Peace in China?
According to wire reports the "cease firing"
order has been delivered in embattled China, and for
the first time in over a decade peace will soon reign
in far-off Cathay.
A great achievement, and credit for same must
be given to General Marshall, our new envoy to
Chungking.
But this is a case where those who know most
about China, its internal situation, and the Chinese
character, will be disposed
velopments before joining
FOR an order to cease firing is one thing; restoring
law and order throughout China something else
again.
Moreover, there can
in China until one side
struggle really backs down.
Either the Chinese
disband their armies or submit them to absolute con
trol by Chiang Kai Shek,
or,
Chiang Kai Shek must agree to abandon the
conservative agrarian and private policies of his party
and take a sharp turn to the left, if not go over to out
right Communistic ideology
WTHEN official word comes from China that either
"of these two vital steps has been taken, this de
partment will join in the celebration, such a political
miracle would deserve.
But until then, we shall
the editorial fingers crossed,
maintain our habitat in Mr.
Missouri.
Revolt in
Speaking of China,
Kong is reported to be greatly alarmed by the signs
of revolt and dissension in the American army.
Well, a British general
egular U. S. army officer
matter.
For the first duty of a
is to obey and keep his mouth shut.
The American doughboys are obeying, but thev
are not keeping their mouths shut, they want to get
home, and they are making no bones about saying so.
' e e "e e a
A CERTAIN U. S. army officer in Manila made the
best rejoinder when he stated to a group of vocal
malcontents:
"Boys, you are not In General Motors, you are In the
army now."
They are in the army now and they should ac
cept without protest whatever their superior officers
declare the official program of discharge to be. Now
that their commander-in-chief, the President himself
has publicly endorsed this official demobilization
plan, perhaps they will.
RUT, if they don't, it should, we think, cause no
particular alarm.
For it is not, as the British general fears, a re
volt, in the accepted military sense at least. It is a
perfectly natural vocal reaction of any essentially
civilian and non-professional army, which is forced
to remain in service, particularly thousands of miles
from home, when the reasons for such service are
over.
This American army in World War No. II was
undoubtedly the greatest FIGHTING army this coun
try has ever seen.
But the boys in it went
do guard-duty, police duty, or week after week, noth
ing much at all.
And naturally they don
get out at the earliest possible moment. And those
who have been in the army longest want to get out
of it most, and should as far as that is concerned.
a a a a a
BUT they can't ALL get out at once. And some, as
wuc x i coiiici! u iicin ouiiuu, Lewi t uut, cit ui, at
least until the conditions, both in Europe and the Far
East materially change. A larger peace army than
ever before must be maintained.
The question, therefore, comes down to this.
who should get out now and
job?
There is the fly in this particular ointment.
Says' President Tinman :
"I have reviewed once more the army and navy pro
cedures. I am convinced, as every American who examines
the record must be, that the services are carrying out de
mobilization with all possible speed, with commendable ef
ficiency ond with Justice to all concerned."
Well, that is plain enough.
And it puts the burden of proof certainlv upon
those who maintain otherwise, particularly that jus
tice to the service men is NOT being done.
In lieu of such proof
the present agitation and unrest in the army will soon
die down and the rank and
peace, however irksome it
admirably in war.
RS.
Those who can't understand this resentful senti
ment in the army, probably fail to realize what a
change there has been in CIVILIAN morale since the
Second World War ended. We were all fighting
shoulder to shoulder behind the front six months ago.
there was little, if any, internal dissension.
Now the country is filled with it as this epidemic
of strikes is only one evidence. The army, naturally,
reflects the sentiment back home.

DAMPNESS
The rheumatics like to have
the world believe they can "feel
in their bones" an approach
lng storm or
change of
weather, but
Just between
ourselves the
neurotics, the
psychotics and
most other in
valids or vale
tudinarians re
act to change
of weather just
as much as the
rheumatics do,
Dr. Brady only the rheu
matics have pre-empted the pri
vilege of telling the world about
it. Patsy and Willum conferred
about the situation one day when
I asked their mamas not to take
them up the Icy mountain road
for winter sports; they decided
that I am an old fussbudget.
There may be some truth in that
I am almost impossible to live
with when the winter rains
come and the bowling greens
are just duck ponds forever and
a day. The dampness gets me
down then, my general manager
can tell you. I take it out on my
readers for certainly I serve
things heavily sauced with sar
casm at that time of year.
Perhaps you will have little
confidence in my views or
opinions regarding dampness.
That depends on how old you
are other than chronologically.
If you are still young enough to
think for yourself, what do you
think of my advice? My advice
is as follows:
1. Never mind dampness any
where at any time if you can
contrive to keep physically com
fortable. 2. Never worry about getting
wet through and having to wear
the wet clothes for hours or days
before you can change to dry.
3. Never concern yourself
about wet feet, so far as health
is concerned. Wetting may not
be good for shoes but I assure
you it is harmless to health in
any circumstance.
PRINTERS ACCEPT
SEATTLE PAPERS
Seattle, Jan. 12 (U.R) The
55 - day - old Seattle newspaper
strike ended tonight as striking
printers voted to accept a pub
lishers offer which increased
daily printers wages $2.65 and
night shift union mens' salaries
by $2.90.
Staffs of the morning Post
Intelligencer and the Times
streamed back into long-idle
newsrooms as picket lines were
lifted, and prepared to turn out
editions tonight and Sunday.
The publishers' offer, a com
promise to union demands for a
$2.95 dally wage increase, was
retroactive from Sept. 18 to Nov
18, the day printers walked out
to support their demands.
Meantime, worried city offi
cials were closeted with three
U. S. conciliation officers, of
ficials of the Bus Drivers union,
and the Seattle Transit commis
sion in efforts to settle a two
day transit tie-up which has left
250,000 residents without trans
portation. End of the newspaper strike
came less than three hours after
machinists in 47 up-town shops
voted overwhelmingly in favor
of striking to support 30 per
cent wage increase demands.
Date for the machinists strike
was not set pending word from
the union's Washington, D. C
headquarters.

DISORDER RULES
Port au Prince, Haiti, Jan. 12
(U.R) A military junta which
took control of Haiti after de
posing and imprisoning presi
dent Elie Lescot worked fever
ishly tonisht to set up a new

Ten persons were killed and
100 were injured in the disor

Ronzier was believed to be un

IN EUROPE ASKS
END G.I. PROTEST
Frankfurt, Jan. 12 (U.R)
Gen. Joseph T. McNarney asked
soldiers in the European theater
today not to hold any more de
mobilization demonstrations and
a delegation of 55 GI's agreed
that the need for them no longer
existed.
McNarney, commander of
American army forces in Eur
ope, told the servicemen that the
demonstrations could have a bad
effect on both Germans and
other occupation forces. He ad
mitted, however, that they had
"served a useful purpose."
The soldier representatives
met informally with McNarney
and staff officers to ask ques
tions and make complaints about
redeployment delays.
Before the questioning began,
McNarney listed three reasons
why American forces could not
leave the European theater im
mediately: 1. The United States has ac
cepted occupation responsibili
ties. 2. Millions of dollars worth
of surplus property must be dis
posed of.
3. Many prisoners of war and
Nazis must be guarded and con
trolled. T5 Norman M. Rose, Los An
geles, took advantage of McNar-
ney's plea for frankness when
he complained that his work as
army photographer consisted of
taking pictures of "redeploying
dogs" and "generals trading de
corations.
