The daily monitor leader., 1945-11-06

This L. every girls dream, l
thought, to be whistled at by ten
city blocks worth Of American
manhood. I couldn't light my
cigarets. My feet slid out from
under me. There were 80 many
voices and faces that I couldn't
see them all.
Imagine, after nearly four
years Of working in offices with
women, going to lunch and din
ner with women, riding on buses
and street cars operated by wo-
men, to suddenly be alone on the
Hudson River with the best of
American manpower In = Mardi
Gras mood. 1t Is really too much.
I shall never be able to settle
down to q few whistles on the
street. Life will indeed be dull.
John Joraensen. q Norwegian
Of Brooklyn descent, was ap-
parcntly aware of this spotlight
in my life, for after towing the
stern into line with the dock,
he brought the tug right around
the side, and pushed the giant
steamer flush against the dock.
This time I whistled right back,
for after oil ! had. come out to
greet the boys.

Russ,A's INTEREST IN JAPAN

offors Nor can there be any question as to this SIT
uoton hovino been aggravated greatly OF Iote by
the Sovets nsstent proposal. if not denond. thot
iont Allied commission be created to control JoPon
The foct that American reaction hos been en-
ohoticolv unfovorobe TO Russion suggestions con-
cernino the Jops difficult to understand and IS
bosed essentially on two counts One is the justified
feeino that the United Stotes by reason OF socrtIces
and contributions to victory in the Poot'o, has earn
ed the dominant position The other is the suspicion
that if Russia is allowed to move into japan, it won't
be Iono before the Soviet is trying to run the whole
show Certainly there has been nothing joint about
Moscow controls in other thot have fallen into
the hands Of the Russions.
Therefore it borders upon the impossible tor
Americans to consider without prejudice the proposal
Of Joint control for Jopon Nor does this suggest that
the United Stotes should ogree to any arrangement
which might subordinate the American position in
japan to that Of any nation group Of notions.
But, at the same time, the American people
should not blind themselves to the realization thot
Russio does have vito interests in what may be done
in and with Japan. As glance ot the geography
will reveal. the four mojo islands which comprise
postwor Japan stretch along hundreds Of miles Of
the coost Of Russian Sibero. In hands unfrendy to
Russio those islands would be constont menace to
avenues Of SEQ commerce through the Siberon ports
which iee-free during extended periods each year.
When one considers the development. already begun
which is inevitably for vost Sberio oppreci-
ote Russos anxiety to insure the sofety Of seoports
serving that huge frontier.
Nor can anyone deny the danger the Jop islands,
in unfriendy hands, would represent sprineboords
for ottock upon Asotc Russio Neither is it unreo-
sonobe that Russo might view with suspicion the re-
peoted assurances that we have territorial onbi-
tons. History is filled with the broken promises Of
nations though Uncle Soms record in thot
gard is clear.
Perhaps it would be eosier to erosp the Russon
viewpoint il we could imagine the japanese islands
strung along own coostne within distances os
close os 100 miles. In such cose we probably would
insist on nothing less than hand in their control.
This. emphoticoIy, does not argue thot Uncle
Sam should oeree to anything that might jeopordize
his dominant position in Japan, But clearly Russia
does have interest in the islands which must be
recognized - which conrot be ignored without don-
ser to the friendly relationship between the worlds
most powerful nations Of history.
