pathetic justice directed him TO re-

under an old separation agreement.
Meanwhile, Joe has been too
stunned by the swift run of events
TO decide on course to follow. At
any rate he hasn't said whether he'd
consider reunion of the old winning
combination-neither has Germaine
The legal jousts that unhorsed the
wife-shuttling playwright started late
in 1943 when the world was a mere
trinket at his wrist. Joe wanted out
and the couple reached a separation
agreement.
The agreement was ratified by the
New York Supreme Court on Dec.

opening of "Doughgirls" and the then
rolling-in-dough boy promised in writ

The near masterstroke followed
the pattern set by Washington when
he crossed the Delaware by night
while a few stooges tended his aban-

bought a ready-made divorce and on

THE WORLD ABROAD

In Germany today the whole Junker class is being
uprooted by land reform, the General Staff is des-
troyed, and the industrial barons have been shorn
Of much Of their power by the partial dismember-
ment and de-industrialization of Germany. The
soil and climate have been changed. There is at
least a chance for an eventual democratic Ger
many.
There is a very real danger that our present
course in Japan may lead to the continuation of the
feudal oligarchy Of Emperor, nobility and industr-
ial monopolists. A particular military clique may
perhaps be destroyed but the soil and climate in
which it grew and flourshed may remain unchang-
ed. That is what happened in Germany after
World War I.
That the recently recognized State Department
Is not unaware of danger wa made clear by Mr..
Acheson's comment upon General MacArthur's
statement. Mr.. Acheson said:
Il have no comments to make on the military as
poets OF what General MasArthur stated II think
| can say that | am surprised that anybody can fore
tell at this time the number Of forces which will be
necessary in Japan 49,
1.-The occupation forces are the instruments Of
policy and not the determinants Of policy, and the
policy IS and has been that the surrender of Japan
Will be carried out, that Japan will be put in a posi-
ton where it cannot renew aggressive warfare, and
that the present economice social system Of Japan,
which makes for a will to war, will be changed, SO
that will to war will not continue"
