claration in orderly and systematic
fashion while maintaining general
order and not throwing the coun
try into confusion;
"Second, food, clothing and shel
ter for the people;
“Third, unemployment, which
will total an estimated 15,000,000
persons.”
Higashi-Kuni said “mere recovery
of reconstruction” of Japan was in
sufficient, asserting, “We intend to
build a completely new and peace
ful Japan; we intend to build a
country of high moral principles
and culture. I think it will require
vears for us to complete this task.
OLD AND NEW
“All our internal inconsistencies
will be brought to light as a result
of Japan's defeat. The conflict be
tween the old and the new may
take the form of a struggle among
political parties or of strikes, but I
do not think such conflicts should
be avoided.
“It is my firm belief that a new
Japan, progressive and just, will be
born as a result of these conflicts.” i
Higashi-Kuni said it was his per
sonal opinion that the start of the
Superfortress raids marked the
turning point in the war.
CAUSE OF DEFEAT
Asked for what he considered the
causes of Japan's defeat, the pre
mier wrote;
“The first was because morality
has lost its hold in Japan. We can
say one reason for our tragedy was
that no great statesman appeared
in Japan. We can also count as one
reason lack of courage on the part
of the Japanese people to defend
justice, so they were unable to cor
rect the mistaken guidance of mili
tarists and Dureaucrats.
“Then, also, our army leaders
miscalculated the actual strength
of the United States.
“But the question boil6 down to
this: Looking at it from all an
gles, Japan fought so she could not
but lose and ’America fought so
she could not but win.”
"It is my belief,” he said, “that
the new Japan which will emerge
will be shorn of militarism and will
be as peace-loving as the United
States.”
CARD OF THANKS
We wish to thank our friends
and neighbors for their many
deeds of kindness in the sickness
and death of our dear husband
and father, Elam McSwain. Also
we wish to express our apprecia
tion for the beautiful floral offer

Indian leaders said they ex

returns from England Saturday.
Lord Wavell was believed to have
discussed with British government
officials the reasons for the failure
of the recent SIMLA conference,
possibly with the view of obtain
ing authority to overcome obsta
cles encountered there.
The conference, held earlier this
summer, was deadlocked over the

to a:ree on representation on a

The supreme commander observ
ed that. In view of the "atrocities

tience on the part of the Allied
peoples to have the surrender terms
rapidly carried out was but a nat
ural impulse.
CAREFUL PROCEDURE
Fulfillment of that desire can
be accomplished only through care

mised :
“The surrender terms aren’t soft
and they won’t be applied In kid

Meanwhile, the Japanese govern
ment reported to eighth army
headquarters that most of the form- ;
er Nipponese leaders of the Mac
Arthur's “wanted" list were in

Another former government offi
cial, Lt. Gen. Chikahlko Koizumi,;
welfare minister in the Japanese
“Pearl Harbor cabinet”, took his
life by the traditional hara Kiri
method. His former premier, Gen.
Hideki Tojo, continued to improve
in a U. S. army hospital from a
self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Koizumi was on the list of more
than 40 former war leaders, Black

round up.
Supreme headquarters gave no
reason for suspension of Domei, and
the order came without warning.

making two trips monthly. Thou
sands of people are availing them

to carry out the recommendation
of the state that waiting station
be established in populous sec
tions where books will be left for
reading.
Mrs. Paul told of the rapid
growth of the Shelby library and
her hope that it will soon be ac
credited. Space is now provided
at the City Hall but the shelving
and reading tables are Inadequate
and she expressed the hope that
when the recreation center is fin

Over 130 tents in the ATC's

Field kitchens were made ready

Army and Navy "hurricane hun

The only alternative,” said Mr.
Houser, "is to keep this child in

If official guesses are good, all
food rationing except sugar thus
will end by the holidays. Canned
goods, canned milk, and this week
cheese, have been rubbed off the
ration list.
So have gasoline, fuel oil and
stoves. The remaining rationed t
tems have this outlook:
Shoes — Off by October 1.
If the request of WPB’s leath
er bureau is heeded.
Tires — Rubber companies
think you'll get them ration
free by the end of the year.
The office of censorship is gone.
Out of business tomorrow is the
office of war information, with
the State department carrying on
some of Its overseas information
chores.
WAR AGENCIES
This is the outlook for other
war agencies:
War Manpower commission —
Uncertain, may be next to go. Its
boss. Paul V. McNutt, heads for
I the Philippines shortly as high
f commissioner.
! Petroleum administration for
: war—now liquidating. Will have
a skeleton crew by mid-October,
but may linger to the end of the
year
Office of Defense Transporta
tion — Vastly deflated by next
i month. May last out the year, but
! then there won t be much left to
kill off.
War Relocation Authority —
Winds up its activities by January
1.
War Production Board — Prob
ably will expire December 31 a
long with its war powers. Needed
controls may be lodged elsewhere.
Solid Fuels Administration —
Likely to linger until next spring
t —until April is a good guess—a
long with the coal shortage.
