Marshall Petain, as predicted in this column many
weeks ago was convicted of treason but not executed.
Had the Marshall been a citizen of this country,
under similar conditions, he would have been ac
quitted. That is if he had ever been tried, which is
doubtful.
For in this country it is assumed a man is innocent
unless his guilt has been proved beyond a reasonable
doubt.
In France the accused must prove his innocence,
his guilt is assumed.
Equally important perhaps, in this country politi
cal mistakes are not regarded as crimes. In France
they often are. particularly when war or fear of war
exists.
'IXT'E doubt if any American, much less 12 of them,
who attended the trial would have for a moment
maintained Petain's treason had been proved beyond
a reasonable doubt.
There was, from the evidence in fact every rea
son to believe that, while the old Marshall was mis
taken in his assumptions, and pro-Fascist in his polit
ical beliefs, he did what he did for what he believed
to be the best interests of his country and not to give
aid and comfort to the Germans.
In all likelihood history will record the trial and
punishment of the "Hero of Verdun" as a striking ex-

gave my opinion that a glass of

have their

they are eas-
ier to live
with. It is . too
early to assay
the effect of
this, I suppose,
aVLitJoa but up to this
Dr. Brady writing I have
not read the blizzard of letters
I expect to receive in conse
quence. In approving and advocating
this regular use of alcoholic
beverages by elderly people I
am not unmindful of the fact
that my mother was an active
member of the Women's Christ
ian Temperance Union, that she
persuaded her children to give
her a sacred pledge nothing is
more sacred than a promise to
one's mother against the use of
any form of alcohol or tobacco
before we were twenty-one. I
still believe that if some millions
of children fated to grow up In
Yankeeland today had mothers
like mine in that respect well
It wouldn't be so bad for their
hanniness and welfare. If mO'
thers are indifferent about it,
then wouldn't it be a fine thing
if fathers assumed such protec
tive custody of their children
during the formative years?
What I mean to say is that if
the influence of the W.C.T.U
and of other temperance socie
ties nr movements was needed
when he were kids in Cananrtai-
gua and only abandoned women
ventured to visit even the high
class bar. what a rotten break
the kids get today, with the easy
enticement of the "cocktail
lounge" on every corner and so
phisticated ladies (eh!) doing
their stuff there.
Perchance some readers will
infer than I am inconsistent. I
advise the old folks to have a
glass of wine or beer twice a day
for the sake of health and good
cheer. At the same time I ad
vise young people to be total ab
stainers for at least the first fifty
years, and no ifs or ands about
it.
It's like this: From my knowl
edge of the action of alcohol on
the body, its effects on metaool
Ism, physical and mental effic
iency, respiration, circulation,
growth, development, I am con
vinced that in any concentration
or quantity alcohol is always
harmful and often dangerous to
any one who has not reached
full maturity and begun to die.
This is not just my notion but
the simple truth: All life, ani
mal, vegetable, human, follows
the ordained cycle of birth,
growth, development, reproduc
tion, maturity, decline or degen
eration and death. Death is the
periodic reduction of life mater
ials to elementary form for re
construction. At no point in the
life cycle is there a perceptible
pause. It is constant change. In
the biological sense death is the
gradual decline or degeneration
that begins the moment the body
has attained full maturity. The
rate of progress of this decline
depends largely upon the body's
nutritional condition. That, of
course, depends on how you
have lived.
And so I say, if and when you
have begun to die, a glass of
wine or beer once or twice a day
will make your dying easier for
you and for those who love you
and live with you.

To the editor: The deepest
pain and the greatest anguish
felt by parents today is not caus
ed by a message that a son or
daughter has been killed in ac
tion, for our faith in God com
forts us, that our beloved one is
safe in His all-gracious care.
Neither is it the news of some
one near to us being wounded,
for the abiding hope that is in
spired by that same faith bears
us up to meet the most dismay
ing facts. But something we have
no balm to heal is the wounds
inflicted by our children who
seem to delight in ignoring our
authority, denying our wisdom
shunning our advice, and doing
things against our wish and will
Strangely, too, our youth do not
seem to understand their own
actions and seem to share in the
suffering.
Our sin is great, for by it our
children are separating them
selves from God's ways and are
not likely to ever find Him and
the abiding Peace He alone can
give; for if they do not love
and obey their parents, whom
they have seen, how can they
love God, whom they cannot
see? And He has commanded,
"Thou shalt honor thy father and
thy mother, that it may be well
with thee."
We must pray for forgiveness
and humble ourselves before our
Heavenly Father, as we would
have our children do. We must
pray that they have understand
ing and be led in the way of
truth and righteousness.
Our God and our Christ have
not failed us, but we have failed
them. They ask only that we
"return" and they will return
to us. Let us begin to do that
today.

"Although a capacity audience
hissed the magnificent Luzon

Washington, Aug. 18 U.F9
The two foremost authorities on
the far east in congress tonight
approved allied use of the Jap
anese emperor in obtaining sur
render but warned that we must
be ready to change tactics if
Hirohito fails to control Japan's
military forces.
Sen. Elbert Thomas, D., Utah,
chairman of the senate military
affairs committee, a teacher in
Japan, also proposed that Dutch, I
Australian, New Zealand, Fill-1
pino and American Japanese
troops be used in the occupation
of Japan in addition to big four
forces.
"That would certainly show
the Japanese that this was not
a racial war, and that we are
willing to give members of the
Asiatic races equal opportuni
ties with anyone else," he said.
Rep. Michael Mansfield, D.,
Mont., considered the No. 1
house expert on far eastern af
fairs, proposed immediate re
vision of the Japanese constitu
tion to eliminate the privileged
legal position of the military
leaders.
Thomas and Mansfield dis
cussed future Japanese problems
on the weekly (NBC) radio pro
gram, "Our Foreign Policy."
They were in general agreement
on the policy to be pursued to
ward Japan, although Thomas
was more - optimistic about the
policy thus far laid out. They
agreed that:
1. If the allies conduct their
occupation of Japan wisely, they
can bring about a more demo
cratic way of life in Japan.
2. Using the emperor for ob
taining, surrender was wise and
saved thousands of American
lives, but the extent of his fu
ture usefulness will bear close
watching.
3. A democratic Japan, and a
democratic, united, prosperous
China are essential to peace in
the far east.
Mansfield admitted that China
was badly split now between the
Chungking and Communist
groups. But once its internal dif
ficulties are solved, he said,
China will take Japan's place as
the great Asiatic power.
Thomas felt that Japan's sur
render may force the Chinese
factions to settle their differences

to Gen. Douglas MacArthur noti

showed "men on the street" fav
ored dropping more atomic
bombs on Japan, by a ratio of 12
