Orient Situation
“Explosive^’ Says
(ien. MacArtlmr
| (By Herbert G. Klein)
ALHAMBRA, Calif. (/P) — The
tall man sat easily in an overstuf
fed chair and puffed at his pipe as
he talked in scholarly fashion
about peace.
Resembling a college professor
in his late fifties, the philosopher
traced the development of man
culturally, physically and in the
ability to get along with others.
He was speaking of the possibil
ity of world survival and univer
sal peace.
The man, who was relaxed in
his chair and speaking quietly,
was the 70-year-old ruler of Ja
pan, hero of the Philippines and
the leader of the American inva
sion and occupation of this land.
It was Gen. Douglas MacArthur,
a professional soldier and ingen
ious strategist, who was taking
time out for a few minutes from
his job of planning the defense of
the Asiatic sphere and the admin
istration over 80,000,000 Japanese.
While he talks of peace, the
general does not minimize the sit
uation in the Orient.
“It's explosive,” is his comment.
Jet fighters, long range bombers
and four divisions of sharply
trained troops coupled with an
alert navy force give evidence
that Gen. MacArthur is prepared
for war in the Far East if it be
comes necessary, but the civilian
conditions in Japan give proof of
the American leader’s belief in
peace.
“Arts and sciences have prog
ressed more rapidly than charac
ter buildings,” he said. “If we had
achieved the heights in character
that we have in the other fields,
all would know hat was is no so
lution.”
Angelo Buffas, operator of the
Glue Pot Taxi returned from a
visit to the States.
