Prisoners of War
The house military affairs committee, re-
leasing the results of an investigation into
treatment of prisoners of war, finds that in
general Germany and Japan are observing
the Geneva Convention and that the U. S. is
not “coddling" the war prisoners .held in its
camps.
Darkest spot in the situation is that Japan
has never permitted any neutral observer to
visit prisoner of war camps outside Japan
proper, Manchuria and Formosa. It found
from reliable reports that Jap treatment of
its prisoners "becomes less good the farther
the camps are removed from Japan proper.”
“In general,” says the report, “the German
’ government has endeavored to accord Ameri-
can prisoners of war the standards of treat-
ment prescribed by the Geneva prisoners of
war convention."
But whereas the U. S. feeds German pris-
oners the same rations given American troops
: in camps in this country, the Germans give
our men civilian instead of army rations. It
is no secret that the Wehrmacht eats much
better than the German civilian population.
There is also a volume of published testimony
that but for the Red Cross packages they re-
ceive, American prisoners in German camps
■ would be very bad off indeed.
Only the retaking of the Philippines will
reveal the full extent of the mistreatment of
American prisoners by the Japanese there.
One of the 83 Americans rescued after the
sinking of a Jap transport last September—
, a man of medium size—said he regained 50
pounds in the first few weeks after being
hospitalized in Australia. Officers and men
alike had been forced to do hard manual la-
bor on the skimpiest of diets.
There is not the slightest doubt that axis
prisoners in our hands live far better than
American prisoners in axis hands. The com-
mittee insists, however, that there is no cod-
dling—we are simply living up to the full
letter of the Geneva Convention. This is just
one other item to remember when we hear
; talk of a soft peace.
* Long Rood Ahead
Tokyo's first night air raid was carried out
Wednesday in the light of the full moon, by
j a force of Superforts described as medium,
i It was the third raid on the Japanese capital
since the Marianas bases began to function.
Experience in Germany, and German ex-
perience in Britain, indicate that such raids
alone cannot reduce Japan's war-making
powers to any decisive extent It will take
! more bombs and more bombers and many
We have every reason to rejoice that our
bombers are at last probing the very vitals
of industrial Japan, but we should realize the
difficulties under which they operate, and
not expect too much in the way of results
right off.
It is going to be a long, hard pull—just as
reconquest of the Philippines will be a long,
hard and costly business.
And we must remember that when the
war in Europe is brought to a successful close,
we still have to crush Japan.
We are justified in our optimism only in
the assurance that victory lies ahead. We
are not justified in being optimistic about an
early end to the war, even in Europe, much
less in Asia.
American casualties have passed the half-
million mark. That fact alone should curb
any over-optimism we might feel inclined to
entertain.
Justice Must Be Served
The Tichborne Claimant is the title of one
of the most celebrated trials in English his-
tory, involving claims upon the Tichborne
estate by an imposter. The trial to dispose of
the claimant’s case lasted over 100 days, and
the subsequent trial of the claimant on a
charge of perjury lasted 188 days. He lost,
both cases, incidentally.
Trial of 27 defendants charged with con-
spiracy to disaffect men in the armed forces
of the U. S. government and to set up a Nazi
form of government in this country had pro-
ceeded in the city of Washington from April
17 this year to Wednesday night of this week,
when it was brought to an abrupt halt by the
death of the presiding Judge Eicher. Legal
opinion was that the presiding judge's death
would force a new start from scratch.
This has been one of the most extraordi-

nary trials in American history, and to the
average newspaper reader who has followed __
the goings-on it seems that American justice ... ,
has lost much in dignity and decorum. The Washington Calling-
conduct of defendants and their attorneys
brought more than $1,200 in fines for con-
tempt of court, and the wordage totaled 3,-
500,000.
Judge Eicher was an extraordinarily pa-
tient man, which may account for the long-
drawn-out course of the trial. The courtroom
often resembled a third-rate vaudeville
STETTINIUS IS UNCONVENTIONAL
(This Is the first of two
stories on the fight to change
the constitution and give the

By JAMES MARLOW
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1—(P)
-The fight on the senate’s ex-
clusive treaty-settling power is
under way. It may get some
place. Probably not. Not now.
Maybe later. Years later. This
is the story.
Under the constitution only
the senate—which has M mem-
bers—can approve treaties with
foreign nations. The house of
representatives—with 435 mem-
bers—can take no part in
treaty-making.
But approval of a treaty
needs a "yes" vote from two-
thirds of the senators present
st voting time. Thus one-third
of the senators, plus one, could
wreck a treaty.
The fight now is to change
the constitution so that treaty-
making could be done by house
and senate and with only a
majority vote in both places
needed.
• • •
So far the proposed amend-
ment has been okayed by a
house subcommittee. Now it la
before the house judiciary com-
j mittee. Undoubtedly it will be
, approved here. From there it
will be laid before the whole
house.
But—since this is a proposal
to amend the constitution—
two-thirds of the house mem-
bers will have to approve. It
seems pretty sure this will hap-
pen.
But then the proposal has to
go to the senate. And there-
where a two-thirds vote is need-
ed to approve a treaty—a two-
thirds vote would be needed to
approve the proposed amend-

force a change.

WASHINGTON- As chairman
of the American delegation to
the Dumbarton Oaks confer-
house, as defendants and their attorneys
staged riotous stunts.
If the trial is revived, the country hopes
the presiding judge will be some hard-boiled
individual able to hold his own with the odd
assortment of characters who made the trial
under Eicher seem like a farce at times.
The defendants are entitled to justice,
but the course of justice is entitled to respect
and decorum. With experience gained in the
aborted first trial, the second should be com-
pleted in a few weeks and the jury’s verdict
rendered—whatever it is. 1

tinius, Jr., took the foreign
delegations to New York as his
personal guest on what he
promised them would be a typi-
cal New York weekend.
All had a gay tune at theaters
and night clubs—particularly
the Russians, for whom the lav-
ish, luxury side of New York
was s startling revelation. The
party visited the Radio City
music hall and, as distinguished
guests, they were taken back-
stage.
Suddenly, as they confronted
the famed Rockettes, Stettinius
turned to the rather solemn
chairman of the British delega-
tion. Sir Alexander Cadogan,
permanent undersecretary of
the British office, and said:
"Now, Alex, why don’t you tell
these girls something about
what we’re trying to do at Dum-
barton Oaks."
So Sir Alexander Cadogan
found himself addressing the
Rockettes on foreign policy It
was some sort of new record in
diplomacy, and is. fairly typi-
cal of the unconventional way
in which the new secretary ap-
proaches his job.
He is full of youthful enthu- *
siam, a desire to make good, to
bring things up to date, make
them modern and current
Sometimes it carries him too
far, as at Dumbarton Oaks,
where the setting was so im-
pressive that it tended to mag-
nify the importance of the con-
ference beyond what it deserve
ed. As the British kept repeat-
ing. it was explanatory and ten-
tative.
GOT ALONG WITH HULL
Since his appointment as un-
der necretary in 1943, he has
been sbie to exercise his talents
for modernisation and improve-
ment in only the most limited
way. As under-secretary, he has
been able to speed up certain
routines. Some cloying red tape
has been shared away. But
these changes do not go far.
When he was appointed un-
der-secretary, the president put
one injunction on him That
was to get along with Secretary
Hull Sumner Welles had just
"resigned" under the most un-
pleasant circumstances alter a
long feud with Hull that had
been fanned by jealous parti-
sans in the state department.
: Stettinius followed that in-
junction Stories of a rift be-
tween the secretary and the un-
der-secretary were false His
loyalty, however, necessitated
his moving with the utmost cau-
tion. Initiative was restricted to
those mince matters in which
Hull had no interest
As secretary, Stettinius , has
„an opportunity to bring the de-
partment and the foreign serv-
lee up to date-to make It a
modern instrument for world or-
der and understanding Sold ac-
tion la required, and the imme-
diate question is how much lee-
way the president will allow the
new man in the office.
* % %
WILL HAVE CHANCE----
But even if the president does
continue to make his own for-
eign policy, as he undoubtedly
will, Stettinius will still have a
chance to show what he can do.
His standing with congress is
good, and he should be able to
get approval for a greatly ex-
panded foreign service which
would provide, for one thing,
adequate compensation for our
chiefs of mission abroad. Be-
cause they have been so shame-
fully under-paid in the past,
only rich men have been elig-
ible to ambassadorial appoint-
ments.
Congressional friends of war
mobilizer James F Byrnes are
deeply disappointed, especially
since thia comes on top of the
shabby treatment Byrnes re-
ceived at the Democratic con-
vention in Chicago. But Byrnes
would have had to pick up the
threads of a complicated office,
which takes time. Stettinius has
the advantage of nearly 15
months in the job, much of
that period as acting secretary.
That to little enough. While
his experience as lend-lease ad-
ministrator will help, too, Stet-
tinius to certain to find him-
self handicapped by lack of
background He will have to
try to make up for it by his
earnest enthusiasm and his
good will.

Cigaret Mysteries--
INFORMATION IS HARD TO GATHER
By S. BURTON' HEATH
NEA Staff Correspondent
One Washington newspaper-
man became so exasperated
about the Great Cigaret Mystery
that he made 121 telephone
calls, mostly to government
agencies, in an attempt to get
the real facts.
rm going to dwell today on
what he was told about exports,
largely to service men, because
this illustrates why it seems
impossible to find out what is
happening
During July, August and Sep-
tember, this inquisitive reporter
was told, the Army shipped
overseas 609,435,600 packs of
cigarets. The Red Cross bought
55,331,000 packs for kit bags,
service men overseas, service
patients in hospitals on both
sides, and prisoners of war
Multiply each of these by four
and it would appear that the
Army and the Red Cross to-
gether are using 2,659,066,400
packs this year, mostly but not
exclusively overseas.
The Navy estimated a round
figure of 800,000,000 packs for Ms
personnel outside the United
states, ll
Add these together, and you
don’t need the Einstein theory,
er even integral calculus to fig-
ure that about 3,459,066,400
packs are being taken off the
civilian market tihs year for the
use of soldiers, sailors, Marines,
WAC. Waves, Spars, nurses. See-
bees, officers end gentlemen A.
unfform.■
This would give each service
man and woman 38 cigarets •
day, the year around, if there
are five millions among whom
to divide them It la doubtful
if the average G I. smokes that
many, or gets them to smoke
PROBABLY THERE'S A
BACKLOG IN TRANSIT %
But it should be remembered
thst thees smokes have to travel
long sea lanes in competition
with other essential supplies
and materiel, and then go
through a complicated distribu-
tion routine, so that there prob-
ably is a huge backlog in transit
and in process of distribution at
all times.
(Editor’s Note: You're going
great, Mr. Heath, but dispatches
from Paris say there aren't any
American cigarets to Europe,
either)
In addition to these service
supplies for Americans, lend-
lease sent 180.000,000 packs over-
seas for British fighting men
through Sept. 30. This to at the
rate of 20 millions a month or
Mb millions for the year. And
our persevering reporter assum-
ed, in the absence of contrary
evidence, that exports for caah,
to friendly nations, will be the
same this year as last year's
133.518,600 packs.
Now add everything—ship-
ments to our own service people,
to Britain under lend-lease, to
foreign purchasers for cash The
drain on manufacturers' output
would appear to total 3,832,-
585,000 packs this year.
But the Office of War Infor-
mation on the basis of date
from the War Foods Adminis-
tration ■ tobacco breach and the
Bureau of Internal Revenue
says that 4.590,000,000 packs will
go abroad thia year.
That to 757,415,000 more than
the inquiring reporter cen ac-
count for. Where are they go-
ing? Who knows?
IT SEEMS A FEW PACKS
ARE MISSING
Now, probably you’ve been
told that more than one-third
of our cigarets are going over-
seas. OWI to one authority for
that statement. OWI says that
on the beats of the first seven
months' experience, about 16,-*
450,000,000 pecks will be produc-
ed in 1944 and about 4,590,000,000
of them will be tax-free for
overseas shipment
“These tax-free cigarets,” says
OWI, "would represent a per-
centage in excess of one-third
of our total cigaret withdrawals
for 1944."
Teaching methods have chang-
ed since I was in grade school.
So, apparently, has arithmetic
When I divide 4.59 billions by
16.45 billions, in my simple way,
I get slightly under 28 percent.
And if I remember what teach-
er taught me it takes more than
33 percent to equal one-third,
and still more to be in excess
of one-third ■
Individually these discrepan-
cies may not be particularly im-
portant But taking my word
that I could point out similar
ones in connection with almost
any aspect of the cigaret mys-
tery. does this give you some
idea why reporters can't tell you
the convincing truth sbout why
you cant get cigarets?

special piece of pie—their ex-
clusive treaty powers.
If they block the move now,

But if senate and house both
approved, the proposal would
have to go to the states fora
their okay before the const-
tution actually was amended.
Three-fourths of the state
legislatures—or state constitut-
ional conventions specially call-
ed for this measure—would
have to approve. . @
The states could act on this
next year. Legislatures of 44
of the 48 states are masting

But Senator George (D-Ga)
has predicted thst the senate
would stand firmly agains D
sharing its treaty-making pow-
ers with the house.
He said: "I do not believe
that the American people, on
sober second thought, will con-
aider that anything justifies
such a drastic change in our
government.
“Many drastic things might
be done with the approval of a
bare majority—things that we
might regret later.”
But the house members ares
not the only ones seeking the
change. The proposal has gain-
ed widespread support around
the country.
The New York Times-in
commenting upon Senator
George's statement - points
out that the only way to find
out what the people think to
to submit the problem to them
in the form of the proposed

This idea could be carried
further: W
If the senate refuses to ap-
prove the proposal—the neces-
sary step before it is submitted
to the people-then the senate
is preventing the people from
expressing their will. •

giving the senate exclusive
treaty power was drawn up 150
years ago.
And a lot of things have hap-
pened to treaty-making since

Austin, known to his press

Infantry division on D-Day and
since has covered the advance
of the American First army
through France, Belgium and
into Germany.
I asked him what he though®
of Americans in action. Here
is his answer:
"I saw American soldiers watt-
ing in Piccadilly circus in Lon-
don and thought: These men
are not soldiers' I didn't admire
their appearance or their bear
ing.
"I landed in Normandy on
D-Day with them and, within a

opinion completely. Infantry-
men advancing in the face of
murderous enemy fire were do-U
ing all that could be asked.
"So great was the volume of
fire that many men must have

and kept advancing That, to
