Among the Diplomats
Many Changes
In Corps Here
By Katharine NJ. Brooks

Washington will welcome new
members of the diplomatic corps
this week and before the end of
the month farewells will be said to
several of the very popular men,
bers of the corps. The newly ap-
pointed Iranian Ambassador, M.
Hussein Ala, accompanied by Mime.
Ala and their daughter, Mile. Iran
Ala, reached New York Friday.
They were met there by the Iranian
Charge d'Affaires, DR.. A. A. Daftary,
who has been counselor Of the Le-
CATION for some time and probably
will continue in that post since the
mission has been raised to an EN-
bassy.
DR.. Ala is one of the distinguished
men of his country and has been
in the diplomatic service for some
years and was appointed Ambas-
sador to this country from the post
as Minister of the Court at home.
He, like his wife, was educated in
England and they speak almost
fiawless English. Their daughter,
now in her middle teens, has been
a student at the American School
in Teheran.
The Iranian government pur-
chased the handsome residence at
3003 Massachusetts, avenue about
year ago to be in readiness for an
Ambassador. The last Minister, M.
Mohammed Shayesteh and Nine.
Shayesteh, were here from Feb
ruary, 1910, until August Of this
year and made many personal
friends as we'll as many for their
country. 1t was during their regime
that the new Embassy was pur-
chased and furnished and the nu-
merous changes in the building to
accommodate not only the Ambas-
sador's residence but the chancery
were completed.
Another addition to the corps, far
from being q stranger, who will be
welcomed by a very wide circle of
friends is Mr.. Sigurd Won Numers.
He arrived yesterday to take up his
duties as counselor of the Finnish
Legation, but came without Mrs
Won Numers, who remained In their
home In Finland. She will join him
later, probably after he finds suit
able living quarters. Mr.. Won Nu-
mers was secretary of the Legation
some years ago and will find num-
Der of his many friends waiting to
bid him welcome.
Two equally popular diplomats Of
lesser rank will bid those In their
wide circles of friends in this Capt.
tai au revoir before the end Of the
month. They are the Counselor of
the Swedish Legation. NJ Tor Hugo
Wistrand, and Mr.. j. r. Jordan,
Secretary of the South African Le-
CATION. M. and Nine. Wistrand
expect to leave the middle of the
week but will visit members Of her
family before returning to their
Swedish home.
Mr.. Theodore Eustace, who is more
familiarly known as Ted Eustace,
is expected to arrive In the not too
distant future to assume his new
duties as Counselor OF the South
African Legation. He will be the
first counselor at this legation,
which has had a secretary as its
ranking member. Mr.. Eustace will
come here from Narrobi, East
Africa, where he has been acting
commissioner for his government.
Mr.. Eustace will be accompanied by
Mrs. Eustace and their three chill
dren

Minister Host
| 1t Recebti0n

The Australian Minister, Sir
Frederic Eggleston, was host last
evening at one of the largest parties
given at that legation. The guests
of honor were the Minister for Ex-
ternal Affairs of Australia and Mrs
Evatt who are here for a short stay
while the Minister is having confer
ences with officials.
The Minister, as is the custom OF
all those from his country, was as
informal as possible in the enter
tanning yesterday and stood at the
foot of the steps into the large
living room at the legation or
Cleveland avenue. Standing with
him were the Rt. Hon. and Mrs
Evatt, the latter wearing q becom-
ing street-length frock, keeping the
atmosphere Of informality.
The only assistants at the party
Yesterday were members Of the lesa-
ton staff and their wives and the
long buffet tables were laid in the
long library several steps down from
the drawing room where the French
windows were opened onto the lawn
and the veranda.
The several hundred guests last
evening included members of the
Cabinet, the Foreign Relations and
Foreign Affairs Committees of the
Congress as well as many from the
diplomatic corps, service circles and
those who are residents of Washing
ton without official position.
There were few who declined the
invitation to the Australian legation

to Washington from that continent

have entrenched themselves in the
life at this Capital.

with diamonds and sapphires, which
the holder of a lucky number will
eventually own.
Not any bazaar would be com
plete without the romantic corner
where mystic gazes into the future
and foresees the destiny Of those
who seek knowledge OF what fate
has in store for them. So there
will, Of course, be q fortune teller
in q si1ken- n-draped and dimly lighted

the ticket will go to one of the coast
States and probably to one of the large
industrial States-provided the right
man can be found
Should the Democrats-and Mr. Tru-
man, for he will have good deal to say
about the matter-decide to dip into the
Supreme Court for vice presidential
candidate they might take Associate
Justice Jackson. who halls from New
York, or Associate Justice Douglas, who
was born in Maine but lived and went
to college in the State of Washington
The late President Roosevelt, when he
wrote a letter last summer giving his
blessing to Mr.. Truman for the vice
presidential nomination. included Mr.
Douglas as one who would also be
satisfactory to him.
II the Democrats could bring them
selves TO put Southerner on their
national ticket, they might nominate
Secretary of State Byrnes. who comes
from South Carolina, for the vice pres
:dency. Or they might go to Gov. Arnall
of Georgia, who has been extremely
active and is put forward as an exponent
of the new South" 1t may be that the
same opposition to Mr.. Byrnes for the
nomination which manifested itself at
the 1914 convention would operate
against him again. Certainly. however,
no man has keener knowledge of the
whole Government or shown greater
efficiency in his many public offices than
Mr.. ByrneS., He has been a member of
the House and of the Senate, a member
of the Supreme Court, a director of war
mobilization, and finally Secretary of
State.
1t is much too early to predict the
running mate of Mr. Truman. in the
event Mr.. Truman is the presidential
nominee. 1t will be interesting to OBJ
serve, however. whether any man is given
chance to raise his head and to be
eroomed for such high Office. President
Roosevelt, after he was freed of the
obligation to taking former Vice Pres
ident Jack Garner as his running mate,
picked first Secretary of Commerce WAL
Lace. and then Mr.. Truman. In 1882, Mr..
Roosevelt had to take Mr. Garner for
second place in order to get the Garner
delegates for his own nomination for
President.
There will be plenty of willing candi-
dates. The elections next year may give
New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois and
California Democratic governors. Some
veteran of the war may be put forward
If industrial States of the Midwest have
look in, Senator Lucas of Illinois may
be good bet. The friends of former
Gov. Paul McNutt of Indiana, now head
OF the Manpower Commission, will cer-
tainly make bid for the nomination
for him.

So far as the presidential succession
is concerned Secretary of State Byrnes
is to all intents and purposes Vice
President of the United States. Should
anything happen to make it impossible
for President Truman to continue in
the White House, Mr.. Byrnes, under
the present law. would become Chief
Executive and move into the Executive
Mansion. The bill changing the law of
presidential\ succession. advocated by
President Truman and placing the
Speaker of the House in line to be-
come the acting President in the event
of the death of President and Vice
President, has begged down in the Sem
ate Judiciary Committee and promises
to stay there unless White House pres
sure is exerted on the return of Con-
gress.
One of the arguments raised by Sena-
tors against this proposal is that the
Constitution gives Congress only the
power to say what Officer" shall act
as President in the event of the death
or disability of both President and Vice
President and that member of Con-
gress. including the Speaker, is not an
officer in the meaning of the Consti-
tuition. That argument, however, is
open to attack
BY strange ouirk of fortune. Mr..
Byrnes is holding this vice presidential
status. a status which he sought at the
time Of the Democratic National Con-
vention in Chicago last year. President
Truman went to the convention pre-
raI IN NEr i,,
tion for Vice President. But between
the opposition of Sidney Hillman, Philip
Murray, president of the CLIO, and that
of the late President Roosevelt, Mr.
Byrnes was side-tracked and the nomi-
nation went to Mr.. Truman who has
now become President and appointed
Mr.. Byrnes Secretary of State, an Office
which also was denied him by Mr.
Roosevelt.
Presumably President Truman will be
nominated by the Democratic National
Convention of 1948 to succeed himself in
the White House. There are some of
the dyed-in-t -the-wool Roosevelt New
Dealers who do not relish the thought; :;
there are some who would like to have
Secretary of Commerce Wallace in his
place. UnlesS there is some political
and economic upheaval in the next two
years. however, there seems no ghost of
a chance for Mr.. Wallace or any one
else to stop Mr. Truman's denomination.
The problem the Democrats will face
then is the selection of a running mate
for Mr.. Truman in 1948. Mr.. Truman

This Changing w orld

the military clique was able to control
the court and the Parliament and the
country was transformed into an even
more militaristic state than the Reich.
1t is with this clique composed of
military and naval men and small
but powerful group of civilian jingoists
that the American military authorities
will have to deal soon after the occupa-
tion of the country has been definitely
established. Most of them are already
on the war criminals list; others, have
managed to get less involved in actual
criminal acts but have a record which
will make it easy for the American
authorities to deal drastically with them.
In all probability Japan will lose few
Of the territories which belong to her

thing obtained by force since she started
on her road to expansion" from 1895
to 1912. But actually Japanese lands
will remain in her possession. They are
of $40 value to us and of little value to
ou7 Allies.
The Tokyo radio yesterday said elec-
tions would be held before the end of
the year and when they are, American
authorities will see that they are actually
free. If the japanese people show by
their ballots an indication that they
have learned their lesson and mean to
have real peaceful government without
jingoistic tendencies the American gov
ernment will be disposed to relent from
its present position and help that coun-
try to recover

The United States will be willing, after
it has become obvious what the trend
is in Japan, to permit limited amount
of raw materials to reach Japan where
an American-Supervised peacetime in
dustry will be allowed to revive.
But it will be many years before the
japanese government will be in posi-
ton to have foreign policy of its own.
The recent revelation that even in this
hour Of defeat some of the japanese
leaders are attempting to prepare the
ground for an eventual Sino-Japanese
union directed against the western ma
tions has made it clear to the policy
trainers in Washington that Japan must
remain politically isolated from the
Asiatic mainland for an indefinite time
Economically Japan will be MAIN
tanned as unit and will be given a
chance to recover. Politically, how
ever, she will be on trial for a much
longer time than most of her people

The Stars and Stripes have been

In its history foreign army has set
foot as conqueror
The length of the occupation and the
attitude of the American Government
toward Japan depends entirely on the
behavior of the japanese. The bows of
the officials and the population and the
forced smiles on their lips will deceive
no one.
The American policy which prevailed
at Potsdam that Japan be given
chance to recover, provided its present
rulers and the large and desperately
poor masses become democracy in
fact and not only in name, will be fol-
lowed literally by the Allied supreme
commander.
Unlike the case of Germany and Italy
and other CELEBRATED European states.
where we contented ourselves to tran
our Allies, we shall be in complete con-
troll in Japan. The representatives of
the other nations will be kept advised
about our policies but they will have
little to say about actual policies. Gen.
Macarthur has been given definite
set of instructions and also very free
hand to apply them in accordance with
his best judgment. Those who know
the supreme commander and the way
he operates are satisfied that, while
dealing with the Allied representatives
with the utmost courtesy, he will not
permit the broth to be spoiled by too
many cooks.
Il
Hirohito is on his ancestral throne
only temporarily. For the time being
he is useful figurehead to enable the
American troops to establish themselves
in his country without undue hardship
to his own people. The American Gov
ernment sincerely hopes that the mill
tary will not be compelled to use
drastic measures to keep the japanese
people quiet. There may be some local
disturbances here and there but it is
expected that the japanese gendarmerie
will be able to cope with them.
The most difficult and at the same
time the most constructive part of our
occupation will be the reorganization
of Japan on basis entirely different
from that which existed in the past
Japan had nominal constitutional
government with Parliament and, for
some time, allegedly free elections. But
in fact particularly since she emerged
as victorious partner of the Allies in
the last war, she was anything but
democratic. With turn of the hand
