Show Portrait of a Man: The namby-pamby treatment accorded ac-corded Japan has become a bone in the throat of peace. Hirohito has become the fair-haired rat; Jap propagandists drool he is solely responsible re-sponsible for making peace, while the American conquerors sit around twiddling their bayonets. That is just another form of discredited appeasement ap-peasement which incited the warl . . . The impression is being created that the Mikado was just an innocent inno-cent bystander. Hell, you would think Killer Hirohito was Lord Fauntleroy. Such horse-radish! . . . On Dec. 7, 1943 (the anniversary of Pearl Harbor), the Jap Emperor Emper-or sent this cable to Hitler: "I express ex-press joy to see our goal realized step by step." Not only is Hirohito being coddled, cod-dled, but the whole Imperial Jap family has been absolved of any war crimes. However, the blood on their filthy paws shows through the whitewash. white-wash. . . . One of the most bestial crimes In history was the rape of Nanking. Prince Asaka was In command com-mand at Nanking when that unspeakable un-speakable atrocity took place. . . . Asaka is the Mikado's brotherl It is a crazy world. The Greeks who were supposed to be liberated got tougher treatment than the Japs who are supposed to be conquered. Japs are being treated as chums. Indicted seditionists continue their pro-Nazi sprees. Nazi war prisoners are coddled. Nothing is being done about the Argentinazis and Spanish fascists who aided our enemies. Our diplomats are leery about punishing punish-ing all war criminals. ... At the same time, isolationists are slinging sling-ing slime at FDR. Our Russian ally is being rapped. Some pollticos oppose op-pose plans to make certain Americans Ameri-cans will have jobs. WHOONELL WON the war? Berlin newsboy Gladwin Hill relayed re-layed this striking contrast between the Soviet's stern realism in Nazi-land Nazi-land and America's hemming and hawing. . . . While the Americans were working out the fine points of a long range program to provide Germans with non-Nazi movies, the Russians blandly authorized German Ger-man movie houses to reopen with the implicit warning to every German Ger-man exhibitor that if he peddled any Nazism he might turn up missing. Using their own cgly hatred instead in-stead of facts, some jack-asstrich rags are attempting to pin the blame for Pearl Harbor on FDR. . . . However, none of them raise their voices about the fact that Gen. MacArthur was caught napping nap-ping at Manila. Almost our entire airforce in the Philippines was destroyed de-stroyed on the ground TEN HOURS AFTER the PH attack. t Some of ns wondered why Cole-paugh Cole-paugh and GimpeL who were deposited de-posited on the Eastern shore by a Nazi submarine, had their death sentences commuted to life in prison. pris-on. .. . The col'm learns that Cole-paugh Cole-paugh (the American) "was of considerable con-siderable help to the U. S." (with information), which is why his sentence sen-tence was commuted. . . . But Gim-pel Gim-pel gave no help whatever and he was spared, too. You've gotta hand it to those terrible ter-rible Russians. When they capture spies they fix it so they never again have toothaches. When Admiral Ilalsey visited the U. S. it was said he came for a rest, which isn't the fact. . . . Halsey was beached for sassing a Big Boy from the Navy Dcp't. . . . This exec had flown to Halsey's ship to probe something that had to do with losing los-ing a ship. It turned out to be short- age of shells, which was not the Admiral's Ad-miral's fault. The blame rested with the supply men in SF and San Diego. ... At any rate, this biggie arrived on Halsey's birthday and as the ship's officers gave Halsey a surprise birthday cake with candles, the Man from Washington Wash-ington put a damper on the party by saying: "A birthday cake? With people starving? You all ought to be ashamed!" ... To which Halsey, whose men love him for his courage cour-age and war record, said: "I'm very sorry, sir, you are -unhappy about us nil having a little cake. Tell me, how's the food been lately at the Stork Club?" . . . When Mr. Dig got back to Washington Halsey was benched. President Truman's warm humility humil-ity has been his most striking characteristic. char-acteristic. Terhaps it Is best Illustrated Illus-trated by his favorite motto: "It's what you lenrn after you know it all that counts." Inelcleiitiilly, when the U. S. Navy broke the Jap naval code (Just before be-fore tho llattle of Midway), what luis never been revealed Is that tho Japs broke jurs. The damage and disunities that resulted In the next 4H hours (before we had n new code) Is something for the historians. his-torians. . . , (Ion. MacArthur among those due for attack, from what source and when 1 don't know now. He will be eh.ur.ed with being one ot the first advocates for n soft pence for Japan (not utility months itgo). |
