Salute VI
BY LEWIS II. WALTER

/ Credit the engineer ana the
fireman on the railroad train that
passes the Detroit race track at
s p. m. with a big assist on the

They came past the track with
the locomotive whistle tied down

Arthur's appointment 10 accept
the Jap surrender had been an

Star Spangled Banner were just
fading away.
The crowd of 1887 was just be-
ginning to wind out of the stands
reading their late extras when the
( locomotive whistle caught the
fans ears.
The racing crowd answered the
whistle with a roar as hoarse and
Shrill as any the train could steam
up. The fans waved triumphantly
to the white-capped engineer, who
leaned from his cab and returned
the salute.

The fans will be back today,

"Tve got a good thing In the

Track officials said racing
would continue following the ex-
ample of baseball, other sports
and amusements.
There will be a holiday at the

\ Maze of Contradictions

States is indisputably the HIGHER
of the two authorities.
In this instance, he is much better
informed-not only about the real
character of Russian aggression, but
also about the American moral in
terest in the matter.
Mr.. Byrnes speaks fatuously OF
Russia's desire for "more friendly
association" with her neighbors.
Russia has seized the territories
of her neighbors, and incorporated
them into the Soviet Union.
Mr.. Byrnes speaks naively of the
Russian profession that lit does not
wish to force the Soviet system on
It's neighbors. I"
Russia has tyrannically estab
lished her own sovereignty over vast
portions of the territory and popula-
tion of some of her weaker neighbors,
and has set up puppet regimes of her
own creation in others.
MR. -BYRNES speaks irrationally
4'A of the Monroe Doctrine and our
own Pan American relationships as
purported PARALLELS of the Rus
sian policies and objectives in
Europe.
Russia has DESTROYED the
free governments of her neighbors,
and has EDUCATED AND
SLAUGHTERED their peoples
where she has not been content to
merely ENSLAVE them.
The futile acts of appeasement
which occurred at Munich are often
spoken of as history's most fragrant
international compromise with
tyrannical immortality.
Was there ever such an act of
compromise and appeasement of
achieved and contemplated immoral
ity as Secretary Byrnes now en-:
dorses and proposes as the policy of
the United States?

The Chinese Civil War

T. GEN. ALBERT G. WEDE-
- MEYER, commander of Ameri-
can forces in China, has made
comprehensive and badly needed ex
planation of the current mission of
those forces.
AS every one knows, China was
in a state of virtual civil war
throughout the Pacific conflict-and
in fact for many years prior to the
phase of the Pacific war which be-
gan at Pearl Harbor.
With the end Of the war against
Japan, the situation in China flared
up violently and has now approached
the proportions of total civil war.
NATURALLY, the military ties
~ between the American, forces
and the armies of Chang Kai-shek
are close, having been made neces
sary by the japanese war.
They are still close and necessary,
as Gen. Wedemeyer explains, De'
cause there are still more than four
million Japanese troops in China
awaiting repatriation.
The enormous task of repatriation
will have to be carried out largely by
the Chinese, as he says, for the simple
reason that there are not enough
Americans in China to do the job.
BY the first of the year, says Gen.
Wedemeyer, less than seven thou
sand troops of the American Army
will remain in China, with about fifty
thousand marines in the northern
area.
Consequently, there is now un-
derway large scale redisposition of
Chinese central government troops
-Chiang's forces, of course--into

CECRETARY OF STATE

SECRETARY OF STATE
~ BYRNES has fallen into maze
Of contradictions in his laundering
apology for Soviet Russias policy of
aggression against its neighbors-a
policy in which Russia is both per
sistent and adamant.
1t was less than week earlier
that President Truman, in a speech
declaring Americas complete and
permanent OPPOSITION to that
Russian policy, said that while
America might not be able to PRE-
VENT its fulfillment America would
never APPROVE it.
But now Mr.. Byrnes, in virtual
REPUTATION of the Presidents
declaration, says with respect to the
Russian aggression against her
neighbors;
Ear from opposing, zoe haze
SYMPATHIZED with the effort of
the Soviet Union to drarU into closer
and more friendly association With
her central and eastern European
neighbors.
"We are fully AWARE of her
special security interests in those
countries, and We haUe RECOG-
NIZED those interests in the ar
rangements made for the occupation
and control of the former enemy
states"
WITHIN that short week, the
w President and Secretary Byrnes
made exactly OPPOSITE statements
regarding the American policy TO-
ward Russian aggression.
The American people want to
know and have RIGHT to know
whether the views of President Tru-
man or those of Secretary Byrnes
are going to PREVAIL.

the northern area where the Japa-
nese are largely located.
And the movement is being
carried out in considerable degree
by American ships and planes, the
Chinese themselves having few ships
and planes for the purpose.
Instantly, the Communist faction
in China-with echoes among Com
munists in the United States-has
raised the charge of American inter
vention.
THIS is the matter Gen. Wede-
Il meyer now puts STRAIGHT.
The Communist charge is COM
plete misinterpretation of the Ameri-
can military operation in China.
It is unquestionably DELIBER-
ATE MISREPRESENTATION.
The only American choice, other
than that of winding up this un-
finished business in the manner Gen.
Wedemeyer has set out to do with
the help of Chang Kai-shek, would
be to leave an army of four million
Japanese intact and armed and ready
to resume the war against the United
States at the first propitious moment.
The American mission is not one
of intervention in the domestic af-
fairs of China, but of fulfillment of
the essential American objective of
winding up the japanese war.
Misinterpretation and misrepre-
sentation are familiar Communist
practices in many situations with
which the American people are
familiar-and they should be recog-
nized as such in this situation, a
recognition to which Gen. Wede-
meyer has ably contributed.

Meat Export Situation
Nav Need EDR:s Adpice

WASHINGTON, March 10 -R-
A War Food Administration move
to halt shipments Of meats to
Great Britain and liberated areas
and to trim military demands has
precipitated a bitter inter-ag ency
controversy. g..
President Roosevelt may be call
ed upon to settle the issue because
of it's possible impact upon inter
national relations and upon home
front psychology.
Fundamentally, the issue is
whether civilian food supplies
should be reduced further to meet
international commitments and OBJ.
legations. With food production now
on the downgrade, total demands
being made upon this country are
considerably greater than the sup
ply, particularly in the case Of
meats, fats and vegetable oils, sug.
ar. and some kinds of dairy prod
ucts.
The issue came to a head late
last week in a VIA effort to al
locate supplies for the April-June
quarter among various claimant
groups - the military, civilians
Esnd-Lease, foreign relief, and 9th
er export demands.
In the case of meats, War Food
! Administrator Marvin Jones pro
