Joppeasers
A London paper devotes several columns
of rationed space to the unmasking of the
1944 version of the Cliveden Set. This time
it is reported that certain influential figures
are interested in sponsoring a negotiated
peace with Japan, just as the Cliveden Set
wanted to negotiate peace with Hitler in the
early days of the war.
Who these creatures are the paper does
not say, except that the set includes some
members of parliament and others in posi-
tion of influence.
The appeasers of Japan are not likely to
gather much strength, just as the Cliveden
Set failed in its purpose to unroll a welcome
mat on Britain’s doorstep for Adolf Hitler.
But the very fact that such a viewpoint
prevails even among as many as a dozen
people of position and influence is distress-
ing, if not disturbing. Evidently there are
some people left in the world who still
think you can do business with Hitler and
Hirohito.
We doubt if any considerable number of
Britons would hear to the appeasement of
Japan. A peace on any basis except un-
conditional surrender—surrender after Ja-
pan has been beaten to a pulp—would be
appeasement, an invitation to Japan to take
time out to recoup its losses and prepare for
another successful war.
We are positive few thoughtful Americans
would hear to it. The American people are
highly resolved on two things in connection
with Japan. One is to destroy Japan as a
military power. The other is to make cer-
tain that this destruction is permanent, not
temporary.
We have been dumb and negligent in times
past, but we don’t believe we will ever be
dumb and negligent again with respect to
Japan. Just to be certain that we don't get
caught again, we’re going to destroy Japan
this time right down to her foundations. If
one stone is left upon another in Tokyo when
we get through, it will be an oversight pure
and simple.
Speaking of Chivalry
Another group of 28 American clergymen
and writers, including a co-secretary of the
American Fellowship of Reconciliation, have
appealed to Christians to “examine them-
selves concerning their participation in this
carnival of death—the war.” This is appar-
ently an open invitation to stop supporting
this country’s war effort—or do words mean
anything?
Their particular grudge is against bomb-
ing of the enemy, rudely called "Massacre by
Bombing," after a booklet by an English-
woman picturing the destruction wrought on
10 German cities. It refers to the “former
dencencies and chivalry" of war and comes
out in favor of open towns and other non-
military sanctuaary areas. It winds up by
intimating that the United Nations might be
approaching use of poison gas.
The allies did not start the bombing of
It is a pity that some of them could not
have been caught in Poland or Holland or
Norway, just for the instructive value of the
experience. It is a pity some of the "Fellow-
ship of Reconciliation" could not have made
that Death March 'off Bataan. They live in a
world of unreality. They never missed a meal
in their lives, or felt the whip of a Super-
man upon their “chivalrous" backs. It is too
bad they haven’t
Postwar Europa
John J. McCloy, assistant secretary of war
in charge of civil affairs, has looked over
the situation in Italy from the standpoint of
Allied Military Government (AMG) prob-
lems and reached this conclusion:
“War and fascism have left them (the Ital-
ian people) with a general atrophy of spirit
and capacity to help themselves. In my
judgment it will be a long time before Italy
really is back on her feet again.”
One of AMG’s biggest headaches has been
in finding non-fascist administrators to help
carry on its work. In many cases, one is left
to suppose, it has been necessary to use
known fascists until non- or anti-fascist ma-
terial could be turned up and trained. This
explains if it does not justify the frequent
charge that we have not been too diligent in
rooting out fascist influences and personali-
ties. It also explains why we have leaned
on the Badoglio crutch: it was the only
crutch available that could serve the pur-
pose. **
Our experience in Italy may be repeated
in France and the Low Countries and
throughout Hitler Europe: we may have a
great deal of trouble finding enough people
with enough spirit left to render us any ef-
fective aid in rehabilitation, much less in
conquering the Nazis. Years of semi-starva-
tion, brutal repression and constant intimi-
dation leave their effect on the human spirit.
It may be that no living generation of Euro-
peans will ever be able to beat back to a
state approximating normality. The war may
leave Europe at the beginning of a new Dark
Age. Only the extraordinary diligence and
persistence of outsiders can save her from
such a fate. Only the flaming torch of liber-
ty, a restoration of the sense of the innate
dignity of man, stand between Europe and
generations of doubt and degeneracy. Hitler
and Mussolini have left the mark of the'
Beast on millions of survivors.
Peace will be full of challenges, no less
renowned than war. If we turn our back on
our responsibilities we will have betrayed
unborn generations.

M’ARTHUR BACKER KEEPS PLUGGING
By MARQUIS CHILDS
WASHINGTON-That steady, un-
relenting sound heard on Capitol
Hill is the drum which Senator
Arthur Vandenberg of Michigan is
beating for General MacArthur.
He's not troubling about delegates
or organization.. He just goes on
hammering away on the theme of
the inevitability of MacArthur’s
candidacy for President. /
And the funny thing is he really
believes that his hero is going to get
the Republican nomination Arthur
Vandenberg has some of the same
romantic hero-worship which is part
of Douglas MacArthur. He believes
in Destiny with a capital D.
The Senator from Michigan shares
with the General a love for purple
prose. That may be one reason he
is such a MacArthur fan—an ad-
miration for the highly colored
rhetoric that the General gives off
in moments of emotion. It even
creeps into the MacArthur com-
muniques.
But Vandenberg can advance a
reason grounded in practical poli-
tics. too. He says that the voters this
fall will be voting for a command-
er-in-chief. Ten million mothers
fathers will be flunking of the man
who will determine the destinies of
their children. If the Republicans
nominate an eminent civilian with
no war record, he will inevitably
the country since 1935. At the re-
quest of the Philippine government
he went out to organise the Philip-
pine army after he had,completed
his tour of duty—extended by Pres-
ident Roosevelt beyond the normal
term-as Chief of Staff here in
Washington.
NOT IN TOUCH
For nearly a decade—one of the
most crowded and eventful ten
years in American history—Mac-
Arthur has had everything at second
hand. He cannot know the temper
of the great mass of the American
people. Dealing with human beings
on an ordinary level has never been
easy for the General in any event.
Vandenberg tries to turn the
handicap into an advantage. He
says that MacArthur would be free
of the factional prejudices that be-
set the country. He could unify
America as could no one else.
Buttressing all these fine argu-
ments is Van's conviction of Mac-
Arthur's 20-karat political appeal.
It is his firm conviction that the
General would crack the Solid
South.
Twelve dissident Democratic Sen-
ators are said to have met in a pri-
vate restaurant in the capital with
James A. Farley sometime ago. Aft-
er two hours of talk, they are re-
ported to have agreed that only
MacArthur could make an impres-
sion in the South in a contest with
FDR. The South likes a hero.
To practical politicians, Vanden-
berg’s crusade is bound to seem ro-
mantic, foolishly romantic. Mac-
Arthur, say these gentlemen, has
no organization. Many Southern
delegates will vote for him on the
first or the second ballot, but that
will last only until they find who
has the strength. There'll be no one
to hold them then.
Van, too, knows all this. He knows
his man hasn't much’chance if ors
dinary political consideration* dom-
inate the conclave in June. He's
betting that eventually shopworn
politics will go out the window and
the delegates will stampede for the
lonely General in the Pacific.

WASHINGTON, March 7—(P)-
Washington is crawling with lobby-
ists and they get In the hair of
Rep. Adolph Sabath, Chicago Dem-
ocrat, who has plenty of hair at 78.
In his 38 years in congress under
seven presidents, which makes him
dean of the house. Sabath says he
has never seen the lobbyists more
active than now.
What he wants is a curb on them:
Either force them to take out a li-
cense or register so that all men
will know whom and what they rep-
resent.
It isn't likely, however, that he
will do anything about it now be-
cause he says he doesn't want to
offer legislation which would inter-
fere with legislation necessary for
the war.
"Big corporations," says Sabath.
"are spending large sums on- their
lobbies and publicity, on feasts and
entertainment. And the expenses
for all that are deductible from their
taxes.
"It would be interesting to go
through any of the 10 biggest Wash-
ington hotels and find out whom
the lobbyists are entertaining. They
do their entertaining not only with
congressmen but with people em-
ployed in government departments
and bureaus.”
Anti-lobby proposals have been
offered before in congress and state
legislatures and Sabath's ideas are
mild compared with some of those.
In Louisiana, for instance, bills
were introduced in the past to make
lobbyists identify themselves by
wearing a red carnation, a sign
saying "I am a lobbyist,” or a red
suit.
Lobbyists. In case you don't know,
are people. They are paid to influ-
ence other people—such as con-
gressmen—to their way of thinking.
Lobbyists may represent a cor-
poration. institution, organization,
or a labor unlon.
They can lobby in various ways:
Slickly, by entertainment and so-
called sociability; by appearing
frankly before a congressional com-
mittee; or. as a pressure group, by
trying to brow-beat a congressman,
threatening his defeat at next elec-
tion.
Sabath points out what he con-

Because of this feed shortage, the
