AMERICAN COLONIALs
ARE COMING HOME :

anyway? We've got to keep these
people in their place"
But he didn't fool the average
German or Japanese. They know
who won the war: the American
soldier. not the American colonial.
Now the lush years are about
over. With allied government su-
pervision lifting in both Japan
and Germany, the American col
onials are finding their privileges
and their jobs evaporating.
Many, let out of one post, are
frantically grabbing for a spot
with other American agencies op-
Grating around the world. Any
thing TO keep from coming back
to the reality here. For a num-
Der who have come home have
written back to them:
For heavens sake, be smart
and stay over there on the gravy
train as long as you can. The
prices here will murder you.
BY and large, the American
colonials did about as fine a job
as could be expected, given the
temptations they had. But it's
a good thing most of them are
going to come back home.
The American isn't meant by
nature or training to be either a
colonial-or colonial boss.

NEW TREATY
Dy James NARROW


WASHINGTON, tR-Out of
necessity in the cold war with
communism a new kind of peace
1t was shown in the treaty this
with long strings attached.
It was shown in the tearty this
country signed with Japan. And
it appears in the threat being dis
cussed for Germany. The latter
hasn't reached the signing stage
yet.
The treaty with the japanese
not only said they were free ag-
ents-free to re-arm and trade
and deal with other countries
but it also said Japan could agree
with any foreign power to keep
troops in Japan.
This meant no one but the Uni
ted States. And almost sinultan-
eously with signing the peace
treaty, We signed the military
agreement with Japan, letting US
Keep American forces there indef-
lnltely.
There could hardly have been
any treaty in the first place il
the Japanese hadn't agreed to let
American troops stay. For one
thing, the treaty still isn't final
and can't be until the Senate ap-
proves.
The Senate wouldn't give the
japanese blank check which
could be used against us. 1t

cupatioH If the allies want to
bind her to them as an ally, they
must make a bargain with her.
The best bargain is a peace treaty
But the allies, because of the
uncertain future and the unpre-
dictable moves of communism.
don't feel ready for a full treaty.
The three foreign ministers here
talked all week about "contrac-
tual agreement"
This would be kind of peace
treaty with Germany, including a
big "if": If the allies see any
danger Of communism taking ov-
er-nternally or by outside at
tack-they reserve the right to
step in.
That's the way the thinking has
been going.

wouldn't leave them free to go

thow or line up with communist
China and Russia in a military
pact against us or even try to
remain neutral i'm the pacific
where we need her as an ally
American troops in Japan arc
pretty good insurance against any
Japanse; communist seizure of
power by a coup, or eonTnun-
ist attack from the outside And
a re-armed Japan will be tied
in with American defense plans.
Of course, an unpleasant ques-
ton arises here: what happens If
American-Japanese relations de-
teriorate and the day comes when
a Japanese government asks us,
or tells us. to get our troops out
that's a bridge that will have to
be crossed later, if we reach that
point.
For the past week the forign
ministers of the United States
Britain and France Dean Ache
son, Herbert Morrison and Ro-
bert Schuman- have been meet
ing here in Washington, discus
sing number of their mutual
problems. None was more import
ant than Germany.
What kind of peace treaty for
her? We've just made one with
Japan. now the Germans want
one. The war has been over six
years. The u. S. has occupied Ja-
pan that long. and the u. s., Brit
ain and France have occupied
western Germany six years, too.
It's been impossible to make a
treaty with all Germany. The
Russians occupy the eastern part.
Madison County Democrat. (London, Ohio) 19??-1958, 1951-09-18

And the allies and Russia haven't
been able to agree on a single
treaty or single government for
all Germany.
The allies don't want Germany
in the Russian camp; the Rus
slams don't want Germany in the
allied camp. Since the two sides
can't get together, they've made
the most of what they had:
Russia set up government for
eastern Germany; the allies set
up a German republic in the
western part. And they want n es-
tern Germany as an ally against
Russia. They want German troops
in the European army they're
creating.
Meanwhile, the West Germans
are restless under the six-year oc-

De Castro Vetoes Bill
Passed by ST. Croix
Council on Fees

Governor de Castro return
ed to the Municipal Council of
st. Croix the Fee Bill for per
mlts, surveys and licenses,
passed on July II, 1851 under
the Building Code. The Gov
ernor gave as his reason for
vetoing the bill the fact that
the Council had changed many
OF the fees established by the
Superintendent of Public
Works under the Building
Code, whereas section IA of
the Code limits the action of
the respective Municipal Coun
ellis approving or disappearing
the entire fee bill and does not
vest in the Council teh autho-
rity to alter, amend, or change
any of the fees.
Governor de Castro also
pointed out that the reduced
fees, proposed by the Council,
in some instances would not
be in keeping with the cost of
surveys and would represent
an outright subsidy which is
neither necessary or desirable.

Iran Cabinet 10 Meet
On Lifting Martial Law
BY the Assoeioted Press

TEHERAN, Iran, April Pre-
mier Hussein Ala called a cabinet
meeting for late today to consider
lifting martial law in Teheran.
Martial law was imposed March 20
after the terrorist assassination of
former Premier Ali Razmara.
An informed source said the gov
ernment favors retaining martial
law in the Persian Gulf oil-pro-
ducing area although the strike
situation in the British h-owned
fields is reported quiet.
Lifting of martial law in the
capital has been proposed to pave
the way for a vote of confidence
In the Mails (Parliament), which
is scheduled to reconvene to-
morrow.
There has been considerable op-
position to martial law and Ala is
believed unwilling to risk the life
OF his new cabinet on the issue.
DR.. Mohammad Mossadegh,
leader of the move to nationalize
Trans Oil resources, said he would
vote against the cabinet on the
martial law question.
