100000 Killed

PRELIMINARY estimates are
that 14.OO0,OOO persons killed
in battle or died from other causes
in the great war that has come
to an end in Europe. In addition,
100000 persons were perma-
nently incapacitated.
This total does not include civil
ian casualties, either from direct
on indirect war causes. 1t does
not count civilians killed by bombs
or the number dead from starva-
ton, malnutrition or war diseases,
In addition to those killed and
permanently injured, it is esti-
mated that 100000 men were
wounded but returned to duty and
that some 100000 were cap
tured.
The figures given may prove to
be too high when final estimates
are available, but the total, when
known, will indicate that the war
in Europe has been one of the
bloodiest in history.

Rebuking Critics

HIGH RANKING officials of the
Navy, taking cognizance of
some home-front criticism of the.
Army's role on Okinawa, are en-
phatic in denying that the Army
bungled the ground campaign and
Vice-Admiral Richard Kelly Tur-
ner, who was the commander of
cur amphibious forces at Okinawa,
says that so far. as he is concerned,
there was no difference between
Army, Navy and Marines out
where the fighting took place.
Secretary of the Navy Forrestal
challenged the critics who at
tempted to blame the Army COM
mand, saying that it is "easy to
make after-the-fact conclusions"
but the fact remains that we are
winning on Okinawa and that
more than $1,000 Japanese have
been killed on the island.

Unfortunate

ROSCOE S. CONKLIN, former
Lieutenant Colonel in the
Array, is fighting the proposed
compulsory military training of
the youth of this country in time
of peace, but he performs no ma
tional service by telling a congress
sional committee that it "can only
mean preparation for war with
Russia"
There should be general agree
ment with the comment of Secre-
tary of War Henry l.. Stimson
that he could not quite conceive
that any officer of the United
States Army would be so deficient
in judgment" as to say we wanted
to fight Russia.
Considering the delicate state of
affairs between the Western De-
mocracies and the Russians, who
are somewhat suspicious of Anglo
American motives, the statement
is unfortunate, to say the least.

Pay-Cut

Last year at this time / enjoyed
the acquaintance of a business man
whose salary was $50, 900 year. I
looked upon him with a great deal
Of admiration and respect for sew
eral reasons. He earned what he
has with hard work and know-how.
His employees, numbering above
ten thousand, call him Uncle Frank
He lives in small town and helps
a lot of people in quiet way.
Last week somebody showed me
a page Of a pocket-size magazine
published for the employees of his
company and l read with grave in
terest that his pay had been cut.
That was news by anybody's stand
ard; most people are getting raises
in pay these days. What's more,
this mans pay-cut is big. 1t amounts
to more in year than most men
manage 10 accumulate in a whole
lifetime.

Two-Thirds American

OF THE ninety-two divisions in
the Allied Expeditionary Forces,
operating in Western Europe,
sixty were American, fourteen
British, five Canadian, seven
French and one Polish.
These figures reveal that Amer,
lean troops. made up almost two
thirds of the army which tumhled
the NaSis. Similar figures for the
aerial forces /, engaged are not
available, and it is not yet possible
to assess the naval contribution
made by the various powers.
1t was entirely logical that an
American officer should have SUI
preme command of this force. In
the selection of General Eisen-
hover, the United States presented
the world with. General whose
capacity, as military leader and
a diplomat, is not yet thoroughly
appreciated, even in his own coun-
try.

Plan Just and Speedy
Trials for Ndzi Bigwiqs
Allied Commission to Handle Cases of High
Leaders; Local Officials to Prosecute
Minor Offenders.
BY BAUKHAGE
Neps analyst and Commentator,

interpret it Informally hereunder:
% We shall avoid 1.-The laws de-
lay which so annoyed Hamlet.
My reason for this assumption is
the fact that Justice Jackson did
not retire from the Supreme court.
The fall term Of the court begins in
October. Already he has made one
trip to Europe for the purpose of
rounding up key Witnesses and doc
uments and is now beginning final
preparation for the prosecution. His
staff has been assembled for several
weeks and he has coordinated the
other government agencies interest
ed in war crimes (war department,
navy department, Office of Strate-
gic Services, and others). Authority
for this action is vested in Execu-
tive Order 9547 of May 2, 1945, which
named Justice Jackson as Amer
lean prosecutor
Jackson himself said when he was
appointed: There will be no delay
on the part of the United States, and
we think undue delay is itself a fail
ure."
90 There is no confusion to
United States policy with respect to
the type of offender to be tried. Many
individual cases have already been
prepared, though not yet announced.
AS l mentioned earlier, what the
United States is concerned with is
the big shots, that is Jackson's job
to try the men whose offenses are
broader than those committed in and
against members of any single
community. To PIT it broadly, those
charged with crimes against human
ity as whole.
This rules out the persons brought
back to the scene Of their crimes,
the trials of spies and saboteurs
which are coming up daily. offenses
against American nationals or
against Germans. or individual acts
OF persecution against Jews or 9TH
ers.
In other words, Jackson is after
big game and he will not be content
to fiddle with minor offenses even If
committed by major criminals. His
job will be to nail those leaders who
are responsible for engineering the
whole general criminality of the
Nazi-Fascist program. The smaller
fry will be taken care of by other
legal authorities at the scene of the
individual crimes or elsewhere.

Legal Body
Without Precedent

Never in history has such a legal
body been convened. Never has such
a task as the one it has before it
been Of such potential significance to
the social and political well-being of
the peoples of the earth-never, at
least, since the day of certain Ro-
man procurator of Judea in Pales-
tine. Pontius PLATE was unable to
face his responsibility. and finding
that he could prevail nothing, but
rather that a tumult was made, he
took water, and washed his
hands. :"
The United States does not intend
to wash its hands of the responsible
ity before it.
There seems TO be weller of con-
fusion as to just what the function
Of this military tribunal is; as to
just what, if any, policy has been
established by the 'Office of the
Chief Counsel for the Prosecution Of

A Drive For Oil

INVASION of the Island of
Tarakan, off Borneo, on May
LIST, by Australian troops and a
contingent of Dutch soldiers, is
designed to recapture a source of
oil that is of such superior quality
that it can be pumped, ready to
burn, directly into ships tanks.
Since the fuel now being used in
the Far East must be brought
thousands of miles from the
United States or the Near East
and rehandled many times, there
is obvious advantage in the seiz-
ure of Tarakan wells which, it is
estimated, will supply about ten
per cent of the oil we need to
carry on the war against Japan.

New Jap Plane

FROM THE fighting zones of the
Far East, American pilots re-
turning from attacks against
Kyushu, one of the home islands
of Japan, report encountering ex-
pert Japanese pilots flying new
fighter planes that outperform
the U. S. Corsair.
This indicates that the enemy
has been able to produce better
plane and to change aerial tactics
despite the loss of more than 5000
planes since the beginning of the
Okinawa attack.
American commanders agree
that the new type of Japanese
planes "give excellent performance
and higher speed" and that enemy
pilots are first line" and pretty
sharp"

The Series E bonds offer attrac-
tive investment to persons of linn
tied incomes. They are redeem
able for their full face value, plus
some earned interest, according to-
schedule printed on the bonds, at
any time. No investor in an
E-bond will ever lose any part OF
his principal, because the bonds do
not fluctuate on the market.
There seems to be some difficulty
in persuading thousands of indi-
viduals in the lower income groups
to buy E bonds. Part of the re-
sponsibility for this lies in the
failure Of solicitors to cover all
members of the groups.
The failure Of solicitor to re-
quest you to buy an E-bond is not
an excuse for your failure to sup
port the Governments war effort,
which means, in essence, to stand
behind your fighting men. through

We Have The Bases, Now

THERE HAS been some discus
sion about the maintenance of
military bases in the Philippines
by the United States after the
islands are given their independ-
ence and some confusion over the
legal status in the Islands.
Judge Charles S. Lovinger, who
sat on the Philippine Judiciary,
points out that the Philippines
have been under American sover-
eighty for nearly half century
and that, the bases are already
acquired" and that the question
involved is now how we shall OBJ
tain bases, but how much, of the
territory. now held by this govern
ment shall be reserved.
President Osmena, of the Philip
pines, recently stated that "details
for military bases now were

being worked out" and he was I'M
able to state whether they would
be acquired by lease or grant.
Of course, the Filipinos will not
lease or grant us any territory.
The thing works the other way.
The United States will cede to the
Philippine Republic such territory
as this nation does not consider
indispensable to its safety and
commitments in the Pacific.

Justice Jackson's reputation and
his record are pretty good guaran-

by any hurdles that International
lawyers might try to put in his
way. But that does not mean he
will railroad" the accused. He will
not let the trials sink below a dig
nified judicial level. They must be,
ne says, trials in fact, not merely
trials in name, to ratify a predeter-
mined result" On the other hand,
he does not believe that every step
must be taken in accordance with
