Forcing the Tide

Japan, left holding the splintered stump of the Axis with Germany's sur render, went through the formality the other day of dropping this remnant of a once-poWerful alliance. And with it went the anti-COmintern agreements with the defunct governments of Italy Germany, Bulgaria and Hungary, and the existing government of Spain. The ceremony, though it caused little interest, was i'm portant in that it marked the end of organized, militant resistance against the spread of communism. And on the day of the ceremony the returns from Frances first postwar elections showed Socialists and Communists winning the majority of municipal offices. These dis similar events seem to fit into the same general picture. We saw in the past 20 years what the fascist nations had to offer in place of communism. We also saw before the war how anti-communist heads of democratic governments, par ticularly in France, weakened and un- dermined democracy. It is small Won- der, then, that the political ground swell In Europe is running to the left.
 This trend brings little joy to most Americans and Britishers, even though the United Kingdoms domestic temper seems more leftishly liberal than ours. Communism hasn't made any appreciable headway in this country largely because the communistic way of life offers less to most of us than the American way. Most Americans however, want the people of other countries to have the government of their choice. Most of us relaize that they have old problems and lnjuSticeS that we know nothing about. And if they want to take Whirl at com munism, socialism or whatever except fascism) we aren't likely to try to divert the ground swell. But it seems that Rus Eia and some of her friends, such as Mar shal Tito, are forcing the tide They are attempting to establish provisional gov garments of communist makeup on a firm, permanent basis without consult ing RuSsias allies
 This is beginning to arouse active oppo- sition in the American and British cap itals, and uneasiness in other friendly governments. And that is a pity, for most of the worlds people admire Rus Eia'S superb fight in this war, and wish her people well. Russia wants and needs friends. The Soviet Union still seems a little unsure. Not long ago it's domestic troubles were aggravated by suspicion and hatred abroad. Now that Russias

Prosperous Defeat

Anyone interested in a peace of ven- geance against Japan will find cold com- fort in an article by Hallet Abend in the June issue of Tomorrow magazine. For it is MT. Abend's contention that a de- feated Japan can prosper without either colonies or heavy industry. And he pro- duces figures to bolster that contention. Fifty years after Japan acquired For mosa, he says, there were only 300,OO0 Japs among the 6,000,OOO inhabitants. Formosa was too hot, the Japs said. After possessing the southern half of Sakhalien for 36 years, there were only 100000 Japs there. Too cold, said the Japs.
 They couldn't kick about the Korean climate, for it's the same as Japan's. Yet Mr. Abend tells us that in 1941, 31 years after Japan grabbed Korea there were only 250,O00 resident Japs among the 24OOOO00 Koreans His obvious point is that the Japs don't have to or want to colonize.
 Heavy industry, MT. Abend tells us, was a new hothouse flower in Japan, brought along by government subsidy. He claims that industries paid taxes of 3 per cent or less, while the peasants were taxed up to 20 per cent to make up the difference Removal of heavy industries, he says, would tighten the taxes by which Japan has been paying for their war. We'd hate to see the Japs get soft berth out of hard peace. But if MT. Abend is right, we may as well make up our minds to take away their colonies and war-making industry and go ahead and let 'em prosper.

Waterbury Checks In

Tl1e Bridgeport Post has editorially urged the New Haven railroad to do something about new passenger stations along the main line in Connecticut in the postwar era. Specifically, Brideport would like a new structure built by the R. R. down there and points out that when competition toughens up after the war is over it may behoove the railroad to present it's best face where potential customers are to be served, the various waiting rooms all along the line.
 AS the Post puts it, In fact most of the towns along the main line need them (stations), with the possible exception of New Haven which has a fairly new station which is also fairly clean and reasonably attractive" Hartford, also, has fairly new station as stations go, although somewhat overshadoWed by the elevated tracks and platforms. Natur- ally Waterbury is left out, because we're not on the main line, but Waterbury can afford to feel that it's railroad station is probably the outstanding one in Con- necticut, main line or spur track.
 When the railroad officials decided to give Waterbury modern station they really exceeded all hopes in both archi- lecture and actual construction. Our depot has been a conspicuous landmark for years. The Chamber of Commerce, as well as the local newspapers, must have answered thousands of inquiries down through the years on the model from which the tower was copied. Water bury servicemen who got to Italy during the European war hoped to visit Sienna for Sienna's bell-toWer (campanile) pro vided inspiration for Waterburys rail- road station tower
 At last reports Sienna, Italy, had not suffered the fate of so many European cities-reduction to rubble by bombs and artillery fire. The bell-toWer is re- ported as intact for which we are glad And countless Waterburians have been glad down the years that the railroad gave us such an imposing edifice as that which graces the head of Grand street. At least we will not have to join Bridge port or other main line stops in petition ing for new depot.

Bigger and Better

In March 300 Superfortresses devas- tated IS square miles in the heart of Tokyo That was the biggest fleet of Superforts ever to participate in a mis- sion, and the biggest raid to date on Japan.
 May 10 an armada of 400 Superforts blasted targets on Honshu, largest Jap island and site of Tokyo, Yokohama, Nagoya and most of the biggest Nip ponese cities. May IA, more than 500 B-29s dropped on Nagoya more than one incendiary for every one of that city's million-and-a-quarter residents.
 Each strike is bigger, 300, 400, 800 planes. Each demonstrates better the terrific bombing power we now can loose with impunity against the innermoSt heart of Japan. Each suggests more convincingly the terrible price the little brown men must pay-or get out Of the war.

He had been super intendent of the composing room until the time of his retirement, and like many men who followed this trade has a keen interest and a lively appreciation Of all manner of affairs including sports.

THE BABY'S FEET


 A reader says her baby is years and 4 months old and the shoe salesman told her the baby's feet are fiat and needed arch supports. The salesman had some arch sup ports made by shoemaker to his specifications and told her to be sure the baby wore them constant ly.
 Doesn't it sound silly?
 If the reader had taken the baby to a clothing shop to get a coat, and the saleswoman had found that the baby had spinal curvature, would the gullible mother have per- mitted the saleswoman to have spinal brace made to her speclfl- cations. for the baby to wear con- stantly?
 Having invested in the profes- sional services of the shoe clerk and the arch props made to his specifications the prodigal mother took time out to think bit. She decided to consult-no, indeed, not this mother. What, consult phy- sician, with all that cash burning a hole in her pocketbook? She con- suited two physicians. The idea be- ing to check on No 1 with No. 2s diagnosis, opinion or advice. It is the method a lot of Wisecraces use.
 The first doctor, she continues, examined the babys feet, told her there was nothing wrong with them, advised her to discard the arch supports and, when she bought shoes for the baby, to select soft flexible oxfords instead of high shoes or footwear of any kind that is rigid or stiff under the feet or serves as a bandage or support around the ankles Gas do the tight uppers of high shoes or boots).
 The doctor suggested some sim pie exercises to strengthen the baby's feet. The baby thinks the exercises great fun.
 That would be enough for you and me-but who are we to raise an eyebrow or shake head at the extravagances of the upper classes? but there is still the second doc tor to entertain us. The second doctor said the baby's feet were all right, but he gave the customer her moneys worth by disagreeing with the first doctor about the type of shoes. He sort of took the wind out of the lady docs sails by asserting that all children should wear high shoes until they are six years of age.
 Well, that left Mrs. Gotrocks in what you might call-a what would you call it?-predicament, plight, quandary, dilema? So she hit upon happy solution for her problem. She wrote to this department and received this answer: The less foot wear baby or child wears the bet ter
 When stockings or shoes or both are necessary. the less the child wears, with due regard for protec- ton against cuts, bruises or punc- lures, the better.

How could parents get through the tragedies of war today if they did not believe in the invisible arms.

Justice Jackson wrote his opinion 2 to U. s. Preparations Chief Ed Pauley, stating that in his opinion compulsory German labor should not be used to rebuild France and Russia unless they have been con- Vlcted of war crimes.
 Tt is not my business what is to be done with reparatiOns,' Jackson wrote, but this would largely destroy the moral posi- ton of America in this war .. .. compulsory labor" he continued, should he required only for con-
 victed war criminals"
 Jackson went on 10 point out that German labor drifting out of Russian concentration camps in the future would tell tales of hGrror," which, even if eXagger- ed, would arouse slarp cOndem- nation in the United States" He urged, therefore, that German labor not be used for separations until they had been convicted of war crimes. He indicated that members of the Gestapo and the SS Elite Guard undoubtedly were war criminals as class, but that every member of the NaZi party might not be classified as war criminal
 ED PAULEY HESITATES
 Following Justice Jacksons bombshell, hurried meeting was called in Secretary Morgenthau's office, attended by Ed Pauley. Assistant Secretary of State Will Clayton, the Army, Navy, PEA, and other interested government agencies. Secretary Morgenthau vigorously protested this new de- velopmenJ. It was pointed out by some that the use of German prisoner labor had been agreed to at Yalta by President Roosevelt himself and, therefore, could not be changed
 If we have to wait for the
 criminals before we can get
 German labor" suggested Rep aratiOns Chief Fauley, i've may
 have to wait a year. Mean while, there may not be enough Germans to repair the damage in France and Russia
 Pauley also made the point that he had been charged by the Presi- dent with the handling of repaTa- tions and, therefore, would have to make the final decision himself after his arrival in Europe. After further discussion however, Paul ley agreed to accept Justice Jack sons opinion in principle, namely, that only convicted war crimin- als could be used as prisoner la bor. This leaves the whole ques- ton pretty much up in the air.
 However, it has been hinted that Justice Jackson will endeaVor to ind;ct groups of Germans as class. In other words, he may try the Gestapo as group, not individually, and decide that every member of the GeStapo automatically is a war criminal. This probably will be done with Hitler's SS Elite Corps. Whether a blanket indictment will also be lodged against the Nazi party re- mains to be seen.

Selected Poem
STRAWBERRY PATCH

STRAWBERRY PATCH (Ama Robson Higbee in The Christian Science
 Monitor) On this new land so lately fenced and claimed, So lately marked as home, I set each vine With green-wse fingers and With prayerful heart, Nor with a hope of harvest that is mine, For here I set more than berry patch; In after years perhaps child will lean To find the scarlet berries growing here Wind-coo and sun-rpe, in scaloped green. It was thus that with eager fingertips First lifted springs wild sweetness to my lips.
