Harsh Peace Terms
For Japan Opposed
|By D Missionaries
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 6.-Twenty-
three American missionaries de-
clared yesterday against drastic
surgery of Japanese nationhood"
after the war.
The missionaries, who have lived
in Japan, Korea, China, India or
the Philippines, said in statement
that they regarded as "coercive, de-
structive and punitive" and "as
seriously defective the proposals
widely made for the treatment Of
Japan in the postwar world"
They seem to call for a ruthless
destruction Of life and property until
unconditional surrender is followed
by military occupation" the state
ment said. THE United Nations are
then to enforce a reconstruction Of
the internal life OF the Japanese peo-
pie; politically, economically, indus
triaily and in spiritual outlook.
Japan is to be denoted from the
rank of the first technologically de-
veloped nation of Asia to that OF
a third-rate agricultural people"
The missionaries, all members Of
Protestant denominations, urged
creation of an international author
ity, whose jurisdiction would extend
to all nations, "the victors and the
vanquished alike, and all should
participate in it without discrim-
nation"
The statement said such an inter-
national order would make unneces-
sary this drastic surgery of Jap
anese nationhood"
"Her domestic reconstruction and
re-education could begin Immediate
ly upon the cessation of war and
1t could be carried out largely by
Japan. herself" the statement said.
Nor is it likely that she ever again
would become threat to her neigh
bors"
| The statement was made public
by DR.. Charles w. Iglehart, associ-
ate professor of missions, Union
Theological Seminary, New York
City. He is a former missionary Of
the Methodist Church in Japan and
former educational secretary of the
National Christian Council of Japan.

Changes Ahead

With the end of the war President Truman
VIII become his own man.
When he became President he committed
himself to carry on, SO far as the war and
foreign policy are concerned, along the lines
President Roosevelt had laid out. This pledge
he has faithfully fulfilled.
He was not bound to Mr.. Roosevelts do
nestle policy, and has demonstrated that he
does not feel any obligation to 60 along with
the ''iberal' activities President Roosevelt
fathered and sponsored, and particularly the
out-and.out leftist movements Mrs. Roosevelt,
while First Lady, took under her wing
We may reasonably expect, therefore, that
Mr.. Truman will exercise his authority as
head of the majority party to fortify his ad-
ministration and the party's prospects IN The
next national president election, by surround
inc himself with completely democratic
cabinet which he obviously intends to restore
To its constitutional position in government
and either do completely away with or co'i'
solidate many of the special agencies WHICH
nlaved their part in maintaining the hooSe'
welt dynasty.
Secretary Stimson, the Secretary OF war;
is 2 republican. He has done an excelieh'
lob in the War department under most trying
circumstances and despite his advanced age.
But we may expect to read OF his reslghaeion
Immediately after VI Day, and the appoint
ment of democrat as his successor. Secre-
tary Ickes, too will retire to his Maryland
farm where he used japanese labor, or per
haps he'll try it again in Chicago. His po
litical past is so much like fever chart
with the highest temperature shown during
the Roosevelt administrations, that his con-
tinuance in the Cabinet would be drawback
to the party Mr.. Truman heads. Secretary
Forrestal of the Navy, capable as he mas
been. lacks the necessary political influence
to merit a Cabinet post, especially the Navy
portfolio which in peacetime is a high policy
position.
It is not possible to list bureaus probably
scheduled for change, but Mr.. Truman, even
in the short time he had been President, has
shown strong predsposition to do away Win
as many as can be dispensed with lmmedl'
ately and consolidate others with constitution
al offices as ne has the Office of Price Ad-
min; stration with the Agriculture Department,
until the last need for their existence and

Social Security

Social Security was instituted on AUGUST ..
1895 Since that day nine billion dollars have
been paid into the Treasury for its SUPPORT:
nine billions of the peoples money divided
between employers and employees In observ.
ing the anniversary in advance it is pointed
out that 4,250,0oo persons are now receiving
oene lts-unemployment or otherwise.
The nine billion dollars collected by the
federal government is not the total. however.
The states have their own unemployment and
old-age funds operating either separately from
the government or in unison with it. This
constitutes double drain upon the resources
OF the people.
In both cases the money comes from the
people. That is to say workers and employers
are putting up for the support of their fellow
mortals Yet it is claimed for Social Security
that it is not dole or charity in any guise

Island Bases

While surrender terms submitted to Japan
call for turning over to the United Natlons
all strategic islands in the Pacific. the Unlteo
States intends to ms st that all islands es-
sential to- our future security, and which have
been listed by the Navy Department. be de-
livered into our hands solely, until their ultl-
mate status is determined at the Paclhc
Peace conference.
Publication of the names OF these Islands
is necessarily withheld at this time, but it is
known that they include those from which
the original attacks were launched and oki'
nawa.
James B. Reston explains the situation In
the New York Times. The principles on which
the administration is approaching the island
problem, he says, is:
First, they wish to have complete freedom
of action to strip Japan of any islands that
may be useful to the United Nations in pre-
venting the rise of Japanese power in the
future, and second, they wish to occupy now,
rather than later, all those islands on the
Navys security list.
"All that was promised to Japan in the
Allied ultimatum OF July rs in this regard
was that she eventually would have sover.
eighty over Honshu, Hokkaido, Kyushu and
Shikoku, the main Japanese islands, and such
minor islands as we determine. These minor
islands definitely will be in the vicinity Of
Japan herself.
When the United States receives control
over the islands in the Pacific that the Navy
Department wants. the administrator then
will decide whether to place any or all OF
those islands under the control of the Trustee
ship Council of the new United Nations Sc
curly league.
Following the principle of retaining It's
freedom of action, the administration, uhoe1
the terms of the San Francisco Charter arse
will retain the right to decide the terms on
which it will place the islands, under the
supervision Of the new league, and even then
again under the charter, it will reserve au
thority to decide if and when our security
bases in these islands shall be inspected by
representatives of the other powers. ,
under this formula the administration is
convinced that it is fully protected against
any eVentudl1Iy, uouku IL ooeS Ilot dIlIlC1pdts
any difficulty in having the islands it wants
assigned to it at the peace conference
1t cannot be emphasized too strongly that
the United States is no more imperial site
e now than in any previous war period It does
S not seek foot o. alien soil to form the basi.
v OF an empire. But it is justified in demand
y ing complete and sole occupation OF the man
;. dated Japanese islands and any others which
y might again become the springboard OF at
tack 1t is the more important that We have
J. these islands now because OF the atomic
oomo, which was still untried when this policy
4 was drafted.
