Re-Education NOT THE LEAST of the problems brought on by the end of the war-or of two wars-is that of re-education of a defeated nation. Ex- perts have agreed that education is the key- note to those ways of thinking and living, those customs and habits that we call Nazism and Shintoism. Obviously, education then is to be one of the strongest "weapons" of peace, and we must use it democratically, not by imposing a system of learning on the Japanese or Germans but by guiding the nations into dem- oeratic thinking and into a system of educa- tion for freedom and peace. In the summer number of the Michigan Alum- nus Quarterly Review, Frank T. Huntley, Civil Affairs Training Lecturer at the University, dis- cusses this problem as applied to the Japanese who have adopted a view of education that is at the opposite extreme of the American view. Their system of education is based on two seeming virtues, loyalty and filial piety. They appear harmless, but as Huntley points out, loyalty is demanded by the superior and not earned by him. The result is a warped worship of the Emperor, the parent, any superior. ,People have proposed adopting this basis for Japanese reeducation, but Huntley ob- jects, quoting Gen. Sadao Araki, one of a series of military men appointed as ministers to education.' Araki wrote in 1938, "The purpose of a Japanese educational system is to train useful subjects of the Emperor, not so much to search for truth. As a consequence, grad- uates of Japanese schools are Japanese first and then scientists or scholars thereafter." In fact, one of the aims of Japanese education is to correct "dangerous" heresies from the West. Betterment of the minds of the students is an aside. There have been in Japan elements which have objected to this form of education, and Huntley quotes an early leader, Yukichi Fuku- zawa, who said, "I find two points lacking-that is to say, the lack of studies in 'number and reason' in material culture, and the lack of the idea of independence in the spiritual culture. . . . I believe no one can escape the 'laws of number and reason,' nor can anyone depend on anything but the doctrine of independence as long as nations are to exist and mankind to thrive." This Japanese educator saw the dangers in a system of education based on loyalty which "condones any sin, even murder-so long as social code and centralized government impose the mold upon the individual," Huntley writes. Our age has seen the fruition of those dangers- a war which has threatened the survival of man- kind, as Fukazawa foresaw. The task of formulating an education based on the doctrine of independence and redirecting loyalty indoctrinated in a whole people will be great, but inescapable. "It would be a short-sighted policy of mili- tary government which attempted to reopen the closed schools of a defeated Japan on the educational philosophy of the Rescript of 1890," Huntley writes. Let no one think we wish to Americanize Japan or force democracy upon her people. But can we not insist, for the sake of our future, that after we de- feat Japan we allow her an education which will educate for freedom?" -Patricia Cameron By DREW PEARSON WASHINGTON-President, Truman has had off-the-record talks with several Congres- sional friends about Russia's role in the Far East after the war. In these talks Truman has said definitely that he and Stalin were in complete agreement. All Stalin wants in the Far East, Truman has said, is Port Arthur, the famous warm-water harbor at the tip end .of the Liaotung penin- sula, together with the Chinese eastern rail- road and the South Manchurian railroad lead- ing to it. Port Arthur is the harbor which the Czar seized prior to the Russo-Japanese war. It was to take this harbor and the Manchurian railroad leading to it away from the Russians that the Russo-Japanese was was fought in 1904. Now Stalin wants the port and rail line back again. Truman has told friends that he sees no objec- tion to this and that it should settle the whole situation in the Far East if Port Arthur is in Russian hands. Truman has also said that Stalin does not want Korea, which is to be independent, or any part of China. Now It canleTold HERE ARE some of the things that were hushed up while the war was on, but can be written now: There have been three mutinies in the U. S. Army since V-E Day. One took place at Cologne, one at Calais and one in England. The Army so far has refused to give details, though some casualties resulted. During the San Francisco United Nations Conference, the U. S. Navy was so afraid the Japs would launch a. suicide attack off San Francisco, that a special American task force was kept hovering off San Francisco. It was feared the Japs would try to hurt the prestige of the United Nations and of the United States by a surprise attack, even if their planes were not able to get back to Jap carriers. Ad- aiittedly, such an attacksmight have caused about as much damage as the San Francisco earthquake. So the Navy, taking no chances, stationed a special task force several miles out at sea to prowl for any possible Jap invader. General MacArthur has staunchly and con- sistently maintained that the North African campaign never should have taken place. He described it as "absolutely useless" and said that every possible mistake intelligent men could make had been made in this war. SM ullig BigScoop EDITORS of the ultra-conservative New York Herald Tribune could have had one of the big scoops of the year, but let it slip through their fingers. Four days before the August 6 announcement of the atomic bomb, Leo Cullinane, who covers the War and Navy departments for the Herald Tribune had a hunch that it was time to sound cut high military officials on whether the Japs might surrender before an invasion was neces- sary. To his amazement, the brass hats predicted there would be no invasion, stating that new and more powerful weapons would soon be unleashed against groggy Japan. These, plus the B-29 raids, nlus the hammering blows of the Navy's 3rd Fleet, would cause Japan to sue for peace. One admiral even said proph- etically: "The war is over." New York Herald Tribune editors were told in confidence the names of the admirals and generals who made this prediction, but even so, they simply would not believe the war was anywhere near ended and Cullinane's big story went in the wastebasket. The embarrassed edit- ors didn't even have a chance to forget it before the events which they could have been first to predict, began to take place. Now, they'll never forget it. Marshall Flays Congress CHIEF OF STAFF, Gen. George C. Marshall has always prided himself on being able to get along wit Congress. But just before the end of the war, his stock slipped noticeably. One contributor to that slip was a secret meet- ing he had with friendly "moulders-of-public opinion' 'at which he lashed out at Congress for wanting to reduce the size of the Army. The meeting was held just one day after the first atomic bomb was dropped on- Japan and one day before Russia declared war. General Mashall knew in advance that the Russians were going to declare war, and he also knew the general potentialities of the atomic bomb. Nevertheless, he staged a secret "prop- aganda" conference to put across to the public the idea that the Army could hardly spare a single man and that Congress was doing the country a grave injustice by even talking about more discharges. Marshall said that the point score for releas- ing men would remain "as is," and gave as one reason the fact that General MacArthur was unalterably opposed to lowering it. MacArthur has expressed himself very forcibly on this point, Marshall said. The Chief of Staff took a particular slap at Secretary of the Interior Ickes for wanting the Army to discharge coal miners. (Ickes has especjally urged that miners with 86 points, the number necessary for discharge, be dis- charged immediately.) Marshall said he was going to discharge men for the railroads, since the Army was vitally dependent on rail trans- portation, but maintained it would "crack morale wide open" if men were let out for mining or agriculture, t Marshall also read some figures for the deploy- ment of troops, which included the total of 550,000 for occupational forces chiefly in Ger- many; 1,181,000 men in schools and training centers in the U.S.A.; 1,157,000 to operate the supply services, ports and hospitals in the United States, 330,000 actually in American hospitals, and nearly 4,000,000 men in the Pacific. Then he said very sternly: "If I know war, the figures are right." Naturally news of this blast at Congress immediately leaked to Capitol Hill where it caused plenty of comment. Chief comment was that this conference was just as far off base as the press conference Marshall held when Germany attacked Russia. At that time, General Marshall gave Hitler just three weeks to take Moscow. And exactly one week after Marshall said the army could not be reduced, Japan surrendered. tCopyright, 1945, by the Bell Syndicate, Inc.) f -r Jionilnie Says WE MAY BE witnessing in China that conflict between religion and revolt which Jacques Martain describes in Christianity and Recon- struction. He says "We saw for a century the motivating forces in the modern democracies repudiating Christianity in the name of human liberty, while motivating forces in the Chris- tian strata were combating the democratic as- piration in the name of religion." He refers to the Soviet Revolution as an illustration. He points out that the spirit of revolt, though aiming at human freedom of a social type, usually has to endure the ill will of that Chris- tian community which is aiming at human re- lease of a personal type. In China the Com- munists, so called, are in revolt against Confu- cianism, against landed aristocracies, against pyramided wealth, against absentee dominance, against diplomatic alliance with the foreigner and against an antiquated agriculture. These goals are shared by Generalissimo Chiang Kai Shek and the Nationalist Govern- ment. They are identical with the goals of Sun Yat Sen. But Chiang, a soldier rather than a political leader, insists that one inter- pretation of Sun Yat Sen, one theory of life, one party, one government alone must be recognized as the means. The surrendering Japanese on the China soil have been invited by Chiang to resist the Cooperative Under- ground followers of Sun Yat Sen. The Japanese invaders in so refusing to surrender to Com- munist Chinese have put Generalissimo Chiang in the position of appearing to fight Chinese soldiers with the aid of Japanese forces. This is the principle observed by Jacques Maritain, reduced to absurdity. The key to understanding the situation would seem to lie in the difference between being good personally and being efficient socially. Theo- retically, these two are one and the same thing. But in the modern state, in England, in France, in Spain, in America, and now in Russia and China, they appear different. To be good per- sonally demands that acceptance of the estab- lished social and economic systems including fallacious presuppositions and casual errors which those who understand the ways of social effiency must repudiate. Now, to be efficient socially, the Chinese must revise the agriculture, the family customs, the methods of banking and exchange, the industrial order, the methods of transportation, the land distribution, the meth- ods of selecting government officials, and the relation to foreign countries. How can the Allies remain out of China and yet help the Chi- nese toward a solution? Within the western Democracies we have the same contradictions. He is personally good in the eyes of our culture who refrains from changes in the social order and is personally bad who insists upon reforms looking toward welfare of the common man under his own steam and by his own will. On the other hand, in our dem- ocracies, every labor union, labor party, new deal government, or political group definitely demanding an alteration of the evils which keep the civilization unstable, make the day laborer insecure, render the purchasing power uncer4 tain, and cause inflation or deflation today and war tomorrow is attacked by the Christian world as impious, irreverent, and dangerous. He is accused by the in group, the majority and the religious of being deluded by satanic forces. Hence, says this rare Catholic philosopher: "The meaning of the present war, therefore, is not only to put an end to fascism, racism, and militarism but is decidedly to undertake the slow and difficult construction of a world where fear and wretchedness will no longer press down upon individuals and. nations;- where blindly demanding Nationalism will. give way to an organized international com- munity; where the oppression and the ex- ploitation of man will be abolished and where everyone will be able to share in the common heritage of civilization and to live a truly human life." -Edward W. Blakeman Councilor in Religious Education nia Club will hold its next meeting on Tuesday, August 21st at the Interna- tional Center, at 7 :30 EWT. Plans for a picnic will be discussed at that time.

Student Football Tickets to the Great Lakes, Indiana and Northwest- ern Football Ganes: Civilian students enrolled in the 1945 Sumer Term who are entitled to student admis- BOTH SIDES By Irv Stahl r HE Blue Note label features some gall of the Blues." The first side His Chicagoans' waxing of "Shoe Shiner's Rag" and "Doctor Jazz." The former side is strictly dixieland (but good), with spirited ensemble work and a "cut (outplay) the next guy" drive which pushes the musi- cians to their utmost, especially Max Kaminsky on trumpet. "Doctor Jazz" is taken at a faster tempo and features the heavy though tasty pi- ano of Hodes, the "blue", lower reg- ister clarinet work of Rod Cless - reminiscent of Fazola with the Bob- cats - and the gutty, pushing trom- bone of Ray Conniff. Sidney DeParis and His Blue Note Jazzmen come up with "Ev- erybody Loves My Baby" and "The Coll of the Blues." The first side is somewhat spoiled by the over- loud trumpet work of leader De- Paris who tries too hard and suc- ceeds in producing only discon- nected, wild, upper register phras- es. But on the other side of the record, "Call of the Blues," De- Paris leads off with a delicate, muted trumpet chorus and is fol- lowed by a succesion of restrained, moody, feeling solos by the other jazzmen, all played against a stim- ulating, improvised background. The mood is set and kept right through the exciting, DeParis-led final chorus. Edmond Hall's group on Blue Note contributes "Royal Garden Blues" and "Night Shift Blues." The for- mer side contains some of the most knocked-out improvising in this Blue Note batch -- a trombone solo by Vic Dickerson, superbly combining "guts", ideas, and technique. De- Paris (also on this record date) again comes through to lead the ensemble in the final chorus. After a "blue" guitar solo opens "Night Shift Blues" DeParis and Dickerson battle back and forth through several choruses, and again DeParis' versatility, wealth of ideas, and ease of blowing are ex- hibited. Hall plays some clear, clean relaxed lower register clarinet work which readily proves why he is con- sidered one of the finest clarinetists in the business. If any jazz enthusiasts have not yet investigated the "Bix" myth, they will do well to hear his "I'm Comin' Virginia" in Columbia's "Hot Trumpets" album. Recorded in 1927, the disc displays Beider- becke's intense improvisation and fluid playing, and shows why crit- ics insist that this jazz immortal was playing music almost 20 years ahead of his time. No less inter- esting in this album is "Red" Al- len's recording of "Body and Soul", an enthusiastic exhibition of double-timed, driving, unrestrained trumpet-playing. desiring their tickets in one block, should present their Physical Educa- tion coupons together.
