ARMY PLAYS SAFE IN DISCHARGE OF
 MEN FROM RANKS

WASHINGTON, June 1.-Under Secretary of War Patterson said the soldiers now slated for discharge are all the Army thinks it is safe to re- lease at this time.
 \ Announcing this at a news con- ference, Patterson said it was in answer to proposals to release men over 35 or to discharge those whose skills are especially needed in civ ilian life Chairman May of the House Military Committee recently urged the Army to discharge all sol- diers over 35 except for certain key personnel.
 Patterson said the army does not favor such ideas, asserting that if they were adopted it would either delay release of soldiers entitled to discharge because of long and ard- uous service or would reduce Army strength below the safety margin for the war against Japan. He said the Army had made it's best judgment" of the number of men needed to defeat Japan with the fewest casualties.

"Vic" Samson, halibut allocator for the International Halibut Fish cries Commission, left Juneau south bound this morning aboard the steamer Princess Louise after a week spent in the -Sitka area discussing new regulations with buyers and fishermen.
 Principal change in the allocation order since last season is a pro- vision for setting buying quotas on a coastwise basis rather than con- sidering landings at each port in- dividually as in the past.

The Political Mill
By Gould Lincoln

Too much emphasis in the opinion of
Senator Vandenberg of Michigan-an
American delegate to the coming United
Nations Conference.-The been placed
on the use of force by the international
organization for the maintenance of
peace. He made this point in his ad-
dress to the Senate early this winter
an address which was widely hailed at
the time. More recently in announcing
his acceptance of appointment as
delegate to the conference, Mr.. VAN
denberg again laid stress on the need for
international Justice In my opinion"
he said, mo permanent peace is possible
without a constant, conscious mandate
to seek Justice as basis of peace. 1
shall have concrete proposals to submit
to my colleagues along these lines"
Further, it is necessary to think
clearly. Unless the great powers of the
world really believe in peace and hon.
estly intend to refrain from aggressive
war, there is no chance for peace under
any international organization, however
framed or however voting. Comdr.
Harold E. Stassen, former Governor of
Minnesota, also an American delegate
to the conference, in his recent address
on American world policy, stated the
matter succinctly. IF either the United
States. or Russia, or Great Britain" he
said, decides in the next Is years to
make war, then there will be another
world war and no organization, or
league or union, or treaties will stop it.
But I do not believe any of these coun-
tries will want to make war. Each
knows the horrors of war Each has
SO much to gain by not making war
Each has great future in the peaceful
development of its resources and its
standing in the world"
1t has been urged-With considerable
degree of correctness-that under this
proposed voting procedure for the
Security Council it will be possible for
the council to provide for the use of
force to maintain peace only against
one of the lesser powers. 1t looks like
rank discrimination from that angle
Yet it is true that unwillingness to abide
by peaceful methods in international
disputes, if followed by any of the
smaller nations, might have the result
of plunging the world again into conflict.

And Now Mindunoo

There is no reason to doubt the
Tokyo report of an American land
ing on Mindanao. The entire logic
of the strategic picture in the Phil
ippines dictates our seizure of the
precise spot on Mindanao where our
landing is reported. This is the port
city of Zamboanga, vital link in
the sea lane we have recently opened
from the Pacific through the island
studded Celebes and Sulu Seas to
Manila and the South China Sea
beyond.
Mindanao, the southernmost OF
the Philippine archipelago, is second
in size and Importance only to Luzon
Shaped like feeding turkey gobbler,
the islands western extremity mar
rows to curved tip, Zamboanga
being situated on the beak of the
fancied bird. With its excellent
harbor. 1t commands the narrow
passage between Mindanao and the
chain of smaller islands known as
the Sulu archipelago which extends
almost within sight of another giant
island - Borneo. Westward of the
zamboanga passage lies the Sulu
Sea, inclosed on its farther side by
the long, narrow island of Palawan,
which recently fell into our hands.
The seizure of Zamboanga is the
natural complement to our Palawan
occupation
The taking of Zamboanga does not
necessarily imply an immediate full
scale invasion of Mindanao. Progress
from that isolated extremity to the
interior across rugged country might
be a needleSsly difficult undertaking,
since our command of the local sea
and air enable us to invade any
where at will. The reduction of the
mainland of Mindanao would pre-
Sumably be initiated by a landing at
Davao. the natural gateway to the
interior. The reconquest of Min
danao may be an undertaking almost
as difficult as that of Luzon. The
japanese high command had oc-
cupied the island in force from the
very start and presumably rein
forced its garrison, since Macarthur
was expected by Tokyo to begin his
attack on the Philippines there
rather than on Leyte. The topog-
raphy of the island lends itself to
defense somewhat better than that
of Luzon, and the japanese have had
three years to perfect their installa-
tions. On the other hand, our land
ing forces should have unusually
efficient support from the natives,
the warlike Mohammedan Moros,
who have never been reconciled to
the japanese occupation and have
given their conquerors plenty of
trouble. Meanwhile, the occupation
of zamboanga will give us control of
the sea lanes and will accentuate
the isolation of the Japanese garri-
son until Macarthur is ready to
liquidate them.
Evening star., 1945-03-10

With the recent announcement Of
voting procedure in the proposed Sc
curity Council virtually complete pro-
gram for international organization for
peace has been made ready for con-
sideration at the coming overall con-
ference of the United Nations at San
Francisco April Is. This does not mean
that the plan may not be amended or
added to- But the plan does set forth
the views Of the representatives of the
four great powers who have been al
work upon it-of the United States
Great Britain, Russia and China
The voting procedure now announced
has been variously estimated. 1t has
been called a victory for Stain. 1t has
been attacked as step backWard-re
moving teeth from the proposed pact.
And 1t has been called probably the
best compromise that could be achieved
1t probably was.
Under this procedure any one of the
five major powers-the four already
mentioned and France-which are to
have permanent representation sin the
council has the power to veto the use
of force in any dispute in which it is
involved. 1t has been argued that this
veto power gives liberty to Russia, or
any of the other four major powers, to
conduct aggressive action-possibly lead
ing to war-against . another nation,
presumably a smaller nation. without
the International organizations being
able to exert military pressure to main
tain the peace of the world. There is
corollary. 1t also will make it possible
for one of these nations to veto war.
Furthermore, while it preserves the
right OF Russia to veto war measures,
it also preserves similar right to the
United States, Great Britain, China and
France This should certainly appeal
to those in the United States who still
cling to isolationist sentiments and to
those who do not wish to see this coun-
try drawn into war.
There is another thing it does. 1t
has the effect of laying greater en-
phasis on the peaceful methods by
which the international organization
will operate to settle international dis
putes. These steps are many, including
investigation, conciliation and decisions
by the International Court of Justice
