H.raf.1 PublUhing Co. and Member, Auoolaud PrM Membr Audit Bureau Circulation EPLEY Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLEY THREE doves alighted on the golden cross atop the beautiful tower of the Sacred Heart Catholic church here last evening, shortly after peace announcements were flashed from Washing ton. Tho birds perched on the terminal points of the cross, presenting a symbolic picture against the evening sky. They remained there for an hour, facing the setting sun. On one occasion they flew sway, and then returned to the same positions. Observers summoned a news nhntnirranher. but before he could take a picture the birds had flown, possibly frightened by bursting firecrackers and other sounds of peace celebration .revelry in the nearby business district streets. This morning, as peace services were held within the church, the birds returned, this time facing the morning sun. Bill Delury, the Sacred Heart sexton, tells us that he never before has seen the birds perched on the cross, although they frequently fly around the tower. By coincidence or otherwise, they chose the cross as their perching place when peace came August 14, 1945. , . , We Are At Peace WALKING down through the quiet town this morning, we had to remind our selves repeatedly that peace now reigns oyer the world, and there would be no fighting news on the teletypes when we reached the office, except the hangover from a war now ended. We looked back in the files at the paper of December 8, 1941, the day after Pearl Harbor. We wrote in this space that day that it was not all a bad dream, but stark reality those black headlines, the radio dispatches, the hostile planes over an American navy base. It was difficult then to realize immediately the full significance of the four words we are at war. It is difficult now, after more thBn three and a half years, to realize to the full the happier truth embodied in the words, "we are at peace." It means the- end of tragedy and destruction. It opens a new field of national and inter national problems, equal to those with which Americans have struggled in the war years. We have achieved, in those years, a unity former ambassador to Japan. His long tenure in Tokyo gave power to his Influence In tho administration and dragged tho now State Sec retary Byrnes along. Tho Grew theory was that tho emperor, an unjustifiable God over his people, would have influence which would be useful to us in the postwar world. Mr. Truman went along, presumably because of his long-held personal conviction that lives would be saved by any satisfactory peace short of unconditional surrender. Tokyo's Treachery THESE were the motivating influences behind the developments of the last few days, yet there prevails among a rather largo group of congressmen, perhaps half of those remaining here during the recess, a firm belief that we are facing in Tokyo a clique just as tricky and unscrupulous in peace as the nazis in Ger many. These senators observed, the original Japanese note started out with tho assertion that the emperor had always desired peace in the world, and they could not forget how this same emperor sent peace emissaries to Wash ington, while sending aircraft carriers at the same time for a sneak destruction at Pearl Harbor. The preposterous note, they thought, was worded like an arrogant assumption that we must be stupid. American troops in the South Pacific were so enthusiastic at the time of the fake U.P. flash, some authorities thought a question of morale might arise if anything unfortunate happened to the peace negotiations. The Japs know such things indeed, and when the false flash broke, there were many here who sus pected the Japs might have tapped the U.P. wire in order to build up a popular demand for peace behind the Truman negotiations, although this seems technically to be diffi cult or impossible according to inside officials. The wire into which the false news was fed was a printer circuit, not a Morse wire. It was much easier for authorities here to suspect at the outset, that some idle machine on the wire had been plugged in by a prankster, or some one with a personal purpose, rather than to sus pect a Jap trick. Clever Planning YET such insidious types of clever planning have come to be expected from the nazis tw nnr nponle. and the news evidence of the lost few months shows clearly the Japs fol lowed nazi propaganda technique as far as their limited ability permitted. Indeed, the evi dence was so plain as to warrant the warning in this column dated last Thursday, August 9 and published the following day, before the Jap peace move was known, to beware of further steps by Japan toward "a sneak peace'' and "Pearl Harbor trickery" in the peace. Congress Not Confident IT must be reported also, for the sake of com pleteness, that congress does not unanimously enjoy the same confidence as Mr. Truman lo the judgment of Mr. Grew on Japan. Mr. Grew was the ambassador in Tokyo at the time of Pearl Harbor and earlier when we were send ing scrap iron, oil and other valuable war SIDE GLANCES oawLm.iririAOWvKt.we. t, h, aia, . a, mt. art. "Bill's a nice boy. but remember, if you should have a little quarrel, call trie up ri(ht away I wish he weren't so used to shooting Japs!" . that will stand us in good stead if we supplies to Japan in hopeful delusion that these cling to it. It is a good time now to pledge ourselves to resist me xorces mai wm seen, to divide us. Local Question LOCALLY, the end of the war finds our industry involved in the first major labor problem in the entire war period. A serious strike finally brought a blot to a nearly perfect record. Up to this time, there is little evidence of headway in efforts to end this undesirable situation. We do not know how sincere or determined those efforts have been, but we do know that it is the responsibility of labor, management and government agencies to work vigorously in that direction. Through letters and other expressions, we opinion generally favors an early settlement FlfSt rriOrity of this question. It is important now that we have peace at home. would bring peace. It is always possible lor an ambassador to go back ,into official dis patches and pick out a. few lines he sent among others weeks or months previously, which would indicate he knew what was coming, but certain ly if Mr. Grew knew, he did not convince anvnn in Washington at the time, as no one in Washington took steps commensurate with what came. The least exDected here by the wary con gressmen is that the Japanese military clique will use every unscrupulous device possible to thwart the peace in any peace agreement made. I think the Truman' government realizes these clear prospects, but has not cared to put the emphasis upon them which the congressmen place, and believes it will be able to cope with any possibilities once it geis control, Y personal belief is that the first postwar News Behind The News By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, Aug. 15 Advice for Mr. Truman to negotiate a peace with Japan leaving the emperor atop his people came largely from State Under Secretary Grew, our k. A Pl priority for Japan is destruction of their unjustified religious faith in their emperor to all other rulers on earth and a lineal descendent of the Sun Goddess. It can be done with truth and facts showing that concubines and cut-throats got into that supposedly unbroken lineage from heaven, as all Japanese intellect uals well know, but not by continuing or using the superstition which was the greatest propaganda facility of the Jap war makers.

They ceased to fall be cause the nazis were whipped and could no longer launch them. The MENACE of Germany was removed. You know how it is. When DANGER IS IN THE AIR you dr your best and if you're normal you do it uncomplaining ly. When the danger passes you relax and IMMEDIATELY you become conscious of all your m nor discomforts. U was that way with the British. When the bombs quit falling, they realized suddenly that they didn't have all they wanted to eat, that get ting what there was was an bound uo with red tape, that their personal liberties were in hibited, that there were no houses to live in, that they had to stand in Queues tor every thing from busses up.

'T'HERE enters here a point that in this writer's opinion Is of the utmost lmoortance. 11 presi dent Roosevelt had been defeated last fall, it would have been PERSONAL defeat for him a clear sign in the sky that the American peome nad lost con fidence in HIM, and wanted SOMEBODY else as their leader. It doesn t seem to be that way here. After diligent inquiry, pursued among as nearly all classes of people as a stranger in a strange citv in a foreign country can come into contact with, tnis writer is convinced that there is NO diminution in the respect in which Churchill Is held. They are just as fond of him as ever. People of the obvious type that must have voted the Labor ticket speak of him with AK' FECTION Listening to this talk, one just can t believe thnt there was any PERSONAL element in Chur chill's defeat.

To this: The government or Britain is a GOVERNMENT OF LAWS, and in the recent spec tacular election the people of Britain were going after the makers of the laws, with little rancor toward the EXECUTIVE who bosses the job. They were entirely consistent. We in America are trending toward a GOVERNMENT OF MEN. When w don't like the way things are being run, we GO AFTER THE MAN. It in t a oarticularly comfort ing conclusion, but that is about the best this writer can mane. of it. a ALSO no one can make this humble writer believe the British are going off the deep end into socialism and all Its works.
