W >- Production board plans have for some time now been concentrated on supplying the needs for victory in the Pacific. The fear still •bounds here that the public, both in the United States and Britain, is minimizing the job to be done to win the war against Japan—but the orders placed by the army, navy and marines make it clear that our military leaders have no illusions about a quick or easy victory. There are a lot of unanswered questions about the Japanese war which will determine its length and the extent of fighting which will be necessary to win it. The chief questions are: Will Russia join the Allies against Japan? and. Will the Japanese continue to fight. It may be that President Truman right now knows the answer to the first question, but whether Russia does or does not enter the war the uncertainty makes it necessary for Japan to keep a large proportion of its military might on guard. Thus even the threat of Russia fighting Japan is proving to be of definite help to the Allies. » There are some analysts here who think the Japanese will give up soon—that they already know they are beaten and do not want their nation destroyed as Germany has been de stroyed. But others predict that the Japanese, by refusing to take the offensive on any front, show that they are planning to carry the war on indefinitely in the hope that the war-weary Al lies will finally settle for better terms than unconditional sur render. * * * Rumors persist here that Presi dent Truman will soon make a number of changes in his cabinet. Each time he has an engagement with a possible candidate for a cab inet pest the reports of contemplat- W ftatt up a.'/iin. A major test of how much Presi dent Truman will be involved in politics is expected soon when he will have to decide whether to re appoint David Lilienthal to another nine-year term on the Tennessee Valley authority. Mr. Lilienthal, who has been chairman of the TV A, has conscientiously refused to let any political considerations influ ence the authority’s work. This has disturbed many of the politicians in congress, who have long seen a big opportunity for juicy bits of patronage in the vast undertakings of the TV A. President Truman has not in dicated his intentions as to the reappointment. But since it is agreed that there can be little criticism of Mr. Lilienthal’s work outside of his unwilling ness to play politics, the Pres ident’s action on this appoint ment will be considered a clear test of whether he is apt to use his high office for political ad vancement of his party. . * • • With the nation hoping and pray ing for the success of the San Fran cisco conference, attention has re cently been brought to a speech by Supreme Court Justice Jackson in which he gave practical interpre tation to our aims. Pointing out that the world cannot be remade “by a single document, or a single conference, in a single decade, or even in a single century,” Justice Jackson concluded: “But unless there can be devised instruments of adjustment, adjudi cation and conciliation, so reason able and acceptable to the masses of people that future governments will have always an honorable al ternative to war, all other peace keeping machinery will fail.” It is the clear purpose of the San Francisco conference to devise instruments.

V-E Day was observed quietly in McCormick, everyone seeming deeply . moved with, gratitude. When the official proclamation was made by president Harry S. Truman the siren blew for several minutes and people closed - their places of business and went im mediately to their respective churches. Services of praise and thanksgiving were held and divine guidance and blessing asked for completing the victory over Japan. Schools were dismissed and busi ness houses ^ and offices closed for the day.

But there are several things ffar&Y might serve well to help us kwyi our feet on the ground. First, the war in Japan is not over. Thsre will be long lists of casualties cran ing in before peace comes in that part of the world. Second, we have not yet seen adequate machinery set up for the keeping of the peace.
