These are the only claims the gov-j

So the vast majority are still up i

civilian war claims. i
Kii-Cisl Issue j
The biggest issue which will I
iitiK' before the commission is: i
. I Can anything be collected by!
Americans who sulTered war dam
' age in Asia or Europe'.' Interna-I
lional law clearly relieves a nation
from any responsibility for damage
inllicled in llie course of combat
i operations. U. S. military units,
moreover, have their own claims
j units which can settle damage
claims by natives injured through
I non-combat activities, such as be
ing hit hy a jeep behind the lines.
Hut what of Americans who con
tinued to live and do business in
Europe, in Japan, or on the con
linent of Asia after they had been
advised that war was likely? State
Department spokesmen have told
Congress that they felt ample
warning had been given to such
persons and that if they persisted
in remaining in the threatened
area it was their own responsibility .
They see the situation in the
Philippines and the other Ameri
can islands as entirely different.
For fear of alarming the population
or unnecessarily disrupting normal
activities, no firm warning was
given. The government was thus
responsible for their being caught
in the war.
Another ticklish issue is present
ed hy person;; who were injured or
suffered properly loss in the at
tack on I'carl Harbor. They con
lend that as the war had not slarl
ed. it was not a combat operation.
They had not been warned to leave
Hawaii. Therefore, they say, tltey
are as much entitled to damages
as persons who were living in the
Philippines.
Some limit has to be set on the
total damages that can be assessed.
The Japanese nation, now largely
dependent on American dollars to
get back on its leel, will not pay t
the bills. The money will come
from a fund in the Treasury de
rived fj-om liquidation of German
and Japanese assets in this coun
try, both government and private
property.
It is estimated that the fund,
when finally accumulated, will
amount to from $225,000,000 to
$275,000,000.

City Policemen
Have No Power
Outside Limits
According to a recent digest of
opinions by Attorney General
Hairy McMullan, a State Highway
Patrolman has the power of arrest
anywhere within the stale.
However, a city police officer
in the absence of special or public
local legislation, has no such power
beyond the corporate limits of the
municipality where he serves, said
i McMullan.
j Other opinions:
A county may legally levy and
collect a license tax upon the op

... the number of pumps in each
station merely serves to determine
the minimum tax which is ap
