Japan's day is rapidly draw
ing to a close.
Russia's entry into the war
coming on top of the advent OF
the atomic bomb with its awful
powers of humiliation, place
Nippon in a position where she
must surrender quickly Or sui
fer destruction. The Oriental
mind is inscrutable to the west
ern world, but even so one
would expect the Japanese war
lords to surrender forthwith II
they possess even a modicum OF
sense.
Moscow's declaration Of war
represents a mastery psychology
ical coup. First came the atom
ic bomb on Hiroshima, destroy
ing that great city and, as the
Japs themselves say, killing
every living thing. There fol-
lowed the Soviet block-buster in
the form of war which today is
tearing into both sides of Jap
ans Manchurian stronghold.
And finally, we have today's
successful atomic bomb attack
against the great port of Naga-
saki.
NO HOPE LEFT
There's nothing for japan to
do but surrender-or commit
national hara-kiri. Now that we
have the facts before us, il is
clear that these events are the
result of careful and astute
planning over a considerable Pc
riod. The Big Three apparently
put the finishing touches on it
at Potsdam. No wonder Presi-
dent Truman was anxious TO
hurry back home and cancelled
plans for a European visit.
Of course Japan was well on
the road to defeat before the
atomic bomb was brought into
action. It was only question
of how much time it would take
to finish the job. The first den,-
onstration of the bomb made it
clear that if we used it indis-
criminately, we could wipe out
Japan in a very short time.
UNPREDICTABLE
However, there always has
been the possibility that the
madness of the Japanese war
lords might impel them to try
to continue the war on the con-
tinent even after Tokyo had
surrendered. But Russia's en-
trance into the war has render
ed any such scheme impossible
of execution. The sum and SUBJ
stance of the Japanese position
is neatly summarized for us by
Secretary of State Byrnes:
There is still time-but little
time-for the Japanese to save
themselves from the destruction
which threatens them"
So far as Russia Is concerned,
the Japs of course were expect
ing this development and we're
ready for it. They have for
many weeks been moving troops
from southern China northward
for the very obvious purpose of
getting ready for possible
Red attack on Manchuria.
POWERFUL ARMY
. The Japanese have formidable
forces pitted against the enemy.
They have in Manchuria their
Kwantung Army of some $780,
600 men, representing the fin
est troops they possess. In ad-
dition there are, according to
the latest figures, about $4,000
more Japs in northern China.
It should be remembered, too,
that they have concentrated
many of their war industries in
Manchuria, even moving num-
erous plants from the Japanese
mainland.
With Russia in the war, Jap
an now is surrounded, creating

plans.
 Another vigorous discussion oyer war plans took place at Quebec in the summer of 1943, at which time Gen. Marshall stood up be- fore the General Staffs of both nations and vigorously rebuked Field Marshal Sir Allen Brooke, British Chief of Staff, for per- mitting publication of the appoint ment of Lord Louis Mountbatten to command the Burma campaign.
 After the Quebec Conference, Churchill came to Washington, spent several days at the White House and asked that Gen. Wede- meyer be appointed U. S. aid and advisor to Lord Mountbatten. Churchill emphasized that he wanted the best young general in the American Army to help Mount batten in the Burma campaign. He did not emphasize the fact that Wedemeyer has also been the chief opponent to British war plans and they would like to get him out of Washington.
 Wedemeyer was specialist on

city should take care of these weeds along the sidewalk"
 Irving was referring to strip of sidewalk that runs parallel to West Van Horn Road on the north side of the Truman estate, where in order to pull the weeds, he has to stand on the edge of the street.
 However, this was not all of Irving'S troubles. He complained that before the President arrived m Independence, Mrs. Truman had asked him to Whitewash the base ment. But workmen, then painting on the outside of the house, warned that he had better not do it or he would get in trouble with the painters union.
 However. Irving, no great be- liever in unions, waited until the painters left for the day and then whitewashed the basement.
 Irving says he does not intend to leave Mrs Truman in the lurch. He IS going to find somebody else to cut the lawn, then he will turn ln his resignation Working for in- portant folks holds no glamor for Harrison Irving. It's the wages that count.

Germany. He had lived in Ger many, knew many top-ranking Nazi generals, was familiar with their strategy. However, Roosevelt bowed to Churchill and Wedemeyer went to India.
 However, Roosevelt did not bow to Churchill when the Prime Min ister adroitly suggested that Mar shall, the man who wanted the cross-channel invasion, be placed in command of that invasion. Other U. s. military men immedi- ately advised Roosevelt that this would take Marshall away from the overall command of the U. $. Army, so he would have nothing to say about supplies and troops to the Italian theatre, the Pacific theatre, etc. They urged that this was only a Churchillian move to clip the wings of the man who with Wedemeyer, chiefly talked back to Churchill in war strategy meetings.
 So the Marshall transfer, though it leaked to the press, was never made.
 U. s. war chiefs believe that Labor Prime Minister Clement Att lee, though a major in the last war, will not consider himself a military expert, as Churchill did and will be much more cooperative than his stormy, delightful, domi- neering predecessor.

HOW LONG?

Japanese Government leaders making frantic efforts, through propaganda, to their people that all is well in the homeland; that defenses of the islands are stury and strong that American air and sea forces have been virtually unopposed only because Tokyo has secret plans which will foil any invasion effort.
 Perhaps there are grains of truth in the boasts. It is hardly possible to believe that the elaborate enemy military and naval organizations have been completely put out of business although recent events would tempt such beliefs. But the most dour Allied observers forced to the conclusion that attacking strength.
 If Japan had defense units to spare, she most certainly would have thrown some of them against recent fleet and units which have come screaming down from the skies and roaring in from the seas. Yet communiques from the battle lines tell that almost opposition has been encountered; that the opposition which was forthcoming was extremely weak and ineffective
 It is natural to believe-and of that opn- ion-that the Nps holding what remains of their original strength for final showdown the beaches pointed out before that their last efforts will be the most fanatical they yet have attempted But days and weeks pass their powers of resistance being sapped. Japan cannot defend herself today she might have done two months ago. Our air has to that
 Another reason for believing that the Japs are the end of their string lies in their traditional devotion to face-saving. The present government is

CHURCHILL SUCKED U. $. MILITARY

Though they admired his great force of character and revelled in his wit, Winston Churchills pass ing as Prime Minister brought nc great regret from top U. s. Army and Navy strategists.
 Too many times they felt they were overruled by Churchill re- garding war plans. Too many times they left military meetings with the fear that Roosevelt was too much swayed by Churchill's dominating personality and charm.
 1 Some of the secret battles waged between Churchill and U. s. gen. erals and admirals can now be told. One of the most important was Churchill's adroit move tc transfer Gen. George Marshall out of the job of Chief of Staff An other was to transfer Gen. Al Wedemeyer out of Washington. The latter succeeded; the first failed.
 First military clash with Chur- chill took place at Casablanca in January, l943. Churchill wanted to strike from North Africa against the soft underbelly of the Axis through the Balkans. The U. s General Staff wanted to invade on the shortest road to Berlin-across the English Channel to Normandy It was not question of invading at once, but of beginning prepara- tions at once for invasion, since it takes months to prepare for a major invasion.
 The argument lasted for hours Churchill stood out for the Bal kans. He was almost unmovable Finally he played his trump card He announced that Britain could supply only 30 per cent of the troops against TO per cent U. s. troops in any cross-channel inVa- sion. Britain, he said, was not willing to lose the seed" of her manhood.
 Since 1t would have been too long to transport enough American troops across the North Atlantic for an early cross-channel invasion, compromise invasion of Italy was agreed We already had the troops In North Africa to handle Italy and so did the British.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline

WEDNESDAY,, AUGUST 1

Adverse planetary aspects are ac- tive today but there is a promising sign for labor and industry.
 HEART AND HOME
 Women should conserve their phy- sical forces under this configuration Complaints should be sternly re- pressed. The family meals may be restricted but there will be plenty to eat.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 Transition from war to civil ac- tivities will engage chief attention in Autumn planning. Despite ex- treme care to prevent unemployment many idle men and women will en- joy Summer leisure. Inclination to reject work will be strong among war weary Service folk.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 Increased crime will be widely de- plored in the next few weeks and communities will fail to realize that they have not cleaned up under  world centers or concentrated on evils that lead to lawbreaking.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 Frictions among districts in Ger many will multiply, according to the seers. The. five great powers will have many perplexing problems dangerous to lasting peace.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year that is for tunate for domestic ties and bank accounts.
 Children born on this day probab- ly will be active and ambitious but inclined to rely too long upon par ents for their support.
