The Truth, At Last

When American troops captured the
complete records of the German FOREIGN
office from 1888 to the end of World
Wal IL a problem was posed for the
United States government. What should
be done with them? How much of their
contents should be publicized? Would
1t be the part Of wisdom to let the
people learn the chicanery, double deal
ing and involved negotiations that
TRANSFERRED among leading nations and
business interests during the years of
a supremacy in Germany and the
manner in which Hitler made prepara-
tons for this world conflict?
Considering the MISUNDERSTANDING
that have sprung from transformation
or Ignorance, and finally realizing that
only the whole truth would fill the
bill, the government at Washington has
decided to publish the entire record in
book form. 1t is estimated that twenty
volumes will be required and from three
to five years OF preparation for publica-
ton.
They will throw new light on the
Russo-German non-aggression treaty
which paved the way for Hltler's at
tack on Poland. They also will reveal
British dealings with Germany at the
time of the Munich accord and Ameri
car business with German cartels.
There will be plenty of red faces
around the world, but it will be infinite.
ly better for the truth to come out
regardless of where it causes embar,
rassment.

NEW YORK, Oct. A. U.D -
Americas submarines and pre-
atomic bombers had Japan so
thoroughly whipped that the EN-
peror sought peace, through neu-
trail Russia, nearly a month be-
fore Hiroshima's d~estruction.' Long
before that, Japan had periodical
ly tried to make peace with China.
The inside-Japan story is. told in
''The Lost War;" published Wednes-
day by Alfred A. Knope. The author
is Masuo Kato, prominent Jap
anese correspondent for 20 years.
Kato was in Washington for Domei
news agency when the war started,
and was repatriated. When Domei
was dissolved after the war, the
Observation-Disclosures Kato became
managing editor Of the Kyodo news
agency.
Writing in traditional newspaper
important-things-first style, Kato
starts his book with this lead para.

THE thunderous arrival of the
first atomic bomb at Hiroshima was
only a coup de grace for an EN-.
pire already struggling in particu-
larly agonizing death throes. The
worlds newest and most deva stat
ing of weapons had floated out of
the summer sky to destroy a city
at a stroke, but its arrival had
small affect on the outcome of the
war between Japan and the United
Nations"

that totalitarian Japan's bungling
was far worse. He describes in

ousy, the drafting of vital, skilled
workers for frontline duty, and

He records a little bitterly the
Japanese army's absurd efforts to

of this, he believes no people could

TURKS FIRST CHOICE

words and ways Of little children
Turk and Tim were ending q
weeks vacation at Blue Heron
Point, and I asked the older what
he had liked best during his visit.
I expected him to tell of the thrill
of catching a dozen sunfish, or Of
s%plashing over a wide area o!
water in the bay, or of his first
boat rides, or of his adventures
in the woods.
But no; to my surprise, Mr..

whole world of new experiences to
recount, he preferred a simple
parlor game.
Well don't we all? Is not our
leisure time given to artificial
trivialities? Who listens to jazz on
the radio, and moronic compe-
%titions, when the turning of a dial
would bring in good music or wise

TOTO had tried, and failed, q
defy the Emperor in a desperate
effort to retain his premiership. OF
TOTO, Kato relates: ut was no Sc
cret within Japan that he was an
unhappy man at home, and it was
popularity whispered that although
TOTO might be dictator of the entire
Japanese nation, he was not master
of his own house. Mrs. TOTO med
died freely in political affairs, ad-
vising her husband on such mat
tiers as appointments.
Kato has a poor opinion of the
propaganda of both the Allies and
of Japan he helped write jap
anese propaganda because he saw
no other course. American broad
casts, and most leaflets, were in
effective, but BIG leaflets announc'
ing where the next raids would
strike had great effect. he adds:
my personal estimate was that
the Japanese propaganda failed
most in the Philippines and was
most successful among the Bur
mese. Successes were due primarl-
ly to racial appeal and promises;
failure was due to inability to re-
place the flow,of western goods that
the Anglo-Americans had provided
and either an incapacity or unWl-'
ingness to make good on promises
Especially in the Philippines, where
American automobiles, refrigera'

TAXPAYER SPEAKS

To the Editor:
The dangerous situation which
has arisen from the trucking of
oil through one Of the main down
town thoroughfares of Wilmington
is an indictment of the past coun-
cilmen and of the present-unless
they recognize this most serious
menace to life and property and do
all they can to correct it. 1t is to
be hoped that it will not be neces-
sary for them to have one serious
accident with loss of life and great
property damage to get concerted
action on this most important prob
lem.

Process Crops AT Home


R. Fiske Shaw, secretary of the
North Carolina Farm Bureau, address,
ing a meeting of the New Hanover
County Bureau at the Wrightsboro
Community hall, dwelt briefly, among
other things, upon the need for process
sing plants hereabouts to absorb the
surplus production of farm crops. The
occasion was particularly propitious as
a representative group of Wilmington
business men and civic club members
were present as guests of the bureau.
1t is poor economy, Mr.. Shaw pointed
out, to ship truck from New Hanover
county farms east and north only to
have it brought back in cans to be sold
over grocery store counters. The al
tentative is to process it at home and
save heavy two-way transportation
costs.
Inasmuch as nearby farmers have to
pillow under perishable crops from time
to time because there is no immediate
market for them elsewhere and all
could be utilized at a profit to the
grower by processing here, the sound
ness of Mr.. Shaw's proposal is obvious.
It has been done in other sections
to the advantage of producers, process
sers, consumers. There is no reason
to doubt that it would be equally adj
v~antageous in this region.
One notable example is offered in
the rich agricultural area surrounding
Denver. Growers Whereabouts raise
great quantities of tomatoes, cabbage
and cucumbers. Wherever one drives
in any of the farm neighborhoods may
be seen plants which, during the ripen-
ing season, are canning tomatoes, turn
ing cucumbers into pickles and cab
bage into kraut. For the most part these
plants are built and operated by groups
of growers, miniature co-ops, - who
pool their crops and jointly process
them. AS the crops are heavier than
they and their families can handle,
there are jobs for farm labor too.
In like manner the citrus crops of
California are handled. County
organizations Of growers, or in many
cases growers Of much smaller areas,
band together to build packing houses,
gather, wash, polish, wrap and pack
their crops and through their parent
organizations put their fruit on the
market.
The same principle obtains in a
great number Of growing areas. In ad-
dition enterprising manufacturers have
developed a new industry for utilizing
farm crops, truck in particular, with
exceptional success. They are process
sing baby foods, which has become a
separate branch of food manufacture
ing.
AS it happens, the vegetables best
adapted for this business are the vege-
tables which do best in this vicinity.
While the county farmers and the
business men who heard Mr.. Shaw at
Wrightsboro are mulling over his pro-
posal, they would do well to include
baby foods in any program they may
draft for processing home crops at
home.

U. S. Eighth Sin
Is Race Prejudice
Fother Gilligun Says

Father Francis J. Gilligan, pro-
fessOr Of moral theology at st. Paul
Seminary, and chairman of Gov
ernor Edward Thye's interTacial
commission, spoke at the national
annual Urban League convention
held in st Louis, Sept. Is TO 20, on
Race Relations and Human
Rights"
Father Gilligan in his speech
scored American race prejudice:
'TraditiOnally, the evil impulses
such as ayariee, and hatred, which
attack the human heart have been
designated as the seven capital
sins. The white American in the
United States seems TO be beset
by an eighth capital sin. 1t is race
prejudice. II is acquired early
through the social environment. II
is subtle. Il Is interviewer with
pride, a hunger for social respect
ability and the fear Of social humili-
alton. Yet II the white American
has achieved a fair degree Of sue
cess in graphing with the other
seven, there Ii reason 10 believe
that he can succeed In the struggle
against the eighth. And he will
struggle when he Is persuaded that
prejudice is evil" Father Gilligan
said.
ITO Negroes who have suffered
much from race prejudice, the
speaker pregumes TO offer two
counsels. One Is that they look
with suspicion upon any person
appearing on the American scene
in whose philosophy and thought
there is no place for an objective
moral law. The other counsel Is
that they keep netting the mem
bers Of the white group with the
reminder that II white persons are
intelligent, then logically they
should live their principles: that
the American philosophy of gov
eminent and the solidity Of the
American home is built upon be-
lief in the moral law and natural
rights, and that the field Of race
relations is encOmpassed In the
realm Of that law. II these truths
could be kept before the mind Of
the white American with the con-
stancy used by devices which COM
mercial advertisers use on the radio
and in the newspapers, the action
Of white Americans will change for
the better" the churchman pointed
