former japanese army officer
presented himself at an Ameri-
can Army headquarters, saluted
smartly and said: General, I can
have my old regiment ready to GO
by Monday morning.
The incident probably never
happened at least in quite that
way. But it is an authentic illus
tration of Japanese attitude.
What did happen was that
thousands of japanese ex-soldiers
and officers volunteered to fight.
Newspapers unanimously. day
after day, proclaimed Japan's
right and duty to assist in the
Korean struggle. And the entire
people, in effect. placed them
selves at the disposal of the war
ring democracies.
1t would be naive to assume that
this was result Of overweening
affection or admiration for the
United States-although we have
won a certain degree of both.
The more compelling reasons
are:
/. Japan's interests, politically
and economically are tightly tied
with our own.
2. The Japanese are naturally
anxious to have an end to the
occupation, to resume normal
trade relations with the rest of the
world, and to take their place in
the United Nations.
3. Having had three wars with
China and Russia, and with a
high degree of hatred and sus-
picion for both nations even when
they were not actually at war, the
japanese are under no illusions
about their own fate If the two
Communist giants ever break loose
in the Orient.
Those are the true reasons why
Japan is powerful potential ally
of the United States, and the
United Nations, today.
Nations have no permanent
friends; but they do have perma-
nent interests. Ours and the
japanese, at this hour at least
are practically identical.

DR.. Vannevar Bush, World War
II head of the Office of Scientific
Research and Development. says
the shaped" explosive charge is
one of the new weapons the
United States needs to help pre-
vent a third major conflict.
The shaped" charge-flrst used
in the Korean war-utiliZed new
method of packing an explosive
into a bomb or artillery shell. it
is designed to concentrate the
force of the explosion for greater
penetration of armor plating.
DR.. Bush. now president of the
Carnegie Institution of Washing
ton, spoke yesterday at dedication
ceremonies for a new Armstrong
Cork Co. laboratory.
Because of the effectiveness of
shaped" explosives. DR.. Bush
said, heavy tanks may become a
liability instead of an asset"
1T is said." he added, that
Russia has 10000 tanks and her
whole land tactics are focused

To Use A-Bomb to Sove Lives
NEW YORK, Sept. % (P.-Dr.
Arthur H. Compton, one of the
men who voted to atom bomb
Japan, says it would have been
traitorous not to have used the
bomb.
And he would vote again to
use A-bombs if it would help in
defending freedom and saving
lives" the Nobel-prize winning
physicist writes in the American
Magazine. published today. His
article, as told to Edwin T. Con-
nell. is entitled God and the
Atom"
DR.. Compton, chancellor of
Washington University. st. Louis,
was one of the atom bomb scien-
fists.
At the request of the Secretary
of War, he took a poll of scien-
lists. and while the voting was
divided. the majority favored
dropping the bomb"
He did not express his own
opinion until specifically asked for
it. he adds. A committee had
tried in vain to think of some way
of demonstrating to Japan the
power of the bomb. without de-
stroying lives, he says.
In the hope of bringing the war
to quick close, and thus of saw
ing perhaps millions of lives. I be-
came convinced that the bombs
should be used against Japan, and
so cast my vote.
1.-THE killing of many men and
women and children is a terrible
evil. Yet, not to have used this
new-found power to stop short the
most disastrous war In history
would have been objectionable.
