Thunderbolts soon after their initia-
ton into the 18th, the pilots were

time, during the last generation, the
big lnduStrialistS were running the
country. But never the people.
Japan was-and still is - fascist
all the way. Not only in her govern
tnent by dictatorship. Not only in
her belief that the Japanese are a
superior race" But also in the al
most complete lack of personal lib
critics, of free Speech-in the tight
censorship, and the secret police
in the super-fascist idea that the
Individual human being means
nothing, except as a slave of the
state.
A Japanese leader once laughed
at the idea that his country was
initiating Hitler and Mussolini,
They are initiating u.s." he said.
"They are introducing methods of
government and of social order that
We have found workable for CEN
turies."
That is why the people of Japan
don't give their rulers as much
trouble as the Germans gave Hitler
in his early years. They are used to
tight discipline. They expect it.
They don't need the flood of home
front propaganda that Hitler uses,
or the heavy fist of terrorism. True,
the Japanese police round up peo-
pie suspected of having dangerous
thoughts. But few Japanese have
ever learned to think dangerously,
and those who do have don't dare
to say what they're thinking. So
Hirohito'S prisons are not as full as
Hitler'S concentration camps. And
there are almost no Japanese po-
itical refugees.
Eight Corners Under One Roof
The most fascist of all the ideas
nation can have is the idea that she
must rule the world. For generations
there have been men in Germany
who believed their nation should do
that; when Hitler came to power in
1888 he made that belief official.
In Japan, the idea of world con-
quest has been official for twenty
six hundred years. Lord Hotta ex-
pressed it eighty years ago. Later
japanese officials have brought the
official policy up to date.
A former Japanese War Minister,
General Araki, wrote In 1888:
ITO conquer the world and en-
brace the universe as our state
has been our traditional policy. If
the actions of any of the powers are
not conducive to our imperialism,
our blows shall descend on that
power"
The General was simply saying
I'VE are going to run the earth and
we'll slap down anybody who stands
in our way" The Japanese have a
slogan for this IIAKKO ICHIU. It
means 'eight corners under one
roof" The eight corners are the
earth. The roof is Japan.
A Japanese Foreign Minister
named Matsuoka wrote:
Japan should take over the
management of the continent on a
large scale, prop agate HAKKO
ICHIU and the way of the Emperor,
and then extend it all over the
world"

Wage Bottom of 65 Cents Asked

Washington, D. C.-The annual National Labor Conference adopt ed resolution unanimously rec ommending that "a1l states move as rapidly as possible to extend the benefits of legal minimum wage rates of not less than 65 cents an hour to all workers"
 The committee on state regula- tion of wages, hours and home work proposed that an effective minimum wage law should estab- fish a basic minimum for women and minors and that no man should be paid less than the minimum.
 It also recommended that provi- sion for raising the statutory minf- mum upon recommendation of in- dustry wage boards representing employers, workers and the public be approved. Both proposals also were adopted unanimously.
 In a section on equal pay for men and women, the conference recognized that during the transi- tion from war to peace employ ment opportunities would decrease, resulting in greater competition for jobs.

her about. Another, OF course, was
his own marriage 10 her, and what
she wanted to do with it, In Holly
wood, night clubs seemed the likeliest
place TO find her and he pursued the
search vigorously and for several
weeks. he said later. That kind of
searching is expensive, il seems, and
he had just about given it up when
a bit of luck came his way.
He met her by chance, on the
street, but their conversation settled
nothing about their marriage or its
dissolution, he says. She was going
out of town for two weeks, she told
him, and when she left he moved
into her home.

and Ann Marie married jerome
Mark, a first sergeant prominent in

later marriages came to light that
the earlier one became generally
known.
The problem was then: which of
the four spouses would bring suit to
get the marriages untangled, and
whether the suits would be for big
amy or divorce or for annulments.
Last January Sturgcs, just out of
the Marine Corps with a medical dis
charge, went TO Hollywood to talk
things over with Ann Marie. He had
given her $500 TO get an annulment,
he says, from Mark. She got the an
nulment last March in Brooklyn.
