ages the growth of soft, sappy wood

weather.
1t is time to set the lawn mowers
as high as possible, preferably so
that they cut the grass at least 2
inches high. If cut at lower level
there is danger of injury to the
crowns of the bluegrass plants, but
more important when cut at the
maximum height there is apt to be
less difficulty with crabgrass which
will not tolerate shade. When the
lawn mower is kept set high, blue
grass does not suffer from summer
heat as much as when closely
cropped.
It is time to lift and divide iris.
They need to be lifted and thinned
out every three or four years, the
soil reworked and fertilized to insure
good bloom. The experienced iris
grower prefers to plant large divi-
sions. Small divisions seldom bloom
the first year after planting. 1t is
good garden practice to examine the
rhizomes for signs of borers. If
found, they should be dug out and
killed. Then disinfect the rhizomes
with powdered bordeaux or sulphur
before replanting. Cut the tops back
to 6 inches.

fused to join them, on the ground
that the Chinese troops who had
committed murder, robbery and
rape were not nationalist troops
but were Communists who thus
schemed to embarrass Chang Kai-
shek.
Should Wakatsuki decline to take
the helm, the choice might well fall
upon Baron Kiichiro, twice Justice
Minister, long Privy Councillor, and
Prime Minister in 1939 Unques-
tionably sincere and patriotic, Hi
ranuma was, at a certain stage of
his career, considered a right-wing
nationalist, but he blocked the
army's scheme for an alliance with
Germany in 1889, and Is on record
as opposed to war with England and
America. It was Hiranuma, as
Minister Without Portfolio in the
Konoye cabinet, who, early in 1912,
forced the resignation of Foreign
Minister Yosuke Matsuoka as a step
toward rapprochement with the
United States.
Scarcely younger than Wakatsuki,
Hiranuma, too, might hesitate to
assume the premiership. The choice,
then, will be more difficult. Possibly
Baron Shidehara might be asked to
serve both as Prime Minister and
Foreign Minister.
Before the war the army and navy
we're twin stumbling blocks to cabi-
net-making in Japan, for they were
in position to foredoom many
cabinets which was not to their
liking, thus frustrating the practical
operation of constitutional govern
ment. Thanks to the war, these
obstacles will be no more. With
Japan's armed forces completely de-
stroyed, as they no doubt will be,
her military and naval ministries
will become useless sinecures which
might we'll be abolished. She should
also abolish such institutions as the
general staff, the naval board and
military and naval schools.
Divesting herself Of the last
vestige Of her armament, far beyond
even the rigid requirements of the
peace treaty, she could in due time
place herself in position to sound
a clarion call for universal disarma-
ment, which is the only sincere
guaranty for universal peace. That
surely is the only course along
which wise, far-seeing, vigorous
craftsmanship should lead Japan,
not merely for her own survival but
for the moral renaissance Of the
world.

Gen. Draja Mihailovich. And a
casual thought was cast toward the
Romanians, Bulgarians and Hun
garians on whom the Moscow-spon-
sored governments are said to be
pursuing a wholesale purge.
This terrorism which reigns today
in more than two-thirds of Europe
Is being explained as an inevitable
sequel to years of military and
theological wars. Police states with
concentration camps are function
ing in some of these countries
now. Little is being said because
most of Europe east of the Elbe and
the Adriatic is Theoretically sealed
to the outside world. To the peo-
piles of these countries-except the
minority which is in power-the
world liberation" has become
tragic.
If the treaties which are going to
be signed at San Francisco are to
mean anything at all, it Is essential
that their signatories, and partic-
ularly the powers which form the
exclusive security council, should
put their signatures on the papers
they are drafting in much better
faith than they have in the past.
Unless they mean to keep faithfully
to what they agree, it will be a sad
thing for the world. Their failure
to keep the pledged word, which no
body compels them to give, will lead
to a chaotic situation such as the
world has never witnessed before.
There is no question that Presi-
dent Roosevelt, his advisers and all
the others who took seriously the
idea of world security agreement
knew what they were doing when
they sacrificed so much in order to
get all the nations together at San
Francisco. But the treaties which
will ensue will bring the world to
further disaster If our partners
whom we saved from disaster at the
hands of the Axis consider such a
treaty in the same vein they con-
sidered the Atlantic Charter and
the Yalta agreements.

lands in the Pacific which belong to
friendly nations until their original
owner could reoccupy them or until
their mutual occupation could be
arranged by the United Nations.
Connally Concurs.
Chairman Connally of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee, now a
member of the American delegation
at San Francisco, has publicly ex-
pressed the view that the United
States should occupy all islands re-
conquered from Japan which are
needed for our national defense.
Running counter to this view
point, however, is the public declara-
ton of the United States at the
Cairo Conference of 1943 in which
it joined with Great Britain and
China in stating, with regard to
the disposition of the japanese En-
pire:
They (the three powers) covet no
gain for themselves and have no
thought of territorial expansion"
To be considered, also Is the deep
seated opposition of many Ameri-
cans to anything resembling i'm
perialism' belief that any race,
despite its cultural backwardness,
is inherently entitled to inde-
pendence. 1t is this feeling (com-
bined, one must admit, with GER
tain economic considerations which
found expression in America S
grant of freedom to the Philippines.
The American plan advanced at
San Francisco is, In essence, an at
tempt to compromise two points of
view or objectives-nilitary secur-
ity in the Pacific and the principle
Of universal independence for all
peoples.
Assuming that the American plan
Is adopted at San Francisco, only
time can tell whether such a COM
promise Is workable.
British View Differs.
Great Britain approaches the
mandate problem from an entirely
different point Of view. Aside from
its obvious need of British-governed
agricultural areas throughout the
world to supply United Kingdom
factories with raw materials and
serve, in turn, as markets for manu-
factured goods, the average Briton
sees nothing pernicious in the i'm
perial system, provided colonies and

mandates are wisely and humaneIy
administered with an eye toward
their constant progression in the
scale of civilization.
| Large Sums and Colonies.
As an earnest of their sincere in
terest in colonial peoples under the
crown, British spokesmen point to
the Colonial Development and We'll
fare Act passed by Commons in
1910, which provides $4,000, 900 an
nually over 10 years for social and
economic development in territories
and 100000 annually for research
work to further plans for the prof.
ect. Included in the program are
grants to schools and hospitals and
for various economic developments.
Numerous British officials have
said that London's ultimate aim is
independence for all colonial areas
under its control-the type of inde-
pendence enjoyed now by Canada,
the Union of South Africa, Australia
and New Zealand. But they mean,
Of course, independence within the
empire,
France also has a direct interest
in the mandates problem, inasmuch
as it is the controlling power, under
League Of Nations sanction, of por-
tions Of both Togoland and the
Cameroons in Africa; the other
parts being under British control.
The policy of Paris toward exist
ing mandates, according to French
officials, is similar to that of the
British. France would like to see
a continuation of approximately the
same system which was established
at Geneva. So far it has taken no
public position regarding mandates
over strategic areas in the Pacific.

M. Molotov remarked that both the
American and British positions ON
this question would require study"
and added:
"The Soviet delegation realizes
that, from the viewpoint of the in
terests of international security, we
must first of all see to it that de.
pendent countries are enabled as
soon as possible to take the path of
national independence"
Russia's direct interests lie not In
the South Pacific or Africa, but
along the eastern fringe of Asia-in
Manchuria, for instance, and in the
Japanese-held southern half of
Sakhalin Island. Whether the Soviet
Union may ask mandatory author
ity there remains to be seen.
Any sort of imperialism" Is, of
course, anathema to the Communist
theoretician. Yet Moscow has been
extremely successful in establishing
an economic and political hegemony
in the Balkans and Eastern Europe
by means which are peculiarly its
own.

Guess WhO...
(See Front Cover

WYE FIRST ran across young
w George Thomas Morton.
3rd, of Sioux City. Iowa, in the
Letters column of Life" We we're
intrigued with his amazing resem-
blance to General Eisenhower, de-
cided to find out more about him.
These pictures show that George
looks like like" all of the time,
doesn't have to be posed. He's not
related to his famous counterpart,
but - brace yourself - has the
same birthday, October ID. George
is 20 months old. The General is
SO years older.
GEORGES dad is a Navy lieu
tenant. He and his mother are
living with his maternal grandpar-
ents. A drugstore man first noticed
the resemblance when Grandpa
went to call for snapshots of the
baby. Now everyone in Sioux
City who sees George calls him
"Ceneral" or "Ike."
Lieutenant Morton first saw his
son when he came home in May.
He probably hopes the junior gen.
eral will take to the Navy instead
of the Army.
George is about ready for Army
chow now. though. He sports a
fine set of "choppers"-twou uppers
and two lowers - and an appe-
tite to match.
