Quite Show We're Putting On in Japan
By Ernie Hill

TOKYO.-The British are sitting back
and with jaundiced eye watching United
States efforts to revive Japan militarily
and economically.
It's not that they don't approve of
the basic goals of the United States.
It's just that the Americans some
times leave them breathless by accom-
plishing tremendous reforms and then
turning 180 degrees and deciding the
reforms were all wrong in the first place.
Then there are the "quickie Asian
experts" like Gov. Thomas E. Dewey
who race through Asia and solve all of
Japan'S problems by deciding the Japa-
nese should take over the Southeast
: Asia markets which the British have
#cultivated and controlled for years.
The parachute visitors" are always
full Of such sure-fire ideas, say the
British.
Official American foreign policy itself
not only leaves observers breathless,
it often succeeds in making the Japa-
nese dizzy-like riding too long on q
merry-go-round.
Take the matter of rearmament. The
new japanese constitution, written under
the supervision of Gen. Macarthur, says
the country shall never again have an
army, navy or air corps.
In fact, f1recrackerS over two inches
long as strictly unconstitutional.
Now the United States wants Japan
to rebuild its war potential.
We have given the japanese police
force" which was recently renamed the
security force" some SO tanks and a
large quantity of anti-aircraft, bazookas
and other minor items like mortars and
field guns.
The Americans. of course explain
that this is a different world in 1852
from the one we had in mind back in
1916 and 1947.
Then there is the matter of the "zai-
batsu." This is kind of giant financial
trust or family cartel that makes Amer
ican trusts look like philanthropic or
ganizations.
Under Macarthur, the occupation gov
ernment dissolved these trusts and out
lawed them forever.
But without them, we are now discov-
ering that there is no ready capital in
Japan to finance industrial moderniza-
ton and expansion. There is no capital
for needed building programs.
At the moment, American Embassy
attaches are shaking their heads over
the thoroughness with which their col
leagues of few years ago trust-buSted
Japan into the condition it is now in.
At the same time, the old families
and the old trusts are coming back.
Under the japanese system of economics
many believe they are essential so long

Her Birthplace

As one ,uho breatl1es the presence of the
dead,
The noble, mighty dead, Dho neuer

So soothed. U1en bufeted ,oith the

For here, child, she opened maiden

The WilloaUs ,oear her lithenesS, and the

For there she blushes, and all the sunset

Are garments 1Uhich her soul informs

The British, watching these develop
mentS with some perspective, even find
political reform in Japan bit amazing.
Under the MacArthur-inSp politi-
cal regulations. newspapers are not per-
, mitted to run accounts of political
speeches during campaign. NewSpa-
perS are not allowed to indorse certain
candidates or even certain parties.
A letter in the Tokyo Evening News
recently stated that the writer was in
censed at the strict election laws laid
down for Japan.
However" the writer stated, ION not
ing the low level to which the Republi-
can and Democratic candidates have
stopped in their United States presi-
dental campaign speeches, I am now
more inclined to think that it would not
be such bad idea to apply the soap
(Supreme Commander of Allied Powers

United States, too.
The cleanness of the Japanese elec-
ton last October was in striking con-

this is the penalty we must pay for los
ing the war. Only the winners can have

served?
1t is very disgusting situation to
most Americans who know anything of
the history of the various European
countries for the past rs years. They
never seem to learn from experience
but. then, when one really stops to
think-who does? I suppose the real
answer is we are all human-not divine.

to Senator Nixon after reading David

Automobile Inspection

Automobile inspection
1t would be both interesting and en-
tightening if James w. Tierney, whose
letter you published on November 20
under the caption Wont Get in Line"
would be more specific in his reference
to the frequent scandals" in the Dis
tricts auto inspection and the frequent
news items telling how easily they dis
tricts driver license requirements) are
circumvented; of how one man poses as
another and gets license, ETC.
Annual inspection of motor vehicles
in the District of Columbia was author
lied by an Act of Congress, approved
February 18, 1888. and has been in op-
Grafton since June Is, 1899, when the
first cars went through the test stations.
During the 13 years since then. it has
been found necessary to take disciplinary
action against certain of the inspectors
for failing to comply with instructions,
just as any employer would have done.
But to what scandals" does Mr. Tierney
refer? His allegations are a reflection,
I feel, on the honesty and integrity of
our test station personnel and should by
all means be clarified.
do not recall ever having seen one
of the frequent news items" telling how
easily our driver license requirements
are circumvented. Many persons have
attempted to do this and have learned
to their regret that they were required
to pay fines or forfeit collateral for so
doing, to say nothing of our refusal to
issue a drivers permit which followed.
Here again, I feel that Mr. Tierneys
unfounded charge is unfair to our honest
and conscientious staff of permit exam
iners. 1 repeat that he should be more
specific.
George E. Keneipp,
Director Of Vehicles and Traffic.
There seems to be a selfish reason in
the demand for automobile inspection
in Maryland. Safety is not the reason.
Drivers cause wrecks. Many cars in
wrecks are late models with careless or
drunken drivers.
Inspection for slight defects will de-
prive many a mechanic or laborer of
transportation to work. Jobs are so far
apart one must have car of some kind
1t will mean many Sad-hearted farm
tenants children who cherish that Sat-
urday trip to town. The driver must be
careful, for his car means all to him.
The inspection law may be needed for
automobile statesmen with millions of
new cars to sell but not to less fortunates
who must have old cars to earn living.

From The Star of December 6. 1877
The new Democratic daily, the Washington
Post, made its appearance this morning in lively
readable form, and will doubtless come up to the
mark geographically when it gets fairly on its
legs. The Post takes occasion to disclaim the
purpose attributed to it Of entering upon the
advocacy of Timber money" and various schemes
for depicting the Treasury of the United States
and says that its ambition and purpose is Ito

This editorial salutation was accompanied by
a news story on the first page, attributed to the
Washington correspondent of the New York Sun,
reporting Democratic caucus on Capitol Hill the
day before. Stilson Hutchins the Posts founder,
appeared at this caucus to explain the intent of
the Post to support the Democratic Party.
Interest was high, the reporter wrote, until
MIR. Hutchins got down to brass tacks. The story
continued "'The best way of extending this
support said Mr.. Hutchins (by this time the
enthusiasm of the caucus began to radiate
through the side >doors), is for each member to

enthusiasm by The Star in thus greeting the
birth of another Washington newspaper. The

Stanky, who has the Cardinals SO
steamed up that Owner Fred Saigh
tore up his two-year contract last
night and gave him a new one
running through 1854, has an
ambitious goal for his team, but
it wouldn't be wise to sell him
short.
IF we can win IS in a row,
we can go all the way" Stanky
told the club after last nights
81 victory over the Giants. If
that sounds like a pipedream, it
might be pointed out that the
Cardinals have won "a and lost 10
since the last day of June and
now have seven straight victories.
We've got to beat them all
ncw-everybody in sight-if we're
going to win the pennant." Stanky
said.
Disappointment for Miller.
Stu Miller. heady 24-year- old
rookie up from the American AS
sociation, pitched the Giants bat
ting averages down the drain last
night. He let Leo Durocher's
dandies down with three hits while
Leo was sitting it out somewhere
in the stands, still under suspen-
sion for some misconduct.
Stanky was happy but Stu was
a bit disappointed with his third
straight victory since coming up
to the majors. The Giants marked
