hURlNG the existence OF our nation,
~ and in its cycle of development, we
have been like a spendthrift who came
into fortune and squandered it reck-
lessly.
AS result of the boundless resources
which came with the settlement of our
nation. we acquired wasteful habits as re-
CARDS this wealth. We took from natures
stores what we wanted and showed aside
valuable assets which were in our way,
giving little concern to the needs of future
generations.
This waste and destruction continued
until the young nation of the United States
became known as the most wasteful ma
tion in the world
TNHE use and destruction of our national
Il resources have advanced to the point
where we begin to realize there may be
an end to these boundless materials
that in the not too distant future, our
wealth of natural resources will be greatly
depleted, if not dissipated Now we are
face to face with the problem of how TO
conserve and develop what remains, so
that the greatest amount of good will ac-
crue in the most permanent manner.
In the great migration of American
citizens from the eastern to the western
part of the nation there was an outstand-
ing objective of the human tide which
made the hazardous journey. Those mi
grating Americans sought new natural
resources.
Our two world wars intensified and
enormously increased the drain upon our
resources. Implements of war were re-
qulred, and these implements had to be
fashioned from the raw materials of our
land.
We have drawn upon our natural re-
sources as never before for our own use
as we'll as for our Allies and for suffering
nations.
Every drop of oil taken from the un
derground reserves means that much less
supply avaiable every mine from which
ore has been extracted is that much nearer
exhaustion every stick Of timber taken
from our forests has reduced their poten-
TALLY.
THESE things cannot be returned to
l. earth once they have been utilized.
They are gone forever This brings us to
the necessity of considering ways and
means for o h q r adaptations, replace
ments, or new discoveries which will fll

drain.

and strategic mines and metals have to

Macarthur Takes Over

Gen. DOUGLAS MACARTHUR
- has taken over the tense and
complicated situation attending the
capitulation of Japan with his char
acteristic energy and efficiency, and
he will conduct the administration of
conquered Japan in the same manner.
The appointment of Gen. Mac.
Arthur as supreme Allied COM
mander in the Pacific was the first
act of President Truman after it was
determined that Japan had fully met
the terms of surrender.
1t was very much to the credit of
the President.
GEN. MACARTHUR is NOT
ONLY EMlNENTLY QUALIFIED
FOR THE ASSIGNMENT, BUT
RICHLY EARNED AND DE-
SERVED 1T.
The occupation and administra-
tion of Japan is going to be a task of
Herculean proportions, of tremen-
dous difficulties and of grave danger.
It is going to extend over an in
definite and undoubtedly a very long
period of time.
1t is going to require an occupy
ing force of great size, fully equipped
for war and ready for war.
In foct, the occupation of Japan

THERE will be a constant and

among the japanese.
There will be continuous intrigue,
and sporadic if not organized re
sistance.

MANY CASUALTIES.

dated and subdued people, although
they are completely beaten and
conquered and Inundated people.
They are vengeful people, with
an ingrained instinct for treachery;
and these national characteristics
will be intensified by the enormity
OF the national disgrace that has
come upon them.

conservation of our minerals as well as
contributing to the future security of our
economic structure. II would serve4ato
stabilize the production and marketing OF
metals and also to maintain a reserve for
future emergency.
Conservation of the soil is needed to
obtain greater productivity from the
acres under cultivation, and also to ex-
pand the area of tillable and disable lands.
In OUR western country we depend in
Il large measure, upon the public lands
for grazing of food animals-cattle, sheep
and hogs. Our herds have increased dur
ing the last several years but to offset
this the nations population has increased,
and the ranges have lost, in proportion,
their potentiality.
The west supplies a great part of the
nations animal foodstuffs and unless
these ranges are conserved and properly
developed we cannot expect to meet the
increased demands.
Methods of reseeding the ranges, so
that the more favorable grasses of the
most nutritious kinds can be developed, is
a great step in the right direction.
Reclamation of our semiarid lands is
necessary adjunct to conservation.
At Boulder Dam, Grand Coulee, the
great Sacramento Valley, Tennessee Val
ley and in many other places these prof.
ects have been worth their investment and
have brought to cultivation hundreds of
thousands of new acres, of new land
The future need, however. should see
this activity continued and expanded SO
that all sections of the nation will derive
benefits.
THE SUBJECT OF UNDERGROUND
WATER EXPLORATION, AS AN M
PORTANT ALLIED NATURAL RE-
SOURCE, CONCERNS OUR ENTIRE
NATION. TO THE ARID AND SEMI
ARID WEST, IT CARRIES GREAT M
PORT.
These underground water reserves are
often of large extent and capable of serv-
ing vast areas This phase of agricultural
conservation has great merit and should
be carried on in a broader field.
Science has likewise worked wonders
with the oil we recover from beneath the
surface and through intense and constant
research has found new ways of bringing
greater efficiency out of every drop of oil
used in our modern mechanical structure.
IN EVALUATING our physical re-
sources we must not lose sight of other
resources which are equally important to
our national existence | speak of the need
for a strong moral determination to keep
alive our greatest of all resources-the
democratic way Of life.
As Americans we must strive 10 bring
our government back to the people. first
by insisting upon a decentralization Of
power now lodged in the national admin
istration. and second, by arousing our
people to the realization that they are
part of, rather than an adjunct to their
government.

beginning and for Uery long time
Oith an implocabie enemy.
Only the utmost resourcefulness
and vigilance, exercised under COM
pulsion for patience and Justice
which the japanese will neither ap.
preciate nor understand, will prevent
an era of violence and bloodshed.
This tremendously difficult and
dangerous task calls for a supreme
commander in fact as we'll as in name.
It calls for a commander with
complete and unerring knowledge of
the instincts and capacities of the
japanese for deceit and treachery.
It calls for an understanding and
awareness of japanese intrigue and
trickery.
a ND since this is not to be bar
barian occupation, in the manner
of the ancient Romans or of the
modern Germans or of the japanese
themselves, but an American occupa-
tion having restoration of order and
establishment of permanently
peaceful and productive way of life
as it's objectives, it calls for a veri.
table genius in command and ad.
ministration.
All of these essential qualifca-
tions for the supreme command in
the Pacific are abundantly possessed
by Gen. Macarthur.
America is fortunate in his
availability and appointment, for his
S U P E R LATIVE MILITARY
LEADERSHIP and administrative
judgment will unquestionably save
many American lives during the
occupation - and America has al
ready spent far too many lives in the
Pacific war
Even Japan is fortunate, for Gen.
Macarthur has infinite WISDOM
and passion for JUSTICE as we'll
as a genius for military leadership,
and these things mean peace for
Japan-an enforced peace, of course,
in the beginning but eventually
fruitful peace if the japanese people
themselves desire and accept it.

San Francisco. Aug. 2S-tUP)- The Japanese Domei news agency reported today that an extraordin- ary session of the Japanese diet will convene Sept, 3 and 3. The broadcast gave no details of the session. It was recorded by EGG. Previous Tokyo reports said that Japanese parliamentary elements had been demanding that the diet be summoned to deal with Japan's critical problems arising out of the surrender.
 To Seek New Life Japanese propaganda was taking the line that Japan must stamp out ignorance and master the secrets of science and mass-production in or der to take her place again in the world.
 The Domei dispatch, beamed to the American zone and monitored here by the EGG, said informed quarters" disclosed the government would introduce no bills at the forthcoming session but would con- centrate on clarifying the circum- stances leading to the end of the war and driving home to the nation the stark reality that Japan has been completely defeated" Efforts also will be directed. the broadcast said, ''to promoting free- dom of beech and rallying the en- tire nation to the Herculean task of rebuilding Japan on new basis"

Reds Split

London, Aug. 23.-(UP)-S Soviet press dispatches today flatly re- jected the contention of the western Allies that Bulgaria's election law is unfair as an appeal from King Michael of Romania posed a ticklish new problem for the Big Three Pow CTS.
 The Soviet news agency Tass in a broadcast from Moscow quoted a commentary in the government newspaper Izvestia as describing the Bulgarian election law as "the most democratic the Bulgarian people ever had"
 Allied Farley
 Both the United States and Bril- tain have sent official representa- tations to Bulgaria over the forth coming elections, Britain saying curtly that the results of the vot- ing would be rejected because of the undemocratic character of the law under which it will be held.
 GA dispatch from Istanbul said that American warnings regarding the election had created a political crisis in Bulgaria. It quoted reports of continuous meetings being or ganized by the government, which the Bulgarian people refused to at- tend.)
