tatorship. There was no time to
establish in the minds of the people
or in the processes of government,
real, solidly built democratic phil
osophy. 1t is inconceivable that
without long period of education
the Japanese can evolve politically
to the point which the Germans new
er reached.
Americas greatest bulwark of
democracy is conceded to be the
public school.
A whole new curriculum must be
laid down for the Japanese. At pres
ent the shortage of books is serious.
The old books are, of course, almost
useless. There is likewise a short
age of trained teachers.
Another factor essential to the
growth of democratic government
is security, without which individual
effort cannot flourish.
Today in Japan no Japanese work.
err is sure that his wage in the rapid
ly deteriorating currency will pro-
vide him livelihood. No industri-
alist is certain he will have pur-
chasers and many are not sure their
factories will be allowed to operate
until the question of reparations is
settled.
In other words, the Japanese lives,
thinks, acts, by the grace of a su-
perior force, the American high
command. Remove it, and the anti
democratic forces will be let loose;
maintain it without solid founda-
ton of native grown democratic
structure springing from the people
themselves, and you are merely re-
moving a substitute for Macarthur
or an Uncle Sam, or Mikado, and
another will quickly be found.

In the emblem of Future Farmers

the symbol of labor and tillage of the
soil; the rising sun is emblematic
of progress, and the day that will
dawn when all farmers are trained
and have learned to cooperate; the
cross-section of an ear of corn rep
resents common agricultural inter-

CHICAGO.-Despite heavy drains
on the nations poultry supplies dur
ing the critical meat shortage,
Americans will sit down to turkey
and cranberries for their Thanks
giving and Christmas meals as usu-
al this year.
Reports compiled from all turkey
areas indicate that more than Al
million turkeys will be marketed,
the second largest crop on record
and only nine per cent under last
years all-time high.
Although larger percentage of
turkeys will be marketed early be-
cause of the meat shortage, there
will be plenty of birds left for the

States Unique
One-man Probes
Realize Results

LANSING, MICH. - Michigan's
unique one-man grand jury system
is developing into stable govern
ment activity, with seven inquiries
now in progress in six counties and
more than $500, GOO in state and To-
cal funds earmarked to pay the
bills.
Targets of the jurors range from
gambling, bribery and liquor con-
troll to labor and local courts. An
estimated 1890 witnesses have tes-
tilted before the inquisitors.
AS an aftermath of the investiga-
tons, nearly 200 citizens have been
indicted, the list including legisla-
tors, state and local police officials,
labor leaders, bankers, industrialists
and gamblers.
The Michigan system of one-man
grand juries dates back to the De-
troit police court procedure of the
1906. The statute providing for the
system, which was not written I'M
til 1917, enables justice of the
peace, police judge or judge of a
court of record to act as grand
juror whenever, upon filing of a
complaint by a citizen or official,
he has cause to suspect that crime
has been committed within his
jurisdiction.
Provision is made for Supporting
witnesses, who may be punished for
contempt of court.
Legality of the one-man probe has
been upheld several times by the
Michigan Supreme court, most re-
Gently in 1915.

Need Time for Democratic
Roots to Take Hold in Japan
BY BAUKHAGE
Netps Analyst and Comm entafor.

Germany and Japan lived in semi
feudal atmosphere for centuries. OF
course, the Germans belonged to
western civilization but ever since
1870 they grew under what amount
ed to a military dictatorship in a
highly disciplined society, a rigid
class system with complete subser-
vience to authority. In these re-
spects Japan is similar.
Like Germany, after World War
I, Japan has suffered crushing de-
feat, has deposed an emperor, has
absolutely no training in democrat
ic organization or democratic ac-
ton, no experience in parliament
airy government as we know it. Po-
litical parties organized in the sense
that we know them were utterly
strange to both nations, and both
peoples lived under an economy and
a society based on the support, NOR
ally and materially, of huge army
and navy.
These are some of the difficulties
which the Weimar republic faced
and the young Japanese democracy
is facing. Strong anti-democratic
influences represented by big bust
ness and the aristocracy of blood
and uniform, common to Japan and
Germany, are at least latent in the
former.
But perhaps the greatest parallel
danger in Japan today-and the
thing that eventually destroyed the
Weimar republic-is the economic
situation produced by imitation.
Many students of history feel that
Hitler never would have gotten even
a start in Germany if it had not been
for the chaotic condition caused by
the terrible imitation.
Imitation today is one of Japan's
greatest problems.

More Women Listed
As Heads Of Families

WASHINGTON. - Another after
math of war years was disclosed in
a census bureau report that increas-
ing numbers of women have moved
into positions of ''heads of families"
that is, the major bread-winner for
the family.
In 1910 only IS per cent of Amer
lean families looked to a woman
as the family head, the report re-
veals, while by We Day, 1.-The per-
centage had climbed to nearly %.
This means, the bureau says, that
three million more families have a
woman as the main support.

pan and one which poses one of the
greatest problems of the occupation.
I doubt if most people realize it.
This situation was revealed to me
by very earnest and very widely
experienced observer, just back
from Japan. The burden of his
theme was the strange unreality
which seems to envelop the life of
the Japanese people like mist. Let
me give you, as nearly as am able,
the gist of his impressions, supple
mented by other current reports of
on-the-Spot observers.
The remarkably successful record
made by General Macarthur in one
years occupation of Japan can be
written down on the credit side of
Americas postwar undertakings.
1t is, nevertheless, only a be-
ginning. Unless the structure is
completed on the foundation we
have laid, all of our work will 90
for nothing.
On the negative side, we have dis
armed Japan and destroyed its mill
tary machine. We have taken over
its industrial power. The business
monopolies have been broken up.
On the positive side, according
to Macarthur own report, "the
average Japanese no longer cringes
in the presence of the police or other
public authorities; his home has be-
come his castle; he registers his
opinion on public issues, uncon-
trolled except by his own conscience;
he enjoys the right of assembly and
petition; he worships as he chooses
in accordance with his individual
religious faith; he enjoys the un-
trammeled right individually or col
lectively to demand correction of
unjust labor practices; electoral dis
elimination has been removed"
That is probably literally true.
But it does not tell the whole story
for, according to my informant,
there are indications that the prog
ress made, the reforms achieved in
the political, economic and social
life of the country, are only forms,
and it will take long time-many
years-before those forms can be
hardened into enduring substance.
The reason for this is that the life
of the individual Japanese and acts
of their government, actually are
dominated by a supreme power
which, while it is not constantly visi-
BILE, is no less potent-that is the
power of the U. S. occupation forces.

Coveted Star Farmer Award
Given to Four Rural Youths
Top Honor Goes
To Pennsylvania
High School Boy
By w. J. DRYDEN
WNU Farm Editor.

Outstanding young farmer of
the United States is 20-year-old
William G. Carlin of c oatesville,
Chester county, Pa. He has
won the title of Star Farmer of
America most coveted honor
that can be won by an Ameri-
ean farm boy.
Of what stuff are champion farm
ers made? In the case of William
Carlin the answer would be summed
up in a statement of his zeal, his
enthusiasm, and his attention to de-
tail in developing rundown farm
into a high producing enterprise.
The award was made at the re-
cent National Victory convention of
Future Farmers of America held
at Kansas City. Carlin was chosen
from among the 200, 900 boys study
ing vocational agriculture in high
schools of the country, who make
up the membership of the F.F.A
Farming in partnership with
his brother on 100 acres of land,
Carlin has made an outstanding
record in bringing rundown
farm land back into production.
His accomplishments in soil re-
Mobilization are cited as exam
pies for farmers throughout
the country.
In 1910 the Carlin brothers took
over a farm owned by their father
and previously operated by tenants.
Through the years the land had
been literally EARNED out" with
severe gully erosion present and
with the soil in poor condition.
Purchase New Farm.
Through their classes in vocation
al agriculture in high school, these
boys learned what had to be done
to bring such land back into good
production. Land that had produced
only Is bushels of corn to the acre
in 1889 brought yield of SIS bushels
in 1912. By 1914 they had accumu-
lated enough profits to buy 80 acres
of land with house and farm build
ings. Today the farm is going
business, with assets of nearly $15,-
600. Its resources include AS head
of beef cattle, $4,000 chickens, so
market hogs, so acres of corn, IS
acres of hay and Is acres of oats
and barley.
Billy Carlin has been active in
the affairs of his community. He
is a member of the farm bureau,
farmers exchange, cooperative ex-
change and grange. In 194445 he
was president of Pennsylvania Asso-

Recover From
Stunning Loss

At first the Japanese were utterly
stunned by the suddenness of their
crushing defeat. Gradually they dis
covered that they were being well
treated and they assumed a cooper
alive attitude, an almost servile
loyalty, obedience, friendliness and
an apparently complete sympathy
with the Americans. But that does
not mean they actually have abb
sorbed our culture, socially, POLITICAL
ly or otherwise. Nor does it mean
that they have been able to build
up any real or lasting structure of
their own. An utterly exotic demo-
cratic culture has suddenly been
superimposed upon them. 1t would
be absurd from the standpoint of
human psychology or human expert
ence to expect that Japan, an almost
feudal nation, land of powerful
tradition and thoroughly oriental
viewpoint, could possibly about-face
in a period embracing even decades.
Certainly not in years.
In addition to the wide gulf that
exists between occident and orient,
there are many obstacles which
stand in the way of the achievement
of democratic Japan.
Let us look at this conquered
country through the eyes of man
who had the opportunity to study,
first-hand, the rise and fall of
democracy in Germany under the
Weimar republic. 1t so happened
that this observer also watched the
attempts at the westernization of
Turkey after the last war. Both
