President and the chairman.
A beginning already has been
made to purge States Fighters from

organization was put together last
week in South Carolina, home Of

Truman's request, Representative
Rayburn Of Texas, Democratic
leader Of the House, addressed 1t

Statewide hooKup to broadcast
his remarks. Senator McGrath then
formally recognized Its choices for
State chairman and national COM
Imitteeman.
Other Plans Made.
Gov. Thurmond, elected as q
Democrat, and as national COM
mitteeman, promptly indicated ne
would fight back. But Washington
has no doubt that the law Is on its
side.
Similar plans are going forward
in Mississippi and in every South
ern State where Dixiecrats hold
National Committee places.
The Wallaceites do not figure In
any of these maneuvers as none
holds party office. Actually one OF
the things that should have warned
the former Vice President of the
character of the support he was
attracting 9as the fact that none

Democratic confidence that, nei-

ties can look forward to any fu-
ture after they have done their

generally shared by political observ-

TOKYO, Japan.-All of us In
Japan are in. q state Of vacuum.
We thought our Emperor was in
fallible, our glorious" army and
navy undesirable, and our father
land should never be "soiled by for
eign enemies"
But, alas! All proved to be un-
true. Things which we had always
revered, valued and cherished were
all thrown away like broken tiles.
We lost our faith and trust in every
thing. The sense of certainty was
mercilessly shattered. What can it
be then that we can be sure Of?
What can it be that we can depend
on? We are cast into q vacuum.
The time-old principle OF feudal-
ism-"make the people depend on
the government: don't let people
know things"-lasted firmly until
the surrender. The simplest way
to govern Is to command, the
easiest way to live is to obey. We
had been long made to stand under
the ceiling lamp and depend on it.
As long as we stay under 1t we have
light, but the minute the light goes
out, we are in total darkness of
chaotic emptiness.
Every One Here Has Lantern.
In America every person carries
a lantern in his hand, however
small It may be, and finds his way
wherever he goes. He Is more used
to his lantern than to stand under
the ceiling lamp. But here in
Japan We have never been given q
lantern Of our own.
Therefore, when we are left in
darkness to find our way we feel
extremely uneasy and nervous. It
is so strange and uncomfortable not
to have lamp over our heads. We
become very anxious to 60 to a room
where lamp Is hung from the CELL
ing and where we can feel secure in
light.
It is clear that we cannot remain
in this state of vacuum. It must be
filled with something, good or bad.
Democracy is to be put in there, to
be sure. We all know it is the finest
form of life.
Japs Have Much to Learn.
Until the Americans occupied
Japan, the Japanese knew little
about how to think for themselves.
They still have 50 much to learn.
To the average Japanese it is So
much easier to have someone tell
him what to do, what to think
some one to give him a whole pat-
tern Of life. That is why communism
must not be allowed to gain a foot
hold in Japan. The Communists
come in with ready-made schemes
and even though they are evil
schemes the average Japanese is
tempted to follow because 1t takes

somewhat saner basis than . year
ago, there Is no real cooperation
between all the nations which are
the target for the Kremlin's con-
spiracies.
We are not as well prepared as
the Soviet bloc insofar as raw ma
terials are concerned. In order to
remedy this situation discussions
have quietly taken place to organ
tze the Western nations into an
effective group with standardized
armaments and the means for easy
interchange Of raw materials and
manufactured products.
Argentinians Change.
The Argentinians, for instance
who were badly kicked around by
the United States in the days when
Spruille Braden was assistant Sec
retary Of state In charge OF Latin
America relations, have foreseen
that Western diplomacy would take
a new turn and have let bygones be
bygones. They realized that in this
coming fight for the survival Of the
Western civilization personal pique
must be forgotten. --he activities Of
Juan Bramuglia, the Argentine for
eign minister, in the United Nations
have fully demonstrated the new
trend.
If Moscow does nothing to pre-
vent an armed clash in the near
future. it is hoped that the con-
solidation of all resources Of the
Western nations will help bring the
Kremlin to its senses. This new
bloc will have a population far
greater than that Of the Eastern
bloc. 1t will control larger guam
tity of raw materials and will have
far greater chronological know-how.
In time of war, when mobiliza-
tion of resources otherwise would be
somewhat slower than that of the
modified Eastern bloc, the
existence of a Western economic
will enable the United
States and its Allies to make a far
greater war effort than the Soviet
bloc can make.
II by some miracle common sense
prevails in the Kremlin, the merger
of Western resources could make a
great contribution to the economic
and political rehabilitation Of the
world.
The blueprint, while having as its
objective the consolida-
ton of the Western forces. can have
far-reaching consequences in war

When q stalemate is reached be-
tween two highly armed great
powers, either one must retreat or
settlement be achieved on an
entirely new basis.
It is inconceivable that, under
present circumstances, either of the
two great powers will, or even can,
retreat. Each is prisoner of the
situation that has developed out
of the war and wartime events and
policies. Russia and the United
States each has justtfiable reasons
to regard the other as q menace
II one could rise above this planet
to look down ON the struggle with
utmost objectivity. one would,
think. observe that in the pattern
Of power relationships as they exist
at present, each Of the protagonists
in this drama is acting from identi-
cal motives and fears. Each FORE
sees that one more step from the
opponent might create a situation
where 1t would be impossible to
organize q defense and one would
be left at the mercy of the other
Defense Is Key.
Since the elemental condition for
the existence of any state is Its
capacity to defend itself, the issue
becomes one of life and death re-
gardless of the forms and contents
Of the states in question.
The basic cause Of World War I
and of the present cold war is the
failure of the peacemakers, in both
cases, to recognize some funda-
mental facts regarding power rela-
tionships. The Congress Of Vienna,
following the Napoleonic wars,
managed after many failures and
adjournments to construct a peace
system which endured, In all funda-
mental matters, for nearly 100
years This was because its en-
gineers. regardless of theological
differences and conflicts of national
interest. recognized the first axiom
Of enduring peace between sovereign
states. This axiom can be 80 stated:
'"The condition for a lasting peace
is the construction of such a sys-
tenn of power relationships that 1t
is to the interest Of all the powers,
victor and vanquished, to preserve
1t, while no power or combination
OF powers can anticipate overturn-
ing 1t with success"
The Versailles system broke down
because the power on which it rest
ed In Eastern Europe was a fiction,
and because it was not 10 the in
terest Of two powers-both at that
time weak but potentially strong
to preserve it, since 1t was directed
against them both. Each had a COM
mon interest to destroy it as well
as a calculable opportunity. These
powers were Germany and Russia
The system began to crumble In
1922 when Russia apd Germany
clasped hands at the Genoa Con-
ference, and exploded in 1899 when
Stain give Hitler the green light.
Thus, despite the fact that World
War I had arisen out of struggle
between Germanic and Slavic in
terests in Southeastern Europe, a
changed power situation led them
to combine against q condition
tolerable to neither.
Conditions Must Be Changed.
Satisfactory international rela-
tions obviously are impossible If a
condition exists or threatens under
which one great power Is In q posi-
ton to destroy the other. Here we
come to the present impasse. If the

power potential, she can win
