British Exporter Gets
Liberal Education in
Trade Tour Of u. ).
{ By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, Nov. 26. America !:
Land of he-men, electric signs,
crowded hotels and counters gaping
for British goods. -.
Such, in outline, is the picture
many British businessman has
today after a tour of the United
States, Canada and Mexico by L. R.
Allen, chairman of the hosiery and
knitwear export group.
1t is sprightly report that Mr.
Allen published for his colleagues
recently. On the plane that took
him to America, for instance, he
found:
six young English girls who were
leaving to start new life as wives
of American servicemen. 1t was
comforting to reflect that, in these
days of control orders, we could still
export something"
American businessmen he found
to be "he-men who fight hard and
long for high standard of living
but are very human"
In capital letters Mr.. Allen told
the exporters that nov is the time"
to get their products into American
stores If they can.
Retailers are frantic for goods
OF almost any Sort" he reported.
"Were he permitted (by export reg
ulationS to trade, any British man
ufacturer could sell his entire pro-
duction in America many times
over"
But there are some oddities about
American business, he found:
Herd instinct induces sudden
crazes which must be carefully OBJ
served. A typical instance is the
vogue for bobby socks'-every girl
must now wear outsize short socks,
frequently her fathers, with big
low-heeled shoes.
American feet are larger than
ours and l think it Is essential to
include sizes up to 13 inches. In
the standard price.
The American public expect to
be told what to buy, they just cannot
believe goods can have any value
unless their merits are shouted from
the housetops."
Allen gave this impression of large
cities he visited:
New York-"Good hotels abound
but not vacant bed in any of them.
Besides the large stores,
London's shopping center looks like
q village street If you go in
summer, discard your braces (sus-
penders) and rely on a belt"
Chicago-"The city of AL Capone
Gives an impression of space
lacking in New York, and it is Ger
tainly fresher The LOOP is
imposing If slightly grubby :"
Notices in the hotels warning you
to lock your door at night are a
reminder of more exciting times,
but Chicago seems reasonably quiet
now"
Dallas-"A little gem of town
... . long, lean, tough-looking :.
men More simple elegance
and good looks amongst the female
population than in any city I Wis
tied"
Los Angeles-"A veritable fairy
land Large clusters of lights
Wide roads, palm lined, with
beautiful gardens and edged with
expensive residences"
San Antonio (where he saw a ro-
deo)-"One could have picked a re-
markable beauty chorus from the
cowgirl competitors, though 1 would
envy no man the job of training
them"
Generally speaking, "the refine
ments of an Amriecan nome are
along liberal education" Mr.. Allen
reported, a little wistfully, while
their clubs battle description.

come by simple document issued on
the authority of the United States,
Great Britain, Russia and France. It
nrSt sets up court-called an Inter.
national Military Tribunal-with four
Judges, one for each nation concerned,
Its jurisdiction is limited to the trial
and punishment of major war criminals
OF the European Axis.
1t then sets up brief code of GRIM

terms the offences that shall be re-
garded as criminal. Then it sets up

tory agreement has been made between
the continental theory, in which enor-
NOUS latitude is permitted for all man
ner OF evidence, and the Anglo-Saxon
restrictions on evidence. Also, agree
ment between the theories Of the pre-
sumption f-guilt and the presumption.
of-innoncence has been made.
In general, the new system leans to
the continental side, and this Justice
jackson justif1es by pointing out that
the German and Italian accused have
themselves lived under the continental
system. Justice Jackson also says that
we must be patient, since the trials may
take considerable time. He says that
these must not be regarded as political
trials. The accused persons are Just
ordinary malefactors to be treated as
such.
And finally, Justice jackson asserts
that the German people must realize
that these people "are not on trial be-
cause they lost the war, but because they
started it."

This Changing World
By Consfanfine ByotUn

The Big -Four, spurred by the argu-
li1ents of President Truman, agreed to
Keep the Imperial dynasty in Japan,
subject to the eventual decision Of the
Japanese people themselves. This situ-
alton is not unlike the one in Italy in
which the Allies decided to permit the
House of Savoy to remain, nominally at
least. at the head of the Italian people.
But while everything points to an early
shakeup in Italy and the replacement
OF the royal family by republican form
of government with police estate"
tinge, it Is probable that, while Hirohito
may have to vacate the throne in the
near future, there will be only a mini
mum of internal trouble in Japan.
The current belief in Washington is
that the 11-year r-old heir to the throne,
Prince Akihito, will be crowned under a
regency headed by Prince Chichibu,
known in Washington and London for
his liberal views and his deep admira-
ton for American and British insti-
tutions.
Prince Chichibu has been in retire.
ment for the past few years. Before
Pearl Harbor, however, he was deeply
hated by the leaders of the Kwangtung
Army and their henchmen in Tokyo.
Foreseeing that these men eventually
would lead Japan to its ruin, the Prince
threw his influence in the court against
the plans of the jingoists. In the past
there have been several attempts on his
life and recently he was reported to have
been placed under house arrest because
OF his unsympathetic leanings.
When the jinsoistic faction in the
ic of
ture, most of the leaders are expected
to commit hara kiri either because thev
failed or because they know that their
names ngure prominently on the Ameri-
can and Chinese war criminal lists and
1t Is considered probable that Chichibu
Will be the real force in the new Jap
anese setup.
Despite their utter defeat the people
OF Japan still believe in the diety of
their dynasty. A revolution as we may
see IN the near future in Italy against
the royal family is highly improbable in
Japan. Most American observers, in
cluding Undersecretary of State Grew,
who is expected to be sent shortly as
Americas civil representative to the mill
itary forces Of occupation, are convinced
that Japan can be reorganized in such
way as to make her a useful member
OF the family of nations.
Il 4
The much-feared political vacuum
which would have been worse in an Or
lental country like Japan than it has
been IN Germany will be avoided by the
maintenance Of the dynasty. The real
war criminals-and their numbers will
reach tens OF thousands-are to be found
among the military leaders and particu-

Potomac Bosin Development

Pollution OF the Potomac River
probably has increased rather than
diminished during the war years
because of industrial development
in the upper valley. 1t is 'encour-
aging to note adoption, by the Inter-
state Commission on the Potomac
River, of a program which con-
templates a new attack on the
problem.
The Tennessee Valley experiment
has shown to the Nation the great
possibilities of unified direction and
control of river basin and the
results of the TWAS development
were the subject of favorable COM
ment at the Potomac commission's
recent session. But the prevailing
opinions expressed there were that
cooperative action by the States,
rather than delegation of jurisdic-
ton to an independent Authority,
would be most suitable in develop
ment of pollution and other con-
trolls in the Potomac Valley. The
validity of that theory will have to
: be tested by what the commission
can accomplish.
Two tangible steps were taken at
the recent session. One is the deci-
sion to request of the United States
Public Health Service a study of
river pollution, results of which evi-
dently would be used in connection
with desirable standards of purity
established for different river areas.
The other was approval of a pro-
gram of educational publicity, de-
signed to show the people the OBJ
jectives of pollution elimination and
accompanying development in flood
and erosion control and perhaps
hydroelectric power.
It is desirable that the States of
Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia,
Pennsylvania and the District of
Columbia, whose representatives,
with those of the Federal Govern
ment, constitute the commission,
strengthen the hands of this agency
by funds which will enable it to take
an energetic leadership in what
generally should be recognized as a
necessary undertaking to preserve
the great natural assets of the
Potomac Valley and to utilize them
as future need develops.

Meeting of Friends
From the Montreal Star.

Another historic meeting has taken
place today. Standing at the rail of
H. M. S. Renown, his majesty the King
welcomed President Truman to Britain.
Thus was returned the visit of their
maJesties to the United States in 1895.
That first visit was an earnest of Brit
ish-American friendship. The second
takes place when that friendship has
been fused by the fires of war.
1t is important to these two countries
and to the world that it should con-
tinue. The far-sighted President Roose.
velt, long before the United States was
drawn into the conflict, realized lust
how important it was, even from a
purely American point of view. to
foster British-American friendship. He
therefore risked political capital to de.
feat those elements in the United States
which fostered not only isolationism
but an antagonism to the other great
member OF the English-speaking world.
The result we know. British and Amer.
ican cooperation, allied to Russian
might, brought the Hun to heel. Alone.
Russia could not have achieved that re.
suit. Alone, neither Britain nor tha
United States could have brought about
the defeat of the Axis,

Deep Water Is HEAVY
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
1t is surprising that Howard w. Blaks-
lee, science correspondent Of the Asso-
ciated Press, should fall into the popular
fallacy which marks his article on the
detonation Of atomic bombs In water.
He states that water is more dense
where it is deeper" Water. for all prac-
tical purposes, is incompressible. A
cubic foot of water at the surface Of
the ocean is, within inflnitesimal limits
OF variation, exactly as dense as 1t is
10000 feet under the sea. The pressure
of water on submerged object Is in
exact proportion to its distance below
the surface, being 100 times greater per
square foot at depth Of 100 feet than
it is at one foot depth. But depth does
not affect density.
The reason an explosion deep in the
water does not cast up 90 great splash
as one near the surface Is because the
deeper explosion has more tons OF water
to lift at the greater depth. Density Il
not factor. r. e. NJ.

larly IN the organization across the Sea
OF Japan known as the Kwantung Army.
High oficial quarters in Washington
believe that had 1t not been for that
autonomous force and its military fol-
lowers In Tokyo, the Japanese govern
ment would have surrendered even be-
fore 1t received the Potsdam ulti-
matum.
The civilian advisers of Hirohito,
together with the powerful representa-
tives OF the Japanse Industrial and
banking interests, were pressing the
Emperor to make peace after We day.
They all knew that the Imperial fleet
had been wiped out and the aviation
was no longer in position to put UP an
effective resistance since lit lacked gas
oline and replacements.
Approaches were made to the Ameri-
can, British and Chinese governments
for many weeks prior to Potsdam and
were continued last week.
But the Kwantung Army opposed the
acceptance of what was called "Ameri-
can terms" The Kwantung Army
which is composed of veterans or men
who have enlisted for a period of many
years, was unquestionably the most
outfit in Japan. It's leaders caused the
"Manchurian incident" in September,
1881, and have been on the warpath
ever since.
During the period prior to the out
break OF the World War its representa-
tives In Tokyo, supported by a number
OF jingoistic societies such as the IA
nous Black Dragon, terrorized not only
the politicians but also the Emperor
who eventually became a helpless tool
in their hands.
The bulk of the officers of that army
are sons of peasants and lower middle
class families who, while opposing the
wealthy industrialists, feudal lords and
bankers and favoring a radical change
In Japan's social and economic struc-
ture. were nonetheless in favor of
Japan's domination of the whole East
ern Asiatic continent. In this respect
they were soulmates of the German
Nazis and Of all other totalitarian DO
lice states.
According to available reports, they
sent word to Tokyo through their
henchmen who were still In important
positions in the capital that the sur
render of the Emperor would not ef-
feet their own stand in Manchuria and
that II conditional surrender were ac-
cepted, it will not affect the Kwantung
forces.
The back of the Kwantung Army Is
now believed to be broken and its
Leaders who were responsible for many
more atrocities than their German SIS
and Gestapo colleagues will now be
brought to book and executed
