Japan Looks Ahead
Cincinnati Enquirer

Cincinnati Enquirer
 American amphbious forces already have dem onstrated beyond question their ability to seize island stepping stones on the way to the Japanese home land Our naval forces have shown that it will not be long before they subject the Japanese islands to blockade And meanwhile our air forces now daily even hourly are proving their ability to strike any Japanese center.
 It would greatly simplify the outlook of the war in the Pacific if we could consider the Japanese home islands as the final objective of our drive. They make a very inviting target. Japanese industry is highly concentrated more so than Ger manys It vulnerable to destruction and there IS little that the Japs can do to make it less so.
 For the purposes of final victory, however, We must consider Japan both island and continental power To be sure, the seat of government and nerve center of the Japanese effort is on Honshu, and the reduction of the homeland ruins would strike a well-nigh mortal blow to the Japs. But very assiduously in recent years the little of Nippon have been improving their position in continental Asia Most outstanding, of course, was their seizure and development of Manchuria, with 43 100000 virtual slave laborers Manchura is rich in raw materials, and since Japanese organization of the puppet state it has been iberally sprnkled with industrial esab lshments Korea also has been well deveolped for industrial purposes by the Japs and is particularly rich in natural resources.
 The Japs also have entrenched themselves mili- tarily on the continent of Asia to the extent that many military experts believe the final battles of the Japanese war must be fought there
 Due chiefly to the awesome difficulties of supply and communication which will confront Allied forces in moving in for the kill against Japan the Japs are capable of fighting relatively long war unless they come to realize that they only committing national suicide in the process.

DISCRIMINATION AT SAN FRANCISCO"

While San Francisco delegates at tempted to build framework to carry out the four freedoms of the Atlantic Charter, the minions of Music Dictator James c. Petrillc were defying the right of one of Americas Negro singers to make music recordings if accompanied by white pianist or any other white musicians.
 The Negro, Muddy Ledbetter better known as Lead Belly" is probably the nations most out standing folk singer, has made hun dreds of recordings for the Library of Congress. But in San Francisco Petrillos Musicians Local Union No denied him the right to make recordings with three white musicians ~ Ellis Horne, Squire Girsbach and Paul Lingle
 Ed Moore, president of Local 6 and Secretary Jack Haywood telephoned Petrillo in Chicago to ask whether Ledbetter could play with the three white musicians and got the word No"
 There has been long-standing rule in the San Francisco Bay area that Negro musicians cannot play in public with whites. But

ton can be termed satisfactory It is not an anomaly that business should publish statistics on schooling
 Many persons do not realize that only approxl- mately 56 per adults have an eighth-grade schooling. It is a sad commentary that 6O00O0 men the equivalent of forty Army dvisions-have been rejected for iliteracy that 360000 men signed their first Selective Service registration cards by mark Figures such as these the distance from the goal of high school education or it's equivalent in voca- tional training for all citizens.
 The Chamber of Commerce is interested in better education because higher level means better na- tion Ignorance superstition, bigotry and lack of physical fitness the Four Horsemen that trample the people Of backward nations or backwater areas or so-called modern nations Education leaders lace challenge ill the years ahead The better they meet it. the better nation shall have both economically and culturally.

Local 6 once before stretched this rule to discriminate against Ne groes even to private recordings where the public has no idea who the musicians are, and whether they are black or white.
 The other notable case was that of 64-year- old Willie Bunk" John son, legendary trumpet genius sup posed to have been dead but dis covered working in a cotton field. He was one of the inventors of jazz in New Orleans at the turn of the century, and the teacher of Louis Armstrong. Time Magazine devoted a whole music section to him, but when brought to San Francisco by the Museum of Art, Bunk Johnson was forced to re- turn East after Local 6 ruled on its own interpretations of the four freedoms.

BONDS FOR GRADUATION

With the Seventh War Loan Drive scheduled to be in full swing the time graduation exercises are being held throughout the nation, the Treasury Department suggests that parents relatives and friends can give better gift to the graduates of grade schools, high schools and colleges than war bonds
 This is a suggestion that heartily endorse and believe that most persons will agree is good one. The bond presented gift to the graduate of grade or high school may be the means Of laying the founda- ion for higher education later and the college graduate will welcome a bond strike for the future.
 Bonds for Graduation is the slogan which has been adopted for this feature of the drive and cannot but bring about the sale of a good many bonds.

SUNDAY, MAY 13
 Good aspects appear to overcome adverse planetary influences today The early morning and late even ing hours are benefic.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 Agriculture is under fortunate as- poets which seem to promise good returns for crops this year. There is a sign presaging losses from nat ual causes. Pests in great num- Der are forecast. Lack of manpower on farms will be overcome.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 German war prisoners are to be- come a new problem for Washing ton through the coming summer, when many of them will realize the advantages of living in the United States. Those who have relatives that are lon-time citizens will pre- sent novel difficulties when final enemy scores are settled.

"ARAB GLAMOUR"

Saudi Arabia, which supplies the chief glamour for San Francisco, has sent five of it's top-drawer princes to represent the Arabs of South Arabia-all sons of Ibn Saud, the man from whom Roosevelt said he had learned more about the Jewish problem in five min- utes than in weeks of correspond ence.
 Riding through San Francisco III limousines supplied by the Stan dard Oil Company of California, and striding through hotel lobbies dressed in long-flowing burnooses, they are the chief visual attrac- tion of the conference. The other day as the five Arab princes walked past, nearby lady re- marked: "Oh, they're so fierce, so romantic In perfectly good Eng fish, one of the princes, scarcely turning his head, replied:
 "Tsk, tsk, you should see us on horses, my dear"

 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 Trade and commerce considera- tions will influence representatives of United Nations in peace-table negotiations, certain potents indi- cate. Great changes in long -estap- lished international export and eX- change agreements are prognosti- cated.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 Our acceptance of world responsi- bility when peace is attained will be criticized and opposed. Isolation ideas will be slow to disappear, the seerS predict.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS Certain astrologers who prophesied that the war in Europe would end last year discerned possibilities which were not realized because of lack of concentration among the Allies. Interest in Poland the Bal tic and the Balkans interfered, ac- cording to certain readings of the stars.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year in which pleasant surprises will bring suc- cess and prosperity.
