But he attacked any idea OF

The conqueror of Berlin spoke
during mpres ssive ceremonies

the personal standard of Hitler,
filed past Lenin's tomb atop which
Stain and other high officials

MANILA, June 25 (INS)-The
U. S. Fifth Airforce, in the most
significant air action announced
by Gen. Macarthur today, joined
the Thirteenth Airforce and
RAAF flisrs TO hammer Jap gun
positions at Balikpapan on
Borneo's east coast.
(MscArthur, announcing the
pounding OF BalIkpapan, ignored
Jap radio reports that Allied
Landing attempts" were made
and completely checked" In the
area. The enemy broadcastS
have hinted for a week that
bombardments by a powerful
fleet were preparing the way
for new invasions Of the rich
East Indies island.)
Warplanes of all types pounded
the last major Japanese strong
hold on east Borneo, hitting the
Balikpapan area with more than
200 tons of bombs and touched
off large fires in fuel storage,
troop personnel and defensive
areas.
The Fifth Airforce contributed
huge Liberators and deadly Mitch
ell bombers TO the 30th straight
attack in the aerial naturalization
of the enemy in and around Bailk-
papen.
While these air strikes were
proceeding, Australian Ninth Divi-
sion troops were engaged mainly
in patrol activity in the Brunei

Crisis in Italy

The fall OF the cabinet headed by
Premier Feruccio Parri is sympto-
matte of the confusion which today
prevails in Italian political life. Fur
thermore, this political confusion is
due to deeper causes-economic
social and theological in character.
Italy is seething with conflicting
aims and aspirations which tran
scend politics" in the narrow sense
OF the word. Despite present diff
culties, this popular ferment is a
hopeful sign. It indicates a re-
surgence of national vitality after
the numbing blows Of war, defeat
and humiliation.
The immediate reason for the fall
OF the Parri cabinet was the defec-
ton of the Liberal and Christian
Democrat parties from a coalition
government which included all par
liamentary groups from the mod
crate right to the Communist ex-
treme left. The Liberals are the old
middle-of-the-road party, repre-
senting the urban bourgeois and
professional elements, which have
suffered greatly from the war and
no longer retain their former po-
litical influence. The Christian
Democrats are the Italian manifes-
tation of that Christian Socialist"
movement which figures so promi-
nently throughout Western Europe,
especially in France with the rapid
growth of the MRP. These groups,
together with certain kindred in
dependent factions, are doubly dis
turbed by the intrigues of the Com
munists and the appearance OF the
rather cryptic phenomenon known
as 'l'Uomo Qualunque." This po-
litical manifestation, with title
corresponding to our phrase, "the
common man." has sprung up lit
orally from nothing within recent
months. 1t was started by an OBJ
scure individual, aroused by the loss
OF his only son in the war, who
announced a program centering
about distrust of all partisan politics
and politicians. Appealing to Ital-
ians to get together on practical
problems of national reconstruction,
regardless OF their party ties,
"l'Uomo Qualunque" has had a tre-
mendous popular response. A sim
liar non-"political" attitude has
been displayed by returning war
prisoners, alike from America and
the Soviet Union, their special hos
tility being directed against the
Communists.
Just what will emerge from the
present parliamentary crisis is un-
certain. Whatever new cabinet may
be formed, its tenure of Office will
be limited as well as precarious, be-
cause a Constituent Assembly has
been slated to convene on or before
April 80, charged with the entire
recasting of Italy's constitutional
structure. Meanwhile, Italy is en-
tering the crucial postwar winter
that will test its endurance to the

For Equality in the Home

The end of meat rationing should
bring about long delayed recon-
version in the field Of gastronomy
and. to superficial thinkers, that will
be the chief effect.
Yet we should not forget the
deeper significance, the sociological
effect of coming change in Amer
ican customs and habits which soon
may assume the Importance of a
trend. Fundamentally, this affects
the position of the. American woman
in the home 1t has in it the means
of restoring a balance in domestic
affairs which was upset by the war.
The fact is that no matter what
may have been the necessity for the
step at the time, the ration point
system gave to the American house
wife a power and prestige which
nature never intended. In conse-
auence, she became imbued with
that sense of omniscience, springing
from her control of the ration book
and her knowledge of how the thing
worked, which in its potential
dangers to mankind was comparable
with the possession of the atom
bomb. She had in her hands the
means of bribery, of reprisal, OF
aggression and of undemocratic
dictatorship. Only she and the
butcher knew the actual situation
regarding red points-and butchers
do not tell.
The inevitable consequence of this
rash bestowal of power to woman
was that man lost confidence in
himself, became afflicted with an
inferiority complex which made him
feel sighted and bewildered. 1t
was as if his wife and the United
States Government had entered into
a two-power compact, under which
his wife could take unilateral action
without consultation or even notice
to the third party. Provided as she
was with an alibi furnished by the
ration board itself, protest from
man was unavailing, lacking, as he
did, the means to back it up.
All this is changed now. A man
can come home with a steak or a
half-dozen lamb chops and demand
his rights. And while predictions
are unsafe in this uncertain world,
the. effect is bound to be beneficial.
Watch the strike situation. Watch
the Labor Management Conference.
And, above all, watch your pocket
book.

A Vital Project

Admiral King is on record as be-
lieving that the Navy could readily
arrange it's fleet formations to in
sure that only about one or two
ships would be lost in an attack by
the atomic bomb in it's present form
and that such result, in view OF the
great cost of the weapon, would not
sufficiently compensate the attacker.
As far as the cost factor is con-
cerned, this judgment does not seem
to be sound, for if the one or two
ships destroyed in the hypothetical
attack happened to be giant aircraft
carriers or battleships, the attackers
investment certainly would be a
profitable one even if the destroying
bomb represented an expenditure of
scores of millions Of dollars. Actu-
ally, however, according to such key
developers of atomic energy as DR..
Oppenheimer, this weapon-as of
today-can be produced for about
one-thousandth the expense of the
bomb that fell on Hiroshima, and it
is reasonable to assume that as the
manufacturing process is steadily
refined and simplified, the unit out
lay will decline even more.
Although the question of economy
thus seems to be answerable right
now, Admiral Kings views on fleet
vulnerabiIty in the new age of elec-
tronics and atomic power cannot be
properly evaluated until they are
subjected to a direct physical test.
This he and the Navy Department
propose to do in two stages, one in
volving a subsurface explosion and
the other an explosion above the
sea. Eighty or more warships of
many types - presumably German
and japanese and some of our own
that are ready for scrapping-are to
serve as the guinea pigs in this his
toric experiment, with the schedul-
ing of the event depending on how
soon the extremely difficult and po-
tentially perilous arrangements can
be made for it.
Up to now the indications have
been that this project will be en-
tirely the Navy's, but if it is to be as
thorough as it should be, the Army
Air Forces should play a major role
in it, too. The AAF has made no
official statement to this effect, but
there can be no doubt that General
Arnold and other top air command
ers have keen and natural interest
in the test and that they can be of
tremendous help in making 1t as
Illuminating as possible. The basic
question to be answered is to what
extent the atomic bomb changes the
value and tactical and stragetical
concepts of sea power. It is a subject
that cannot be explored fully by the
Navy alone; complete AAF particip-
alton seens essential.
There has been some opposition,
Evening star., 1945-11-25

OF course, to the idea of holding the
test, either as Navy project, . joint
Army-Navy project or in any form
whatever. Senator O'Mahoney, for
example, holds that it might be re-
garded by the rest Of the world as
a threatful demonstration of Ameri-
can power and that it cannot be
held without prior congressional ap-
proval. Others oppose it on the
ground that it might destroy COM
mercial fisheries or lead to some
unpredictable catastrophe. Never
theless, security and common sense
would seem to demand that the
experiment be held If the danger
implicit in it can be controlled.
Without it, certainly, we cannot in
telligently apraise sea power in the
new age, and to be ignorant on that
score could conceivably lead to a
terrible national disaster twenty
five or thirty years from now.

Life has no meaning or purpose
whatever, except As 1t Is interpreted
In terms Of eternity. The old epi-
taph on the tomb Of the still-born in
FAINT, while it provokes our smiles,
nevertheless expresses the question
inss Of many hearts: "If so soon that
I am done for, wonder what was
begun, for?"
No matter how many years make
up ones life span, If after long prep
aration and training of the child to
take his place in society; after a
happy marriage and home life; after
successful career in business or
profession and long life. Of useful
ness to mankind and devotion to
God-fthen darkness and cessation of
all activity of the faculties Of mind
and body, does not everything seem
futile? Along with the joys and salts
factions Of life come its conflicts,
which cause one to ask whether it
Is worth the anguish and sorrow, the
strife and turmoil, the disappoint-
ment and disillusionment which
seems to be the lot of all too many
earnest and good men? Unless, as we
said in the beginning. life can be
seen against the background Of
eternity, there is no sense or mean
ing 70 it. Throughout his history,
however, man has held persistently
to the belief that this life Is not all;
that there is some greater experience
to be realized after death. The great
religions Of the world have all held
out some promise of future life.
the nature of which is determined by
something We do or are on earth.
Some of these concepts have taken
on weird, fantastic forms. Some are
weak and unappealing to those of
lofty and virile ideals, while others
are so demanding and impelling that
they call forth In men the noblest
and the best. But all have the hope
of future existence to which man
holds with unrelenting vigor.
Nx
The conflict of the positive and
negative factors in life recur in each
generation, and as long rs man is
constituted with free moral will, it
will continue to be so. When God
created man, He of necessity must
have endowed him with free will,
otherwise man would be 4 mere
puppet and not 4 personality. In
the words of Tennyson, God in
binding nature fast in fate left free
the human will" This very nature
of man suggests the awful possibili-
ties which are his. Without free
will, man would have no character.
II he could do or think no evil, there
