In principle, the "lied cottage"
Isn't new to uh. We've known
It In the form of "company"
towns. Resentment against the
system, however, seem to be
deeper rooted here, for which
there nre probably two reasons.

There la abio the tradition of

of new thinking thut it sweeping
this Island.
THIS Evesham area Is regard
ed a.i distinctly "advanced."
For example, If a smull holder
wants to clear out, bo can sell
his leaso and his property, such
as Browing crops, to a neighbor
and move on wimoui saying oy

Tlrtit Isn't the general rule, this
writer is told (with England's
feudal tradition, landlordism is
an Institution here thut we Amer
icans find It hard to understand.)
Also, If a tenant has fruit trees
or aspurugus, or some similar
long-term crop, the trees and the
roots arc HIS PROPERTY, and
if he sells his leaso nnd moves,
or is dispossessed, he has to be
recompensed for them. That al
so Isn't the general rule else
where, If the tenant moves after
putting out an orchard or an
asparagus patch It Is Just too bnd,
and ho loses them.
This Evesham right of the

upheld by the courts recently.

Newspapers Appeal
For 'Peace Arid
Order'
By The Associated Press
Japan beaten on the battle
field, financially and economical
ly crippled and lacking even suf
ficient food for its people, is on
the very verge of complete in
ternal upheaval broadcasts
from that island empire indicat
ed plainly today.
The apparent fear of a public
outburst was voiced continually
in broadcasts recorded by the
FCC, both from the Japanese
Domci news agency and the
Tokyo radio, as officials and
newspapers alike appealed to the
people for maintenance of
"peace and order."
Iwata'i Views
Dr. Chuzo Iwata, justice min
ister in the new Japanese cab
inet, and as such the highest
police official in Japan, pointed
out in a press conference that
the allied conquerors might take
a hand - should local authority
fail. He warned that the Japan
"of the future will have to face
a considerably different situa
tion than she did while she was
still powerful, militarily and
financially, because she is now
a defeated nation."
Iwata's views were echoed by
Sinya Saka, new chief of the
Tokyo , metropolitan police, in
his first address to the Tokyo
force. !The postwar mainten
ance of peace ana order win oe
drastically different from war
time, Saka cautioned.
Premier Prince Naruhiko
Higashi-Kuni added his voice to
the list with the appeal to the
people to "maintain strict dis
cipline and equanamity in the
face of the current situation."
People Calmed
The Tokyo newspapers took
time from their campaign to
calm the despairing people, to
tell leaders who had plunged
the nation into the disastrous
war they were henceforth use
less, and to indicate the govern
ment was experiencing difficul
ty in handling elements of the
military clique.
The Nippon Times considered
gravely the difficulties confront
ing the cabinet in the mainte
nance of general peace and or
der and then observed that "con
trol of the military'' presented
to Higashi-Kuni an even greater
problem.
Throughout the editorial ran
an appeal to the people to re
main calm and to carry out the
terms for peace laid down by
the allies.
The Tokyo newspaper Asahi
urged the people to "reflect se
tiously on the grave mistake
made in the past of following
government blindly" and urged
all to carticipate in the govern
ment henceforth.
"Only in this way," Asahi
added, 'can a change in nation
al thought be effected and the
Japanese nation get out of the
present darkness and despair in
to a world of hope and construction."

Although traffic was particu

Drivers for the most part

The Japanese informed General
MacArthur that the action en
dangered the smooth cessation of
hostilities and asked him to see
that no more such "incidents"
occurred.
Wainwright, 61-year,old lead
er of the heroic American and
Philippine forces at Corregidor,
