Battle
On Draft
Expected

WASHINGTON. Aug. II CUP)
Congressional sources predicted
today that President Truman and
Congress will have their first
major clash over continued draft
ing of men for the army.
Mr.. Truman has ordered con-
tinued induction of $4,000 men a
month. compared with the recent
rate of $4,000.
SeNate) and House military
affairs committee leaders have
expressed a desire to stop in
ductions Immediately. But the
President said today that he saw
no reason why some of the young
men who aren't doing anything
right now shouldn't relieve the
men at the front so they can re-
turn.
WOULD RELIEVE VETS
He said the draft would be con-
tinued until requirements are suf-
fcient TO send veterans home
from the occupation fronts.
His added remark that Con-
gress must decide how long the
draft will operate indicated that
some form of compromise might
be in the air.
Just before a Commute con-
ference witA-Mf. Truman this
week Rep. May ID Of Kentucky,
chairman Of the House military
affairs committee. said he would
offer legislation to stop induction
as soon as Congress reconvened.

ernment In the sixteenth and seven
teenth centuries Shintoism began to
take on the nationalistic character
which was so skillfully used by the
master minds who restored the i'm
perial dynasty to power and planned
aggressive expansion, after the
opening of the country by Commo-
dore Perry ninety-odd years ago.
In it's modern phase Shinto was re-
garded as patriotic cult to which
all loyal japanese owed allegiance,
even though they were likewise Bud
dhists or Christians. The idea can
be roughly compared to the "divin-
lty' OF the Roman emperors en-
Joined during the empire, which was
demanded as civic obligation by
all citizens, who were free to worship
any other divinities they chose. It
was the refusal of the early Chris
tians and the Jews to make this
ceremonial acknowledgment which
caused them to be prosecuted as dis
loyal citizens by the authorities, with
popular approval of their punish
ment. Unlike the early martyrs,
modern japanese Christians seem
to have largely conformed to the
Shinto obligation as patriotic duty.
This reveals the power of cult
which must be carefully evaluated
in any program for the re-education
of the japanese mind.

In his opening campaign address, Mr..

This Changing World
By Constantine Bro,sn

High quarters in Washington doubted
today there will be another meeting
Of the Big Three in the near future
Such a gathering, 1t was pointed out,
would serve no good purpose since the
subjects which caused the failure Of
the London Foreign Ministers Confer
ence had already been discussed at
Potsdam and no agreement was reached.
But while at Potsdam the Big Three
leaders and their Foreign Ministers
merely CLOSED over the controversial
subjects, the Foreign Ministers at Lon
don discussed the subjects over a
period of weeks from every conceivable
angle. The American British, French
and Chinese representatives worked
hard to find some in-between solution
which, while acceptable to the Soviets,
would safeguard at least some of the
principles for which the war was
fought. This, unfortunately. was not
possible because of the wide difference
in views.
washington is now gravely concerned
over Moscow's new demand - which
many consider peremptory-that a con-
troll commission of the four powers
which have largely contributed to the
defeat of Japan" be formed in Tokyo
as soon as the disarmament of the jap
anese forces has been completed.
On September Is President Truman
rejected the idea of formation of even
consultative commission because it
was not necessary.
\ *
Last Saturday, Secretary of State
Byrnes agreed to the formation of
consultative commission in Tokyo to
act, 1t is assumed, as an advisory body
TO Gen. Macarthur. This ran contrary
to President Truman's statement. but
1t Is believed that Mr. Byrnes, con-
fronted with a hopeless situation in
London, hoped to ease the work of the
Foreign Ministers Conference by thus
humoring the Russians.
Apparently, however, Mr.. Byrnes had
misinterpreted what Moscow had in
mind when it made such a request on
September o. This is obvious from
the fact that Moscow now saws Mr..
Molotov has handed Mr.. Byrnes a note
setting forth that Russia desired a con-
troll and not consultative commission in
Japan. This is interpreted here to mean
that the Russian government wishes to
subordinate actions of the American
supreme commander, acting for the
Ailles, to new organization which was
Evening star., 1945-10-04
An UntimeIy Proposal

In view of last weeks announce
ment that the Russians had agreed
to the plan advanced by Secretary
of State Byrnes for the creation of
a Far Eastern commission to CON
slider" whether a Joint Allied control
council should be established for
Japan and, if so, what powers it
should have, there is an element of
surprise in the disclosure that Mr..
Molotov is now urging that the con-
troll council should be set up before
anything is done about the consulta-
tive commission.
The Soviet proposal apparently
would confine participation in the
shaping of control policy for Japan
to representatives of the United
States, Britain, China and Russia.
This is more restrictive than the
plan advanced by Mr.. Byrnes, which,
carried to it's logical conclusion, ap-
pears to invite participation by all
of the Allied countries having a
legitimate interest in the Far East.
The Russian request, however, is
consistent with Soviet policy in
Europe, which has aimed at holding
to a minimum the number of par
ticipants in any international un-
dertaking.
The request for control council
for Japan, whatever its ultimate
composition, deserves serious con-
sideration on our part. In theory, at
least, there is no reason why Russia,
Britain, China or other powers
should not have a voice in deter
mining policy affecting matters of
a political, economic or financial
character in Japan. But as prac-
tical matter, at this time, it would
seem more desirable to leave General
Macarthur alone.
Under his authoritative direction,
the occupation and disarming of
Japan have been progressing very
smoothly The difficulties encoun-
tered under the joint rule in Ger
many are not in evidence in Japan.
Nor has there been anything even
remotely comparable to the unrea-
sonable refusal to compromise which
wrecked the London meeting of the
foreign ministers. For these rea-
sons, it may well be asked why an
arrangement which is working well
should be discarded now in favor of
a substitute that might prove great
deal less satisfactory to all con-
cerned. 1t is to be expected that a
time will come in the process of
pacifying Japan when the other
poSers will share with us the
responsibility of shaping policy, as
suming that this would not be seized
upon as an opportunity for sheer
obstruction. But that time is not yet
at hand
