JAPAN'S PUNISHMENT IND so on to London, and into A the teeth of the question that stares every traveler in the face in every waking moment In these upset days: "How about a place to sleep?" This writer Is supposed to have n hoti'l reservation, and its whereahouts are to be disclosed bv a messenger who Is to be waiting at the Victoria station, rominir across, that seemed reasonable enough, and besides It was ilu-n a FUTUKE worry This is TONIGHT. One's peace oX mind isn't helped any by a follow nasscnoer on the plane whn mils ahead Xrom Poole and reports dispiritedly when he hangs up that there isn 1 a noiui room left in London. . By Charles V. Stanton ' Every judge of a criminal court has had the experience, while conducting arraignment of a prisoner charged with crime, of having the defendant ask what penalty would be imposed if he should plead guilty.- In such cases, the prisoner is informed that the court will determine the penalty after a plea has been entered; that the prisoner must plead either innocent or guilty. He occasionally is told the minimum and maximum penalties provided by law, but a court never reveals terms of sentence in advance of the prisoner's plea. Guilt must be admitted, or must be determined by trial, before penalty is announced. Thus our courts furnish us an example of what is meant by unconditional surrender, a term which is causing much debate in view of peace feelers extended by Japan. The Jap, like a prisoner before the bar of justice, wants to know in advance the punishment to be meted out for his crimes. The recent ultimatum from Potsdam followed court pre cedent demanding unconditional surrender before sentence is imposed. ' Jt is a common practice in our courts' to temper the punish ment of a criminal who freely admits his crime, thus saving the cost and time of a trial. When an effort is made to "beat the rap," the court being convinced that the defend ant was deliberately attempting to avoid punishment merited by his offense, the sentence is apt to be more severe. .;;- Th'e same should hold true in the matter of war guilt. Japan's "sentence" should become progressively harsher the longer she delays surrender. ' She must know that defeat is certain. When American warships prow her coastline and toss shells into her centers of war production, penetrating deep into her bays to wreak destruction upon her factories, while unchallenged war planes fill her skies and rain bombs upon helpless, driven populations, Japan should understand that her dream of expansion by force has been shattered. Each day she con tinues her stubborn, suicidal resistance, which has no hope other than extinction, is costly in lives. Jtfo punishment will compensate for American blood, but Japan should be made to understand that we value those lives and that she must pay dearly for every day useless slaughter is continued. We believe it would be good policy, despite court pre cedent, if a new and severe punishment should be proclaimed against Japan every day the fight is prolonged. Accumula tive retribution could be fashioned, we believe, into an effective propaganda weapon to speed end of the conflict. We do not take too seriously the defiance voiced by the Japanese war lords. Proclamation of a choice to fight to extinction very probably is a whistlo in the dark a face saving gesture while new ways are pondered to solicit soften ing of the Allied pronouncement. But rather than easing our ultimatum we should, in our opinion, add harsher terms daily, backed by sufficient evidence that we mean to enforce those penalties. Japan is fearful Russia may join in the struirtrle. She knows the practical Russians will not consent to an ''easy" peace, and we believe it safe to predict that Japan will sur render quickly when signs point to entrance of Russia into the Pacific war. But apparently she is counting upon war weariness and the natural compassion of American people to afford an escape from punishment for undue prolonga tion pt the bloody conflict. Her decision to surrender could be hastened, we believe, if we gave convincing proof of our determination to make the "sentence" nroirreasivplv harder each day fighting continues. r-H-E-E-E-E-W ! ! !

The receptionist (you don't call him a room clerk here) brings the situation back to familiar ground with a bump. He says; "I'm sorry, sir, but no rooms have yet been vacated to day. I'm afraid you'll have to wait awhile." He adds a cryptic remark: "Meanwhile make yourself at home, sir.

The Stars came within one run of knotting the count when second baseman Richardson slammed out a homer in the fifth with the sacks loaded. Mossor, winning hurler, checked the rally and blanked the Twinks for the remainder of the tilt. Vet eran submariner Liska had little trouble winning his sixteenth of the year for the Beavers in the nightcap. farmer Hal Turpin of the Rain iers chalked up his tenth victory of the season in beating San I'rancisco 6-1.

Jap Flag Yielded To 162nd in Fight Is Gift to Oregon SALEM, Ore.. Auu 2--(AP) Scorched remnants of the Japa nese Hnd miantry regimental Hag delivered to the 1(i2tid infan try (Oregon), 41st division, by a surrendering Japunese sergeant tor gatekeeping, are In the of fice of the Oreizon adjutant cen- eral today. The staff and colors were sent to Brig. Gen. Raymond V. Olson, acting adjutant general, by Maj. Gen. Jens A. Doe, commanding general of the 41st division, who explained that "regimental colors are not just a symbol to the Jap anese, but are a sacred posses sion, loss of which is as great a disgrace as there is in their mili tary tradition." Part of (he 30th division, which first appeared in China in 11)37, participating in operations along tin; PeiplnH-Hankow railway in Shansi and Hope! provinces and moving into the southwest Pact tic area late in 1 ;).!, tno znu infantry was composed of unus ually largo men, general Doc wrote Olson. Hara-KIrl Committed When the regiment was de feated on Blak Island In May. 1914, the regimental commander, Col. K'uzume Naoyuki, burned the center of the regimental colors In traditional ceremony and com ml ted hara-kiri before his men. The borders of the flag and Its staff went with the color-bearer lieutenant as the Japanese fled into the jungle. Doc credits the lG2nd, to which the Jap sergeant carried the fal tered banner, with having forced and overrun the main enemy posi tion, "which led," he declares, "to the burning of the colors and Ihe suicide" of the commanding officer- The sergeant's written state ment tells how "U. S. forces on biak took the fight completely out ot the once-proud Infantry regi ment, and how some of the Jap anese "openly or deliberately commit hitherto unheard of acts which are decidedly detrimental in Hie honor of our ulorlous col ors. Thereuve, I have determined to deliver the colors to the U. S- forces for their safe-keeping." Cannibalism Occurs Included In the captive ser geant's statement were refer ences to grave of Japanese sol diers opened by niglU so that the bodies could be removed, salted ana carried as rations. "The strong," he wrote, "are those who kill men and eat Iholr flesh. Even a lowly private if he is strong, never heeds his NCO's or otticers. Climax to the degradation to which his regiment had sunk, the Japanese sergeant indicated was the fact that "even CO Sudo, himself, had to dig potatoes in the garden, gather kindling wood alio mien waier.

British Socialist Leader Speaks Out Ahead of Attlee By DeWITT MacKENZIE AP Foreign Affairs Analyst Prof. Harold Laski, intellec tual socialist who is chairman of the British Labor party's nation al executive committee, has is sued a strong statement of gov ernmental policy which gives ont to wonder whether he him self doesn't represent an anoma lous figure in the new political set-up. Custom in the past has left such pronouncements to the Prime Minister, as leader of the party and very definitely skipper of the ship of state. Of course, the broad governmental policies naturally spring from the party, but the Prime Minister has had the last word and generally has acted as his own spokesman in matters 01 moment. .1. ' 1 It therefore sounds strange to hear the law coming from Prof. Laski, who isn't even a member of Parliament, although he Is one of the strong personalities of the socialist party and is head of its policy making body. To be sure, Prime Minister Attlee is at tending the Big Three conference at fotsdam out a discussion or Forever Amber" Placed Under Ban in Australia CANBERRA, Aug.. 2 Richard V. Keane, Australian minister for trade and customs, announced Wednesday that ms country tun banned the best-selling American novel, "Forever Amber." The book by Kathleen Wind sor was described by Keane as "unreadable and no acquisition to the commonwealth's litera ture." "The Almighty did not give people eyes to read that rub bish " said the Australian.

I learned how little meaning there can be in an ab stract political liberty which is subdued to the control of an ec onomic plutocracy. I came back from America convinced that liberty has no meaning save in the context of equality, and I had begun to understand that equality also has no meaning un less the instruments of produc tion are socially owned."
