Emperor Hirohito to stay on the

to before Truman went to Pots-

The Aviation Committee
When it comes to consideration of
the establishment of an airpark or
other aviation landing facility; each
community finds itself faced with its
individual needs and problems. A
landing facility- for each of two com-
munities only a few miles apart may
have to meet quite different require-
ments.
Before construction can start,
even before a bond issue can be
listed, pertinent information should
be tabulated and plans made ac-
cordingly. Such matters as location
of the airpark, size, prospective use,
cost, potential income, related busi-
ness enterprise and many other sub-
assistance should, in my ■ opinion (
be defeated as a vicious effort to
lessen rather than increase the

posing it is for as follows: The j

private discussions, he emphasized
the point that Russia’s entry into
the war would materially shorten
the far eastern conflict.
Stalin not only agreed, but point-
ed out that Japan, being a Fascist
nation, was a natural enemy of the
Soviet Union and of all the Allied
anti-Fascist powers. He begged off
from detailed discussions, however,
on the ground that Russia had only
then begun to push the Nazis from
the vicinity of Moscow.
However, Stalin’s assurances
were such—especially after Roose-
velt sided with Stalin regarding
the second front through France—
that when Roosevelt returned from
the Teheran conference, he was
certin that barring unpredictable
reconversion delays. They point
out that as chairman of his old
Truman committee, he was par-
haps more familiar than anyone
else with the inefficiency of the
army and navy in planning for
supplies, and that since he kept
the same brass hats in office, he
cannot dodge responsibility.

Acheson, however, fought a losing
battle. Grew convinced Secretary
I of War Stimson and Secretary of
the Navy Forrestal that he was
right. He drew up a formula,
I later used as the basis for the
Potsdam declaration in which
Hirohito was not mentioned.
Grew’s argument was that Hiro-
hito could be used as a puppet by
the Allies, just as the Jap Fascists
had used him. It was also argued
