Messrs. Byrnes, Bevin and Molo-
TOW therefore deserve our gratitude
and General MacArthur's They
have found a way to let him down
gracefully from a role that only a
Caesar or a Charlemagne could
have sustained for any length of
time. They have given him hap
pier new year than he might other
wise have had.
So. don't be misled by loud head
lines proclaiming, big Three Ham
string Mac!" Don't lean your head
against the nearest telephone pole
and weep. Mac isn't being ham,
strung. He's being let off the hook.
"IntOlerable" Position. @
Consider the intolerable position
he has gradually come to occupy.
Following his natural bent and,
when convenient, the directives of
the State Department, he has been
taking on, more and more, the as
pect- OF a god, a supreme law-giver.
A benign ruler to be sure, but aw-
fully omnipotent and omniscient.
It's just too much for any human
to stand up under and yet there
seemed to be no way of stopping
this development. One thing kept
leading to another.
He had been given the job of
making the Japs democratic and,
being a good soldier, he was going
to do 1t If 1t killed them. Not hav-
ing been In the United States much
In recent years, he was little rusty
on the subject of democracy as we
know 1t here at home, but he UNDER
stood the theory fairly well and he
proceeded to apply it.
Democracy means votes by the
people. So the General ordained
votes for everybody, including
women. It means political parties,
so political parties were ordained.
1t means the rights of labor, so free
dom to organize and bargain collec-
lively was decreed. 1t means Tree
education, so that was decreed, with
instructions as to what should be
taught. 1t means religious free
: dom, SCUM, well, it isn't quite clear
yet what god the Japs are to be
ordered to worship. 1t means that
wealth may not be monopolized.
That one was easy. Mac busted the
trusts.
There wasn't much left to do
except to dispose of the Japs' secret
thoughts. The old regime had spe-
cisl police to handle this matter
but there Is no way of knowing what
success they had. How to get at the
Japs' secret thoughts2, That was a
puzzier. but Mac had to solve it or
admit he Is not omniscient.

The. new agreement reached at
Moscow should save him from this
predicament, for it is. calculated to

into the realm of reality. The other
allied countries are to have some
thing to say concerning the re-
