the Immigrants was servility. Only in a com.
paratively few cases we're they overbearing
They made good house servants, for the most
part. quick to learn by imitation and always
obsequious.
Those who entered California and Stanford
Universities were good pupils, careful to obey
campus as well as class room rules. II they
INDUCED in student folies it was behind the
screen and seldom came to faculty attention.
Even those who took up farming or fishing
engaged in their callings quietly and in the
attitude Of the Under dog.
1t was all a part of the insidious program
already well developed in Tokyo-the pro-
gram designed to prepare the way for the
war that is just closing by Japan's surrender
aboard the United States battleship Missouri
The house servants were learning American
customs and manner of living. The pupils
were studying engineering with especial ref
erence to American defenses and industries.
The farmers were studying the lay of the
land, the fishermen the lay of the coast.
Thus when the time came to strike at Pearl
Harbor as an initial step in Japan's war for
conquest of eastern Asia and for domination
OF this country, the Japanese Army and Navy,
were differed to a large extent by japanese
educated in their separate callings either at
our universities or by working here for years
in humber occupations.
The point to be emphasized is that, with
this past experience OF Japanese humility,
there is no reason to be surprised at the
servile tone Of present Japanese communica-
tons to the Supreme Commander or the at.
titude OF all but few japanese militarists
who have broken with the old standard OF
behavior. 1t does not show contrite spirit
but is intended to deceive the conquering pow
ers while the low-bowing Japanese plot new
mischief. After years of training the Japa-
nese show buck teeth while carrying sword
under their kimonas.

Nurses Aides Needed

BY way of preface we call attention to the
fact that while the war has ended, "dura.
ton" has not That is to say wounded and
sick members Of the armed forces are still
filling hospitals and civilian men, women and
children are becoming i'll and needing nurses
With this truism stated, it is to be added
that yesterday was to have witnessed the in.
itiation of new Nurses Aide class at James
Walker Memorial Hospital and only three ap.
plicants were on hand instead of the halt
hundred needed.
What is to become of the citys ailing in.
habitants if they cannot have nurses, once
they hospitalized? 1t is Up to the women
Of Wilmington to give the answer.
Yes, the war is over now Hostilities have
ceased. japan is licked. But the need for
nurses has not passed The general let-down
everybody felt when the "cease firing order
went forth may not have fully worn off. 1t
may require few days or more for it to dis
appear.
In the hope that this is SO, another call is
issued, and September announced for an
other attempt to launch a good-sized class.
Applicants may obtain all information as to
hours of service, education required, age linn
its and whatnot from Miss Augusta Futchs,
at James Walker Memorial Hospital.

tend to practice it, is scarcely more than
myth in any section of southern Europe, IN
Guiding Bulgaria. The Balkan countries are
so accustomed to being led by the nose and
doing what the men in power dictate that
the principle Of free election has not sunk in,
nor is it likely to do so for many years,
if at all.
One Of the chief detectives of this recent
war against aggression has been to give all
peoples opportunity to chose their own form
Of government, but from what has been going
on in the Balkans and only in slightly less
degree in some Of the major capitals, the
right of self determination has already been
thrown overheard.
Great Britain, for example, will be back
in Hong Kong and Singapore before long. The
Dutch will hang on to the Netherlands East
Indies and France Indo-China with all the
tenacity they possess.
The peoples Of The areas will not have
self-determination when the war n1ists have
blown away. Why should the peoples Of Bal
kan countries be forced to take action them
selves when they have never learned the rudi.
ments Of self government, as long as other
greater and larger regions are to be but
colonies OF stronger powers?
1t had been hoped, when the war was young
and our leaders were dealing in ideals instead
of realities, that democracy might become the
prevailing political faith and backbone in
countries so long ruled by despots. But since
we are again getting down to eternal ver:ties
and several of our great Allies are preparing
to exercise dominion in sections far from
their capitals it appears only reasonable that
Russia should have equal opportunity to Use
its influence in regions close to it's frontiers.

Struggling Upward, by Horatio
Alger, Jr., with an Introduction

nv Russell Grouse Grown: S3).
Horatio Alger, who produced
books that delighted boys for three
generations, is being revived
today. The writer, who led whole
series of youthful heroes down the
road to inevitable success, became
extinct-except in the memories OF
oldsters-when airplanes and auto.
mobiles and space guns provided
new themes for boy writer's in
place of runaway horses and
drowning heiresses.
Now comes an omnibus volume
Of Alger tales--four stories which
the publishers say represent the
varied talent Of an author whose
books are reputed to have sold
20 millions copies and rebuttal to
the ancient cry that when you had
read one Alger story you had read
them all.
Russell Grouse, who evidently
liked Mr.. Ayers products in his
own youth. contributes an intro
duction, although he admits that
he never grew up as an Alger boy
and that Alger undoubtedly would
have disapproved of him because
he smokes and does other things
not to be encountered in the life
Of any Alger hero. ~.

Each pigeon carried small con-

Russo-China Agreement

When Russia came into the war against
Japan the prevailing idea in most uniformed
circles was that she had her eye on "spoils.
This was finally overcome by the announce.
ment that Russia had been committed to take
a hand in Japan's defeat long before, and
not only a few days in advance, OF Tokyo's
petition for peace. When Stain sent his ST.
Der. an armies across the Manchurian border
he was but fulfilling pledge OF long stand
ing.
Now it develops that by the terms of an
agreement signed by T. V. Soong, Chang S
premier, and the Russian foreign commissar,
V. NJ Molotov, on August IA, the Soviets gov
eminent has thrown over the Chinese COM
rnunists and agrees to deal only with the
Chang government for thirty years. Russia
is to withdraw from Manchuria ninety days
after Japan's surrender and henceforth keep
it's hands off China's internal affairs. Dairen
is to be open port, Port Arthur will be
Jointly operated by Russia and China as
naval base and the Chinese Eastern and
Southern Monaghan railroads to be jointly OPP
Grated
From all external appearances it seems
clear that Stain has every intention to play
the game fairly The only doubt that could
be cast upon the arrangement for joint op-
Grafton either of the rail lines or Port Arthur
is that the Russians might revert to the Gust
ON of the Czarist when the Russians,
because Of their greater strength and fore
sight became the dominating not merely the
joint, operating power. And this doubt is dis
counted, if not wholly isspated by the Rus'
sian attitude on agreements with all Allies
in this Second World War.
Stain has been secretive Russia's in
ternal affairs and is we'll within his rights
in so doing But he has kept the faith with
the Allies, among whom China is numbered
We find it difficult to think that he does not
intend to abide by the provisions OF the new
treaty in all details.

Editorial Comment
THE Pillow IN WASHINGTON

1t is good news, we believe, as rejecting
the way in which President Truman is facing
our nations peacetime future, to hear that
he has replaced the model of gun on his
desk at Washington with the model OF pillow.
Mr.. Truman, perhaps, wished to emphasize
this important symbolism. for he is reported
as having called attention to the change, when
members of the reconversion advisory board
this week came into his office. Our President,
OF course, is no stranger to plows and what
they stand for.
The first World War took Harry,S. Truman,
not from Pittsburgh or Detroit, but from a
Jackson County farm. One can guess, then,
that he is thinking now, in time Of reconver-
sion Of jobs and men, of the thousands of
boys who will be coming home to farms,
changing from guns to plows, from ships
decks to corn stubble. The President, one feels
rather certain, will believe as an ex-farmer
that such boys will be the lucky ones-boys
who can come back to acres needing not re-
conversion but more labor instead OF to side
walks which can grow no food and must be
turned into paths to pay envelopes. New
