Realism and I he Japs
fPHINKING people are likely to Ik> virtually unanimous in
their agreement that, if the end of the war in the
Pacific is to mark the Iteyinniify of an enduring era of
peace, the allies—and Americans most of all—must he
completely realistic in their attitude toward Japan.
They must face the fact that not once through all the
surrender negotiations was there any expression or any
action of any kind from any responsible Japanese source
—from the emperor on down—which suggests that the
Japs might i** experiencing anything akin to re|*entance
for their crimes against humanity and civilization.
If they are sorry at all—and doubtless they are—it
is not because of what they were attempting when they
struck af Pearl Harbor nearly four years ago. Their
regrets are not because of what they tried to do, hut solely
because they failed in their attempts.

rpilK Japanese war leadership Is just as treacherous today
as it ever was at any previous time. It is fully as1
arrogant, as demonstrated in the various grandiloquent,
pnmimu.s expressions that have come from Hirohito. It
is just as ambitious, just as fanatical as it ever was.
The most elementary logic compels the belief that,
given the opportunity and their own conviction of a rea-
sonable chance of success, they would embark once more
tomorrow on another war of aggression and enslavement.
A realistic view of the enemy demands full recognition
of the fact that, even in defeat, Jn|utn still is |s>tentiully
a very powerful nation. Manisiwer losses have been neg-
ligible. Indeed, it is probable that the |M>pulation of the
home islands left to Japan is larger today than it was four
years ago. That vneaus something like 70.000,000 people

JAPANESE DIPLOMACY
IF diplomacy is the art of deceit,
as the Machiavellians teach,
then the Japanese have indeed
proved themselves to be master
diplomats. Theirs was the kind
of diplomary which Hitler also
used with sueh startling success
before and even after the out-
break of the war. Its principles
are simple. They can be sum-
marized as follows:
1. State your aims frankly and
boldly, but in terms of a world- |
embracing ideology which other
nations will dismiss as fantastic

TIOLLYWOOD, Aug. 20- (U.fi) —
•** Starlet Karolyn Grimes, who
made her screen debut when she
was Just 6 months old, has some
pretty grown-up Ideas for a 5-
year-old.
‘‘I'm going to be a great ac-
tress,” she announced. ‘ I'm learn-
ing to play the piano and violin
and some day I'll learn how to
kiss.'*
Karolyn Ls taking lessons— In
the first two subjects only—at the
Boyd School of Actors.
The last thing mast stars want
In their movies is a child actor, but
Fred MacMurray and producer-
director Leslie Fenton actually
wrote a part for Karolyn into Mu-
tual Productions, ‘Pardon My
Past."
Kid stars are a lot of trouble.
They can work only a few hours a
day. They have to be under the
rare of a school teacher Vll the
time. Their lines and wardrobes
have to get special attention. They
need lots of rest.
It all adds up to bother, and In
the end the kids get the oohs and
ahs while the star stands In the
background looking dramatic, and
I frustrated.
But a moppet always seems to
jhelp a picture.” MacMurray ex-
I plained "I've worked with lots of
I them. Ltttle Caroline Lee was a
j doll, until she got too big and had
to retire. Karolyn Orimes will be
six or seven before long and she’ll
have to retire, too Sounds like a
double-talk gag, doesn't It?”
Karolyn, who was bofn in Hol-
lywood, is the first member of her
family to go In for acting. Her
parents taught school In Kansas
City, Mo.
The tiny actress leads a normal
life off the screen. She plays with
the neighborhood kids and tends
her own small garden. Her mother
makes all her clothes
Karolyn Ls an ardent movie fan
already. She collects fan pictures
and sees as many movies as are
good for a five-year-old.
‘‘I like Bob Hope and Bing Cros-
by—and,” with an arch glance at
MacMurray and Fenton, "most of
all, Fred MacMurray and Leslie
Fenton," she said.
Karolyn learned fast which side
of her bread the butter was on.

the suspicions that have risen
against her, and to wait, mean-
while strengthening the founda-

tunity which must one day surely
come in the Orient.”—Todasu

BY DOUGLAS LARSEN
NEA Washington Correspondent
^7ASHINGTON, P. C.—Recently a young Russian officer who
understood and spoke English was sent here on some special
mission. It was his first visit to America and his astonished report of
W’hat goes on in the U. S. capital is still leaving his friends at home
unbelieving. 4
He was most shocked at the way high-ranking Navy and Army
officers were treated so indifferently by the man in the street.
His most oft-reper'-d story Is about the vice admiral who was
riding to town on t'^'ffth street bus. He was amazed to see sueh
a dignitary use the c ft non carrier in the first place. The bus was
crowded and the vice admiral was herded in the rear like the rest.
He grabbed the handle on a seat which was occupied by two ap-
prentice seamen. They paid scant attention to him.
The pay-off came when the admiral wanted to get off. The bus had
stopped at a corner which apparently whs his destination and he
started pulling the buzzer cord vigorously. .The bus driver paid no
attention. The cord got several more snappy tugs.
That did it to the driver. He said in a loud, good-natured voice:
"You’re not on a ship, sailor! Pullin’ that cord won't get you off.
I'll leave you off at the regular bus stop which is in the middle of
the next block, and not before."
fJ'HE one incident the bewildered Russian could never figure out
happened while he was standing next to the desk of one of this
city's swankiest hotels. It was Saturday afternoon. A portly colonel
bustled up to the young woman clerk and politely informed her he
would like to have a room. When she found out he didn’t have a
reservation she said she was sorry but nothing was available.
The colonel had been gone hardly a second when a young Marine
officer candidate from Quanticn breezed up.
"Listen, baby, this is important; I've gotta have a room. How
about it?”
The girl sfniled and said she’d check to see if there were any
cancellations and returned with a double on the 10th floor. V
^JEXT to where the Red officer was staying lived an important offi-
cial in the national OPA office. His comrade, who had lived there ,
longer than he had, explained to him that their neighbor was a big
shot in the government. i
The Russian took a silent interest In the man, curious as to what
made an American big shot tick. One day he was in a grocery store
around the corner from where he lived, buying a half-dozen bottles
of soda pop, of which he had become very fond. He watched open-
mouthed as he saw his OPA neighbor come in, buy some meat and
then proceed to haggle at some length with the butcher.
When the OPA official left, the Russian asked the butcher if he
knew to whom he had been talking.
“I don’t care,” he replied, "but I sure wish these guys would leant
what rationing was all about."
