allied Commander. He
took five fountain pens out of his
pocket and placed them on the
table.
Then heSbegan to write his name.
When halfway through it he stop
ped, turned to me and asked me
to step forward. He gave me the
pen, a wholly unexpected and very
great gift. He picked up another
pen, wrote a bit more, and gave
that to Gen. Percival. The next
three pens he set aside, to be
given to various organizations in
the United States. Then he took
small red fountain pen out Of
his pocket - it was Mrs. Mac
Arthur's pen-and finished signing
the document.
When the signing was attended to
and the Japs had been shown back
to their special boat for the return
to the mainland, stunning flight
of American war planes Numbered
overhead. The senior officers fol-
lowed Macarthur to Halsey's
quarters on the gigantic battle
wagon and tough old Bill served
us coffee and doughnuts.
Ship Survives
On the trip back to the mainland
from the Missouri, on the same de-
stroyer which brought us to the
historic scene of capitulation,
spent some time on the bridge with
the skipper. 1 asked him if the
destroyer Wainwrigft-named for
my grandfather and my uncle
had survived the war, and it was
pleasing to hear that it had.
The U. S. S. Wainwright was
named for Jonathan M. VAIN
wright, my grandfather, member
of the first class to graduate from
the Naval Academy in the 1905.
He was killed on January l, 1863,
while commanding the U.S.S. Har-
riet Lane at Galveston Harbor. MY
uncle, Jonothan M. Wainwright, jr.,
was killed in 1871 off the west coast
of Mexico near Mazatlan in an en-
gagement with pirate vessel. He
was then an ensign aboard the
U.S.S. Mohican.
But by 1871, my father, Robert
P. P. Wainwright, had entered
West Point. My own Army service
has extended beyond 100 consecu-
tive years the services of a Vain
wright to the United States, and
it was this thought, and thoughts
OF my son, Jonathan M, Vain
wright V, commander in the Mer-
chant Marine, that l went below
decks of the destroyer to the cabin
set aside for MacArthur's use.
I had learned that my son was
in San Francisco, but ready to sail
on an extended trip through the
Orient. I missed him very badly
and told Macarthur.
II don't doubt it, Jonathan" he
said. Wouldn't you like to have
him 60 East with you to be present
in Washington and New York for
your celebration there?"

CHAPTER AZ
THIS is MY STORY

THIS Is MY SXOhY
BY GENERAL JONATHAN M.
WAINWRIGHT

hibited.)
I went to my room in Yoke
hama's Grand Hotel and washed ur
for my reunion with Gen. Mac
Arthur, who was waiting for me
in the dining room. 1t was August
81, 1915. I had not seen him since
March 10, 1912, when he said
goodbye to me on Corregidor.
Then I walked down to the dining
room. And there he was, looking
fine and fit and every inch the
leader he is.
Macarthur got up when he saw
me coming toward him on the cane
he had left me years before. He
reached his arms out, took hold OF
me, cooked his head and looked
me over.
Each of us found it little hard
to speak.
WELL" Douglas said at last,
I'm glad to see you"
And all l could think to say was,
I'm glad to see you"
We sat down and ate, served by
bowling Jap walters. I sketched
briefly the kind of lives we lived
as captives, and he told me of the
difficulties OF getting to where we
sat this night of August 81, 1915.
When it was over / went back
to the lobby, where number of
war correspondents were waiting
for me, and told them how grateful
I was to be on hand for Japan S
surrender.
1--WE been waiting for this great
day for more than three years;
couldn't be happier" I told them.
1 heard from my wife again that
night and wired her back, through
the courtesy of the National
Broadcasting Company, telling her
my schedule and asking her to
meet me in Washington.
I had another news conference
and broadcast the next day, and a
good visit and dinner with Lieut..
Gen. Bob Eichelberger, who COM
manded the first troops to land in
Japan. Newsreels were taken of
me in my room that night, and this
kind of attention made me con-
scious of how much the years of
starvation had turned me into a
plucked chicken.
Sunday, September 2, 1915 CTokyo
Time, was one of the great days
of history, and I am eternally
grateful to Macarthur for seeing
to it that I was a party to the
drama.
Our party stepped aboard trim
destroyer at Yokohama dock at
8 a. m. and were taken out in the
bay to the Missouri, the most
startling weapon of war l have
ever seen. I simply could not be-
lieve that anything could be so
huge. So studded with guns. It's
guns looked like the bristles of a
gigantic hedgehog.
Halsey On Hand
I was struck nnute by the scene
until the destroyer edged along
side the huge battleship and I
heard a familiar voice roar out
from above:
"Hcllo, Skinny!"
I looked up, and peering down at
me was my old friend and former
class1nate at the War College in
Washington, Admiral Bill Halsey.
l had not seen him since he was
commander and ! a lieutenant
colonel in the, early 193Os. got
up to a point where l could touch
the fingers he reached down to me,
and it was thrill to be back with
man who had done so much for
his country.
