STAIN: MURDERER
O AMERICAN
SOLDIERS
reprint from Chicago Tribune,
Aug. a, 1947)

reprint from Chicago Tribune,
Aug. a, 1947)
THIS nation was angered last
year when Tito of Yugoslavia, by
shooting down two American planes,
murdered five American soldiers.
Tito as usual, was a minor Offend
er when compared with his master,
the archmurderer Stain.
Stain and his government took
the lives of tens of thousands Of
American fighting men = the men
who fell in the last six months Of
the Pacific war. This he did by
intercepting and forestalling for six
months Emperor Hirohito's attempts
to surrender. The story is told in
a recent issue Of Foreign Service
by Brig. Gen. Bonner Fellers, who
was in charge of psychological war
fare on Gen. MacArthur's staff.
Fellers got it direct from Hirohito,
and verified from other sources.
Hirohito knew the war was lost
when the Japanese forces were de-
storyed in the Philippines, in Feb,
1915. From that time on he made
repeated attempts to open surrend-
er negotiations. Because the Jap
militarists controlled every avenue
of communication, his only approach
to the United States was thru our
supposed ally, Russia. The Rus
slams demanded extortionate con-
cessions merely to serve as inter-
mediaries.
Several weeks before Potsdam
former Premier Konoye, who had
made the last desperate effort to
meet President Roosevelt and avoid
hostilities in 1941, was in Moscow,
with blanket authority from Hiro-
hito to arrange a surrender. Stain
knew why Konoye was there, but
refused to see him. Instead Stain
went to Potsdam and extracted en-
ormous concessions from Harry S.
Truman for "entering the war"
against Japan.

u. S. FIGHT REDS IDEA POPULAR WITH
MOST EUROPEANS
BY Hal Foust

New York, Aug. Many per.
sons both in Europe and the Unit
ed States want America to fight
Russia.
In Europe, the most active (un.
dercover, of course) advocates. OF
America going to war with Rus
sia are the Germans. They think
the United States would then feed
and clothe them as allies. Such
an alliance would be expensive fol-
America because the Ge1mans could
not support themselves and lack in
dustry, raw materials, and man
power to contribute to any such
war.
The Balts = Estonians, Latvians
and Lithuanians-also are eager for
America to go to war against Mos
COW. They see this as the only
chance to free their little countries
from the Kremlin's rule.
Firms Also Want a War
The Films want to fight Russia
again. The last time / was in
Helsinki, former Finn soldiers risk
ed Russia's ire to tell me that they
awaited only Washington's promise
of help before rising against their
Red oppressors.
The Poles want to come out of
the woods and fight in the open
against their Russian commanded
Communists. Conservative Poles all
argued with me that America un-
der the Atlantic Charter, owes Po-
land it's freedom from the Kremlin.
l have heard the same sentiments
from Austrians, Hungarians, and
Romanians, and from some of the
different peoples of Czechoslovakia
chafing under Red rule.
10 Per cent in U. S. Back War
In America about 10 per cent of
the persons with whom l discussed
the subject said we should go to
war with Stain now. They said
he was a threat to world civiliza-
ton and American security and
that the Red star is the same me-
mace to the world today that the
swastika was in 1910.
Another 10 per cent of my con-
facts with Americans said they
thought we could stem the spread
of communism with economic mea-
sures. Something like call steps
short of war;.
Most of the. Americans l inter-
viewed informally during my 6o
day vacation were not giving much
thought to Europe. They were Won
dering whether the tardy corn In
the west would mature before fall
frosts and about other domestic
problems.

Gov. Ford Moy Coll
Special Session Of
Mont. Legislature

Observation-Disclosures a way can
be found to plug the loopholes in
the slot machine law, Gov. Sam c.
Ford will call a special session of
the Montana legislature to bring I'M
der control the so-called non-profit
clubs.
Under the present law-as amend
ed by the 30th legislative assembly
almost any three persons can or
ganize a non-profit club and secure
a slot machine license.
This situation has attracted "big-
time racketeers and gamblers to
Montana from the Pacific Coast and
neighboring states" Ford said.
1T is a disgrace to the people and
to the state, and it must be ended, -
the Governor said.
At the time the amendment was
passed after heated debate, it was
the feeling of many legislators that
the various private clubs-such as
the Montana Club in Helena and
Country Clubs-should be allowed
to have slot machines. So the pro-
vision for "non-profit" clubs was
written into the Hickey Law" of
1897, which specified that the one
armed bandits could be legally OPP
Grated only in religious, charitable,
and fraternal clubs.
Chairman Sam Coca said that the
Federal government is collecting
an annual tax on about 5000 slot
machines in Montana. His Office has
collected a state tax on less than
300
