POSTWAR PLAN—FOR JAPAN
Whether the Japanese collapse is a matter of years,
months, or only weeks, victory in the Pacific is still too far off
and the price too high to admit any rejoicing today. Today is
the time for planning how to rout out the seeds of world conquest buried deep in Japan and to keep them routed when. the
war is done.
The task-is not only that of the diplomats. No intelligent .
citizen's ideas may be pre-judged as insignificant and none
with the slightest merit can safely be overlooked. Some of the .
most interesting proposals yet seen concerning Japan's disposition were evolved, not in Washington, but in California,
and not by a career statesman, but by a fellow publisher, G.
E. Dunn of the Half Moon Bay Review in San Diego County.
Here are the main points of Dunn's program—which the
state department could lengthen out, no doubt, to a 200-pge
brief, and still not improve on many of its basic principles:
1. Invade Japan, cut it off and let the allied navies control the situation until a democratic regime is assured. Bring
the emperor and all other war criminals to prompt trial. Utterly destroy the navy, merchant marine and war factories,
and replace the war-minded tycoons with democratic minded
Japanese.
2. Get together the leading, trustworthy Japanese-Americans educated here, and put them in all key positions in
Japan, to reorganize government, industry, employment and
education. Send Chiank Kai-Shek all the necessary material to
take Manchuria. Get this program under way soon and send
our boys home.
Many if not all of the Japanese here might prefer to return permanently to their homeland under those conditions,
Dunn points out, and if they did a serious Japanese-California promlem would be solved.
The-proposals of Editor Dunn may not be foolproof. But
fundamentally they seem to us to express the general ideas of
all Americans whose sons are trading their lives for peace—
expecting us at home to protect and safeguard it, once it is
won.—Contributed.
THE PEOPLE’S PEACE CONFERENCE
_ Lieutenant Governor Fred Houser, addressing the Women’s Council at Sacramento recently, rightly declared that
world cooperation, rather than power politics, must furnish
the basis for an enduring peace. ~
“No balance of power formula will be able to maintain
peace,” said the lieutenant-governor. “It will be achieved only
through the hearts and souls of world leaders and when the
people everywhere are determined on maintaining peace. We
need world cooperation to keep faith.”’
While Houser said that he looked forward with confi-dence to the rseults which he believes will be achieved at the
San Francisco conference, and in other meetings of global
leaders which will doubtless follow, he emphasizes that there
must be an earnest striving for, peace by the people of all nations, if there is to be any real hope of outlawing war.
' The lieutenant governor called for a--world wide “‘people’s peace conference’—not a public meeting in the usual
sense, but a meeting of hearts and minds of people in far separate places, resolutely pledging themselves to a conscientious
effort at better understanding of each other's problems, so
that causes of conflict can be avoided.
Statesmen can write the terms of a plan for lasting peace
said Houser, but only the people—the people whose sons fight
and die when war comes—can see that the terms are kept.
There can‘ be no denial of the truth of that analysis. Covenants cannot prevent war. But a high resolve on the part of all
free people can.—Contributed.
KEEP THOSE ISLANDS
Out beyond Hawaii, in the Gilberts, the Marshalls and
the Marianas, lie the islands whose defenseless shores nearly
lost this war for us at tht very beginning.
‘ Stretching west to the China Coast, south to New Guinea
and north to the shores of Pippon, are other larger islands, the
heart and core of Japan's aggressive campaign. Today they are
bought dearly by American moys, and paid for in blood.
When this war is finished, those islands should be held
by the United States, for the price is far too high to have to
‘pay twice.
Those that might be required in any future _ struggle
agaist Jap conquest should be retained irrespective of what

any other nation may think about it. And those that are‘owned
by an ally should be bought or negotiated for if imperative to
such a defense. Many of the rampart islands: are thoroughly
worthless except for military purposes, and their acquisition
and control could scarcely be considered a grab for precious
new territory or aggrandizement. :
But even if their retention by the United States were so
considered, we believe with Fleet Admira! Ernest J. King that
it is time the U. S. abolished.the policy of fighting, building
‘and graciously giving away. Our own strategic defense should
be the criterion. And the cost of our misplaced trust in Japanese mandates should be the only necessary incentive for holdly minor changes in operating polictes of yarious agencies. Deferred and

The

the sales tax. The assembly reduced
ihe tax from 2 1-2 to 2 cents while
the upper house amended the Dill

back in the bill.
As a result of these issues. which
must be settled before the appropriation bills can be acted upon, ‘t
appears that this session will run
well into June. This writer predicts
that the legislature will still be in
session when June 15 rolls around.
By Adlen G. Thurman, Assemblyman Sixth District
Last week we mentioned the fact
that many bills liberalizing old age
assistance had been introduced,
which if approved would add millions of dollars to the cost of state
government.
One of these pieces of. legislation
which would have given $30 a month
in old age pension assistance to Persons between the ages of 60 and 65,
came before the lower house for a
vote and was refused passage. The
vote was 34 to 34. It requifes 41
votes to approve a bill in the/lower
house. In the discussion relative to
the legislation it was stated that the
cost of added assistance to the state
and counties would be appro<imatély $33,000,000 a year. The federal
government does not contribute to
old ade assistance to persons under
65 years.
A joint resolution which had been
approved in the senate endorsing
Congressman Clair Engle’s house
bill to increase the price of gold to
$56 per ounce was approved in the
lower house last week by a unonimous vote. Collier sponsored the bill
in the senate while Assemblyman
King and the writer handled -the
bill in the lower house.
Another piece of legislation of interest to the gold mining industry
was the approval of AB 233 by Gov.
Warren. This bill exempts from the
business and professional code the
provisions regulating mineral, oil
and gas brokers salesmen. The Dill
was originally introduced for gas and
oil brokers but was amended in the
senate to-also include mining brokers and salesmen. secution of the war effort. Abolition

Are Saved in Taxes
Few congressional committtes
have the good fortune to be able to
record the results of their efforts in
balance sheet form. One of the exceptions, the joint committee on re‘duction of Non-essential federal expenditures (Byrd committee) presented its economy progress: report
of 1945, on March 22. Its balance
sheet for three and one half years
read: Expenditures, $45,913,08; savings $2,457,623,568; cost per million
dollars saved, less than $20.
Tucked away in a paragraph on
the last page of the report was this
significant statement: ‘““The committee admits that the sum of its e4fforts toward strict economy is insignificent compared to $100 bilion
budgets. Even though there are few
commendations for the thrifty, the
committee is convinced that its services is purposeful. ’
The committee has revealed that
at last government spending is being recognized for what it is—taxation.
Most, though not all of the committee’s efforts were diretted at
those elements of government spending which, at best, could only be remotely related to the successful pro~~
