By Arthur Parry
A high member of the War
Crimes commission doubts if
members of the Nazi Elite SS
Guards and Gestapo are guilty
under international law. They
committed all killings, wholesale
and retail, in Der Reich. There
is still a chance some of them
may get a justice court fine for
parking a murder car in front
of a fire hydrant. Trial of the
war criminals by lawyers is apt
to turn out like a world peace
cooked up by politicians.

An outfielder of the Oakland,
Cal., club has been suspended for
use of profanity within earshot
of the fans. He must think he is
Gen. Patton or Adm. Halsey,
who are addicted to the use of
profanity within earshot of the
enemy.

Democratic leaders fear Pres
ident Truman's lack of oratorical

a handicap in the 1948 presiden

out of the last four standard
bearers of the Republican party

Some of the new autoes tup
posed to be available late next
fall, will have the engine in the
rear. This sounds like a practi
cal Idea. Even the most dare
devilish driver can't back up fast

it where it belongs.

The Russians report belatedly,
they have four cadavers, picked
up In the ruins of Berlin, one of
which "with fair certainty"
might be what was once Hcrr

"good neighbor" to the wrong
party.

The proposal to make the old
courthouse at Jacksonville a pi
oneer relic museum recalls when
it was dedicated, a Bible and a
$S gold piece were buried In the
cornerstone. It would be Inter

are still there. Besides 12 years
have passed since it was legal to
look at a $9 gold piece without
pulling down all the blinds.

TREND OF THE TIMES
(S.F. Chronicle)

News Behind
The News
By Paul, Mallon
New York, June 7. It was a
hard-war program which Mr.
Truman put before congress.
Unlike Mr.
Roosevelt, he
told the people
what was
needed In men
and energy to
defeat the Jap-
a n e s e. Like
Mr. Roosevelt
his pri m a r y
point was that
we must drive
the Japs to un
Paul Halloo
condlt tonal
surrender. Cri
ticism Immediately arose, dis
closing opposition on this point
such as existed against Mr.
Roosevelt. It is not ill-natured
opposition, but represented a
genuine view that lives can be
saved by concessions,
I saw one critique which put
the matter this way: Mr. Roose
velt was a frustrated person
trying to imitate in this war
General "Unconditional Surren
der" Grant in the civil war, who
earned his nickname at Fort
Donaldson but gave generous
terms to Lee at Appomattox
I think I can demonstrate If
you will read on, that any pro
cedure except the Roosevelt
Truman policy of unconditional
surrender is not only impractic
able, but impossible the nope
of many people to save lives by
offering conditional surrender
Is founded on an unsound under
standing of military history, par
ticularly the same civil war.
fUE Japanese
war Is being
a ruling mili
tary clique with the full support
of the people. No terms to the
clique are possible because these
would mean the end of the per
sons who operate it. Any terms
offered to the people could not
be effective until they overthrow
the clique, and, therefore, the
only feasible time to consider
terms is after Hint. But when
they have done this, they are
prepared for unconditional or
any surrender.
Try to write some terms to
encourage them to revolution
and you will see how Impossible
Is the task. One critique I saw
suggested we offer the pcoplo

the restoration of their emperor.
What emperor, to what Japonese
class and for how long? Unless
Jap military might is first crush
ed can we possibly contrive any
thing to prevent another bigger
Pearl Harbor 20 years hence
a successful one next time?
see
I DO not believe wars can be
ended except by uncondition
al surrender. The terms which
Grant gave Lea at Appomattox
had nothing to do with the end
of the war. Further resistance
proved impossible before Lee
asked for the terms.
You have to beat an enemy In
any war in order to get any
terms, then, after they are beat
en, you can call It whatever you
like it is still unconditional
surrender. In the war of 1812
we negotiated a peace before we
won the battle of New Orleans,
and this fiasco resulted in terms
so unpopular they could not be
enforced by the victors against
us. ; .
Nothing can be gained by kid
ding ourselves. Lives are saved
in wars by swift, decisive action.
The quicker you beat the enemy
the smaller is your casualty list.
Therefore, what you need is
overpowering might and shrewd
generalship, not peace programs.
You can never save lives by sell
ing your war aims short.
a a a
INNUENDOES suggestwe
might do well to leave Japan
with something to offset pro
spective Russian Inroads in Asia,
or capture of that continent, as
Europe has been considerably
captured. That is not our way.
This nation acts on the basis of
first deciding what Is right, and
then pursuing It with irresistible
might to final conclusion. We
have done better as a nation fol
lowing our own way than any of
the double-dealers in all Euro
pean or world history. There Is
greater power In the American
heritage than anyone can mus
ter. That power and heritage
will survive in this world long
after the double-dealers have
contrived their extinction by
their own artifices.

Vtgas Dog Training
To the editor: Recently we
read that returning veterans
wished only to be home, and to
live In peace and quiet. Shall wa
not begin to create such an atmo
sphere for them, in this fair city?
The happy barking of dogs at
play, or as they greet their
friends, is not condemned. How
ever, the unnecessary yelping of
dogs, whose owners seem un
concerned with dog training or
of the peace and goodwill of
their neighbors, surely can be
avoided.
Since certain dog owners can
and do train their pets, so that
they are not a nuisance, whether
tied or not, why cannot all dog
owners fulfill the same responsi
bility?
Are the pets of wise, consider
ate owners smarter than the
others?
Not only Is this disturbance
Imposed upon long - suffering
neighbors during the three
months of gardening. Many dogs
are allowed to chase after and
yelp at every passerby on foot
or in a car.
Returning veterans would
think that a machinegun was set
up in the neighborhood. Is this
the just and lasting peace, they
fought for7
This appeal also applies to
blaring radios. Most homes have
a radio which they can listen to
whenever they wish. They do not
need their neighbor's.
Everyone should be happy to
consider any means that would
help make this a peaceful city.
All can help by being consider
ate of their neighbors who may
be weary or ill, but are too
courteous to complain. We ac
cept the necessary noises, but
dogs, like the radios are a source
of pleasure only when they are
controlled.
Many thanks to the kind doe
trainer who offered her service..
Let her publish rules on the care
and training of dogs. We would
greatly benefit by nracticine
such rules. (Name on file.)
