LEST WE FORGET The Jap, in the chagrin of defeat, has stepped out of character long enough to let slip a plain warning that this war will be resumed if and when he is able to strike again. . It has been the Jap’s way to strike without warning, as the Russians learned when the Japanese opened fire first and declared war afterward in 1904, and as the nation learned at Pearl Harbor. For once, rage has overcome the treacherous caution of Jap spokesmen. “We have lost, but this is temporary,’ declared Kusho Oya, chief of the overseas bureau of the Japan Broadcasting Corporation. “We have bowed to the enemy's material and acientific power. However, in spiritual power we have not lost yet. We do not think the way we have thought has been wrong.’ : Even more direct was the statement in defeat of the influential Jap newspaper “Yomiuri Hochi.” “‘In a man’s life, there are ups and downs,” the paper told the people in an editorial. “Likewise, in history, nations have their rise and fall. It is sufficient if we conquer, in the final stage, the temporary adverse circumstances and obstacles.”’ In time, the civilized world hopes, the mad lust for wor!d conquest may fade from the national consciousness of the Japs. Until that time comes, if ever it comes, this nation should never make the fatal mistake of relaxing her vigilance in the Pacific. The American people crushed the rattler’s head into the soil of its lair—and the rattler dreams of revenge upon us. ‘Let this people never forget.—Contributed. CONGRESS FACES CRISIS Congress. will reconvene to confront the war's aftermath of the weightiest responsibilities ever laid upon a free legislative body. On the unprecedented agenda are such “‘crisis’’ matters as reorganization of governmental structure, economic reconversion, taxation, veterans’ welfare, surplus property disposal and labor management relations — all made more baffling by confusion of circumstance. To cite an instance: The Selective Service Act provides that a veteran who returns to his pre-war employer must be given back his old job. Sounds simple. However, last week a Cincinnati firm gave back their old jobs to three veterans. The veterans refused to join a CIO union, and the union threatened to strike if the veterans weren't fired. Jurisdiction is held by both the War Labor Board and the ‘National Labor Relations Board—and claimed by the union! Still unsettled, to cite another example of the current confuston, is the wrangle between the Department of Justice and the Interstate Commerce Commission over authority to regulate railroads—a dispute which led to the actual filing of anti trust suits against the carriers for procedures with which the ICC found no fault. Probably congress will solve this particular snarl by passing the Bulwinkle bill, which would confine regulatory power over the railroads to the ICC. Yet for every national problem for which a legislative solution appears imminent, there are countless others for which solutions yet must be conceived and developed. This first post war congress has opportunity to go down in history as one of great and lasting achievement. If it does, its members will earn the distinction—for their tasks call for the utmost in intelligence, foresight and patriotism. In a word for statesmanship.—Contributed. NAVY HOUSING SHORTAGE IN S. F. (Military housing problems in the bay area have become more acute With a backlog of several thoussands of requests efor quarters the bureau is‘able to place only 25 to 30 per cent of the new applicants. Half of these want furnished rooms. The other half seeks houses and apartments, A recent survey shows no apprecibale drop in military housing requirements in the area can be ex §ince announcement of Japanese surfender overtures, Lieut.

PEARL HARBOR, (Territory of Hawaii)—-With the Central Pacifie Ocean Area as its campus the ‘“University of the Paicific’ offers courses to 8880 naval officers and enlisted men, the largest overseas educational program in the U. S. Navy. There are 397 classes conducted to give personnel in the 14th Naval District an opportunity to. bette: their ratings and prepare for a post war vocation, A faculty of over 300 qualified teachers cover subjects ranging from mathematics, the scienees, economies history, and art to business subjects, engineering, English. foreign languages, naval science and psychology. Classes are taught on high school, college and vocational levels. The ‘“university’’ curriculum depends on the desires of the personnel and is limited only by the availability of text materials. “Whatever the man wants to study, we try to make available,” said Lieut. Paul J. Boylan, USNR, of 11 Bagnell Street, Allston. Mass. Sducational Service Director, and former Boston high school teacher There are 10 educational service centers operating throughout the district, with the center at Pearl Harbor offering the most extensive program.

Wherever it is impossible to organize classes directly, correspondence courses are made available to naval personnel. More than 16,000 correspondence courses were provided by educational services ofificers in the 14th Naval District within the last year, apart from those supplied by the Central Pacific branch of the U, S. Armed Forces Institute. Training officers report that there is a growing desire on the part of Navy personnel to supplement experience already obtained in the navy with study pointing toward particnlar postwar vocations. SHARP CUT IN RATION BOARD CLERICAL HELP Moving swifty to adapt its operation to the transsition to peace, the Regional Office of Price Administration today announced reduction of its paid clerical force in War Price and Rationing Boards in the six wetern states by 1641 positions at an annual saving of $2.912,775. The reduction willbe started immediately as a basis for transferring some of. OPA’s present personnel te the agency’s reconversion pricing program, according to Charles R. Baird, Regional Administrator, in a course. credit is usually McNeill, District Director.
