Johnson, D., Colo., warning that no "mumble-jumble answer" would do, asked Secretary Secre-tary of War Henry L. Stimson tonight to-night to review the army's tnan- power " requirements and to be brutally frank" with congress tnd the country. In' a letter to the secretary, Johnson termed "most disheartening" dishearten-ing" Stimson 's news conference insistence this week that an army of 7,000,000 was needed. "Your decision -means millions of bitter, discontented men. mill - JlacArthur must have the strong-est strong-est army that America could give him. But. he said, "discontented American soldiers marking time or this continent are not going to help MacArthur or hurt the. Japs." Meanwhile, Johnson's desk, was littered with telegrams and, letters let-ters from servicemen and civilians lauding his criticism of the army.' One letter from a Pacific soldier, t he said, charged that an island theater commander vas requiring us points ior aucnirje tno re- 4K-. 17 is rising even so much as a furlough , uniform during the next 18 months," Johnson wrote. "It means a transportation crisis. It means a serious manpower man-power shortage in vital industries. It means that reconversion isi stymied. It means . . . mass demobilization de-mobilization at the very moment when unemployment in the United ' States is at its peak." Johnson, who denounced the army's discharge system in a senate sen-ate speech this week, told Stimson Stim-son hat "under your revolving ' plan, fully 50 per cent o the men now in the south Pacific are overdue over-due for replacement.' He insisted that even if the army shipped 4,000 men a day until Jan. 1, 1847, it could put only 2,000,000 new men on the Japanese Japa-nese front. Attrition from all sources, he added, would take away about 700,000 in that time, so "that by the first of 1947 the army could have only 2,000,000 soldiers on that front, including troops there now. "What is wrong with these figures?" fig-ures?" Johnson asked. "Are they not in truth optimistic? No 'mumble-jumble' answer will do this! time.

Japan was prompt, to find material for very necessary mor ale-building propaganda on the home front. The chief of these major world problems still remaining are: 1. The fixing of" Germany's western boundaries to meet the territorial demands of France, Belgium and Holland. Above all the Big Three must decide what is to become of the Ruhr and the Saar. 2. The transfer of millions of population so as to eliminate those delicate but war-provoking problems of minorities; mass migration mi-gration was mentioned only casually casu-ally in the communique. 3. The future of Austria. It has been promised independence and undoubtedly will be removed from Hitler's greater Reich, but the Renner government in Vienna has never been recognized by any foreign power despite Russia's willingness to consider it as a safe defacto government. 4. The future of Greece, although al-though that problem appears to be on its way toward swift solution solu-tion by new difficulties of the Voulgaris cabinet which came closely upon the fall of the Churchill Chur-chill cabinet in England and the advent of the labor government. 5. The Palestine problem with which is closely related the problem prob-lem of about four million "stateT less'' and penniless Jews in Germany, Ger-many, Austria, Rumania and scattered scat-tered through many holding camps in Europe. 6. The Dardanelles, Suez canal and Tangier. Russia wants a warm water outlet and wants it secure, which prompted the demand on Turkey for the right to build Russian defenses on the Dardanelles Dardan-elles Straits. The communique does not indicate any discussion of those problems. 7. Disposal of Italy's vast colonial colo-nial empire parts of which are claimed by Ethiopia, Egypt and Turkey, while France and Britain have eyes on disputed strips ad joining their African possessions. 8. The creation of even a tentative ten-tative German government or the necessary preliminary of consult- tion which was occupied militar ily in 1943 to assure a safe corridor corri-dor for supplies reaching Russia. 10. The feeding of Europe this winter. This is harvest time in Europe but there still is no concerted con-certed plan for pooling the food resources of the continent for their fair distribution, their: storage, stor-age, their transport across a continent con-tinent where railways are only 20 per cent of normal. SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 4 0J.R) Japan conceded that the Pacific Pa-cific war may have been discussed disc-ussed at the Potsdam conference. "We must not draw a hasty conclusion in believing that there was no discussion whatsoever on the east Asia question at Potsdam," Pots-dam," the Japanese Domei agency said in a dispatch reported by the FCC. "Instead." Domel said," We must remember the joint declaration declar-ation made in Potsdam by Britain America and China, demanding that Japan surrender." m v i a a m ' . .- -X ' J$- "- line Will K Atrv '-. - J J-f J I?
