NEW YORK, N. "a behind .the-scenes strug-
gle over United States policy with regard to Japan
is beginning to come out into the open. The Japan
csc Premiere, Prince Higashi- Kuni, drew a sharp
retort from Acting Secretary of State Acheson,
when he asked the people Of the United States "to
forget Pearl HarbOr and bury hate" Acheson said
that this request showed how little the japanese
people as yet understood ''the nature of their own
conduct or the mind of the American people, He
pointed out that Pearl Harbor was mot a symbol
Of American hatred for Japan, but a symbol Of Jap
anese p~erfidy.'' The japanese Government, he
said, twill be judged by its deeds, not its words"
simultaneously, General Macarthur, stung by
criticism of alleged "soft treatment Of the Japan
csc, began to crack down on war criminals, clapped
censorship on the japanese press and radio, and eX-
planned that the terms of the POtsdam ultimatum
were far from "soft'' and would be carried out to
the letter.
AS against these developments on the 'tough"
side, various American officers commented favor
ably upon the cooperative spirit shown by the Jap
anese. General Eichelberger, Commander Of the
Eighth U. S. Army, went 50 far as to say that if
things went on as smoothly as they are now going,
eve ought to have this thing cleaned up in a year.
And General Macarthur himself made the startling
statement that not over 100000 troops would be
needed for the occupation of Japan.
1t became clear that some of our high-ranking
military men hold the view that the occupation of
Japan can and should be terminated in a very short
time. The reason given is that an island nation,
having lost It's sea and air power, It's merchant ship
ping and its overseas empire, cannot again become a
menace to the peace.
In Germany the plans apparently call for a long
occupation and a long period of probation during
which there will be no German Government or rec
ignition of German sovereignty.
In Japan, on the other hand, the Allies are appar-
emily not only willing but anxious to preserve a
continuity of japanese sovereignty, provided the
surrender terms are carried out. Quite possibly
the occupation will be shorter than that of Germany
While it is too soon to reach any conclusions, it is
not too soon to become aware Of certain dangers.
One such danger is that we may repeat in Japan
some of the fatal mistakes we made in Germany %
years ago, even though we appear to be avoiding a
repetition of those mistakes in Germany itself.

Free speech is the life blood of the Republic Of
the United States. From the Bill Of Rights to the
Four Freedoms, it has been a symbol of democracy,
so completely accepted as a right, that we have
come to take it for granted. Without free speech
no man knows the ambitions or ideals motivating
his neighbor. The abolition Of free speech precedes
by only a moment the enslavement of man.
But how may we preserve free speech?
If free speech is to be desired enough to fight for
it and if it's loss is one of the greatest a nation can
suffer, we must cherish it and use it wisely-for
free speech is a responsibility as well as a right.
Free speech must be true speech. Free speech
must be fair speech.
Free speech means the right to disagree and to
state the reason for dissent, without recourse to
SlanderOuS abuse.
While we fight to protect freedom of speech, we
should not employ that freedom to destroy unity or
to snip at one another. No one group, whether it
be t class, employment, race, national origin or rell-
giOn, should carry free speech to extremes.
If one side abuses the right of free speech, the
other side is not justified in following suit.
Liberty must never degenerate into license; free
dom of assembly must never end in mob rule; and
free speech must never lower itself to vituperative
SANDER Of those with whom we are not in accord or
against any group Of our population.
Free speech can only be exercised by a free peo-
ple-free to study the facts, to weigh tn source and
to state it's own position clearly and calmly. Free
men must be ready to listen as well as to speak, and
to be tolerant Of every argument, every point OF
view-except the argument and point OF view OF IN
tolerance.

CLIO argues that to carry them through reconver-
sion, corporations have: War savings equal to one
year Of average prewar profits; a government Gin
surance fund" to draw on in event of low earnings
or losses equal to eight years Of average prewar-
profits.
If the average wage Garner had proportionate
funds to draw on, CLIO argues, he would have a tot
al backlog of $4,000. Actually he has little or no

It's as an argument for high wage scales, economists
here say the basic justification for higher wages is
found in chronological advancement.
Bureau OF Labor Statistics data show that the
index OF factory payrolls was about the same in
1910 as in 1920, while the labor cost of producing
a unit OF goods was cut in half. Output per man

Management argues:
G))That meeting labor's demands will delay re-

(2) That raising wages means raising prices.
CD That labor threatens any chance to achieve
full employment.
(4))That now is an unfair time to negotiate wage
scales because the industry doesn't know what new
car ceilings will be. or whether they viii be ration
ed.
Secretary Of Labor Schwellenbach, just armed
with new powers in the hurried Presidential reOr-
ganizatiOn Of labor agencies, is on a hot spot since
settlement Of wage disputes is now in his hands.
President T1uman's promise Of a more liberal
policy on shipping feed to Europe, even though it
may mean continued ration controls, is due in part
to terrific pressure put on the Administrator by
women's and civic groups.

GROWING THUNDER-CLOUDs

It's a very long way from here to Java or to Indo-
China, and you can bet we're not getting nearly all
the news, but what we do get shows clearly that the
thunderclouds are growing darker by the day. The
French, too weak for the moment to re-establish
their stranglehold on Indo-China, have persuaded
the British to hold things together for them. 1t
now looks as if the japanese have been asked by
the British to help keep the natives in line. And
it must be a strange sight to see Indians, differed
by white men, shooting down Annamites who want
to be free.
Censorship is tighter than ever in India, and now
it is almost impossible to get any straight news. 1t
seems clear though that the British plan to continue
the old game Of imperialism, while they try to per-
suade the world to believe that Hindu-Moslem diff
ferences make it almost imperative that the English
stay OH for another hundred years or so.
Sooner or later, and the advent of the atomic
bomb helps to hasten the day, subjugated and ex-
plotted peoples all over the earth will provoke such
a bloodletting as cannot now be imagined. It's
hard to imagine how western nations can be stupid
enough to 60 on trying to take everything away
from the natives, giving nothing in return, and
expect the exploited races to 60 on liking it.
There is by far too much fascism in this country,

You might have thought that the unfavorable
publicity given to the Daughters Of the American
Revolution when they refused to permit Marian
Anderson to sing in Constitution Hall in Washing
ton would have changed the good ladies' minds, or
that tie war would have brought a new outlook.
But that isn't the case at all, as witness the fact
that the same issue is raised about Hazel Scott,
well-known pianist. You remember that Marian
Anderson sang to a record-breaking crowd at the
foot Of the Lincoln Monument, and that Mrs.
Roosevelt resigned from the A in protest against
their reactionary attitude. Hazel Scott is by no
means the great artist that Marian Anderson is. but

WASHINGTON RID.

WASHINGTON, d. C-President Truman is
faced with his first critical test of domestic leader
ship by the labor unrest in the industrial Middle
west.
This has been expected. Labor and management
pulled their punches during the war. Both have
accepted postwar industrial strife as inevitable.
Now they are getting ready to slug it out.
The apparent concession Of automobile worker
unions to settle for less than a 80 percent increase
IN payrolls is only temporary. Labor has been
building its case for higher payrolls for months. It
has accepted as fact that management would be out
to break the unions, as after World War I.
Labor feels that now's the time for a showdown
on the issue Of wage scales. Its strategy is to meet
The Omaha guide., 1945-10-13

management head on while the unions have funds.
Here are the high points of labor's casee:
Cd Wage rates increased 32.4 percent during
the war; cost Of living, 45 percent. Cutting work
ers' pay envelopes, through elimination of over
time pay and other wartime extras, will 50, drastic
ally curtail labor income that markets can't possibly
be found to support a full production-full employ
ment program.
(2) Without overtime wage rates must be in
creased % percent or more to keep the economy
rolling at full speed. Unions are asking for the
same pay for a 4O-hour week as they got in wartime
for a 48-hour week.
(3)Corporations have the money to boost wages
out of profits without increasing prices. CIO plac-

FIGHT ON USES:

On Of the big gains made during the War was to
establish a United States Employment Service. thus
ending the spotty, jim-crow direction Of employ
ment by the several states. In the face of a con-
certed drive to re establish state direction, Senators
Wagner and Murray are introducing a bill to make
permanent the federal service instituted during the
War. The new bill stimulates that there is to be
mo discrimination If you have any worthwhile
contacts in Washington, now is the time to work on
them, for a return to state control of this important

be b~y-passed on the job question, and won't even
have a chance at referral in the better paying jobs.

The fashion in which adults in Chicago. Gary and

session, and help the people concerned to establish
their independence. That happened in the Phillip

majority Of Americans actually believe in the dem

THE STRIKE PICTURE:

You don't need to spend two hours on a bus crawl
ing up Fifth Avenue in New York City to realize
that strikes are increasing daily, and that many
more are on the way. AS this is written, $1,000
striking longshoremen have tied up practically ev-
cry ship in New York Harbor. A good guess is
that Mr.. Truman will soon ask for an all-round in
crease of ten to fifteen percent in wages, and then
put it up to workers to stay on the job until recon-
version is at least well under way!

Business Federation
Drops Reorganization
And New Dues Plans

The Federation of Businessmen's
Association last night dropped re-
organization plans which called for
the admittance of nearby area
business groups and an increase in
revenue by new system of dues.
The projected amendment to the
federation's constitution and by
laws which would allow business
groups in nearby Maryland and
Virginia to become members of the
federation was pigeon-holed after
delegates pointed out drawbacks of
such proposal.
Louis Frick, delegate from the
Southeast Business Associa ton,
argued that organizations in the
outlying areas ARE going to do their
best to draw business out there"
and alliance with them would cause
friction
Theodore Grape of the Connecti-
cut Avenue Association said: while
believe that outlying associations
are just as fine and may be better
than we are we certainly
would go far wrong inviting them
in. There are too many differences
in laws covering business in nearby
areas and in the District"
Plans to increase the federationS S
income by changing the present fiat
rate of dues for member bodies to
per capita system for each associa-
ton were dropped in accordance
with special committee report on
the proposal. This report asserted
that the total income reached
through per capita taxation would
fall far short of the goal needed for
setting up permanent federation
offices. 1t also was pointed out in
the report that Is of the "a men,
Der bodies opposed the plan.
The federation went on record
favoring pending legislation that
would extend the District Emer-
gency Rent Control Act for one
year beyond the expiration date of
December 81, 1945.
The group also voted approval
of Chairman Randolph's bill deal
ing with condemnation proceeding
abandonments. This bill would re-
imburse with District funds citizens
who had been forced to spend
money in condemnation proceedings
brought about by the District only
| to find that abandoned intention
/ of purchasing their property after
judgment of its value had been
| handed down, Mr.. Nelson explained
! to the federation.
1t was unanimously voted to con-
tribute $50 toward the expenses of
the Wainwright welcoming celebra-
ton here September 10. A letter
soliciting the funds from the COM
mittee for reception of Gen. VAIN
wright explained that the costs Of
the entire celebration totaled $2,100.
A Nominating Committee made up
of officers of the member bodies or
their duly appointed representatives
was directed at the meeting to select
slate of prospective officers for the
coming year to be voted on at din
ner meeting next month.
