Gen. Togo Gives Interview To

 Tojo said we were the first Americans he had seen since Jap ans surrender, and when asked who was responsible for starting the war, the man who was pre- mier and virtual dictator of Japan from before Pearl Harbor until the Americans took Saipan replied "You are the victors and you will be able to name him now, but his- torians five hundred or a thou sand years from now may judge differently"
 Changing the subject he said he himself narrowly escaped death on May 18th when a Superfort fire raid ringed his house in flames. Tojo's home is new in the Yoga district, about an hours drive from the Imperial Palace. When we first saw him, Tojo was lying on his back on rickety rat tan garden chair supervising the solitary laborer filling in cellar like afraid shelter of concrete.

One pledged Jap militarism would be eliminated, and the other assured his troops they could go home as soon as peace could be made secure. In his first statement he explained the Japs will rule themselves sub- ject to his orders with the occupa- tion troops ready to enforce his decisions if necessary.
 He warned his own troops to re- spect the rights of the Japs. Loot ing, pillage, or rape will be but a stain on your own high honor"
 To the Japs he announced the freedom of speech, press, religion, and assembly be encouraged and will be limited only by demands of military security. A light cen sorship was placd upon Jap pa pers Sunday, but no attempt to control their editorials or propa- ganda was made.

Won in the Field

The brilliant featS of the American
First and Third Armies in their
advances through France after the
Normandy invasion and, more re-
Gently, their progress through Ger
many after the Rhine crossings,
place the promotion of their COM
manding generals in the category
of honorS won on the field OF battle.
In addition, the promotions seem
in part to be the result of expressions
of disappointment from some men,
bers of the Senate Military Affairs
Committee over the omission Of
Lieutenant Generals George S.
Patton and Courtney H. Hodges
from the list of those recently raised
to the rank of four-star generals.
Senate approval of these initial
nominations by President Truman
may be expected to follow as a
matter of course.
And certainly they will receive the
enthusiastic Endorsement of the
American people. The public knows
little of General Hodges except
through the consistently excellent
performance of his command. But
in the case of General Patton, his
promotion will be received as official
acknowledgment of his self-vindica-
ton after the famous soldier
slapping" incident, which placed
him under cloud threatening for a
time to end his usefulness as an
American field commander. The
same committee which in effect
initiated the nomination sent to
the Capitol yesterday was delaying,
not so long ago, its approval Of his
promotion to lieutenant general to
see what he would do next.
Except for the suggestion OF
parallel with the case of General
Sherman in the Civil War, no
American general has succeeded, as
has General Patton, in recapturing
as completely the esteem Of his
people after so hard a temporary fall
from grace.

Letters to The Star
Favors Government Being Ahead
OF Generality of People

To the Editor Of The Star:
Absenteeism among members Of the
United States Senate may be due to
the members having too much to do, or
it may be simply normal reaction to
dumb-cluck speechmaking.
1t was Henry Ward Beecher who
remarked that when members of his
congregation on Sunday morning
showed signs Of wanting to nap, he
knew it was time for the preacher to
wake up.
Some people try to excuse the low
quality of some of our duly elected
Government officials by saying that
We cannot expect government to be
much better than the people who elect
the officials
I reject this reasoning, because I
know that our American industry en-
ploys highly scientific and technical
processes and methods which are at
least 100 years in advance of the people
whom these devices serve so we'll
1 see no reason why Government
procedures should not be as far ahead
of the people as is true in the case
of industry. If that Is not possible
under our system, then we perhaps
ought to put some engineering tech
niques into governmental administra-
ton. JAMES LONGABAUGH.

bold experimentation at the ton. no
esoteric thinking by forward thinkers
can change the basic current of Ameri-
can life. We can call that individual
ism. II We wish. 1t means that some
how people have to make their way on
their own. But there are prejudices.
such as a distrust of big business and
big labor, in that philosophy. Monop-
oily, to those who think like President
Truman, is something with horns and
a tail. To attack it makes votes, al
though attacks are never inspired by
clear comprehension Of the precise
meaning.
Mr.. Truman is a professed profess
sional friend of small business He
probably believes that monopolistic big
business in the East is determined to
shut down Midwestern plants to pre-
vent competition. And he is likely to
ally himself with that very considerable
wing OF political action which intends
to keep industry distributed about as it
has been during the war That will
mean politically determined distri-
button, with something for all the COM
peting States.
Further on the economic side of his
thinking, it must be noted that his
reputation was made as critic of busi-
ness His Senate War Expenditures Com
mittee had good deal to say about bad
coordination in government Chiefly,
its activity was to see that private
enterprise did not make a killing in
war production. 1t is likely that the new
Presidents attitude will be somewhat
suspicious of business for the time
On the positive side so far as busi-
ness is concerned is Mr.. Trumans hon.
est disposition to assume that business
must be permitted to make profits to
assume that the pattern of free enter
prise is to remain and to believe that
the war controls must be removed as
soon as military needs are no longer
pressing. There will certainly be no dis
position in Mr.. Truman to create new
kind of economic life out of the neces-
sary controls of war. That is why con-
servatism will be the major drift,
although the trend will be cautious,
slow and, in many respects, trouble
some.

The Cabinet Makers

President Truman'S hrSt press
conference has shed little light on
the future status of his good friend,
James F. Byrnes.
Mr.. Byrnes returned to Washing
ton after President Roosevelt'S
death. and has been comforting with
President Truman. But when the
latter was questioned about the mat
ter yesterday, all he said was that
Mr.. Byrnes was going back to South
Carolina and that whenever he, the
President, was in need of his Serv-
ices he would call on him. This was
in harmony with what Mr.. ByrneS
had previously told reporterS-that
he was going back to South Caro-
lima, that he would be glad to rem
der whatever service he could as
private citizen" but that he had
no plans to return to Government
service.
There is need in this Government
for the talents which Mr.. Byrnes
has so abundantly demonstrated,
and his ultimate selection for some
post commensurate with his abilities
would be clearly in the public in
terest. But it is quite a different
thing to say, as do the volunteer
cabinet makers, that Mr.. Byrnes
ought to be Secretary of State, and
that Mr.. Stettinius ought to hand
In his resignation forthwith.
It may be that the President even
tually will ask Mr.. Byrnes to take
over the State Department. There
is no doubt that he is we'll qualified
for the post and some persuasive
arguments can be made in behalf Of
the theory that he ought to hold
it. But it happens, at this rather
important and delicate time, that Mr..
Stettinius is Secretary of State. He
is to head the American delegation
to this months conference at San
Francisco. for which he has been
instrumental in laying the ground
work, and the President has empha-
sized that he has complete conf
dence in this delegation.
In these circumstances, it would
seem that the cabinet makers might
at least delay their nomination of
Mr.. Byrnes to succeed Mr.. Stettinius.
The latter has big job ahead OF
hin-the biggest and unqueStion-
ably the most important with which
his department has ever had to deal.
In undertaking it he ought not to
be embarrassed, and the outlook for
a successful conference ought not
to be put in any degree Of jeopardy
by repeated suggestions that Mr..
Stettinius should be, or is going to
be, replaced as Secretary of State.
He deserves, instead, the full support
of the public which Mr.. Roosevelt
and his successor, President Tru-
man, have already given him. Both
the President and Mr.. Stettinius
may be counted on, with or without
the advice and consent of self
appointed counsellors in the news
paper and radio fraternities, to take
the steps which appeal to them as
best serving the interests of the
country.

Drift to Conservatism
Bv RAYMOND NOIer

After the mountain Of comment about
the new picture in Washington has been
published, the time comes to comment
on comment The comment that has
appeared itself may so influence Presi-
dent Truman and those around him
that his course of action-his immediate
course Of action at any rate-may be
such as to make certain conclusions
turn out to be false.
Mr.. Truman is a shreWd man, and
such of his advisers as James F. Byrnes
are extraordinarily shreWd They know,
for example, that there will be an as
sumption in certain reactionary quar-
ters that some red lights will now turn
green. They also know that If con-
spicuous radicals are swiftly elected
from high place there will be so dis
astrous split in the party that the Re-
publicans will be able to win with the
proverbial Chinaman.
Finally, they know that if there Is too
disgraceful a rush of political bosses
into the White House pantry, there will
be screams Of protest. investigations
and scandals. So it is best to note that
there are some very smart politicians
close to the President. Note next that
the flrSt principle OF politics Is not to
do the obvious
1t Is, therefore, a good guess that
radical changes in policies and person.
mel will not come soon. They did not
come quickly when T. R. succeeded
Mckinley or when Coolidge succeeded
Harding. Caution will be the watch
word for a while.
That caution will be especially note
worthy in the new administrators atti-
tude toward economic questions, which
is subject of concern to all business
men in these critical days.
1t is, though, fair to believe that the
new Presidents decisions will be gov
erned by the eternal characteristics of
human nature. The safest assumption
is that the philosophy Of President Tru-
man will be what the youthful Harry S.
Truman brought with him to the Senate
Of the United States There will be no
time in the crowded life ahead for him
to reorient himself mentally now
The basic philosophy he brought to
the Senate is that no government, no
