OUR STAND ON PUBLIC ISSUES

ODLAS 4CCOGO
EVERY NOW N again we hear criticisms Of what
II critics call a co~nciiatory attitude, or somebody thought
esSiy makes a quip about what is pleasing in certain direc-
Ions. The AVIS has never believed in waging a battle mere
II tor the sake Of attracting attention, nor has there been the
weakness to jump on the side which, for the moment at least
seems popular. In that spirit we have taken a stand on prac-
dcaLly every public issue, and have, as a result, incurred the
wrath and dlspleasure OF so many citizens. However, that was
to be expected, and we continued, having in mind only the
greatest good for the greatest number That, we believe, is the
attitude which a newspaper should take.
THERE WA THE time when we disagreed with the
Council in instances, and the then members of the legislature
often took time out to level attacks at this paper right from
the floor OF the Council We have spoken out on every issue
which we thought important enough, taking a stand, regard
less OF which was the popular sentiment We admit that this
is difficult to do, but it is the only lasting and permanent way.
Many of our readers no doubt remembered the time when
Mr.. Totten took the AVIS and its Editor apart in his numer-
Gus releases, and for no greater reason than that we differed
on matters OF public interest. Proof of the correctness of our
stand was fully given when we presented Mr.. Totten on the
AVIS FORUM. We felt that as a leader, it was our duty to
present him, the thought being that he had some definite con-
tribution to make, via the public forum. If, during the time
allotted him, he embarked upon what was not expected, or
deviated from what was considered the purely neutral stand
we are in no way to blame. In ~disagreeing or differing we did
it on a purely impersonal basis, and Just as the FORUM was
put at his disposal SO will it welcome any leader who has a
message and gives the assurance that it will not be used to at
tack others, nor stir up i'll will in matters personal.
IN TAKING A TAND, therefore, if it should be that
any official seems pleased or satisfied, that is purely coinci-
DENTAL having no design on our part whatever. We feel that
the time has come when efforts should be directed to i'm

Reported in Moscow
General Told Of Testing

On Coptives, Reds Soy
By the Associated Press

MOSCOW, Dec. 26. - Twelve
japanese army officers have plead
ed guilty before a Soviet military
court in Siberia to charges of de-
veloping deadly germ warfare be-
fore and during World War II,
Moscow's official press and radio
reported today.
The war crimes trial began yes
terday only two days after the
Russians announced they were
prosecuting the IL, including four
generals. They are accused in
the indictment of partially utiliz-
ing" such weapons as non-explo-
sive bombs to spread feas and
other insects carrying deadly
plague and cholera germs.
(The suddenly announced trial
was seen by some observers as
Russia's answer to demands of
japanese and American occupa-
ton authorities for the release
of Japanese soldiers held as pris-
oners of war four years after the
fighting stopped)
(Russia claims she is holding
10000 japanese as war criminals,
but japanese officials say the total
is much higher. American Army
officials say the germ warfare
charges are old stuff. On Janu-
ary 8. 1916, the Army announced
that intelligence reports gathered
in Japan disclosed the Nipponese
had experimental with use of
germs as weapons, but added
there was no evidence they actu-
ally had resorted to bacteriolog-
ical warfare.)

"In the summer of 1941, for
example. Is persons were brought
by plane prison units to this firing
ground. They were tied to iron
posts and then porcelain bombs
filled with plague f1eas

firing ground. Col. Gotta, who di-
