VOICE OF FREEDOM.
japanese Would Be Baffled

In my last broadcast over the
Voice of Freedom in Leyte before
was sent back to Washington
to carry out a special mission, |
said to my people that the next
blows to be delivered by General
Macarthur would be of such tell
ing effect that the Japanese pro-
pagandists would be baffled-so
baffled that they would contradict
the blatant statements they were
making about the fight in Leyte.
| also said in hat broadcast that
General Macarthur would surprise
the japanese with military moves
that would be as unexpected as
they were devastating. | urged
my fellow countrymen to be ready
to do their part when the tide of
battle reached them in their bar
rios and towns.

In Washington have been
watching the Japanese propagan-
da bulletins from Radio Tokyo the
last few days with amusement
The contradictions made by the
japanese propagandists are so ri
diculOus they are puerile. First,
they pictured the Leyte operation
as an insignificant one and then
later declared that it was a criti-
cal battle, where American forces
would be crushed like an eggshell
by the Japanese army; then they
broadcast that the American for
ces would not be able to get out
OF Leyte and that it was going to
be their last operation. When Ley
te was lost by the japanese. Gen
eral Eamashita. the commander
in-chief of the japanese forces in
the Philippines, declared he didn't
care if he lost one island because

JAP BLUFF

A Tokyo broadcast this week indicates that the Japanese war lords are trying sell their people the idea of sreSistance en to the expected invasion and suicide en masse if resistanc e fails. This is implied in the Dome agencys summary of plan to place the entire nation under the per- sonal command of the Emperor armed forces of the imperial fighting services These civilian levies not allow themselves to be taken prisoner alive or die dishonorable deaths" Obviously this is large order for nation of than 72,O00000 people To the Occidental mind the project doesn't seem con- sistent The Japanese started this war in order to acquire an empire. They seem to be drifting into a state of mind in which they don't even con- template retaining population the home islands. How can nation without any people hold its own in a world like this?
 We must suppose that these admontions that every Japanese become soldier and every soldier die contain an element of rhetoric. Regular Japanese Army troops can be hypnotized into killing themselves rather than surrender. The supply of suicide pilots has not run out. Civilians, Japanese civilians, are different And even the Domei broadcast contains a significant phrase about disturbances that may be created fby subvervse elements" These elements might be Koreans other slave laborers They might be Japanese too "A few Japanese are now surrender ing. A very few, captured by the Chinese have broadcast surrender appeals to their former comrades

The Japanese nation cannot be unanimous to the last drop of blood. successful invasion might turn up quite a number who would swear that they never took much stock in the imperial divinity and it's far reaching aspirations.
 It would be foolish to underrate the kind of re- sistance our troops will meet when and if they land Kyushu Honshu It would also be foolish to overrate it. After the main cities have been destroyed factories burned and lines of transportation cut the Japanese cannot conduct a modern war They cannot get far by enlistng old and little boys or by sticking daggers into their anatomes. What they are trying to do at present is to win a compromise peace by presenting a, picture of such horror that the humane Occidental temperament cannot endure it. They overdo the effort. Japan will surrender when she has to- She has remark able number of suicide fighters-the "Kamikazes" but when they are gone the light of reason may dawn on the survivors. -

Realistic Women
Washington Post)

.t. Washington Post) tsi fl F' s
 Much as women now working in factories and offices may long to escape to the socalled sheltered
 life when peace comes it is increasingly evident that most of them will try to hold on to their jobs-at least until they definite guarantees of their bread and butter elsewhere The recent survey by the Womens Bureau of the Department of Labor showing that 80 per cent of the women employed in the Buffalo planning to stay at work after the war ends is an example of attitude prevailing widely both in this country and in England In the Detroit area the Womens Bureau found three out of four workers determined to work after VJ-Day Eighty per cent of Britans workers are counted on to continue in the job market.
 In the early days of the war both American and British warworkers expressed freely their desire to Ego back home" when their jobs were finished This gave much comfort both to men worried about postwar unemployment and to rock-ribbed conserva- tives who were disturbed about wonen's invasion of the field of industry. Now women seem to be getting more cautious. Even those looking forward ultimately to homemaking careers don't want to reinqush their jobs until husbands fiances returning from are settled economincally These women also recognize the possibility that their men, because of war in- juries, may be unable to hold full time jobs Of the Buffalo area who plan to work 95 per cent
 live with their families and out of 10 of these make weekly contributions to the family household. Two thirds of these give up in this way 50 per cent or more of their take-home earnings Children aged parents, invalid husbands, minor brothers and sisters consti- tute tner reSponSlpllluleS ALSO Hidiy WoHieH nave for the first time tasted the independence pay check can bring. As a British factory worker ex- pressed it. "a pound of your own is worth three of your husbands"
 The steady increase of women in industry during recent decades is primarily development of the industrial age. From records, it is estimated that and a half million of the women who entered the labor market during the would have done so had there been Postwar employment planners predict that about three million of the ap proximaty 18 million women now employed will give up their jobs when the Japanese are defeated Many more would probably like to do so But the machine has decreed otherwise.

sought and obtained refuge in the American Legation.
 SOVIET GENERAL SHOT This caused the second most se- we're strain on Americana Russian relations since the start of the war. Most severe strain occurred when American fliers mistakenly shot and killed a Russian lieutenant general as both the American and Russian armies were converging on Berlin. This was just before Stalin sent his savage note to the late President Roosevelt, after which U. s. troops were withdrawn to the River Elbe.)
 Dimitrov was no NaZi. He is a middle-o of-road Bulgarian political leader representing the nearest approach to Bulgarian democracy. The British, reporting on him to the State Department, said:
 We ourselves had to arrange Dimitrov's escape from Bulgaria in 1941 in order to save his life from the Germans. Subsequently he worked in the Middle East in di- rect interests of the war. We are thus certain of his consistent, &C., tive opposition to the Germans and of his anti-Fascist views"
 Illustrative of anti British sus- picion in Bulgaria, however, was the fact that the Bulgarian Com munists charged Dimitrov with being British agent Cthe British naturally had helped pay his liv- ing expenses while he was exiled in Egypt, and the British repre- sentative in Sofia had to protest the whole matter to the Bulgarian Prime Minister.
 This protest fell on deaf ears. Bulgarian militiamen, on May "A surrounded the home of U. S. Min ister Barnes, demanding that Dimit- roy be turned over to them. Barnes refused Bulgarian troops later were replaced by Soviet troops.
 The American Charge d'Affaires in Moscow demanded that these guards be withdrawn. Barnes com municated with Washington. The State Department supported him 100 per cent American troops were then placed around his house, facing Russian troops. It was not a pretty picture for two Allies so recently fighting Hitler
 Meanwhile Bulgarian Communists arrested Dimitrov's wife, her maid, and his former secretary, together with various leaders of the Agrarian Party.

however, revealed that she had been cruelty tortured.
 Meanwhile, as of May 26, all Americans visiting the home of U s. Minister Barnes were required to show Soviet passes in order to pass the Soviet guards. Even Barnes himself was required to show a pass. This, Barnes refused to sdo; and remained in his own nome. Meanwhile Bulgarian militia men carrying machine guns halted American officers belonging to the U. S. Military Mission in various parts of Sofia, refusing to let them go to their headquarters at the American college, five miles from the city.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1945-07-20

This was on May 28. On May 30, the Bulgarian Government inform cd Barnes that no attempt would be made to violate the asylum he mad given Dimitrov.
 Since then, Communist arrests of Agrarian leaders have increased, apparently with the desire of re- moving the one strong political party which could rival the Com munist Party The Bulgarian Prime Minister admitted to the British Charge d'Affaires that Dimitrov had committed no crime and they had no charge to make against him. However, as Agrarian leader, he was the one man who could have formed new anti Communist government successfully.
 Since then, American officials have not been molested. However, deep scars are left in Anglo-Ameri- can Russian relations in the Bal kans, and erasing these scare will be one of President Truman'S Ber- lin problems.
 Things have improved in the few short weeks since Truman pro- posed to General Schuyler that we pull out of the Balkans all together, but the Balkans still re- main tightly controlled Russian sphere Aof influence, just as tightly controlled as some of the British spheres in Greece and the Near East which will be discussed in this column shortly

TORTURED BY BULGARS

An official note was delivered to the U. S. and British Governments warning that the family of Dimit- roy would be tortured and killed if he were not released. The Brit ish and American Governments re- piled in note expressing their ioathing and disgust.
 A few days later, May 30, the body of Dimitrov's former secretary was found dead outside Bulgarian Militia Headquarters. The official explanation was that she had com mitted suicide. The doctors report,
