AS matters now stand terms of

areas taken from Japan at such high
cost will impose no restrictions nor
time limits for their use for military
purposes. More than likely we will
come to some terms with Japan for
similar use of Okinawa.
Problem of Mandate
Islands in Pacific
1t has cost us something like 200,-
900 casualties and upwards of hum

inundated areas from Japan, and as
Secretary of the Navy Forrestal
said:
''It is unthinkable that those is
lands should not be a part of the
pattern of American security in the
Pacific" Resources of the islands
are negligible. Total population runs
about $1,000 but as air and sea
bases they are important in guard
ing the Philippines and our route
across the Pacific.
There appear to be troubled times
ahead for amicable cooperation be-
tween the United States, Britain and
Russia in the Far East. In the first
place our leaders are not definitely
in agreement whether we want or
need Russia's help in the Japanese
war ;. they are not agreed wheth-
er complications which would arise
as result Of Russian help may not
become more difficult to handle than
going it alone with the aid Of the
British navy. Evidences of mistrust
on the part of Russia, and her fail
ure to carry out commitments made
at the Yalta conference is disturb
ing to American officials, for set
tlement in the Far East is directly
related to the degree Of cooperation
between the present allies.

aiding the Chinese communists I'M
less they are willing to take their
place in the Chang government. Sta
lin recently has been highly critical
of Chang and high officials here
profess to fear that if Russia par
ticipates in the Chinese war, she
may make territorial and other de-
mands in Manchuria, Inner Mongo-
liza and even in Korea.
The fear is openly expressed that

unless base for agreement can be
reached between Stain and the
U. S. on the Chinese question, that
war-weary nation is ripe for a revo-
luton or civil war which may af-
feet the entire Far East situation.
Our official attitude is that we
have done everything we can do to
assure Russia of our postwar in
tentions which includes in the back
ground the possibility of a six bill
lion dollar loan to Russia to be used
for financing purchases Of needed
industrial equipment.
In the meantime, despite specula-
tion that Japan may fold up and
surrender on short notice, our mill
tary leaders are gearing their prep
aration for the Japanese war, fig
uring that it will take at least a
year and despite the fact that
the army has announced it will re-
lease some million and half troops,
redeployment is being conducted
with the idea that the five-million
army will be necessary to whip the

War Production Will
Begin to Decline

War production will drop consid-
erably and reconversion in some in
dustries will get underway as a re-
suit of We Day on the German front,
but the army and navy will get ev-
erything it asks in the way Of pro-
duction for the big push against the
Jap mainland which may get under
way as early as August. AS the
Okinawa campaign ends and our air
bases are set up on that island Of
the Jap homeland, routine bomb
ing of Jap naval bases at Nagasaki,
Sasebo, Kure and Kobe may be ex-
pected in preparing the way for in
vasion of the Japan sea, that stretch
Of water between the Japanese Is
lands and the mainland Of China.
Not only will Okinawa serve as a
base for land based planes, but it
may prove to be the jumping off
place for invasion movements, so it
may be assured that the new stage
in the Jap war will get under way
when Okinawa is finally set UP as an
operating base for the army and
navy and our powerful air arm i. {.
which will not only include a larger
fleet of BIOS but Flying Fortresses,
Liberators and medium bombers,
accompanied by fighter planes and
fighter bombers.
No other outside territory except
Korea is so strategically located as
Okinawa with reference to Japan,
controlling as it does the approach
to Japan from Formosa and China.
It may be that one more advance to
Korea will be made to forge this
circular ring about Japan.

Under the principles established in

Chiang's Hold a Precarious One

China's millions are an incohesive
mass of hard-ighting patriotic peo-

starvation diet and hardships, how
ever, and the hold of Chang over
these millions is a precarious one.
The Chinese Republic has been in
existence since 1911, but after "a
years she has not even adopted
constitution. For centuries before
that time the Chinese people lived

under the domination Of various
forms of monarchy and banditry.
When the Manchu monarchy was
overthrown in 1911 the Republic Of
China had practically nothing, upon
which to form a government. For
almost $50 years the people had been
living under the protection of for
eign nations who had established ex-
traterritorial rights and this consul
lar jurisdiction.
