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 Did .

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 reduced public works accounted for 272. million, reduction of duplication in government financing agencies $177 million, and the revised highway program. of 1943 for a fifial $50 million. ’ Civilian Conservation Corps, -National Youth Administration, WPA, red tape, government questionnaires, lend leasing, procedures, highways—this roving committee . has obviously had to poke its’ light . . ing onto that hard earned shield of islands in the Pacific.—Contributed. STATE ASSEMBLY APPROVES RAISE INGOLD PRICE the issue we are apparently no better off. 5 The considerable time because of the failtax issue also is ure the sales tax. The assembly reduced ihe tax from 2 1-2 to 2 cents while the upper house amended the Dill putting the present tax of 2 1-2 cts. 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.

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~~
