FRENCH EXTEND OLIVE
BRANCH IN SYRIAN ROW
Clos. Angeles Times.)

CLOS Angeles Ilmes.)
The conciliatory spirit of the French
Consultative Assembly and Gen. de
Gaulle in offering to settle directly with
Great Britain the Syria-Lebanon dispute
seems worthy of all praise. This ap-
parently is an acceptable proposal alter
native to either the Americana British
plan of three-power conference, which
the French have rejected, or the French
plan of a five-power conference, which
the American and British governments
have rejected.
The resolution of the French Assem-
bly, recognizes Syria and Lebanon as in
dependent, sovereign states, which is a
long step forward. 1t was the French
action in sending troops into the two
countries without asking leave, in effect
treating them as if they were still under
French mandate, that precipitated the
regretable clash and forced British inter-
vention.
The hot words that followed were al
most as regrettable as the conflict. The
statement of Prime Minister Churchill
that Britain neither claims nor seeks any
special advantage in the two states ap-
parently quieted French suspicious of
British motives and led to calmer con-
sideration in Paris.

BLOODY OKINAWA
(San Diego Union)

1t is doubtful if the history of war,
with the possible exception of certain
conflicts described in the Old Testament,
can produce a parallel to the desperation
of the Japanese resistance on Okinawa
or such terrific toll of defending army.
In 80 days of fighting for this strategic
base, out of japanese force of some 90,-
600, official reports show that 81 ,343 of
the defenders have been killed, while
only 1855 have been taken prisoner. This
comes about as near total annihilation as
possible 1t is known that hundreds,
perhaps thousands, of resisting japanese
have chosen suicide to surrender. 1t is
also known that their most efficient
form of resistance has been the kami-
zake (suicide) flyers, who are acknowl-
edged to have inflicted the major losses
suffered by our naval forces.
The terrific price paid by the enemy
in his effort to hold Okinawa is the best
testimony to the Importance of the island
to Japan. This is confirmed by the ad-
mission of Tokyo that it's loss puts des-
perate situation up to the homeland
Equal testimony to the value of Okinawa
is read in the heavy losses incurred by
our forces in this most desperate strug-
gle of a series of campaigns character
lied by tremendous expenditure OF men.
The final victory at Okinawa to be
achieved by the complete determination
of Japanese in a few small pockets,
probably will be recorded as the definite
beginning of the march to Tokyo.

BiddIe Opposes
Ickes Move on
Tidal Oil Lands

WASHINGTON, June q. UPl-
Attorney General Francis Biddle
opposes recommendation by Sec
retary of Interior Harold L. Ickes
that the federal government file an
original suit with the U. S. Supreme
Court to acquire title to submerged
oil lands off California.
Biddle said prosecution Of the
suit through lower federal courts
with litigants taking appeals To
higher courts-the usual procedure
would help to keep the case free
of legal error.
Secretary of Interior Harold L
Ickes has recommended that the
government ask the supreme court
to make an original ruling in the
suit. Ickes proposed that the gov
ernment's test suit in the U. S. dis
trict court at Los Angeles be dis
missed and the case taken directly
before the supreme court.
NBiddle said that such a procedure
would save no time and would be
like putting all our eggs in one
basket"
The government is seeking title
to lands off the west coast contain
ing an estimated 100000, 900 barrels
OF oil. These so-called marginal
lands are between the point of low
tide and the three mile off-shore
limit.
The government seeks to stop
operations Of the Pacific Western
Oil Corp, which is extracting oil
under a lease issued by California.
The federal government claims title
to the submerged lands through
by Mexico.
Attorneys general Of as states have
protested the governments title
claims to congress.

! foundation stone CT this charter
That principle is the guiding spirit
by which it must be carried out
not by words alone but by contin-
ued concrete acts of good will.
There is time for making
plans-and there is a time for
action. The time for action is
now. Let us, therefore, each in
his own nation and according to
his own way, seek immediate ap-
proval of this charter-and make
it living thing.
shall send this charter to the
United States senate at once. 1 am
sure that the overwhelming senti-
ment of the people of my country
ard of their representatives in the
senate is in favor of immediate rati-
fication.
COOPERATION STRESSED
A just and lasting peace cannot
be attained by diplomatic agree
rent alone, or by military coopera-
ticn alone. Experience has shown
how deeply the seeds OF war are
planted by economic rivalry and by
social injustice. The charter recog-
nizes this fact for it has provided
for economic and social cooperation
as we'll 1t has provided for this
cooperation as part OF the very
heart of the entire cmpact.
1t has set up machinery of inter-
national cooperation which men and
nations of good will can use to help
correct economic and social causes
for conflict
Artificial and uneconomic trade
barriers should be removed-to the
end that the standard of living OF
as many people as possible through
cut the world may be raised. For
freedom from want is one OF the
basic four freedoms toward which
we all strive. The large and power
full nations of the world must as
sumo leadership in this economic
field as in all others.
MORE TO FOLLOW
Under this document we have
good reason to expect the framing
of an international bill of rights,
acceptable to all the nations involv-
ed. That bill of rights will be as
much a part of international life
as our own bill of rights is a part
of our constitution. The charter is
dedicated to the achievement and
observance of human rights and
fundamental freedoms Unless we
can attain those detectives for all
men and women everywhere-with-
out regard to race, language or reli-
gion-we cannot have permanent
peace and security.
With this charter the world can
when all worthy human beings
may be permitted to live decently
as free people.
The world has learned again that
nations, like individuals, must know
the truth if they would be free
must read and hear the truth, leaIn
and teach the truth.
We must set up an effective agen-
cy for constant and thorough inter-
change of thought and IDEAS. For
there lies the road to a better and
more tolerant understanding among
nations and among peoples.
All Fascism did not die with Mus
solini Hitler is finished-but the
seeds spread by his disordered mind
have firm root in too many fanati-
cal brains. It is easier to remove
tyrants and destroy concentration
camps than it is to kill the ideas
which gave them birth and strength

Poor Digestion? G1 c. :.
Headachy? 90
Sour or Upset? %
1ired-listIess? 90

Do you feel headachy and upset due to
poorly digested food? To feel cheerful
and happy again your food must be
digested properly.
Each day, Nature must produce about
two pints of vital digestive juice to
help digest your food. If Nature fails,
your food may remain undigested-
leaving you headachy and irritable.
Therefore, you must increase the flow
of this digestive juice. Carter's Little
Liver Pills increase this flow quickly
often in as little as 80 minutes. And,
you're on the road to feeling better.
Don't depend on artificial aids to
counteract indigestion-when Carter's
Little Liver Pills aid digestion after Ma
ture's own order. Take Carter's Little
Liver Pills as directed. Get them at any
drugstore. Only 25s.
