Will China Go "Red?"
The next few months will be critical ones in China.
For what happens when an irresistible force meets
an immovable body will have to be decided.
The crisis may be delayed, but eventually it will
have to be met.
THE immovable body is the Chungking government
headed by Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek.
The irresistible force is represented by the Chinese
Communists headed by General Tze Tung.
Unless all signs fail China will soon be faced by
the same predicament this country faced some So
years ago, when Abraham Lincoln declared no coun
try could long endure half-slave and half-free.
China will hardly be able to endure long half com
munist and half democratic, unless some unexpected
miracle is performed, and even so such a miracle
could hardly be permanent.
e e
IF recent grape-vine reports are correct, however,
1 Premier Soong of Chungking, on his recent visit to
Moscow made a deal with Generalissimo Stalin,
whereby the latter gets important territorial conces
sions in exchange for keeping hands off, as far as the
Chinese reds are concerned.
If this is true, then General Tze Tung will be in a
tough spot, for his forces will be hopelessly outnumb
ered by those of the Chungking government and
armed resistance for the time being would have to be
abandoned.

And then what the Soong deal delayed, will inevit

for all. And how it can be decided except by force is
difficult to imagine.
So what, another war?
Probably. And in spite of the United Nations' pact
to prevent war?
Again, probably. For the new League of Nations

"It Can Be Done!"
If hell is paved with good intentions, perhaps its
central heating system was laid out by those "good
people" who always approve of certain laudable ef
forts but refuse to assist because, we quote, "It
can't be done."
, There were many of those at the recent San Fran
cisco conference particularly on the side-lines.
"Oh yes, we heartily approve a world organization to pro
mote peace, but you know there always have been wars and
there always will be, it just CAN'T be done."
And invariably the members of this "it can't be
done" brigade prided themselves upon their superior
worldly knowledge, "REALISTS" they liked to be
called ; while those on the opposing side were always
dreamers, nice people but so ineffective and imprac
tical, "don't you know!"
IT was ever thus.

The doom of the Industrial and
financial "emperors" of Japan is
certain, regardless of the fate of
Hirohito. Article I of the Pots
dam Peace Formula specified
that those "who have deceived
and misled the people of Jaoan
into embarking on world con
quest" must be eliminated for all
time.
That applies to the "war
lords.' But it also fits exactly
the influential and authoritative
Mitsui, Mitsubishi, Sumitomo
and Aikama families and trusts.
Those four groups hold the con
trol of Japanese finance and in
dustry, shipping and farming in
their tight-fisted and ambitious
control.
One of them has disappeared
already in the debacle, the up-

ily the name means "three

to medieval Nippon. Baron Mit
sui is easily worth $100,000,000
in his own name and is one of
the ten richest men in this world.
The Mitsui group controls 14
percent of all Japanese cotton
business, 78 percent of its paper,
17 percent of its cement, 17 per
cent of ils mining, 11 percent of
its coal shipping, and S percent
of Its electro-chemicals.
Second only to the Mitsui fam
ily is the Mitsubishi trust. This
is not a family but a trade name,
meaning "three lozenges," and
the family involved is ,. named
Iwasakl. Its money comes from
banking, shipping, insurance and
warehousing. It controls 47 per
cent of all Japanese wheat busi
ness, 19 percent of Its sugar, 17
percent of its beer, and 37 per
cent of all Japanese shipping.
The Sumitomo family is com
paratively restricted in its in
vestments but controls 20 per
cent of all warehousing, ?? per
cent of all warehousing, 10 per
ness and 32 percent of the wires
and cables.
The fortune of Emperor Hiro
hito and the Imperial family is
tremendous and has recently
been estimated at 4 percent of all
the wealth in Japan.
Hirohllo's fortune was known
to be widely scattered but con

Will See Scrap Again
To the editor: This is in an
swer to a communication writ
ten by Harold Boch of Portland
and appearing in your paper
August 18. It seems that Mr.
Boch wishes to know what has
become of "our sense of reason
and justice . . . humility and
compassion , . . love and un
derstanding of all mankind," as
related to our atomic bombing
of Japan.
There are a few things that
Mr. Boch seems to have forgot
ten A Sunday morning in 1941
that was shattered by the Jap
anese attack on Pearl Harbor
(should this intensify our sense
of reason and justice?) . . . the
brutal bombing of open cities
(should this excite our humility
and compassion for our foes?)
. . . the horrible beheading of
Doollttle's flyers and the march
of death (do these acts harbor
the germ of love and under
standing?) We have learned
through painful experience that
we must fight fire with fire; that
love and understanding simply
do not contain the power to
bring a brutal enemy to terms
that an atomic bomb contains.
Would the kind and compassion
ate prefer to continue reading
the long casualty list in each
day's paper and watch the gold
stars appear in the windows of
countless homes? Or would they
rather that the boys came home
now at a slight cost to our na
tional conscience?
Americans need not fear. The
aforementioned admirable qual
ities are not dead in our people'

years of savage war. They are
not dead because people forget
all too quickly. Chances are that

TEST TUBE BABY
Denver, Aug. 20 U.R) Jus
tice of the Peace David Oyler
said today that Mrs. Irene W.
King, an expectant mother, ad
mitted to him that her child was
not conceived by articipial in
temlnation. as she at first had
claimed.
Mrs. King, wife of Cpl. James
King, 21, of Chicago, admitted
the "test tube" hoax, according
to Oyler, when she appeared at
his office with an old school
mate, Eugene Thompson, who
admitted that he was the father
of the infant expected some time
next month.
"They wanted to be married,"
Justice Oyler explained, "but I
told them that they couldn't be
married until after Mrs. King
was divorced from her soldier
husband." Meanwhile, it was understood
that Corporal King, an overseas
veteran, had instituted divorce
proceedings in Chicago. How
ever, no complaint had been
served yesterday on Mrs. King,
the Denver justice said. Mrs.
King was not available for com
ment. According to Oyler, both Mrs.
King and Thompson were school
mates at Kearney, Neb. He said
that if King obtains the divorce
in Chicago, the couple could be
married immediately, but that a
six-month wait would be requir
ed in the event that Mrs. King
launched the proceedings.
It was understood that King
planned to start the divorce pro
ceedings on the grounds that the
baby his wife expects was con
ceived by artificial insemination
during his absence and without
his consent. Since then, Mrs.
King admitted Oyler said, that
Thompson was the father of the
expected child.

RAVEL PRIORITY
BY AIR FOR YEAR
Why Be Solicitous of Stalin
To the editor: Quoting your
editorial of Aug. 17, "Only by
speaking softly, being friendly
and conciliatory in our attitude,
can we ever hope to allay Rus
sia's fears regarding the Inner
motives of the two great English
speaking nations . . .'
When you speak of Russia in
this way, it is the same as speak
ing of Stalin; for Stalin is Rus
sia as far as the Russian govern
ment is concerned. And who is
Stalin that we should be so so
licitous of his good opinion? He
has "purged'' 90 per cent or
more of his closest political asso
ciates. Witness "One Who Sur
vived." His record of people ex
iled, murdered, enslaved, and
tortured Is second only to Hit
ler's. Ivan, the average Russian citi
zen, can't leave his home for
more than 24 hours without per
mission of the police. Ivan works,
lives, and thinks as he is told.
That Ivan made a good soldier
and fought valiantly against the
Germans has been fortunate for
us so far, but we may see the
day when we will not be so hap
py over his fighting qualities.
Why should we, whose con
sciences, compared with Stalin's,
are lily-white, be the ones to
woo Stalin? Why should it not
be the other way? Why should
not Stiilin. to show his good
faith, permit a pro-U.S A., pro
democratic party to be establish
ed in Russia as a true opposition
party, with a press tree to dis
seminate Its viewpoint? We per
mit the Russians this privilege
in our country.
As for the atomic bomb, the
secret of which you propose
should be revealed at once to
the United Nations, such reve
lation would mean that nations
like Argentina would share the
secret, liow long then would it
