ALASKANS CAN TAKE HEART AT OPINION VOICED 20 YEARS AGO

Many Alaskans probably feel little down. hearted after reading yesterdays report which quoted Representative Jed Johnson and John Rooney to the effect that Alaskans ignorant they aren't cap able of governing themselves and allowing absentee owners of the fishing and mining industries to ruin their Territory.
 So for those who little bit gloomy, we offer the following

Snyder told Truman flatly that
 unless something was done imme- diately, the nation might have as many as 20,000,000 unemployed on it's hands within 12 months. Perhaps realizing that Japanese
 surrender was imminent, Snyder reported that the situation was so
 bad that sudden peace with Japan
 might paralyze the entire civilian economy.
 The War Mobilizer complained
 that he had been called a man of inaction, but said it was impossible to act unless he had sufficient backing to overrule Army-Navy
 brass hats.
 Next morning Truman hastily summoned his good friend Senator
 Harley Kilgore of West Virginia, asked him how bad the situation
 was. Kilgore reported that it was
 terrible and likely to break wide
 open any moment. He also told the President that Army-Navy man.

They point out that as chairman of his old Tru- man Committee. he was perhaps more familiar than anyone else with the inefficiency of the Army and Navy in planning for supplies, and that since he kept the same brass hats in office. ne cannot dodge responsibility. ote-Republican leaders have been putt:ie their heads together

ROOSEVELT AND STALIN

There has been a lot of talk about how Russia was argued into the Japanese war at Potsdam. The real fact, however, is that Stalin made his initial commitment to President Roosevelt at Teheran. The details of what happened can now be revealed for the first time
 At Teheran. the Big Three" held their first get-together The att mosphere warmed very slowly. Roosevelt had never met Stalin before, but they got along very well. Stalin and Churchill, how ever, were almost at daggers' point.
 Roosevelt was unable to bring up the subject of Japan while Churchill was present; but in sev- eral private discussions, he em- phasized the point that Russia's entry into the war would ma- terially shorten the Far Eastern conflict.
 Stalin not only agreed, but pointed out that Japan, being a Fascist nation, was natural enemy of the Soviet Union and of all the Allied anti-Fascist powers. He begged off from detailed dis cussions, however, on the ground that Russia had only then begun to push the Nazis from the vicinity of Moscow.
 However, Stalin's assurances were such especially after Roosevelt sided with Stalin regarding the Second Front through France that when Roosevelt returned from the Teheran Conference, he was certain that barring unpredictable
The Daily Alaska empire., 1945-08-15

difficulties, Russia would fight Japan.
 So at Yalta, Roosevelt again preached the question to Stalin. This time, Stalin made a flat and unequivocai commitment that at an early date after Germany's de- feat, Russia would fight Japan. The conversations at Yalta on the po- litical aspects of the Far Eastern situation were fairly detailed. How ever, Stalin did not bring his Far Eastern military experts to Yalta. But he did agree that immediately after VIE Day, the Big Three" would meet again and hold detailed staff conversations to decide on final blows against Japan.
 Stalin pointed out, however, that it would take three months to transfer large numbers of the Red Army to the Far East after Ger- many was defeated. He also re- vealed that during the war with  Germany, he had constructed 30000 miles of new ra.iroad tracks to the Russian Far East, despite the heavy drain on transportation facilities for the war in the west.
 Thus, while President Truman and Churchill were en route to the PotSdam Conference, hundreds of thousands of Red Army men were moving toward the Eastern Front. And when Truman made his pro- posal that Russia join the war, Stalin was prepared. He did point out to Truman that the Japanese were about ready to collapse, but in the end agreed completely to the Allied strategy for the final destruction of Japan.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 16

Adverse aspects today contend with powerful Jupiter influences. It is time when the Government and Army and Navy commanders meet great problems.
 Heart And iiOme
 Women may be restless and ap- prehensive under this configuration, which seems to emphasize weariness due to summer weather under war time conditions. There may be news of delays in returning Servicemen to their homes.
 Business Affairs
 Certain inflationary trends are indicated by the stars. Merchants and manufacturers who are tempt ed to encourage buying should re- alize that profits today may be fol- lowed by losses tomorrow
 National Issues
 The importance of national unity will be more and more evident as postwar plans are formulated.
 International Affairs
 Celestial vibrations affecting Lis bon and Madrid seem to presage diplomatic and political troubles. Spain is to offer prolonged diffi- culties in postwar Enrope where there will be serious problems for United Nations members to solve. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year in which grad ual return to normal life will be en- joyed. Good financial prospects are indicated.
 Children born on this day probably will be restless and difficult to guide, for they are likely to have decided talents and strong indivi- duality.

without the Emperor. But the most effective argument was that Hiro- hito could order Jap troops in Manchuria, China, Singapore and the Dutch East Indies to surrender. Otherwise they might be fighting guerrilla warfare for months. This, it was argued, would save many American lives.
 This latter argument especially appealed to President Truman.
 * < *
 I-EMPEROR GROUP
 Dean Acheson, on the other hand, argued that the Emperor had stood for a system of con- quest which had enslaved a large part of Asia, that he was perma- nently identified with this system and we could not be identified with him or it. Acheson felt that the democratic movements inside Japan, the labor and farm groups, should
 
 new type of government, that they could not do this with the Em- peror on the throne and that unless Japan had a new governmental system we might have to fight an- other war in future years.
 Finally, in order to convince Truman, Acheson asked him to discuss the matter with Owen Lat timore, one of the foremost Ameri- can authorities on China and former adviser to Chiang Kai-shek Lattimore talked to Truman for 30 minutes just two days before he departed for Potsdam. The President listened most carefully but made no comment. It appeared however, that he leaned toward the Grew theory of using the Emperor as an American puppet.
 (Note-Lattimore is chiefly fla nous for having been an adviser to Chiang Kai-shek. He lived in China and all his work has been closely identified with China. But while he and Grew were in the White House anteroom waiting to see Truman, Grew remarked: How long since you were in Japan, MT Lattimore?"

the necessary points to get back
home.
Euddy bags by the thousands
were sent to these men during the
past few months and more will be
sent to them. The end Of the war
did not mean the scrapping of this
OAR war project. In fact, accord
ing to Mrs. william A. Becker, OF
222 Sylvsnia Place, Westfield, N.
j., OAR chairman of National De-
Tense and director of the project,
the buddy bag quotas were in
creased. She said:
1--WE have happy hearts this
Christmas time. The great war is
over. America and her A1es. have
been triumphant. Our co&Fy re-
mains free and independent, the
greatest Democracy on earth.
Hundreds of thousands Of our
boys, however, cannot be home
this holiday season. They must re.
main to serve our country. They
sing their Christmas carols in the
Pacific isles, in Germany, China,
the Philippines, even in Japan.
1--WE hope they will be remem-
bered, not only at this time but
as long IS they serve. If the bud
dy bags with their little gifts can
gladden. the hearts of these boys
we will be amply repaid for all
of the time and work in prepar-
ing and shipping Them"
The Buddy Bag project was one
of the first adopted by the OAR
at the outset of the war. The bags,
Of convenient size and strongly
made, are filled with a variety of
useful gifts. They were first sent
to the men in training camps.
They followed the soldiers and
sailors in every theatre of the
war.
Mrs. Arthur C. Houghton, of
Washington, D. c., is vice-chair-
man Of Buddy Bags of the Nation
al Defense committee. Chapters in
every city and state took up the
project and kept the buddy bag
production line in full swing month
after month.
And until the army of occu-
patton finally ends it's work, the
buddy bags will continue to 20 for
