attitude toward Siam was communi-
Gated to the British government and
probably played a part in the out
come of the negotiations.
The maintenance of Siamese inde-

have a constructive influence on
other settlements in Southeast Asia.
OF course, Siam still has to make
settlement with France, against
whom it was likewise involved in
hostilities under Japanese guidance.
But the friendship of the United
States and the British Common
wealth should enable that settle
ment to be made along similar lines
to the one just negotiated at Singa-

DemobiIizution Showdown

1t is regrettable, indeed, that it
has become necessary for the War
Department to put the brakes on its
demobilization machinery overseas,
but there seems to be no alternative
in view of the failure of the Selec-
tive service and voluntary recruit
ment systems to produce replace
ments fast enough to keep pace with
Army discharges. When it is realized
that nearly 100000 soldiers have
been> returned to civilian life since
last May, the magnitude of the de-
mobilization accomplishments is
readily apparent. In fact, as Sec
retary of War Patterson points out
the separations have proceeded at
such rapid rate since the end of
hostilities that some of the Army's
occupation and other overseas gar
risons have been gravely depleted.
That there would be temporary dis
organization of many units was
fully expected, but what has been
giving commanders concern now is
the fact that promised requirements
have not arrived on schedule and
the dislocation was beginning to
attain degree of permanency that
was seriously hampering the Army
in its occupation and other postwar
tasks.
Whereas the Army had adjusted
It's discharge exodus to correspond
to an estimated replacement influx
of $4,000 draftees a month, the
actual number of requirements per
month from this source has fallen
about $4,000 short of expected totals.
The recent decision to exempt
fathers from the draft, with other
well-intentioned relaxations deemed
desirable after VI day, has tended
to retard inductions. Moreover, the
Army believes that the voluntary
recruiting program has about
reached its peak. Most of the volun-
teers to date have been soldiers
desiring to re-enlist, and the number
: of applicants in this category is
bound to taper off in ensuing
months.
The showdown in releases will
mean that about 100000 men who
otherwise would have been eligible
to return to the States within the
next three months will be held
for approximately another three
months. A good many of these men
have endured the risks and the
enervating effects of hand-to- hand
combat with the enemy, and their
disappointment over the news that
they may have to remain overseas
until next July can readily be
imagined. Actually, however, most
of these men were destined to re-
main abroad until July / under
the Army's original rehabilitation
schedule. The speed of that pro-
gram was just too much for the
replacement machinery to match.

Admiral Lund Resiqns

In his letter accepting the resig-
nation of Vice Admiral Emory S.
Land as chairman of the Maritime
Commission and administrator of
the War Shipping Administration
President Truman spoke warmly of
the Admiraps superb accomplish
ments" in position of critical i'm
portance. The high character of
this service is further attested by
the fact that Admiral Land was the
recipient late last year of two Dis
tinguished Service Medals, pre-
sented by the Secretaries of War
and Navy on behalf of the Presi-
dent.
But the finest testimonial to Ad-
miral Lands achievements, and the
one in which he doubtless takes the
greatest pride, is the tremendous
merchant fleet now flying the,
American flag-the fleet which
made it possible for the Allied ma
tions to fight a global war and
win it.
When the war began in Europe,
this country's merchant fleet was
decidedly second rate -totaling
about 10,500,000 deadweight tons.
Up to May of last year something
more than 6,50O,OOO tons had been
sunk by the Axis. But the produc-
ton of new ships under Admiral
Lands direction was stepped up so
tremendously that the collapse of
Germany found the United States
with merchant fleet aggregating
more than 5000O,OOO deadweight
tons, or the approximate equivalent
of all the merchant shipping in
the world prior to the war.
This production marvel, which
the late President Roosevelt once
described as almost unbelievable,
was not easily achieved. AT one
time, after his celebrated verbal
brush with the organizers" variety

shoot at sunrise" Admiral Land

Sium Gets q Peace Pact

Although Siam is small and rela-
lively unimportant country, the con-
clusion of a peace treaty between it
and Britain is significant for several
reasons. To begin with it is the first
complete settlement negotiated be-
tween one of the victorious Allied
powers and one of the defeated
enemy nations. The document, fit
tingly signed in recovered Singa-
pores historic Government House,
provides not merely for the ending
of state of war but for the full re-
establishment of peaceful relations
between Siam and Britain, together
with India and other members of the
British Commonwealth of Nations.
Siam gets off lightly for it's col
laboration with Japan, which en-
abled the Japanese war machine to
strike so quickly and effectively at
both adjacent Burma and Malaga.
Besides restoration of British prop
erty or indemnification for losses in
CURED by British interests, Siam is
obliged only to deliver part of it's
large surplus rice crop gratis and to
market the balance at fixed rate.
Prewar commercial and trade agree
ments are restored. Siam surrenders
territories handed her by the Japa-
nese in Burma and Malaga. She also
agrees to participate in regional Sc
curity arrangements in Southeast
Asia and the Southwest Pacific un-
der the provisions of the United Ma
tions Charter, in return for which
Britain and India agree to sponsor
Slams admission to membership in
the United Nations.
The upshot is that Siam emerges
from the war with its independence
and sovereignty unimpaired, and
with indemnity requirements easily
within her ability to perform. Since
the country suffered scant physical
damage during the war, it can
quickly regain the normal level of its
prewar existence.
The lenient character of this
peace settlement is due partly to the
fact that Slams adhesion to the
japanese side was engineered by a
pro-Japanese clique and was op-
posed by large part of the people.
So effective was the resistance
movement within the country that

Strike! Strike! Strike!
A Message for the Ne,o Year
By the Req. William L. Darby, DID,,
District Secretary, American Bible Society,"

As we enter the portals of another
year these words have an ominous
sound. During recent months we
have heard them all too frequently
and we still hear them. The grave
issues at stake between capital and
labor have not been settled and we
do not know how soon they will be.
Paralysis of production or transpor-
tation Is never pleasant prospect
and many of us Washingtonians
know how inconvenient a strike may
be. Sometimes the results are tragic,
especially If the whole Nation suffers
in consequence. Surely more of the
spirit Of Christ on both sides of these
controversies would prevent these re-
peated strikes. The public welfare
demands some wiser policy than any
thing we now have for the settle
ment of such conflicts and we hope
one will be evolved ere long.
However, / want to use the word
here with quite different meaning.
During the war the Allies struck hard
blows, one after another, against
common foes. on land or sea or In the
air, until final victory was won. Even
though peace has come, let us realize
that we must continue to strike such
blows II we are to conquer other
enemies. They are to be found both
without and within - selfishness.
greed and many more - and they
must be overcome If our world is to
be dominated by truly Christian
ideals and standards.
Men of good will in America and
other nations should strike the hard
est possible blows against the power
ful forces of evil rampant on every
side and strike also in the interest of
every good cause that makes for
human betterment. This is partic-
ularly true Of religious persons of
every faith, who should join hands,
clergy and laity together, for the
making of that better world for
which We work and pray.
Our immediate need this year is
for vigorous warfare in moral and
spiritual realms. There are great
and terrible evils we must combat,
as well as noble and worthy ebjec-
tives for which we must strive. Vast
sums of money are being spent for
relief in Europe, as they should be,

Biological Warfare

Another threat which modern
warfare imposes not only on human
beings but on all forms of life has
just been disclosed by the War De-
partment. 1t comes in the form of
a letter addressed to Secretary Pat
terson by George w. Merck, head of
the research organization on biolog-
ical warfare. Translated into plain
language, this means the study of
the spreading of infection and
disease among men, animals and
plants.
To the average laymen, such prof.
ects are apt to appear more diaboli-
cally horrible than poison gas or
even the atom bomb. And the group
Of scientists intrusted with this re-
search warn US that biological war
fare may involve a greater threat to
world peace and safety than either
the gas or atomic peril. Aside from
It's potentialities, biological warfare
could be developed even in small
countries at relatively slight expense
and perhaps under the guise of
legitimate medical or bacteriologi-
cal research. The letter therefore
strongly recommends that the con-
troll and inspection of such activities
be included in machinery for en-
forcing peace on a world wide scale.
Biological warfare has been con-
sidered and studied by general staffs
OF many nations, including our own,
at least since World War I. The
japanese were known to be espe-
cially active in this field in the inter-
war period, with the Germans not
far behind. Accordingly, research
was intrusted to a special group
here in 1s4l, working in conjunction
with similar groups in Britain and
Canada. The primary objective was
devising protective measures against
biological attacks; but this defensive
aim inevitably involved the prepara-
tion of offensive measures, especially
in retaliation for enemy activities
along this line Fortunately, the
Axis refrained from biological as it
did from gas warfare during World
War II, primarily because they did
not devise effective methods of wag-
ing them and also because they
feared our retaliation As a matter
of fact, we appear to have progressed
much further than our foes in the
biological field of warfare, though
just what was accomplished remains
a "top secret" Yet even the broad
generalizations disclosed make grim
reading.
The one bright aspect OF this
otherwise macabre revelation is the
fact that, as result of these re-
searches, number of useful dis
coveries were made In the control
or prevention of disease among men,
animals and plants. Those dis
coveries will be made known in so
far as they do not impair military
efficiency in future contingencies.
