Await Jap Reaction
To Occupation

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 gagged.
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 a 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 brigades Ga brigade
is roughly half division). On Kyu-
shu IA divisions and z brigades.
It is estimated that we would have
100000 men in the islands by the
middle Of September. That is
against Japanese army (not count
ing the sailors, airmen and others)
of well 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. It has been estimated
that to police Germany, Japan
and Korea and perhaps parts Of
China will take 1000, 900 men.
Dickenson County herald. [volume] (Clintwood, Va.) 1939-195?, 1945-09-27

And some day sonny and daddy
and lover will come back. And
they'll join a veterans organization
and they will vote at the polls; ah.
there's the rub!
Now we come to the third point
which is really the most insidious,
the one which has to be handled the
most delicately. We may have
learned in this country that an
ocean is no longer barrier against
the enemy. But we know there is
another barrier which separates our
maritime states from the heartland
OF. the nation bordering the Missis.
sippi flood plain. That part Of the
country forgot its so-called isola-
tioniSm and threw it's whole heart
into the war. But the war is over -
on paper anyhow. It is time to put
the hand back to the plough again.
There is need of stout arms and
strong backs in the fields, and
though Japs and the Germans may
require watching, why not let
George do it?
That is a natural feeling and
clever politicians would have little
trouble in turning it to account, by
raising the cry of militarism, of i'm
perialism and all the other isms
which men whose barns are their
castles and whose meadows are
their empires, dislike. Such a senti-
ment could be turned against one
administration as well as another
but it SO happens that the mid.
die west is naturally somewhat Re.
publican in its leanings normally
and the Democrats are now in the
saddle.
One very keen political observer
who has watched the way of the
voter for many years said to me the
other day: IF there were Presi.
dental election tomorrow Truman
would win it." And when you con.
slider the matter coldly there are
good reasons for the statement. The
Republicans have had one healthy
issue after another knocked out
from under them. Truman has Civ.
en- business its head, he has sat on
the OPA, he has released one con.
troll after another, he has most soil.
citously deferred to congress, he is
on the way to break up the war
agencies and get the business of
government back into the old line
departments.
Such is the picture as of today
all clear except for one little cloud
in the sky, not much bigger than a
serviceman's hand, but there is
thunder and lightning in that cloud
and if the circumstances were such
that it's bolts Of wrath were directed
at the administration it would not
even take, say a Stassen, to win
the Presidential race on walk.
According to YANK, the army
magazine, Jap chow is worse than
that served in American outfits
where the cooks are recruited from
the motor pool.

NetUs ANALYST and Commentator.

Where will they come from?
Where will 100000 come from for
that matter? Already sharp re-
version against military service has
begun and if it follows the curve
after the last war recruitment on
basis Of voluntary enlistment is
hopeless. At its low point the army
after World War I numbered $780,
900 men. I well recall the story of
one Of my officer friends whose regi-
ment, stationed in the middle west,
dropped so low that men themselves
voted to spend their post exchange
funds for a recruiting campaign.
With band and company he
paraded the countryside for week.
He got just three recruits and two
Of those were rejected as physically
unfit.
AS one officer remarked bitterly to
me: "How are you going to get
man to join the army for $21
month (the basic peacetime pay)
when Uncle Sam will pay him $25
a week for not working at all?" Gle
referred to the unemployment COM
pensation called for in pending legis-
lation.)
That's the position the administra-
ton is in when the cry to end the
draft arises.

WNU Service, 1916 Eye Street NV,

WdSuzASt Ou, Ne W
One of the administration hottest
political potatoes is 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, 1948.
The problem has many facets but
it 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 Disseminated soldiers
and their families appearing in ra-
dio, congressional, national commit
tee and other Washington fan mail.
