Ye Smudge Pot
By Arthur Perry
It hag never been crystal clear
to the American public, why it
should take longer to replace a
crystal In watch, than build
and launch an aircraft carrier.
Now that organized resistance in
Europe has practically ceased,
they are assured of a speedy re
turn to normalcy. The patrons
will be smilingly Informed, they
-can get the gadget fixed In "two
shakes of a lamb s tail", or, "Just
in a jiffy", and get it back before
he can say "Jack (no relation to
Gain) Robinson."
There Is still considerable
skepticism about the purported
demise of Herr Hitler, the Nazi
rapscallion. The German people
be led around by the nose, be
lieve when the seat of his pants
were destroyed by a bomb ex
plosion, so was Herr Hitler. This
seems logical, much more so
than the claim one of the plot
ters tat down on his own bomb.
At some fine and not too distant
day, the FBI, or Scotland Yard.
or soma other famed police
agency, will catch the runt Aus
trian ex-paperhanger.

The nation observes V-I Day
In humble happiness today. The
military goose of Germany Is
cooked, but there remains the
bitter, bloody task of hamstring
ing Japan. The prayer . of the
world It for a lasting peace, that
will last longer than until either
one or both nations get ready to
lnunch another world war.
When both are conquered and
helpless, to remain that way for
ever, there will be a victory
celebration, without restrictions,
nd the knowledge there Is still
war to win in the Pacific.

"Taking tquads of German
civilians about concentration
camps to vitw the results of
their own atrocities sounds
like a good Idea In object
lessons, but maybe not; from
what hat been reported of
German callousness to other
folks' suffering, shouldn't be
surprised If tome of them en
joyed the trip."

The special election June 22
to vote on a cigarette tax, it as
yet producing no emotional en
thusiasm among the voters, and
no great outpouring by them is
anticipated. They pour out much
better to such muscular events
as a wrestling match. If they had
to flop and pin the shoulders of
the biggest man on the election
board, before they could vote,
the electorate might stop at the
polling placet for a Joust, en

Uaa Mail Tribune Want Ada,
Today is V-E Day. Today American hearts are so
filled with pride and gratitude that they are certain
to spill over m joyous celebration.
But V-E Day is but a milestone on the road to full
and complete victory, and our joy today should be
tempered with the sobering knowledge that the vic
tory won in the west must now be won in the east"
and that more lives must be sacrificed in the bitter,
bloodv struggle against Japan. We must realize, too,
the great price we paid for this great triumph in Eur
ope. We must tirmiy resolve mat tnose we leave upon
the battlefields ot Europe win noi nave aiea in vain
e e
TES, we must further resolve that these swaggering
Nazis and Junkers, these brutal perpetrators of
T,nb1in and Lidice, shall never again rise to threaten
the homes. We must be determined that our errors of
another world war shall not be repeated.
UST as we have beaten and smashed the once
nrniid fierman wehrmacht to the dust, now we
face the grim duty of bringing the armies of the
Milfnrln tn rnmnlete and unconditional surrender. It
will mean streams of troops to the Orient, endless
convoys, months of bitter fighting, sadness and sacn
fice. , , ,
AND, until V-J Day is here, we must not relax. ,Un
fii tVinoo rosnnnsihile for the infamy of Pearl Har

Day will only prolong the Pacific War, mean more
loss of life and put off the glorious day when ALL

Chairman Romulo refused to answer one question which re
lated to the delegation's views on trusteeship, covering his evasion
with his favorite reference to the sacred Philippine trinity: "Equal
ity, Liberty, Security."
In the British conference Lord Cranborne also refused to
answer a question on an equally ticklish topic to England, namely:
would there be any provision in the new League which could de
prive a nation of mandate control over another country, if that
other country wished Its independence and a majority of the
signatory nations to the League supported that wish.
This obviously referred to the controversial Indian question
which keeps bobbing up at these press conferences all the time
but we felt it would have been smarter for the Honorable Lord to
have declared the provisions of the new organization had not yet
been definitely decided upon, instead of refusing to give any
answer at all.
Up to date we should say it is reasonably plain. Britain has no
Intention of materially changing her policy toward India, or to
ward any other part of her far flung empire. We keep being
reminded of Churchill's impressive statement that he had not
accepted the highest post In the gift of his King to preside over the
dissolution of the British Empire! That is the rock of Gibraltar
and Keystone as far as the British policy at this gathering is con.
cernea.
Arid with the German surrender why should the British gov
ernment ao anything else?
Speaking of the surrender it now Is nlaln that Senator Connollv
of Texas who spilled the beans a week ago. and was resnonsible
for the A. P.'s historic bonjr, was not very far off after all. Ger
many tiAu omciaiiy oiiered to sjult as far as the Anglo-Americans
were concerned, and Himmler had written off his former boss
Hitler as "dead or dying." But the allies turned the offer down
Decause Russia was not included. However a miss is as eood-
or as bad as a mile In a case of this sort and we still feel the
tall should return those nickels taken in on that "Nazis Quit"
extra!

The conference goes merrily on or If not merrily, pleasantly.
Two press conferences today the Philippine delegation at the St.
Francis and the British at the Mark Hopklnt. The affable and e o-
. n .i nnn,in nro.trirrl nt the former: the equally affable,
but not to eloquent, Viscount Cranborne, Secretary of State for
Dominion Affairs presided at the latter.
e e
The first conference was distinguished by the fact that Marshall
n.n. ihp nrnenn Journal arose and with great solemnity asked
General Romulo what he meant by "culture" and would he com
ment upon the treatment of the Filipinos Dy me japs.
The last was easy but the first was, as the General smilingly
HiwBi1ral mitt a an nrripr.
However nothing stumps the General for long. He cocked hit
head like aparrow, blinked hit black eyea teverai urnes, hn u-
defined culture as follows: '
"Culture It the crystallzed deposit of the wisdom of the ages,
applied to human betterment."
That got a hand, as does almost everything the General says,
. ,,nn hini the General's declamatory manner calls for It.
But while that may define Philippine culture, we don't believe It
would be accepted by any of the modern dictionaries as the def
inition for culture elsewhere.
The question, the General added, reminded him of General
Hurley when the latter first returned from China and a friend
asked him why he did not accomplish more over there.
Hurley's answer was something to this effect:
"It has taken the Chinese 3000 years to get where they are,
give me three more DAYS, and I will tell you where they are
going!"
The General was full of stories. Someone asked If the Philip
pine people were badly shot up and would It take long for them
to recover.
That reminded the General of two birds who flew off Into the
wide, wide" world for the first time and together. One of them re
turned fit and frisky, the other came limping home, barely able to
fly, or to stand when he landed. He was a mess In fact.
"What Is wrong with you?" was asked.
The battered bird finally got enough breath to reply: that
everything went ok for a time but suddenly he got mixed up In
the damndest badminton game he ever taw, and hit delaptdated
condition wat the result
So with the Philippines. They were going along ok and doing
pretty well but suddenly they got mixed up In the damdest bad
minton game a bird ever saw the Jap-U. S. A. war and this was
the result, many of his delegation had only the clothes they had
on their backs and those were secured from the O.P.A., concluded
the General,
Cravath Wells, the English correspondent and lecturer, asked
the General how the Filipinos' post war government would treat
the Japanese living In the Philippines after the war would they
be granted equal rights with other citizens.
The General straightened up, threw back hit head and in hit
most ringing tones cried:
There will be no Japt LIVING In the Philippine! when the
war Is over!"
Again much applause.
Like most of the other small nations at this conference the
Filipinos want the Assembly that It what corresponds to our
House of Representatives given more power, and the Security
Council, roughly resembling the President's cabinet, given less.
One novel feature of the meeting was the Philippine declaration of
a desire to Include radio broadcasting of propaganda under the
definition of aggression, which could call forth action by the se
curity council.
When asked for clarification It was maintained that It would
be "aggression" If Russia should broadcast communistic propa
ganda In the United States; or the United States should broadcast
democratic propaganda In Russia. But it would not be so for
General von Rundstedt gives as the chief cause of German
defeat superior U. S. air power. That will make General "Happy"
Arnold happier than ever. And of course von Rundstedt should
know something about it. But deeper than that in our judgment
lies the mysterious but potent MORAL factor. Militarists like von
Rundstedt and cynics like "Lord Haw-Haw" will give that idea
the merry "ha-ha," but nevertheless we believe Nazi Germanv

There are plenty of nuts at this conference and In spite of
everything they get Into press conferences one excellent reason
being that in nine cases out of ten, no press credentials are asked
for at the door. There was one at Lord Cranborne's gathering,
wearing a pink shirt and red necktie, who asked His Lordship if
more progress would not be made If all citizens of all lands were
not made "citizens of one world?" His Lorshlp was ready for any
thing at this open meeting for he mumbled something about a
world citizenship being one of the aims of the gathering when the
news-men In the front row said "thank you" rose In their seats
and walked out and the meeting was adjuorned. R.W.R. .
Japs Kill British
.Missionary For Not
Trampling On Flag
London (U.R) The story was
revealed here of how a 33-year
old British missionary on Tara
wa atoll was killed by a Jap
anese firing squad, along with
20 allied youths, after he had
refused to obey a Japanese or
der to trample on the Union
Jack but stooped, took it In his
arms, and kissed it Instead.
The missionary was the Rev
Alfred Sadd, son of an Essex
lumber merchant, who had
worked 11 years among the na
tives In the Gilbert Islands.
When the Americans recap
tured Tarawa a native pastor
who had witnessed the scene
told them of the incident when
the Japanese hurled the British
flag on the ground and ordered
Sadd to walk on it.
"Mr. Sadd approached the flag
and then turned to the right and
passed it," the pastor related
'They made him start again.
This time he turned to left and
again avoided trampling on the
flag. The third time he was com-
pelled to go up to the flag. He
gathered it in hit arms and
kissed it."
The Japanese then put Sadd
and the others on forced labor,
the pastor said, and several days
later on uct. 13, 1B4Z, had a
firing squad thoot them. At the
execution Sadd turned hit back
on the Japanese and addressed
encouraging words to the others
and then stood out in front to

Berchtesgaden, Germany, Mav
R. U.R Adolf Hitler's neish-
bors believe he is not dead but
hiding here somewhere In the
Bavarian Alps where his fabu
lous berghof retreat today is a
charred, smoking ruin.
One report in the countryside
here is that Hitler, Reichsmar
shal Hermann Goering, and a
party fled toward Hinter See, 30
miles east of Berchtesgaden.
It may be pure rumor, but as
one Bavarian farm woman, Fraul
Theresa Aschauer Scheffau, re
marked, "We don't believe any
thing Hitler and the Nazis say
because they lied to us and be
trayed us so many times.
Built By Slaves
Frau Scheffau, whose little
farm Is near Hitler's Berghof
estate, based much of her infor
mation on the statements of for
eign slave workers who sweated
to rush completion of the elab
orate system of buildings and
tunnels Hitler had here.
She said so far as known
Hitler had not visited Berghof
since the abortive attempt on his
life last July 20 "if he was here
then." But she said Goering had
been a very frequent visitor. He
and his wife stayed in a luxuri
ous villa, one of the guesthouses
of Hitler s chalet.
Many Servants
"Frau Goering alone had 70
maedchen on her household
staff," Frau Scheffau said. "And
Lord knows how many servants
there were altogether for the
fuehrer's chalet and all the guest
houses."
I got some idea of the size of
the establishment from a tele
phone directory I found in one
building. It listed about 600
numbers.
Their juxtaposition was inter
esting. No. 366 was for Eva
Braun's underground bunker.
To get his mistress Eva In her
regular room upstairs, Hitler
called 417.
Private Capital
Deputy Fuehrer Martin Bor-
mann had a whole building to
himself here. Press Chief Dr
Otto Dietrich end Munitions
Minister Albert Speer were oth
ers listed In the directory.
Everything Indicated that
Berghof became more and more
the Nazi party's private capital
as the war went on, especially
(tter allied bombs made Berlin
loo hot. But today the great
estate was as kaput as the Nazis
claim Hitler himself to be.
Buildings Leveled
Most of the buildings and
much of the grounds are as dev
astated as if a big battle had
been fought here, although s
task force from the third divi
sion took Berghof Friday night
without a fight. Most of the dam
age was done by allied air at
tacks, especially the RAF s 11-
ton battering a fortnight ago.
However, Hitler's own house
Haus Wachenfeld apparent
ly did not receive any direct hits
in spite of the air ministry s
claims. Civilians said SS troop
ers blew it to pieces last Thurs
day, just before the Americans
arrived.
