showed that Hulten was the flrst

British authorities in Britain. He
was the first U. S. soldier to be
tried by British courts for capl-

War II.
Among the crowd which gather

this morning was Mrs. Violet Van

capital punishment, who shouted:
'He came here to be a para
trooper, not to hang. They let the
girl off but hang the man. It's
damn shame"
Mrs. Van der Elst, dressed IN
black and wearing flashy jewels,
demanded to be admitted to the
prison.
When police refused, she jump
ed into a nearby truck and, with
an ex-British serviceman as driv-

moved another truck into the
drive before the gate and, after
the two vehicles had collided, hur-
ried Mrs. Van der Elst and the
truck driver off to Jail, where they
were charged with injuring one Of
the policemen.

considerable portion of The food of the
japanese people.
1t may well prove to be possible to
isolate the japanese islands completely
by combination of these air operations
with the operations of the fleet. And
certainly, in the process of doing all
this, Japan will cease to be a modern
industrial state altogether: the progress
which has been made in the 80 years
since Japan emerged from the shadows
of medievalism, the progress of which
the japanese have been so proud, will be
utterly wiped out.
What then? Will the war be over?
Not if the japanese people and their
leaders want to go on fighting. They
can still defend their bomb blasted
islands yard by yard, as they. have de-
Tended Two and Saipan and Pelileu and
Okinawa. They will do so under enor-
nous handicaps; they will have no air
support, no heavy weapons Cor very
few, no steady flow of munitions But
they will have their sturdy bodies and
their warrior spirit, and they will have
small arms of all sorts and highly de-
fensible terrain. The real question is
how long the spirit will last; or perhaps,

will continue to appeal to the japanese
after all hope is gone.

We should remember that in the past
the voice of reason in high places in
Japan has all too often been silenced
by the assassin's bullet. In Germany, it
was the military who finally brought
about unconditional surrender, but the
military were never strong enough to do
this until the very end, with Germany
deeply invaded and German cities laid
in ruins. In Japan, 1t is likely to be the
military who will be for fanatical re-
sistance, to the finish, and it is the
military who will have weapons in their
hands. Can they ever be persuaded by
more moderate elements that the time
has come for surrender in order to save
the country - from utter devastation?
Can men of these views presumably
civilians for the most part-survive the
attempt to bring surrender about?
We do not know. The Japanese, as one
official here who knows them well puts
it, are unpredictable.

Yielding to strong demands from Lon,

ordered his commanding officers in the

continued disturbances is by no means
ended. The Arabs throughout the Mid

method of the French, who attempted
to bring back under their tutelage Leb-
anon and Syria, two countries which
were given their full independence in
1943 by De Gaulle, himself.

sion of what appeared to be at first a
minor disturbance in Eastern Algeria
have an important place on the agenda.
TIE fact that more than 10000 Arabs
have been killed or wounded in the area
near Constantine is likely to be ex-
plotted by the Moroccan and Tunisian
unofficial representatives.
1t is feared also that the American

cause the planes and the tanks used
by the French reprisal forces were lease

French armed forces by the United

past, the Arab world is becoming united
at least insofar as its attitude toward
the great powers is concerned. Neither
the State Department nor the Foreign
Office is willing to see the friendship
established recently with such important
leaders as King Ibn Saud jeopardized
because of Gen. de Gaulles moods"

And Now BornhoIm

Russian seizure of Bornholm, a.
highly strategic island in the Baltic
Sea, adds another complication to
the tangled skein of European diplo-
macy.
The island of Bornholm lies %
miles off the southern tip of Sweden
at the point where the Baltic Sea
starts to narrow between Sweden
and North Germany until it's ends to
the westward in the Danish archi-
pelago which partially blocks the
Baltic's exit to the wider reaches of
the North Sea and Atlantic Ocean
beyond. A rectangular block about
20 miles square, Bornholm has his
torically formed part of Denmark,
though geographically it is an
appendage of Sweden. It's rolling
wooded hills, mild climate and pic
turesque old towns have long made
it haven for summer tourists. TIE
inhabitants. numbering some 10000,
live chiefly by fishing and farming.
Into this quiet backwater burst the
German tide of conquest in the fate
full spring of 1910, when Hitler over
ran Denmark and seized Norway as
the prologue to his blitzkrieg which
overran Western Europe Unarmed
and defenseless, the Bornholmers,
like their brethren in Denmark
proper. made no resistance. During
the war, the island served as a base
for light naval craft and as the site
for experiments in the launching
of those dread long-range rockets
known as vi and W.. Some weeks
ago, when collapsing German sea
power lost its grip over the Baltic,
Russian expeditionary force landed
on Bornholm, overcame the German
garrison and settled down in it's
stead. Like other Russian-occupied
areas, a news blackout has been
imposed, penetrated thus far only by
an enterprising correspondent of the
New York Times. who made daring
trip to Bornholm in a fishing launch
