Show WASHINGTON HIOM OUR CONGRESSMAN W. K. GRANGER Japan' Doom Sealed The Declaration of Cairo is a fjc;n statement which precludes any ;cc:nim conrernlng tlie complete m cement of the Big Four AJIjed Nations. .Singularly Breaking, it is a com. mjtment to completely destroy the prcent Jaaiiftse Empire, When the ter ns of this agreement have bepn put Into effect. Japan will be completely com-pletely destroyed as a powerful nation na-tion who has for the past half a century conquered and plundered the helpless, By these terms Japan must, be driven from China, Man-chuMa, Man-chuMa, Formosa and all the Islands of the Pacific. Including Korea, and siK h loss will materially rodure hollo hol-lo r.n Ineffective nation without the iiatur.il resources with which sh could ever naalu word war,1 It must b remembered that al-' though Stalin was not at th con-1 fer-nce to sign this pact, yet at the.' :erent Moscow Conference he - Tird to recognise China nnd her' interests, which explains the con-1 fiilence of Churchill and Roosevelt1 m announcing these terms since! Ihey know tiesR dlc.'sjons will meet' i'.ii the approval of Stalin. And so1 the importance qf he Moscow pqn. feience takes on new degrees of Importance and satisfaction. Thera Is no greater pntof to be fqund qf the solid and complete understand-ing understand-ing which exists between tin. fl)Ur Jieat powers. With the liquidation of the Jap. anise Empire It Is certain thut Russia Rus-sia will continue its policy of friendly friend-ly relations with China. For Russia Rus-sia has adhered to this policy of friendship with China for the past 20 years, and even when it was threatened by the German-Japanese combination, it refused to appease Japan at the expense of China. And It lo well for Russia to continue to foMow this policy for the sake of its own national interests, since a fcV.isfled China and the exclusion of Japan from the mainland are her , b?st guarantees of peace on her own borders. In fact, the destruction of I he powerful Japanese maritime empire will be Russia's assurance1 of free access to the sea, which she lies so long desired. j Thus we find food for our hopes ti'tit this will be the last great war for at least some generations to (one. since there Is every Indication Indica-tion that the coming order of things is set and Ls being welded together very smoothly but firmly. There Ls now every right to hope that a. lO'ind this nucleus of mutual ln-'erest ln-'erest and reliability, will gather rit her nations, until gradually but .-in tly the world ls organized, notj l;y panrr charters but in fact, for 1:3 own security. |
