kangaroos pouch is lined with, whether apes
are right or left-handed, and what young snails
eat.
The answers: kangaroo pouches are lined
with skin; apes are ambidextrous and baby
snails especially enjoy lettuce and fish food.
What the rest of us would like to know is:
When do we get some meat? Maybe the
Bronx ZOO will give the answer, since the

A Needed Act Of Congress

Unless Congress takes extraordinary action
in the weeks intervening before President Tru-
mans departure for the Big Three meeting
at Berlin, the United States government will
be headed by the Secretary of State, for the
first time since william Jennings Bryan was
acting President for day in President Will
sons administration.
AS the Secretary of State is appointed and
not elected by popular VOTE the situation, if
it arises, will be contrary to the intent OF
the Constitution. The democratic formula is
that the Chief Executive shall be chosen by
the people at the polls and In event OF his death
or removal he shall be succeeded by the vice.
president who is also selected by election. AL
though it is provided that in the absence of
of both the Secretary of State becomes act
ing President and after him other Cabinet
officers in order of prominence and impor-
tance this succession is a tacit violation of
the cardinal principal of our democracy.
To avoid this there is growing school OF
thought that Congress should pass an act pro-
viding that one of its members, possibly the
speaker of the House or President protein Of
the Senate, automatically become Vice Pcesi-
dent upon the elevation of that official to the
presidency. By this means the succession
would fall to the lot of an elected person.
Despite its hurry to adjourn and frequent
Lack of a quorum Congress could well afford
to take this action before Mr.. Truman goes
abroad.

Bomb Bath For Japan

General H H. Arnold in his Manila press
conference, declared Japan is in for a bomb
b;th three times as severe as was given
Germany. In 1896 he said, the Allies plan to
hurl 100000 bombs upon Japan, if the war
lasts that long, and as a result Japan will
be obliterated
AS the United States has never failed to
make good any forecast as to what it would
do to overthrow the Pacific enemy, the Tokyo
war-makers must be assured by now that
General Arnold's prophesy will be fulfilled. In
all probability the tonnage he specified will
b. exceeded, even doubled, if that quantity is
required to finish the job we have set our
selves
The question, which the japanese alone can
answer, is whether they are willing to submit
to the wiping out of their Countrywide need
less and useless destruction of all physical
property and the death of countless thousands.
The wiser course, obviously, would be to
quit while enough is left which to build
new nation in peace. But wisdom is not
to be found among fanatics, the strong prob
ability is that Japan will &C On fighting to the
desolate end.
Americans who have been inclined to ease
off a bit since victory in Europe should take
notice that the home job is far from finished.
The intensity of the air campaign heralded
by General Arnold sets the gauge for a l |
branches OF the armed services. Naval and
ground operations will be up to the air level
This inevitably means there can be no ces-
sation of effort on the home front. Aircraft,
ships munitions, supplies in general m L S t
move toward the Orient in increasing, rather
thai diminishing, volume. To do this hard
and faithful service must be rendered here,
and, because material is costly money must
be forthcoming for its purchase.
Instead of allowing war bond sales to lag,
the people have reason to buy more than in
any previous bond campaign.

Women In Industry

A survey made by the women's bureau OF
the United States Department of Labor reveals
that by and large women in industry will not
stop work when the soldiers have come home
from the wars
In Detroit says dispatch from Washington
to the Christian Science Monitor, the bureau
finds that three out of four women workers
plan to continue working after VI Day. In
Erie county, N. Y, which includes Buffalo,
80 per cent of the women now employed hope
TO remain in industry indefinitely. In Buffalo
itself, the survey found, so per cent more
women plan to continue at work than were
employed in 1910, and three times as many
wish to continue in manufacturing as in that
year. In Detroit, 100000 more women will
want postwar jobs than in 1910.
What effect this will have on placing return
ing veterans is not clear, but it is obvious that
lreconversion is achieved.

General Eisenhower is being feted in a

ess of ratification by the Senate
should begin. 1t would be very
awkward indeed for the President
if he found himself Urging Stain
and Churchill to move on in the
peace-making while the Senate
was taking it's time about decid-
ing whether the United States is
actually going to play perma
nent part in the world which the
peace will create. 1 fthe President
is to exert the full influence of the
United States in the conferences
which will now begin to shape the
peace, then the Senate cannot too
promptly and decisively establish
the fact that the United States is
a permanent, not transient, par
ticipant in the councils of the pow
erS
What the President then says the
United States thinks about some
disputed question-say a new from
tier-will be treated as probable
American commitment, either to
support the status quo or to favor
revision, if the territorial settle
ment is challenged later. Under
these conditions it would be i'm
prudent to disregard the Presi-
dents views. They will command
much greater weight than if our
allies have any lingering suspicion
that American interest in these de-
batable questions is transient and
will soon fade out. Our allies
would feel justified, perhaps even
compelled, to ignore our views if
over the long period We were not
taking any continuing responsible
ty for our views.
For the Senate to proceed to
ratify deliberately but Immediate
ly, not hastily but without delay,
will be an immense contribution 10
the exceedingly difficult business
of making peace. On the other
hand, undue delay in the Senate,
malicious obstruction or a filibust-
err, would in the present condition
of the world be disaster. 1t

getting rid of that many mouths to

a critical lack of food.
But the Government was unable
to supply transportation, so refu-

Weimar.
Meanwhile, Capt. Walter F.
Dunn, Jr., of (642 Westchester
Avenue, the Bronx, New York.
American Army administrator of
Wiemar, had been opening up the
Thuringian railway system for
Allied Army use.
One day an empty freight train
pulled into the yards. Before the
authorities were aware Of what was
happening, several dozen, and then
hundreds, of refugees had climbed
aboard and installed themselves.
Singlehanded, Dunn was power
less to clear the train. He tele-
phoned for help. For three days
negotiations went back and forth,
while the boxcar population con-
stantly increased-until 40 cars
were damned with humanity.
Finally, the Army acted. l was

Another week looks like a very
short time in which to complete
in five languages the official text
of the charter. 1t may be that the
work of drafting, that is to say
of putting the agreements and un-
derstandings into the language of
a treaty, has moved faster behind
the scenes than we know. But If
that is not the case, then, as Mr.
Reston, of The New York
Times" reports, some of our top
officials may have not realized
how great are the technical diff
ficulties of drafting a charter even
after there is agreement on what
it should contain
What has been published thus
fer as 1.-The tevt of the charter"
is not in fact a charter. 1t is a
series of agreements and declara-
tons as to what the charter
should say. There are sections
of the published text which
probably can be Incorporated as
they stand in the official treaty.
But in precisely those sections
over which there has been the
most dispute, the language is quite
evidently not the language of
treaty For example, in Chapter
vi dealing with the functions OF
the security council, etc., etc. A
order to insure prompt and effec-
tive action by the organization,
members of the organization
should by the charter confer on
the security countil'' ETC., etc. A
statement about what the mem
bers should by the charter do
about something has still to be
translated into the language of a
charter whereby they actually do
it. That is what is meant by
drafting: let us hope it proves to
be as simple, or that it is as far
advanced. as the President has ap-
parently been led to believe.

doubt that as soon as there is a

world it would certainly precipi-
tate ''unilateral' actions by gov

ton
When the charter is presented to
the Senate, it will, of course, have
to be explained carefully. No one
would wish to see the Senate
stampeded: the value of the char
ter depends entirely on the good
faith and wisdom of the principal
powers, and therefore, a deliber-
ate and solemn ratification by the
Senate means very much.
But on whether to ratify, no
question arises which calls for a
great debate No serious voice has
been raised anywhere objecting to
the charter except on the ground
that the great powers, of which
the United States is one, reserve to
themselves full control not only
over their own military forces, but
over their own diplomatic action.
Men are entitled to argue that this
is vital defect of the charter.
But no one can argue that the
Senate should not ratify the char
ter on this ground-namely, that
it does not commit the United
States to any serious action which
the United States may not wish
to take. 1t would be ludicrous for
the Senate to refuse to participate
in the Security Council because
the United States was retaining,
and not surrendering, its full SOW
erelgn powers.
