j dps can attacn a restriction to terms of capitulation, then
surrender does not become "unconditional" and face has
been saved. It's a bit complicated, and the auestion remains
whether the issue is important to anyone except the Jap
anese.
Interviewers, following up the Jap surrender offer, found
almost as many opinions as the number of persons inter
viewed.
Some persons in authority contend that Japan must be
forced into a surrender with no strings attached. Others

The Japanese call him the Tenno Son of Heaven and
the masses believe him to be a living aod. They say ho is
the 124th ruler of a dynasty "unbroken -for ages eternal,"
descended from the sun goddess Amaterasu, principal deity of
their national faith, Shinto.
The reigning emperor not only is the temporal head of
the state but also the religious head of the nation, the repre
sentative of all the Shinto deities, which Include his own ances
tors. The orthodox Japanese belief is that the dynasty was
founded In 660 B. C. by Jlmmu Tenno, a great great grandson
of the sun goddess. This date is not supported by aotual his
torical records, since the oldest Japanese writings came some
1,000 years later.
Despite the worship accorded him, the emperor as an fndi-
vldual usually wields llttlu actual power. Hirohlto has been
described as a more or less unwilling party to the meggalo
manlao schemes of the militarists who gained control of the
throne In the thirties and used Its power to lead the Japanese
people to disaster.

The terms of the declaration would reduce the area to be

57,000,000 people.

plete disarmament, punishment of war criminals, removal
of obstacles to a revival of democracy, freedom of speech,

the fighting and arc now being Jnpan would be permitted to retain peaceful industries and
that access would be given to raw materials and world
trade.
More important than the issue of removing the emperor,
we believe, is the necessity for destroying Japanese military
cliques and this will be a most difficult task in a nation
steeped for centuries in military tradition.
Hut the emperor is in reality, more or less of a puppet in
the Japanese government. He is more of a religious figure
than an actual sovereign. He is the tool of the political
parly in power, and that party 1ms been the military group.

OU must then remember thr.t
this housing business Is largely
a PUBLIC matter, for the resto
ration of bombed-out housing Is
a public Job, to be taken care
of by the War Damage commis
sion, which administers the com
pulsory war insurance fund under
which owners either got paid for
their bomb damage or get their
houses restored when It can be
done.
Lack of housing thus becomes
In M-ople's minds a FAULT OF
GOVERNMENT, and the Indig
nation felt by people who have
no place to live Is thus directed
against the government which
in democracies is the party in
power.
a a
IE can now get back to the
Vigilante movement, which
! Is not essentially different from
- the Vigilante movements that at
times have arisen in our own
country. That is to say, the
Vigilantes are an organization
OUTSIDE the letter of the law
that seeks to force the accom
plishment of something by
methods not within the law.
What they have been seeking is
the finding of houses by the nu
thorities, and their pressure be
came so great as to FORCE n
law giving lo local authorities
the power to requisition empty
houses WHEREVER found, re
gardless of the reasons for which
they may be empty. (Many ol
them are owned by members of
the armed services still away
from home in the wars.)
Near violence has accompanied
the requisitioning In certain cases
Just the other day an owner
stood siege with dog and trusty
shotgun against the requisition
ing authorities, and provided the
afternoon penny press with many
a juicy headline -and a tenant
selected by the borough council
(a demobilized sailor and his
family) was finally moved in
after the reecalcitrant owner had
been cowed by the police.
All this, bear In mind, In law
abiding England where a man's
house Is his castle.
THE Vigilante movement, in
spite of Its lawless origin, has
been 'tmmchly defended in let
ters to the press. A writer in
this morning's News-Chronicle,
for example, admits the SEEM
ING similarity to gangsterism,
but argues:
"The Vigilante represents the
reaction of the good citizen to the
community's default. Ills motive
Is benevolent; his method non
violent; his endobject GOOD.
The gangster represents the re
action of the bad citizen to all
law and order."
That Is to say, the Vigilante's
end Justifies the means which
is a strange doctrine hen1 in
modern, law -abiding England;
although it Is sound enough Eng-
sh doctrine. The barons who
forced the Magna Charta from a
reluctant king were Vigilantes,
pure and simple. They were law
less, according to the standards
of that day, but they were con
vinced that their end Justified the
means they chose.
a a a
ANYWAY, this Vigilante busi
ness, which has had PLENTY
on the ball, Is a straw Indicating
that new currents of thought are
blowing In present-day England.
It has been reasonably evident
that they are blowing in the di
rection of a CHANGE from that
which Is and has been namely
government by the Conservative
party) and toward something
NEW.
There is other evidence

ATTENTION, ALL MEN ENGAGED
IN THE LUMBER INDUSTRY
The Associated Employers of Oregon, 304 Pacific Building, Roseburg.
takes this opportunity of passing along important information relative to
latest Government rulings affecting lumber operations for the benefit of
all lumber operators in this locality. The Nationcl War Labor Board West
Coast Lumber Commission, 1037 American Bank Building, Portland, Oregon,
through Release L-491, ordered the following ruling to be placed In effect
July 1, 1945:
"All new sawmill and logging establishments or departments must secure
War Labor Board approval of their wage schedules before operations are
commenced, according to new procedures just adopted by the West Coast
Lumber Commission pursuant to instructions from the National War Labor
Board.
John
Comm
ohn D. Galey, Chairman of the Lumber Commission, reports that the
ission fixed the effective date of the new nroeodurs nt ii i
that on and after that date no operator may start a new establishment without
securing prior approval of his wago schedule from the Lumber Commission
except upon penalties of law approved in the Economic Stabilization Act of
October 2, 1942. Those employers who have previously commenced opera,
tions without securing prior approval are not to be affected by this rulinq
provided that their wage applications are already on file with the nearest
office of the Wage & Hour Division of the U. S. Department of Labor on or
before June 30, 1945.
Failure to secure advance approval of wage schedules after July 1 will
result In prompt enforcement action by the Commission's Legal Division de
dared the Commission pointing out that the Commission exercises jurisdiction
over all branches of the lumber industry in the State, of California. Oregon
Washington Idaho and Montana, regardless of the number of employees ta
any establishment in those Industries." employees "
