Finally to each Of us has come a pro-
found sorrow because of our sense of
personal loss. Such was the great hui
manitarian spirit and genius of our
president that we have felt in his pass
ing that a close friend or member Of the
family has gone.
Neither this occasion nor these times
call for flood of sentiment or an orgy
of emotion. His body is dead. But his
spirit lives to inspire and guide us
through the days of trial which are up
on us. A few days ago we met at this
same place to celebrate Easter. We then
heard again that men seeking the body
of Christ 1000 years ago were told, "He
is not here. He is risen" Franklin
Roosevelt is not here, but from his
works on earth his spirit has risen to
where it will be shining light of hope
for all the world to see and follow. AS
soldiers and citizens, may the light of
that spirit be bright to our eyes now and
for generations to come, as we set out
to follow with courage and faith our
new president of these United States.

The remainder will come from sales

First Sales
The first sales of the drive have
already been chalked UP. The honor
of buying the first bond, for $3.50,
goes to j. T. Wynes of the post
property office. The second pur-
chaser was Mrs, Helen Blatt, hostess
at the Lakeside Club, who pur-
chased a S25 bond.

No finer method of honoring the
memory Of Franklin Delano Roose-
welt presents itself than to buy and
hold War Bonds. Help to buy the

important medical and hospital

dent struggled so vailiantly for.
Here too, is an opportunity to as
sure financial independence in the
postwar world. BY saving regularly
every week, even as small sum as
$375 will amount to $2,163.45 in 10
years with accumulated interest.
Even in five years that small
amount would add up to $1,004.20.

how your savings can pyramid.
Soldiers Invest
Soldiers have purchased more
than $750,O0G,O00.00 worth of War
Bonds through the Glass "B" allot-
ment plan alone, not counting cash
purchases. The response of civilians
in all previous drives has been one
of the heartening indications, not
only of the unity of our nation, but
of the wide realization that only by
placing extra cash now into securi-
ties, will initiation be stopped and
depreSSions avoided.
AS the campaign on Fort Hua-
chuca unfolds, the inhabitants will
have many convenient opportunities
to bring the War Bond thermometer
to the bursting point.

Mercantile Glasses Rise.
BY that time Japan had been
opened to world trade by Commodore
Perry, and the rise of the merchan-
tile classes made the position of the
Shoguns untenable. They returned
title to their tribal lands to the
Emperor. Twenty years later-in
1889 first Japanese constitution
was drafted by Prince Ito and pro-
claimed, not as right of the people
but as gift to them by the Emperor
Since then Japan has had limit

Emperor has ruled with the advice
Of two bodies: the Elder Statesmen
(the last Of whom died in l940) and
the Privy Council of 26 members
The fact that the Constitution pro-
vides that the Ministers of War and
Navy shall be officers Of those serv-
ives and that only they, among the
cabinet. have the right of direct
access to the Emperor has given the
military clique its ascendency.
Despite these trappings of a DEM

If terms of surrender are worked

American figures on interned ma

said local councils should arrange
to provide bands, light bonfires
and take other appropriate means
of celebrating this historic occasion" :"
The agency also suggested that

Commander of the Allied Powers

deems proper to effectuate the sur
render terms
Ultimately, the japanese people
would be allowed to determine the
kind of government they want
an opportunity they never before
have had.
The terms sent to Tokyo reaf-
f1rmed that surrender must be in
accordance with the Allied. procla-
nation issued at Potsdam July Is.
Under that declaration the enemy
would be stripped of her power to
make war, would be bottled up in
four principal islands.
Retention of the Emperor on any
terms would give Japan a chance to
save face. Congress, however, has
been sharply divided on that point.
Merit Seen in Proposal.
But from a practical standpoint,
diplomatic authorities suggested the
new Allied proposal had merit. The
Emperor is the constitutional head
of the government and it would be
easier for the Allies to work through
him than any one else.
In addition. he is chief of the
Army and Navy and solely RESPONSE
BILE for making peace.
Beyond that, he is the religious
leader of his people-and the Allies
have committed themselves to es-
tablishing freedom of religion in
Japan.
The four great powers decreed
the Emperor must authorize and
insure the signing of surrender
terms by the Japanese government
and Imperial General Headquar-
tiers.
They said he also must COM
mand all armed forces to cease
operations and give up their arms
wherever they are located. And he
must issue any other order the su-
preme commander may require to

Super Aviation Gasoline
Goes Into Production

By the Associated Press.
A new super" aviation gasoline
has gone into production in an un-
disclosed number of United States
reflneries.
Announcing this yesterday, Ralph
K. Davies, deputy petroleum admin
istrator for war, said the reflneries
involved in the new program and
the amount of fuel to be produced
could not be disclosed for reasons
of security.
The gasoline, higher grade than
the standard 100-octane grading
will improve the combat perform
ance of planes already in operation
in the Pacific. But Mr.. Davies said
the greatest improvement in per-
formance will not be obtained until
types of planes with especially de-
signed engines 60 into operation.
These types, Mr.. Davies said, are
not yet in combat and so stock piles
of the new fuel are being built up.
