JAPAN'S PUNISHMENT
IND so on to London, and into

stares every traveler in the face
in every waking moment In these
upset days: "How about a place

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.

Up to this point, all has been

He adds a cryptic remark:
"Meanwhile make yourself at

Beavers Win Two :
From Stars; Turpin
Downs Seals, 6 to 1
By PAUL WELLS -
Associated Press Sports Writer
Hollywood's Stars, who have
been orotheis-ln-law" all season
to t-ortiand, laiu down and played
Uead again last nignt as the pace
setting Heavers swept a twin bill
a-4 and 5-2 to stretca their Paci
lic (Joast league lead to six
games.
ine double killing was Port
lands twellth and mirteenth in
a row over the last-place Movie
town clUD and nineteenth win out
01 23 games with the Stars tms
season.
Seattle's Rainlers, fighting to
stay within firing distance pi the
Beavers, ' took their second
straight from the San Francisco
Seals b-1. Sacramento's Solons en
trenched themselves more firmly
in third place to take both ends of
a douDleneader lrom the Los An
geles Angels 5-3 and '6-'i. Oakland
completed the night's schedule by
shading the San Diego Padres H
1 to creep within a game of the
fourth-berth Seals.
Liska, Turpin Win
Portland got off to a 5-0 lead
in the lirst four innings of the
aDbreviated curtain raiser against
Hollywood, belting Pitcher Mish
aseK for seven hits, four of them
for extra bases. 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. The Seals pushed
over an unearned tally in the
sixth, the first run they had
scored in 24 innings. Seattle
shelled Barthelson trom the
mound with a five-run assault in
the first two frames and then
coasted to an easy triumph.

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

U. S. Impression Told
Prof. Laski's text was that

ing after his return to England
in 1920 that in America he had I
seen "more nakedly than I had
seen in Europe, the signifiance
of the struggle between capital
and labor. 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."
