Patriotic Federation
To Back Peace Moves
Urged by Gen. Grant

A federation of all patriotic so.
cieties to fight politically for mill.
tary preparedness, international ma
chinery for a lasting peace anc
preservation of the type of country
created by the sacrifices of oul
ancestors was called for last nigh,
by Maj. Gen. U. S. Grant III. U. S
A, retired.
Speaking at the closing banquet
OF the national convention of the
General Society of the War of 1912
Gen. Grant urged national officials
OF the society as well as members
of its District chapter, which played
host to the convention, to make
clear to the host of citizens lacking
American family tradition just what
it was that the founders and early
leaders of this country fought to
achieve.
He said that such a federation
as he described could be a potent
tool with which to fight propaganda
aimed at tempting America to make
the same mistakes in preparedness
she has made in the past.
Sees Lesson in 1872.
The War of 1912, he said, and ir
particular the Battle of Bladensburg
where the raw militia with which
America sought to defend herself
broke before British regulars, should
nave taught this country lesson.
The lesson does not ever seem to
nave been learned" he said. Every
war has found us inadequately pre-
pared"
He said military preparedness
should be the 1912 Society's first
aim.
Many of our patriotic societies
the grandson of President Grant
said, are branded as tory. Actually
the ancestors of their MEMBERSHIPS
were liberals, and, in many cases,
were branded as radicals in their
day.
The members Of these orpaniza-
tions, he continued, have inherited
an obligation rather than the right
to register their own distinction.
This obligation could. in his opinion
be best discharged in the way out
lined.
New President Honored.
Last nights banquet, which fol-
lowed closing sessions of the con-
ventlon and election of national Of
1cers, was III honor of the new presi-
dent general of the society. Capt
Milo F. McAlpin of Indiana, and
other officers, as we'll as DR.. j. Hall
Long, retiring president general, and
other leaders in the society.
Prominent members of the Daugh-
ters of 1872 also attended.
AT the closing convention session
the society adopted a series of reso,
lutlons. many of them aimed in the
direction taken by Gen. Grants
speech.
The society called on the Presi-
dent and Congress for IAN adequate
national defense: to close this coun
try to immigration for 10 years ''un-
I'll our servicemen and women have
been able to relocate themselves in
peaceful ard gainful employ
ment': to support the United Ma
tions. and to favor only one ism
The society also asked for return
Of the historic frigate Constellation
10 Baltimore, where it was built;
of Fort McHenry
against plan to run a pipeline
through it, and appointed a COM
mittee to study the means TO create
a central repository for historic
items owned by members.

Politicians in Japan,
Barred From Office,
Now Nominate Wives
By John La Cerdo
North American h.w.pap.r AIIIene,


TOKYO, April mo one can Sc
riously believe the Japanese are fully
ready for the election scheduled for
April 10 or that they yet know the
meaning Of democracy.
Nor Is there much doubt that old
line politicians, themselves barred
from seeking election because Of
their tainted war records, are ma
neuvering behind the scene. In
fact, three Of them have put their
wives up for Office in their places.
Granted that three is an acute
deficiency of political understanding
among the people, Gen. Macarthur
nevertheless feels that anything
which results from the election will
be an improvement.
Don't forget that the present house
was elected in Tojo's time, when
there was only one party-the I'M
Iperial Rule Assistance Association
and any politician who didn't belong
to it suffered political ostracism, If
nothing worse.
BY contrast, there are now 200
parties, five Of them major ones,
with 2,815 candidates for the 466
seats in the lower house.
The press has been unshackled
and has been vigorously discussing
the campaign. Women are going to
the pools for the first time in
history
All these add up to considerable
confusion for the average little Jap
who is too busy grubbing for food
with inflated money to care much
whether he gets a democratic parli-
amentary system.
The election may not be all we de-
sire, but it is at least a symbol of
what we plan for this country. And
don't overlook the fact that If Gen.
Macarthur is dissatisfied he can
always order a new election. We
still are the conquerors here. We still
hold the upper hand.
Chief beneficiaries Of any delay
in the election would have been the
Communists.
