any voice in the occupation and
government of Japan.”
Though the plan may never go
into operation, th* mere fact that
high government policy makers
contemplate big-stick schemes is
indicative of an America grown
strange to those who based their
faith on the propagation of good
will and enthusiasm for American
democracy as the strongest weap
on in our arsenal.
Will billions for arms and A
bombs (that is, the capacity to
kill more people than Russia) and
restoration of the Japanese war
lords to places of power win the
trust of the peoples of Asia?
Stalin talks peace as we open
ly prepare for war (Japan as an
anti-Soviet bastion in the Pacif
ic). If Stalin is bluffing, a Japan
geared for aggression and an
Asia embittered by our Japanese
policy is a fatal price to pay for a
show of sincerity that can be had
at practically no cost.
If Stalin is not bluffing but
seeking a peace we do not desire,
A-bombs and a new plan for Ja
pan will not win friends and in
fluence people enough to enforce
the aims of our new leadership.

Gracious! What's a Body To Do?
By Vern Hammond
The whole world of the Oregon
fan is going to the dogs. First, it
was floods. Then a dry spell. Then
a cold snap. And now—to add to
the already confusing situation, a
fellow can’t decide these days whe
ther to venture on the streets with
an umbrella and overshoes, a top
coat and skid chains, or a sunsuit,
or nothing in particular.
For example, since the author of
this article began his work, the
weather in Eugene has changed
four times—and in less than ten
minutes.
Today’s weather forecast might
read:
“Probable snow flurries, followed
or preceded by rain, or fog; unde
cided temperature, with a definite
trend toward changeable condi
tions of rain, snow, hail, or sleet;
accompanied by light or heavy
winds from an unspecified direc
tion.”
And the poor hounded weather
man would still probably get
caught.
With the barometer needle whirl
ing like a top, the reactions of the
solid citizens of Eugene are equally
unpredictable. One of the Vets’
dorm handymen is worried sick
about heating expenses. He looks
sagely skyward, not seeming to
notice the impeding presence of
the ceiling, and offers this bit of
information: "Seems to me the
weather’s about due for a change.”
And he goes busily on with his
work, mumbling softly to himself
and trying to close all the windows
faster than 700 fellows can open
them.
A matronly lady of my acquain
tance takes a more practical view
of the situation. “A body’s apt to
catch cold,” she observed, and the
conversation is automatically
closed.
But the biggest worry belongs to
the Oregon Daily Emerald. By the
time the paper gets into print, the
weather will probably settle down,
and this article will be completely
obsolete.
