INSTEAD of demanding the death or removal of the
Emperor of Japan the Emperor is to act as official
spokesman for the allies in directing his subjects in
the direction of carrying out the peace terms. Free
dom of religion will be guaranteed the Japanese peo
ple which can only mean retention of the Emperor
for he is essentially a religious symbol. And last, but
FAR from least, the people of Japan will eventually
be allowed to choose by secret ballot what form of
government they wish to have PERMANENTLY.

Broadcasting Whang Doodle
When they are good they are very, very good; but
when they are bad they are horrid.
We refer not to Mother Goose but to the present
bumper crop of news commentators.
This broadcasting business is getting so popular
(and so profitable) that any man or woman with
a resonant radio voice and a second-hand edition of
the International Encyclopedia, think they can qual
ify as properly anointed Delphian oracles. ,
COR example, how CAN they any of them main-
tain President Truman's Thursday night speech
"did not violate the essential' spirit of the Atlantic
charter."
That is precisely what the speech and its implica
tions did do. Not once but several times.
Yet awav thev ero pontificating that "rightly un
derstand there is no disac?reement between the
understanding reached by former President Roose
velt and former Prime Minister Churchill on tnat war
ship in the Atlantic three years ago and the Potsdam
program, except in outward form, none in substance."
lost 0NE cant help but wonder if the commentator ever
d itl read the Atlantic charter; or listened to the Pres
ident's remarks on Thursday night.
For what could be plainer in the former than the
solemn nled(?e to allow no territorial aggrandizement
as a result of the present war. and at the end of it to
ii a nave iciuikcu jiuim vv i . 11 A
weeks at the seashore, where insist on self-determination for nations all nations
they were tanned by the wind jar,e or gmau weak or powerful, and by implication
at least, friendly or unfriendly.
Yet at Potsdam, as the President pointed out,
Russia secures parts of Poland; all of the Baltic states
formerly as independent as any of the other European
republics, while Poland is "aggrandized" by portions
of Germany.
The question is not whether these territorial
chances as a result of the allied victory were justified
or not justified ; the question is whether or not they
violated the essential spirit of the Atlantic charter.
Of course they did. And whv anyone should try
to maintain otherwise, is beyond the wildest conjec
ture of this department. R.W.R.
Was Ever Thus
As a postscript to the above it should be pointed
out that neither Russia nor Poland were, of course,
signatories to the Atlantic charter, and therefore are
free if they wish to repudiate it.
But again that is not the point. The point and
the only point is whether in agreeing to these ac
tions, the United States did or did not agree to a vio
lation of the Atlantic charter. And obviously the
U. S. A. did both as to territorial aggrandizement
and self-determination.
MOREOVER, in insisting upon U. S. bases in the
Pacific to be under the exclusive control of the
United States, the Atlantic charter also was violated.
These bases are taken, as the President ex
plained, not because we wish more territory or profit
or selfish advantage but merely we quote:
"To maintain those military bases which are
necessary for the complete protection of our interests
and of world peace."
TTIIAT is probably true.
But it is also true that Russia justified the con
quest and aggrandizement of the Baltic states Es
thonia, Lithuania and Latvia by the same argument.
In fact most territorial agerandizement in recent
years as a result of armed conflict have been thus jus
tified by the nations profiting therefrom all imper
ative as protection against future wars, the security
of the attacking nation and to maintain world peace !
Again the question is not whether such territorial
changes were justified but solelv whether they violat
ed the terms and spirit of the Atlantic charter.
That they did simply can't be denied. The onlv
explanation of the commentator who did deny such
an obvious fact we can conjure up is, i.e: he mis-spoke
himself when he said Atlantic charter he meant
i.United Nations charter I R.W.R.

Dr. Brady
of my age can jump any tim
I leaned out of my third floor
playroom window one day and
heard the kids down on the
street plotting to jump over or
through my young hedge and
"maybe Doc Brady will come
out and chase us!" I didn't chase
'em that day. My heart wasn't
in it. I felt nearly as sad as I
did ten or fifteen years before
that, when, attending a vaude
ville show, I was singled out
of the audience as the shining
object of a "mind reader's" trick.
The blindfolded performer sat
on the stage and his assistant
passed through the audienci
"At what am I pointing?" the
fellow asked. The performer
promptly answered "A gentle-
mans bald head." I turned to
laugh at the victim and found
the fellow was pointing at my
bald spot. It was the first time
I realized it was so conspicuous.
I was shocked and humilated
and I wonted to sue the theater
for it, but I refrained by advice
of counsel.
I remember when I was 30,
how sorry I felt for people who
were 40. What a dreadful thing
it must be to be 50 years old, I
thought. Didn't you, old timer?
Don't we all?
Now I am beginning to believe
what I see, and I see very few
people growing old or rather
I see a lot of them staying young
regardless of their years, and I
don't believe that is just accl
denal. I believe the old folks are
staying younger today for sev
eral specific reasons, and among
the reasons, I think, are the
following:
1. People today try to save
