Meat Picture Brighter

Secretary of Agriculture Anderson has set
the machinery in motion to increase the ma.
TONS meat supply by authorizing compliance
with the amendment to the Price Control bill
providing that slaughtering may be conduct
ed by non-federally inspected plants, if they
are certified by the Agriculture Department
as being operated in sanitary manner, and
that meat processed in these plants shall be
eligible for movement in interstate commerce.
1t is presumable that as soon as this pro-
gram penetrates to the Raleigh office of the
Office of Price Administration the recent re-
fusal to allow slaughtering in the Wilmington
area will be cancelled and the cattle here
abouts ready or butchering will find its way
to the meat counters Of local stores.
Raleighs claim that no shortage exists in
this area is specious and foolish. 1t can only
be hoped that the new vision of the public
need which accompanied Mr.. Andersons en-
trance to his new post will bring needed re-
form in the state food administration.

Feeding Ber1iners

The more we think of it the harder it is
to get hot and bothered about feeding Beriners.
1t is too hard to find food at home.
All we can say about Berlin is that the
solution of it's food problem is not likely to be
found by the withdrawal of American and
British occupying forces. No problem can be
solved by running away from it.
That's like the man who Travelled to the
other side of the world to "get away from
himself The first man he met when he got
there was himself.
1t seems, though that Berlin's customary
source of food supplies is in the area occupied
by the Russians. General Lusius D. Clay pro-
poses that Germany's food products be bar
tered among the occupying forces and that
the Russians might supply Berlin with needed
edibles in exchange for products from Amer
lean and British zones elsewhere in Germany.
1t sounds reasonable.
Despite what seem to be glazing exceptions,
the Russians by and large not particular
ly unreasonable, once they shown. Gen
e. al Clays persuasive powers are well known.
Maybe he can SHOW the Russians the merit
of his plan. We hope he can.
But we still want to know where to buy

Big Three Conference

With Pre- sident Truman and his party on
the nlgn seas en- route to the forthcoming
Big Three conference, public interest centers
more IN what the conference is likely to pro.
duce than in where and even when it will
be held
1t is foregone conclusion that Mr. Truman
will forgather with Premier Stain of the So.
Wet Unicr and Prime Minister Winston
Churchill OF Great Britain on a date and At
a place agreeable to ALL but there can be
no advance CONCLUSION as to what decisions
will be reached either regarding the peace
to be given Germany or Russia's entry of
the war ir the Pacific.
OF the two Russas attitude on the Pacific
war; and possible participation in it, probably
no doubt that the United States, upon which
the chief burden falls, and her Allies now
engaged, will be able to defeat the Japanese
But there is also no doubt that the victory
could be achieved more speedily, with result
tant saving of lives, if Russia had n place
in the fighting, or even opened her Asiat;c
ports and air bases for our occupation. Our
naval operations and air bombings OF Japa-
nese forces, defenses and industries in the
home islands and the Asiatic mainland could
be intensified with the additional bases Rus
STA could place at our disposal. Will Stain
come in with us, to this extent or remain
aloof?
Russia has a score to settle with Japan.
Stain mag decide this is the time for an
accounting. At the same time, he may de-.
eide that with the victory over Germany, Rus
STA has gained her main objective and will
be content with the communication of con.
tinental Europe.
There is a school of thought in this coun-
try which holds that, despite the aid Russia
could give in the overthrow of Japanese
armed might, it would be better to 70 it
alone lest Moscow, after sharing the victory,
make demands in Asia that would involve
serious sacrifices by the Western powers.
However this may be, we are likely to learn
after this Big Three conference both the role
Gf any Russia will have in defeating the
Japanese and the final decision regarding
Germanys future. Of all the International
parleys since the war began, including those
in the Bremen Pass between Hitler and Mus
solini and the Roosevelt Churchill meeting at
sea when the Four Freedoms were pro-
claimed, this conference Of Truman Church
ill and Stain probably will be the most i'm
portant.

Air Lashing

If there has been any doubt in any Japa-
nese mind that the United States meant bust
ness when it declared the air attack on Japan
would outrank in volume and fury the worst
bombings suffered by Germany, that doubt
must be dispelled by the mighty assault Of
yesterday with Tokyo and its encircling air.
fields the principal targets, in which, count
ing Superfortresses and fighters, fully 1900
planes participated.
So complete was the surprise, Guam dis
patches reveal the enemy was able to put
up no effective defense and suffered the loss
of many grounded planes. The attack was so
quick and powerful the japanese could not
get their planes off the ground.
One feature of the raid which cannot be
overempha is that the American task
force under General Halsey and the lesser
force commanded by Vice-Admiral Mccain
steamed within two hundred miles OF Japan
without meeting either air or naval opposi-
ton.
Time was when an American naval vessel
anywhere west of Hawaii was in iminent peril
of attack The Navy has made tremendous
progress when it can put carriers within zoe
miles OF Jspsn's coast. 1t means not only
that the Japanese fleet is ilnpotent, as Ad
nirai Mint. said some time ago. but tina
Japsns Air Force too is no match for tht
air power the United States has concentrated
aionp Japan's inner line of defenses.
