JUST WHAT do the people of the world think
when they read reports the effect that some of tn,
principal military and political leaders believe that
third World War is inevitable the rising and
setting of the sun? What do they think when they
see peace conferences degenerate INTO impotcncy
because the old game of power politics is being
played as ruthlcssly As ever?
Here at home, read that our armed forces
arc vigorously pushing the development of new
weapons of unimaGinablc destructive forcc--incud-
ing some that may prove to be more militarily
effective than tho atomic bomb. This is Of course
the plain duty of our military chiefs. They mu~
prepare for the worse and as rapidly as they can.
And in the meantime, some OF the nations seem
TO be dong everything possible to make certain
that those weapon, will I've used and soon.
At the end of World WA l. there VA, much
talk OF the lost generation. The problem At the
end OF World War II seems to be whether or no;
this shall be the last generation. If we once
more permit the world to resort to force of arms,
nation and no individual will escape the awful

Adm. William F. Halsey about a
campaign to vindicate Adm. Hus-

vestigating the 1941 disaster at
Kimmers Pearl Hsrbor base al
ready has heard that Kramer did
not answer a secret-code sugges-
tion rom a fellow officer that he
try to line up Halsey in the
cause.
That suggestion came from Capt.
L. F. Stafford, who yielded the wit
ness stand yesterday and then
heard Kramer testify that:
!. He did not see an intercepted
message from Tokyo on Dec. 4.

ington a three-day warning that
Japan was going to attack. SAT.
ford had said Kramer did see 1t.

tended. pencil on a message the
words War with U. s.. war with
England. Peace with Russia"
