Time To Throw In Sponge

While it is probably true that Japan has
made no direct overtures for peace, it is be-
coming apparent feelers have been put out
either by individuals in high position or by
the Tokyo government through concealed
agencies to learn what Japan might hope to
salvage by surrendering now instead Of wait
ing to have her cities and resources destroyed,
as they inevitabley will be if the war goes on.
There is one route japan might follow to
advantage, if it is actually true she wants to
quit. 1t is through her own Moscow embassy
and thence to the conference table of the Big
Three at Potsdam.
Russia is not at war with Japan. Tokyo still
has emissaries in the Russian capital, and be-
cause Russas decision whether to enter the
Pacific war or stay out has not been made
public, it would seem that an offer to lay down
her arms now, made through her Moscow am
bassador, would have the effect of determin.
ing policy.
The problem before Tokyo right now is
whether to save face by continuing the war,
and lose everything else, or discount face-sav-
ing and save what is left of her. physical and
human resources against the day Japan may
be readmitted in good standing to the family
of nations.

Opposites Endorse Charter

Two men, polls apart in thinking and earlier
training, have given the San Francisco Charter
their endorsement.
One is former Senator Robert L. Owen of
Oklahoma in whose veins runs the aboriginal
blood of America Che is part Indian) and who
represented his state in the upper branch of
CONGRESS during the former World War with
distinction.
We read now and then of the native elo-
quence of tribal leaders. It must be true that
they had it for Senator Owen r.valed the early
orators in that legislative body. Friend OF
President Wilson, adherent OF the League OF
Nations, salesman of Americanism When 1t
sorely needed selling, Senator Owen went
down in political defeat when the republicans
swer. the country with Harding as their BAN
nerbearsr.
After quarter century which has levied
heavily upon his physical stamina but has lett
his mental attributes untouched he went be-
fore the Senate Foreign Relations committee
to voice his hope that the committee will take
the Charter
The other man is Norman Thomas, educated
for the ministry but turning from the pulpit to
the political platform, has been the regular
candidate of the Socialist party for the presi.
dency almost time out of mind Although he
finds the Charter not an adequte basis for
lasting peace he urged its ratification be-
cause it may be better than nothing

is d Thomas characteristic, and ne speaks
truly in saying that with all its faults the
Charter sis better than nothing

Wac Commander Resigns

Colonel Oveta Cup Hobby, commander OF
the Women's Army Corps, resigning, says her
war job is done and she feels irnpeued to re-
turn to her peace-time pursuit, as executive
editor of the Houston, Tex, Post, and to aer
home. Mrs Hobby is wife Of William r.
Hobby. former Texas governor, former pub
Usher of the Beaumont Enterprise and present
president and publisher of the Houston Post
in the administration and policy OF which she
took an active part Until President Roosevelt
selected her to organize and energize the Wonn-
ems branch of the United States Army.
Her mantle of authority falls upon the
shoulders of Colonel Westray Battle soyce OF
Rocky Mount, North Carolina who, in her own
words. takes over with great humility. May
her success be as great as Mrs. Hobby's.
While women have always had an important
part in war, this is the first conflict IN which
they have been organized into separate uni
formed ranks for particular services formerly
performed by men who, because OF their as
siqnnents. were not available for combat.
This time, the Wacs the Waves, the Spars
and the wonen's branch of the Marine Corps,
have relieved tens of thousands. of men for
frontline DUTY.
Their performance has been outstanding,
their sacrifices great. 1t is an honor to the Olo
North State that one of its daughters has been

Seem Impossible

1t doesn't sound possible, but we read in
the papers that one official says the reason
soap hasn't been rationed is that nobody has
yet devised a successful ration scheme. Look

existence it would seem that its bright young
men could find scheme to ration anything
How come they slip up on soap?
The same article that admits this adds
housewives may have trouble buying SOAP
Wilmington housewives have already made
this discovery When the report first spread
that soap was scarce there was run on the
city's stores with result that few cakes of the
stuff remain on shelves. And because some
brainy Individual in OPA may yet devise a
scheme for rationing it the hoarders are not

The International Bank

Senator Taft of Ohio, who is usually lag IN
it, whatever 'it'' may be, opens fight on
the international bank proposed under the
FRICTION Woods agreement by claiming that
it will become a device for draining our
savings oft of the United States for the sbene-
tit of the rest of the world
In rebutal, Senator Barley of Kentucky,
majority leader, counters by saying the agree
ment represents "at least fair chance OF
avoiding The kind of mistakes made after the
last World war which led to the depress-
ion of 1929 mo nation he says can pre-
serve prosperity for itself if there is chaos in
the rest of the world
The international bank to which Mr.. Tat
takes exception is part of the program for
postwar world relations. 1t is proposed to fl
nance it with SO, loO 100000 capital of which
amount the United States would subscribe 49,
ITS, 900, 900. Forty-four United Nations repre-
sentatives worked out the formula and SUBJ
scribed to the proposals at Breton Woods, N.
H., last summer. The bank, once set up,
would guarantee loans from private interests
for rehabilitation and economic development
of member nations.
American legislation for participation has
already passed the House, Senate considera-
tion will open next week. Senator Taft, there
fore, jumped the gun with his preliminary at
tack, and announces he will renew the battle
as opportunity offers.
As we see it, Senator Barley has the better
view If impoverished nations are ever to find
their way back to prosperity and lnde-
pendence. after the cruel dissipation OF their
wealth and resources by the German military
machine that rode a bloody path across their
lands and through their streets, they can &c
so only with financial aid from the more 1ortn'

than their own. Loans must be forthcoming
for their rehabilitation, just as food must oe

A Great Example

One of the finest attributes of Judge Kene-
saw Mountain Lands, during the years he
served as ruler Of organized baseball was that
as far as possible he kept out OF the news.
He was car all right, and everybody in the
game knew it. But on no occasion did he rush
into print.
1t was impossible. because of his position. to
prevent all use of his name in the country S
press Decisions he made, controversies he
settled and duly reported in the papers, nee
cessarily required mention of his name. But
shat was all.
