This Changing World
By Constantine Bro,pn

According to reports from the Far
East, Chungking Is being swamped with
Japanese feelers for an immediate peace
with China, to be followed by what the
Japanese call "a limited surrender" to
the other members Of the United Ma
tions with whom Japan is at war.
Peace feelers have been sent from
Tokyo to Chungking at regular in
gestions provided for China's partici-
patton in the Greater East Asia system
under the protecting wing of Japan
These, Generalissimo Chang Kai-shek
refused to consider The present trial
balloons, however, are said to be of a
different character and tend principally
to pave the way for an approach to
the United States and Great Britain
through an official channel, the Chinese
generalissimo.
1t Is beyond doubt that the collapse
of Germany has placed Japan in a
worse predicament than all her own
defeats in the last 18 months. And
while the Japanese fighting men are
even more determined than the Nazis
to die, arms in hand, the government
is anxious to avoid fate similar to
that Of the Reich.
Hence, Premier Suzuki and particu-
lsrly Foreign Minister Togo are indi-
rectly sounding out enemy governments
for some sort Of a surrender formula,
which, while exacting inevitable penal
ties. may leave some hope for future
recovery. Even the military clique in
Tokyo is aware of the fact that the
war is hopelessly lost and that Japan
faces alone the mightiest nations Of
the world. They had never bargained
for such situation, but being Japanese
militarists. are willing to have the whole
country commit mass hara-kiri.
The Emperor and his present advisers.
together with the great japanese in
dustrialists and bankers, are said to
feel differently and to have taken a
more western" point Of view. Since
defeat is inevitable, they would like to
finish this war without paying the pen
atty of complete political and economic
destruction.
According to reports which are not
confirmed by any Government agency
in Washington but which are sufficiently
substantial to be regarded as "likeli-
hoods the Japanese have two ap-
proaches in their peace feelers. One
Is this:
-Four and half million japanese
soldiers are under arms and will fight
to the bitter end. While they ulti-
mately will be defeated, they will exact
a heavy toll of American and British
lives in the process. There Is no mention
in this approach of unconditional sur
render except by implication.
The Japanese know that the western
democracies do not have the same dis
regard for human life as do the Orien-
tails. They hope that by coupling the
idea of saving thousands Of lives with

Discusses Education's Task

To the Editor of The Star:
This letter Is written with the hope
that those who read it will think upon
the depths to which human depravity
can descend when people develop an
theology of belief that some races are
inherently inferior and others superior
1t will be a good thing If the SNUG
complacency Of so many people can be
disturbed by seeing in the movies the
horrors of the efficiency of the German
people in starving and killing the people
they don't want to live.
We find that the Japanese were not
nearly so methodical as killers as the
more civilized Nazis. Nor must we
forget that we have had many lynching
orgies in America in past years, during
which all of the horrors of wartime
bestiality and sadism of the Nazis were
exhibited by large groups whose emo
tons were the product of a belief that
certain minority groups are inferior
humans.
Regardless of all the various methods
for a lasting peace to come from the
San Francisco Conference, nothing
seems to be more vital than that edu-
cation. coupled with legislation, is neces-
sary to develop respect for the rights OF
all individuals and tolerance for people
Of different cultures, races or religions.
The mind of the Christian American
must revolt in sensing the suffering of
these thousands of men, women and
children who have been systematically
tortured and liquidated by the irnuman
master race proponents in Germany.
The big question is not what are we
going to do to punish the Nazis, but
what are our schools and our institu-
lions going to do to prevent the growth
of sadism here in America? We should
not assume that it can't happen here.

sound through the Middle East where
collapse of the Ottoman Turkish EN-
pire under British arms and revolution
airy political influence on the Arab
world left us the natural successor to
the Arabian states: Saudi Arabia, Iran,
Iraq. Syria, Lebanon, Transjordania,
Egypt and Palestine.
Conquest of this world by military
might or political absorption is newt
able in the program. To anyone who
would be world master, as Caesar, Napo-
leon and Hitler all knew, as the Kaiser
knew with his Berlin ghdad plan, the
maintenance of the friendliest relations
with this world is essential. To any
world power or world equilibrium it is
absolutely essential. AS for Britain, the
moment she loses influence in this area
her world power Is gone, for not only
Is it almost the sole source of British
oil, but it is part of the infinitely
larger Moslem world, including millions
of Indians. and lies across her most
critical line of communications.
In the free world compatible with the
spirit of western institutions, the At
lantic Charter should have some form
Of federal union for Arabian states.
They are desirable as cooperating
members of a world organization where
in mutual security is guaranteed and
wherein they find room for Jewish
homeland
But whatever the great powers say in
San Francisco. here in the Holyland
the three religions see scarcely yelled
struggle between the ways of life in
the Near East and the concepts of the
world organization in the Western
Hemisphere-the manifold, democratic,
freedom-loving eastern countries not
based on Russia's despotic egalitarian or
realistic" government Here the burn
ing question is can Britain continue
modifying imperialism in the concept
of world commonwealth or will Russia,
like so many revolutionary powers, en-
bark from her unprecedented military
political position upon a course OF
world domination?
And what will be the role of the
United States?

JFRUSALEM-1t may seem strange
that any journalist at the climax of
events In Europe, where one sensation
follows another. should choose to turn
to the Middle East, but it has been my
practice to try to anticipate rather than
to follow events.
This war has been the most shatter-
ing experience in human history. Vic
tory of the Allied powers promises no
return to the comfortable former state
of affairs either in terms of organization
OF human society or distribution of
world power. From long view the most
important single fact of the war is the
emergence of the Soviet Union as the
undisputed premier power Of the whole
Eurasian mainland.
In 1919 the eminent British geogra-
pher. Sir Halford Mackinder, projected
the concept that the Eurasian CONT
nent reaching from the English Chan
mel Is an uninterrupted mass of land
while Vladivostok and the Pacific con-
tanning the overwhelming mass of all
humanity had its heartland in the area
where Russia borders Europe and that
he who is uniquely all-powerful between
the Rhine and the Urals can be master
of the globe
4
This concept, taken over by the Ger
man Haushofer, was the basic theory
OF the now shattered German General
Staff led by him. The dictum of Hitler.
shared by Won Rundstedt, was that the
British Empire could be- defeated only
in collaboration with Russia. But this
military geopolitical theory also had
been the gospel of the Russian General
Staff who may have imbibed 1t from
the Germans during the twenties when
there was closest collaboration between
the Reichswehr and the Red Army.
Knocking out Germany now leaves
the Soviet Union without rival or bal
ance of power on the Eurasian MAIN
land. There actually is but one for
midable power left in the worlds great
est continuous area. The Soviet recog-
milton of this fact is obvious in its all
but contemptuous treatment of the Brit
ish and American protests over Poland
and the repercussions of that fact re-

Japans acceptance Of defeat, the Tokyo
feelers may be given some consideration.
The other approach repeatedly Used
is purely political and takes advantage
Of the new trends in China involving
the rivalry between the Chang govern
ment supported by the United atates
and Britain and that Of Yenan spon-
sored by Moscow. In this theme, the
Japanese emissaries point out that the
disappearance Of Japan from the Asiatic
political and economic scene will I'M
questionably make Russia the foremost
power in Greater Asia Russia Will be
In position to do better job than
Japan hoped to when it started its vars
eight years ago. Soviet military power
will be mere adjunct Of political infil-
tration through MoscoW-made friendly"
governments.
The reported repeats" on these feel
ers would indicate that the Suzuki gov
eminent Is In hurry to find out wheth-
er there Is any chance of coming to
terms with the Allies before Russia de-
cides to declare war on Japan. Tokyo
Is fully aware that when this happens,
the chances of survival for the Japa-
nese ruling dynasty will be nil, even if
some kind of arrangement such as exists
in Italy should be made with the United
Nations.
4
There is, of course. no official COM
ment on these reported peace feelers.
But the general unoflcial comment is
that If the japanese want peace, they
know our terms. Unconditional s,Irren-
der will be applied to Japan as it has
been to all the other members of the
Axis. 1t is considered quite proper that
the Japanese should approach China
Japan also knows that while uncon-
ditional surrender is a must" with the
United Nations, its application depends
entirely on how quickly the enemy is
willing to put an end to hostilities and
throw himself on our mercy. AS in the
case of other members of the Axis the
harshness of the terms depend on how
much sacrifices are increased by sense
less continuation of the war.
While the depredations of the Japa-
nese armies have not been as serious as
those of the Germans because they did
not have the same chance, their cruel
ties to American fighting men have by
far exceeded those of the Nazis. This
apparently the Suzuki government is
willing to admit, since it is reported to
be prepared to surrender to the Allies
all the war criminals on their lists. If
some less harsh terms can be purchased
by execution of most of Japan's gen.
erals and admirals, it would be cheap
price to pay for saving some of the
empires political and economic struc-
ture.
The Allied forces now are preparing
to administer final blow to Japan. If,
before this happens, the government of
Japan is willing to accept the uncon-
ditional surrender and place itself at
our mercy. the offer not only will be
accepted, but would save the nation
possibly mortal beating
