Militorism Exposed
From the Salina Journal.


One reason no war has successfully
ended all wars is that the political
Vaccinations behind the backs of the
lesser people of great nations has re-
mained the knowledge of a few. At
Nuremberg today. and later in Japan,
the chiefs of nation responsible for
instigating war are being tried for
their crimes against civilization.
1t is as much the purpose of these
trials to expose militarism as it is to
punish the guilty. And this the testi-
mony covering the Scheming inside Ger
many and in international politics can
do. The lesser people of the world
stand to learn that racial hatreds.
terrorism and other cruelties against
them are merely the tools of scheming
minds moved by lust for power.
Any critical examination of these
plottings by the victims-rather than
the testimony of the victims-should
be convincing proof that a few men
seek to use the lives and suffering of
the masses for their own glorifcation.
Such knowledge can do more than
anything else to cause militarism, as
it has been practiced through the GEN.
turies, to lose favor and to be forever
rejected.

to bear on the electorate Senator
Guf1ey, however, defeated strong can
didates in his two tries for the Senate
and he may be a tough customer in
1916, if he chooses to run again. He
defeated Senator Dave" Reed in 1884
and Jay Cooke in 1910. The last, by
the way, Is mentioned as a possible
Republican nominee for Governor Mr.
Cooke served as colonel in the Army
during the recent war and was wounded
badly.
Mr.. Guffeys probable antagonist, If
he decides to run for the Senate again,
is Gov. Martin, who has given the
State a good administration Under
State law, he cannot succeed himself as
Governor and Republicans generally
are insisting that Gov. Martin make a
bid for the Senate Former Senator
James j. Davis might like another try
for the Senate, but there seems little
doubt Gov. Martin would sweep the
Republican senatorial primary if he is
a candidate.

There are nine congressional dis
tricts in Pennsylvania, which the Re-
publicans lost to the Democrats by less
than 10 per cent of the vote in 1914
1t is in those districts the COP hopes
to make its gains in the coming elec-
ton. The 9Th district was lost by less
than l per cent-a Philadelphia district
and the 11th, in Luzerne County, by
less than per cent. The 5th and
23d districts were lost by less than 5
per cent. the 10th and 18th by less
than per cent, the goth by less than
per cent, the Sd by less than 9 per
cent, and 9th by less than 10 per cent.
The Republicans took back the State
government from the Democrats in the
1888 elections-after four years of Gov.
Earle. They have held on to the State
government ever since. despite the fact
that Pennsylvania went in 1910 and
1914 for Roosevelt. At present, the Re-
publicans, in addition to having the
State government, hold l8 seats in the
House to Is for the Democrats. The
late President Roosevelt, with his huge
following in the ranks of labor, ws>
able to brush aside Republican oppo-
sition in 1886, 1910 and 1914. He failed
to carry the State in 1882 against for
mer President Hoover-but that was
before the New Deal" had blossomed.

To the Editor Of The Star
/ have read with interest the proposal
of Edmund j. Flynn that certain apart
ment buildings in this area be sold to
World War veterans Government work
ers and other low-salaried people in
urgent need of homes.
AS the satisfied resident-owner of
cooperative apartment for more than
is years, heartily indorse Mr. F1ynn's
proposition. and I agree with him that
these properties should be available for
sale to veterans, Government employees
and other individuals rather than to
private investors.
urge all Government employees and
veterans organizations whose members
are in dire need of housing at cost
commensurate with their salaries to get
behind Mr.. Flynn and request the
Defense Housing Corporation to supply
him with sufficient information to en-
able him to outline his plan of CO.
operative ownership to these organiza-
tions. At the same time the organiza-
tions and individuals concerned should
demand that the sale of these apart
ment buildings be withheld until the
general public is advised of the situa-
ton. with regard to the proposed sale
of the apartments.
FEDERAL EMPLOYE.

Executive Pardon

Acting under his constitutional
prerogative but with the counsel and
advice of the Attorney General,
President Truman on Christmas eve
granted full pardon to an undeter-
mined number of persons who, by
serving honorably in the armed
forces of the Nation during the Sec
ond World War, had earned the
restoration of civil rights Cancelled
because of violation of Federal laws.
The individuals thus re-endowed
with citizenship already were at
liberty, had worn the uniforms of
their country with credit and in
every other respect were judged to
have demonstrated their fitness to
resume their normal status in So
ciety. Included among the bene-
ficiaries of executive clemency are
more than two thousand soldiers
who were paroled from prison to
defend the freedom they had lost in
time of peace. Many of these men
are known to have distinguished
themselves in battle. Some of them
wear medals attesting their valor as
we'll as their good conduct.
Mr.. Truman had ample precedent
for his procedure. He exercised a
power dating from remote antiquity
"a natural concomitant of the
power to punish implicit in SOW
ereignty. The persons pardoned had
redeemed themselves, and the vast
majority of them surely will merit
all the remainder of their lives the
recognition of their service which
they have received. Once again in
this specific connection, good comes
out of evil. The war was horrible
experience, but it challenged hu-
manity to prove its right to survive
in terms of worthy behavior-and
humanity has not failed.

This Changing World.
By Constantine Bro,On

After the smoke from the publicity
fireworks which surrounded the end Of
the Moscow Conference has vanished,
the stark reality of what has been
achieved will be even clearer to the
American public than 1t Is today. And
1t is doubtful whether the most char
liable analyst can give the American
delegation good mark.
It is true that the Big Three have
once more achieved meeting of the
minds" The skilled Russian negotia-
tors have obtained all the concessions
they desired from their American and
British colleagues and left out of dis
cussion dynamite-laden matters such as
the Iranian and Turkish questions.
But the most qualified observers in
Washington are astounded at the ease
with which Secretary of State Byrnes
compromised on the japanese question,
which from the beginning of the war
to the time of the Potsdam Conference
had been considered of vital Importance
for the future and the security of this
country
In spite of the complicated and OBJ
scure diplomatic language used in the
official communique, 1t is obvious to
those who have analyzed its contents
regarding the new Allied policies in the
Far East that the American supreme
allied commander Is still supreme in
appearance but not in substance. All
his future actions will be subject to the
pleasure of any of the Big Four powers
which obtained the veto power in Jap
anese affairs
Under the. terms of the Potsdam
agreements the Allies had placed in the
hands Of the United States the burden
of responsibility for disarming the Jap
anese forces, making the necessary
changes to destroy the war potential
and war spirit of the japanese and at
tempting to create situation whereby
that country could eventually become
a useful member of the family of ma
tions again.
President Truman accepted this re-
sponsibility. He suggested the name of
Gen. Douglas Macarthur as the su-
preme commander in that territory, with
ample powers, subject to directives from
Washington, to fulfill what appeared
then to be dangerous and difficult
task. Premier Stain and Prime Min
lister Attlee Endorsed this selection with
fattering words of appreciation for the
ability and efficiency Of President Tru-
mans appointee.
To everybody's surprise, the Russians
went back on their Potsdam agreement
when the foreign ministers of the Big
Five met In London. They demanded

discharge buttons in their lapels are
joining the ranks of the hopeful
civilians who trudge from counter
to counter and dare the you-should-
know-better-than to ask reactions
of irked Salespersons behind empty
shirt counters. And tempers are
just as short in the shorts depart
ments. 1t is unthinkable that this
sort of thing should 60 on indefi-
nitely. 1t is to be hoped that the
Government, the shirt manufac-
turers or somebody will find way
soon to restore shirts to the market
and thereby restore the peace of
mind, neat appearance and dignity
of thousands of harassed men. In
other words; have we won this war
only to lose our shirts?

New Veterans Center

Engineer Commissioner Gordon R.
Young's personal interest and his
intelligent leadership are getting
the newly enlarged District Veterans
Information Center off to a flying
start. With more adequate staff,
room enough to take care OF the
increasing number of veterans seek
ing assistance and-most important
of ala definite objective in mind
regarding the type of service to be
given returning veterans, there is no
reason why this Information Center
should not become model.
One sound accomplishment has
been to obtain the services of COM
petent representatives, on the scene,
of some of the agencies equipped to
deal with veterans needs-such as
the United States Employment Serv-
ice, the Red Cross, the Civil Service
Commission and Veterans Admin
istration. The effort now being made
is to prevent any excuse for sending
a veteran traipsing around town
from one Office to another, trying to
find the source of the information
to which he has been directed. The
fine spirit shown by the Information
Center personnel promises to confins
the veterans search for information
to "one stop" at the center.
Experience in finding out what
most of the veterans need and per-
lection of the machinery set up at
the Information Center will doubt
less reveal the specific nature Of
assistance best obtainable from
community, not governmental,
agencies. The center should become
the source of information as to
where assistance is most available
and the co-ordinating agency, as
well, of the community's facilities
In assisting the returned soldier to
readjust himself to civilian life.
1t is most gratifying to note the
positive direction given this program
by the Engineer Commissioner. He
will find a willing response from
citizens of the community in making
it effective.

World Ideas Prevail
By Maj. George Fielding Eliot

It was inevitable that the Moscow
agreement for control commission for
Japan should have resulted in criticism
in this country.
Isn't Gen. Macarthur doing a good
Job in Japan? it is being asked. The
answer certainly is yes. Then why put
a lot of politicians over him? And es-
pecially, why let the Russians horn in
with their veto? We conquered Japan,
didn't we? Then let's run it ourselves.
Thus, the general line of criticism goes.
There will be, in particular, unfavor-
able comparisons between the four
power control of Germany and the Mac
Arthur regime in Japan. There's no
doubt at all that Gen. Macarthur has
done better job in Japan than the
Allied Control Commission has done in
Germany. First of all, that Is because
Gen. Macarthur is himself man Of
great capability-of genius If you like,
and he knows the Far East thoroughly.
But the principal reason why he has
done such a good job in Japan is be-
cause he has had full authority over the
whole country. Moreover, he has not
had to create a government and an
administrative machinery, national and
local; he just took over the japanese
government, lock, stock and barrel, and
put it to work to carry out his orders.
Apparently this machinery is not to
be disturbed. What now is proposed is
that hereafter Gen. MacArthur'S direc-
tives shall come not from Washington
alone but from four-power commission
in which each one of the four powers
commemorative United States, China,
Russia and the British Commonwealth
will have the right to veto any proposed
measure.

But why do this when a good all
round job is already being done by
Gen. Macarthur? A job which is work.
ing out to the benefit of all peace-loving
peoples and which, If continued along
present lines, will remove Japan as a
menace to the peace of the Pacific
and of the world for good many years
to come?
The answer is that peace and security
are indivisible

tries In which we are not interested

Shirt Shortage

The Office of Price Administra-
TONS decision to postpone imposi-
ton of new price ceilings and sale
regulations covering mems shirts,
shorts and paiamas will come as no
surprise to the horde of haggard and
disheveled gentlemen who have been
tramping their weary way from
haberdashery to haberdashery in
vain quest of such merchandise.
Imposing price ceilings and sale reg
ulations on shirts. shorts and paja-
mas when there are no shirts, shorts
and pajamas-at least of the kind
and quality that graced the average
prewar male torSo-would seem to
be a somewhat futile gesture. But
that is not what caused the OPA to
hold matters up. The official an
nouncement said the OPA wanted to
afford the manufacturers more time
to study the new price schedules and
regulations. Apparently the new
ceiling and rules will go into effect,
shirts or no shirts, on January 20.
The new regulations not only set
price ceilings but prohibit the sale
or delivery of so much as a single
shirt until certain price reports have
been filed with and acknowledged
by OPA-and thereby hangs tale.
It is sad tale, say the shirt, short
and sleeping suit manufacturers, a
tale of too much Government inter-
ference, too many regulations, too
little inducement to respond to the
anxious pleas of shirt-depleted deal
ers and customers. The National
Association of Shirt and Pajamas
Manufacturers charges that regula-
tions issued by various Government
agencies "are hampering rather
than aiding production" The asso-
| ciation declares that reconversion is
proceeding SO slowly that the war
born shirt shortage is likely to con-
tinue for another six months, at
least. Meanwhile, as rehabilitation
of the armed forces proceeds apace,

The Political Mill
By Gould Lincoln

Pennsylvania, the Keystone State, is
one of the main fields in which the
Republicans must be victorious in 1916,
If they are to win majority of the next
House of Representatives and add to
their strength in the Senate. If the
Republicans can pick up a half dozen
House seats there, they are almost
sure to control that body in the Eightieth
Congress.
Outside of this struggle for House
tions will center largely in the sena-
torial race Senator Joe" Guffey, who
came into Office in 1884, along with
former Gov. George H. Earle-the only
Democrat to be elected Governor of
Pennsylvania in half a century-is up
for denomination and reelection. Mr..
Guffey has declined to say whether he
will be a candidate, remarking that on
February 8, the day for filing, he will
disclose his plans. 1t is generally ex-
pected. however, that Senator Guffey
will either seek reelection or will try
for the gubernatorial nomination.
Senator Guffey was an original Roose-
velt man and he stuck to the late Presi-
dent like burr, supporting all of the
Roosevelt policies and taking lead in
the third and fourth term drafts" of
the Chief Executive He has been 100
per cent New Dealer and still is. He
led the fight in Chicago in 1914 for the
denomination of Henry Wallace for Vice
President, Notwithstanding the fact the
presidential blessing had been given to
Harry Truman of Missouri Now Mr..
Guffey is predicting the denomination
and reelection of President Truman.
On one occasion in the last decade,
Mr. Guffey broke severely with David L.
Lawrence, Democratic State chairman
and powerful leader of his party. But
they buried the hatchet finally, and
he had Lawrence's support when he
ran for reelection to the Senate, and
will have it again. Lawrence was elect
ed Mayor of Pittsburgh last November,
and his successor as Democratic State
chairman is ]. Warren Mickle.
Mr. Mickle has a real job on his
hands. While Pennsylvania has two
Democratic Senators, Guffey and Myers,
both ran successfully on the ticket with
President Roosevelt in 1910 and 1914,
respectively, and that is happy COM
bination that can no longer be brought
