The Franco government of Spain is under

only because Hitler and Mussolin used the
Spanish Civil war as training period for
their military forces, in preparation for World

that Spanish elements opposing it lack

Job For Private Citizens

The Army and the Navy made their in
vestigations of the Pearl Harbor disaster and
when their reports were finally made public
important details were stricken out on the
ground that the deleted matter contained in
formation of value to the japanese. Now Con-
gIess proposes to make another investigation
by joint committee, five members from the
Senate and FIVE from the House, with the
total membership consisting of six democrats
and four republicans.
Would the report from thi committee also
be abridged for the same reason? Would the
committee, whose composite view inevitably
would be political, shape its inquiry along
party lines? Would this result in the filing
of both a majority and minority report
as usually happens in congressional invest-
cations and Supreme Court decisions? In
other words would a congressional probe
actually oe worth while, or only an additional
expense to the taxpayers?
If there is to be any further inquiry of
Pearl Harbor, and Admiral Kimmel and Gen.
eral Short certainly deserve to have the truth
revealed, and if any report is liable to con-
tain information the japanese would like to
have while their land is occupied by Allied
troops, it would seem that it should be de.
layed until after the occupation. and be made
by men without military, naval or political
leanings. A committee of private citizens is
hereby recommended.

veterans and their relatives:
@. My husband has been in the
Army four years. He was drafted
out Of college. l want him to go
back and finish with Government
aid but he says we won't get
enough to live on and support our
three children. Won't we get an
allotment for him to 60 to school
a. least as much as we have been
gett ng while he was in service?
A. No. The maximum you will
get is SIS according to the present
law. There are several bills pend
ing in Congress, however, which
may provide more for living ex-
penses.
@. They tell me that the Gov

however. Where can l get all the
available information?
A. Write to the United States
Civil Service Commission, Wash.
ington Is, D. c. State your prob
lem and they will give you all
the necessary information.
@. Was a serviceman required
to file a Federal income tax re-
turn for 1914?
A. II he had a gross income of
$500 or more for 1914. he should
have filed a return regardless of
whether he was single or married,
a minor or an adult. In computing
gross income, he may disregard
tax-exempt receipts.
@. Is the amount paid to the
beneficiary of a deceased officer
or enlisted man representing six
months gratuity pay, taxable in
come to the beneficiary?
A. No. This amount represents
a gift by the United States ana

TOTO Sought Immortal Place In Japan
History Through Medium OF Gun Slug
BY JAMES D. WHITE
Associated Press Staff Writer


SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. II - R
-Hideko TOTO pointed a pistol at
his heart, but he was aiming at
history too.
He wants what he thinks is his
rightful place in it and that is
not the forgotten grave of a war
criminal.
TOTO is many things, but he is
also vain. AS American plasma
kept him alive today he told some
one that he shot himself near the
heart because he didn't want to
mess up his head.
TOTO coordinated - if he did not
actually plan the start of the war.
He had such resounding success
that all Japanese acclaimed him a
hero.
One Of the strange things about
JAIL today is the way many JAP
anese who are in contact with
American correspondents voluntar-
lily name TOTO - this man who
carried them to their greatest
heights as their No. W r
criminal. The main reason, they
say, is that he had not - until
today-committed suicide to atone
for the disgrace he had brought
upon the empire.
This is only human, OF course,
but it smells like the same snivell-
ing we hear from Germans who
blame everything on the Nazi
party.
It is not necessary to feel sorry
for TOTO realize that he is not
alone to blame. Indeed, he seems
to have been trying to escape sole
responsibility from the first. He did
not relish the hero act, even when
the conquest he directed engulfed
half a world. Il am the blade and
the eyes of the weapon used in this
struggle" he once said. limiting
that there was an arm that WELD
ee. the blade.
This column has suggested be-
fore that certain Japanese groups
seem to be working methodically
to shift as much war guilt as pos
sible on the military class who did
the fighting for them. The TOTO
business tends to support that
suspicion.
Certainly the military are guilty.
but they could not have accumr-
lated their guilt without the support
of other Japanese. The extreme
measures they have taken in the
past have embarrassed the throne
and the big business interests in
Tokyo but these same banks and
firms Gotten with Imperial house
hold capital behind them) have fol-
lowed closely in Japan's march of
conquest.
TOTO gained his reputation as
keen-minded, efficient administra.
tor when he bossed the Kwantun
army in Manchuria. developed its
alr-tight police system with brutal
gendarmes, and got rich manipu-
lating the opium suppression" bu-
reau which in reality developed
the narcotic trade and made it
pay. The Japanese called him
"Old Razor Brain
But the Kwantung army many
times got Tokyo into hot water by
acting independently. Japanese
conservatives hated it for its lack
of finesse, not because it succeed
ed in doing things.
When TOTO was chosen Premier
in October, 194l, no one was able
to explain clearly why a Kwan-
tung army man was named to be-
gin Japan's greatest gamble in
war-making.
But when the gamble failed, an
other Kwantung army man, Cen
eral Yoshijiro Umetsu, was chosen
The Wilmington morning star., 1945-09-12

government could be disposed Of without lost
time. It consists IN refusing to permit trade
between them and Spain. And not only in cut
ting trade lines but in informing the Spanish
people why it is done.
We are convinced that il this were done
the antl-dictator elements in the Spanish pop
ulation, at home and abroad. would quickly
acquire the strength to depose the despot and
choose the form of government the majority
wishes to adopt.

TOTO Shoots Himself

Hideki TOTO. the Japanese general who as
premier ordered the sneak attack on Pearl
harbor, shot himself shortly after hearing that
General Macarthur had ordered his arrest.
In discussing war in general before this
Second World War was started, he is reported
te have told his interviewer that Japan could
lose fifteen million men and still 60 on fight
ing
Now there may be one of tn. fifteen million
less to deal with.
The Wilmington morning star., 1945-09-12

to sign the surrender. Whether by
design or not, this puts the mill
tary extremists squarely behind
the eight ball when heads start
falling.
So when TOTO pulled the trigger
he may have been shooting at a
place in Japanese history which
he, saw threatened if he lived to
be convicted as a war criminal.
''Banzai the Emperor" he wrote
in what he thought was his last
word to Japanese posterity.

of dollars through lend-lease for
them, but il was not done to
substitute Stain for Hitler as
the master Of Europe.
Molotov is reported to have
said regarding the Stettinius
craftsmanship:
81 appreciate the information
on diplomatic norms bat the
faets Of the war should not be

war is making four poTsrs."
But the United States did not
60 to war to establish four pow
ers. 1t did not 60 to war except
to establish the right of each
country to a government of its
own choosing.
That is in the Atlantic Char
ter-the only statement to date

might read that and know the
temper of the American people.
Detroit evening times., 1945-05-02

I THINK Americans would like
Il to know who threw God out
of the San Francisco conference.
God and Poland are apparently
among the absentees.
Meetings held on American
soil are usually opened by prayer
to God.
Every session of both houses
OF our Congress is opened by
prayer.
Every session Of every conven-
ton of decent Americans is
opened by prayer. But San Fran
cisco set new standard. The
word God" was unmentionable
on the opening day in San Fran
cisco.
His guidance was unrequested
because, apparently, it was not
needed. Maybe, some hoped that
he might be always absent.
IT HAS been said that as too
Il many religions were repre-
Sented, il was impossible to pray
at all. Or some might say that
as the Marxists reject all reli-
gion as opium for the masses,
they could not be offended by
bringing into the conference hall
the spirit of God.
As to the first objection, If the
presidium can preside in rota-
ton, the various religions of God
might pray in rotation.
II might be done by seniority
the Jews, the Catholics, the
Mohanmedans, the Protestants,
with the Buddhists and others
coming In chronologically. for
they all believe in God no mat.
ter how varied are their appeals
TO His mercy.
And IL they cannot pray in
peace to Him, how can they
make a peace without Him in
their hearts?
AS for the Marxists, they rep
resent the intellectual and spir-
itual poison of our age and the
less we compromise with them,
the less we shall sink into the
slough Of despond.
A PPARENTLY, as Bert An
"A drews of the New York
Herald Tribune put it:
Tho Russian representatives
have thrown road blocks onto
almost every path explored by
the delegates In their efforts to
get the -. conference formally
established"
They are throwing their
weight around: they are indi-
eating that unless they are al
lotted three votes-which Mr..
Molotov said is his minimum
and unless the Russian conquest
of Poland Is accepted, they will
show the American so-and-so's s
where they get off.
This is neat bit of political
blackmail that SOM e tim s
works, and has worked in
American-Russian relations up
to-date.
DUT Molotov ought to be told
ID that the American people
are getting very tired OF Rus
sian manners and Russian de-
mands. We have put up billions
