VICTORY FOR THE WEST California shippers hailed passage of the Bulwinkle transportation bill in the lower house of congress last week as a victory for western industry generally.

Japanese farmers were virtual _ serfs. They were always hopelessly in debt to absent landlords. Their poverty was extreme and permanent. No doubt they prayed for victory for their god-emperor, and labored to the utmost in Japan’s war effort—but unwittingly they were fighting to perpetuate their own degration and their astonishment at receiving liberation from the conqueror they feared must‘be great. It is the most striking paradox of the war. MacArthur directed that the people who live on the land must be given the right and the financial opportunity to buy the farms they till, in order ‘to exterminate pernicious ills which have long blighted the agrarian structure of the country.” = In Japan’s disillustioned American born Japanese who renounced his U.
