Her armies had been sadly beaten, her vaunted navy destroyed and her great cities and industries leveled by enemy bombs. Few nations in history have been more severely punished for their transgressions. The American occupation of Japan "might have been vengeful for many Americans lost their lives after Pearl Harbor. Instead the occupation was conducted with an eye toward rehabilitating the people, toward preparing them to take -their place in the community of nations. Japan renounced war so completely that it has been difficult to persuade them to rebuild their military forces for the defense of their homeland. Premier Yoshida Shigeru recently came out in favor of rearming and it begins to look as If the Japanese people may prepars to defend themselves should that ever prove necessary.

Vets, AMA Square Off By DOUGLAS LARSEN NEA Washington Correspondent Should Uncle Sam' WASHINGTON (NEA) give free Hospital service to veterans for ailments which had nothing to do with their military ser- vice? That question has now developed into a major issue between the American Medical Association and the big veterans' organizations. It's sure to be dumped in the lap of Congress during the next session. Unfortunately, for public understanding of the issue, it's very complex, and it lends itself to emotional arguments on both sides. The whole problem, which has been getting hotter for the past three years, broke into flame a few weeks ago when the AMA flatly announced that its No. 1 federal legislative goal for the coming year was getting the law changed' to end treatment of veterans with nortservice-connecte- d ills. AMA President Dr. Edward J. McCormick states his stand: "There are persons who would make of war veterans a class of citizens apart from the rest of the nation. The campaign to perpetuate free medical care in government hospitals for veterans with nonservice-connecte- d disabilities is a prime example of this misguided thinking." Now tite Lecon Says: A spokesman from the American Legion says this in defense of giving vets hospital care regardless of service connection: "The law provides for this care of veterans and we don't think it should be changed. When a veteran is broke, sick and hat no place to go, we think it's Uncle Sam's duty to a man who has served his country to provide him medical care under the present provisions of the federal statutes." One of the difficulties in this dispute is the lack of any positive statistics on just how much is spent by Uncle Sam on treatment of nonservice-connecte- d cases and exactly how many patients in the two categories there are in Veterans' Administration hospitals. Tht latest set of figures is the VA bed popu- i . The crisis resulting Jrom the dicator's death has also emboldened Europeans, especially in Germany and England. The.

When one of these complicated missives arrives, the State Department presumably hands the thing to . its division. Hours, days, or weeks later, the division comes up with an answer, usually to the effect that the message has no meaning at air or is evasive and unsatisfactory. Very likely, at this stage, the only real Soviet purpose is to keep the issue alive in Europ for its value in splitting us off from our Western allies. Mjany European' leaders are clamoring for a four-powmeeting, and the Russians are shrewd enough to fan the flames regularly. They also seem clever enough to word their successive proposals in a manner rendering them continuously unacceptable.

First of all, as planned - . , - - ference and possible talks wub Russia on European causes of tension. It is generally felt that the ' eight - year - old conflict lias entered a second and entirely new' phase. It is, in, fact, following the" pat tern which the President has fre quently outlined to his diplomatic and military advisers. Cautioning them - against excessive optimism or pessimism in reaction to periodical developments, he constantly points out that-'th- e present stale mate resembles the operations in actual warfare. There are advances .and. re treats, successes! and defeats, in the grim maneuvering of dipo- - Under the newest plan, food, clothing, medi- calupphes and some other essentials would be exempted. And these make up the bulk of purchases 1n the lower brackets. The experts believe such a tax actually would hit middle income groups most severely. Secondly, the federal government today get3 just 16 per cent of its revenues fiom indirect taxes, mostly sales levies in one form or another. It obtains 84 per cent from incomes on persons and corporations. Yet, in Britain, which many of us like to. think is strongly ' shot thruogh with socialism, income taxes account for only 56 per cent of government .revenues. The indirect taxes again, mostly on sales at some stage bring in 44 per cent of Brit' ish funds. So, America," the proud home of capital ism, soaks the rich far more than does Britain. It is just possible, in the view of President Eisenhower felt it necessary recently to allay the fears of his fellow Republicans that they might have to carry the millsiefie of a national sales tax with .them when they gro to the polls for j next year. There will be no retail sales tax, he wtys, although he did not close the door on of a general manufacturer's tax a levy which almost surely is passed on to consumers in the form of higher prices. It has one great political advantage; it is hidden from the ultimate buyer's view. In all likelihood, even if 'the administration had chosen to sponsor a general sales tax. it would never have made the grade s in Congress.
