Varied Reaction In Japan To Speech Of Macarthur

 a med General MacArthur's press conference declaration as the strongest, most detailed expression of Japan's present position the world has heard.
 But many of them voiced fear of being cut off from United States financial aid and of losing the sta bilizing influence of American mil itary power.
 The supreme commander told American correspondents at luncheon Monday that a peace treaty with Japan should be made soon, the occupation terminated, and future guidance of the coun- try turned over to the United Ma tionS.
 All newspapers printed MaCAr- ,hur'S statement in full WithOu. ed itorlal comment. It was the major topic of conversation.
 The supreme commanders main points cOincided with hopes which government officials have long ex- preSsed-an early peace, end of military occupation prompt deter minat;on of separations and more permanent economic assistance.
 Some young intellectuals were concerned lest withdrawal of American occupation forces would stimulate stronger political activ- ity by extremists and checkmate the growth of democracy.
 These Japanese commented that a civilian administration might not have the same restraining influ- ence on Communist elements that Macarthur and the occupation army have had.
 Japanese generally are pesSimis- tic about the authority of the United Nations. Reading of dis puLCS III lIS SCSoIOIlS, iIiCJ dI lll- clined to think its control would subject Japan to inter-Allied fric- ton. This generally has been lack ing in Japan because of the dom inant American influence.
 The Japanese feel themselves tied to Americans and that the United States is more willing and able to advance tangible financial and physical assistance which this country needs.
 Government officials, unable to speak officially, have been urging in private for months the obtaining of American loans as the sole means of solving Japan's economic crisis.

By the Associated Press

THE Anti-Saloon League Of Amer
lea reported yesterday that dry
gains in local option elections last
year were twice as great as in 1945
The league said that of 3,700 coun-
ties in the United States, 978 now
bar hard liquor, 887 wine and 4S0
beer.
1t estimated that about one-third
of the territory of the United States
is now under no-license, in which
about 100000 people live.
Miss Laura Lindley, league re-
search secretary who made the sur
vey, said this means the territory
is either dry or forbids sale of some
alcoholic beverages.
THE best estimates are" she said,
that since repeal Tin 1889 0,469
local option elections have been
held, the temperance forces being
victorious in 12,519 of them. Since
reports of local option elections are
not required to be made to control
authorities in some of the States
this figure is probably short OF the
actual number of elections held
The gain in dry units-counties
cities and towns, townships, precincts
and voting districts-in the 194t
elections was placed at 263. while the
vets had a gain of 81 units.
Miss Lindley said the best infor'
nation obtainable shows that loca
option elections were held in 2,07t
places in Is States last year, Of
which the drys won 1875 and the
vets 1893. In many cases the result
left the wet-dry situation unchanged

THE WORLD AND AFRICA. By
W. f. Burghardt Dubois. The
Viking Press. SO.
THE trouble with the world" re-
marked old Artemus Ward, "ain't
that people don't know, but that
they know what amt So" A sad
experience like this must have
prompted the director of Special
Research for the National Assoc
citation for the Advancement Of
COlOred People to write what
amounts to a comprehensive story
of the Africans contributions to
world civilization, and Of the white
peoples deliberate attempts to ig-
more or etface these achievements.
The late German explorer, Fro
benius, insisted that the idea of the
"barbarous" Negro was European
invention. Actually, the various
Negro and Negroid peoples in At
RIGA, including Egyptians, Ethio-
plans and Nubians, had had a de-
cisive influence upon the develop
ment Of culture among the Isra-
elites, Persians, Greeks, Romans,
and other ancient nations. West
African Negroes knew the art of
smelling iron long before the Euro
peans. Three early popes were Of
African birth. In the fourteenth
and fifteenth centuries the cultural
level of Africa was equal or SUI
perior to that Of large parts Of
Europe.
The Negroes moral and intellect
ual deterioration conceded with the
introduction of slavery by the
white man. DR.. Dubois narrates
bitterly the story of the shameless
exploitation Of the colored race,
by the various white powers: The
colonial system caused ten times
more deaths than actual war" 4
disgusting by-product Of this SIS
TEN was the theory Of racially su-
perior and inferior peoples, intended
to furnish the Shareholders with a
moral justification Of their crimes.
There were countless, often gigan-
tic revolts of slaves; when, finally.
! the slave trade was abolished. il
was not so much for humanitarian
as for economic reasons.
DR.. Dubois places before the
reader numerous little-known facts
concerning the population Of a con-
tinent four times the size Of II,
United States, and he emphasizes
to what a large extent Europe and
America were built on the sweat
and blood Of African laborers.
1--WE must think Of education as
a power in human affairs, and We

but who will get out and make
