Midweek Communique: In spite of all the squawking that is going on, things are moving with extraordinary smoothness in the Pacific.

The difference is that instead of having to do all this at the cost of hundreds of thousands of American lives, we are now accomplishing the same purpose bloodlessly. If Gen.

MacArthur had been as big a fool as some of his critics he would have announced on the day he landed at Yokohama that he intended to do thus and so to the Japs. The Jap army, who greatly outnumbered us, would probably have descended on us and slaughtered a lot of Americans. But, still, it would have made the critics at home very happy, I suppose.

"The cbmplaints I have received," he said, "indicate Los Angeles is the black spot of the State and should be cleaned up first." To this end, he continued, an organizational meeting of the Public Morals Committee will be held in the State Building here next Monday.

The independent investigators will launch their inquiry shortly after that meeting, Sawallisch declared. Inquiry Welcomed The Assemblyman made his original charges last month, at which time Atty. Gen. Kenny brought the accusations to the attention of District Attorneys and Sheriffs. Kenny called the general attack on law enforcement agencies "unjustifiable" in the letters, but stated it called for acknowledgment.

Now you can gorge on gor-gonzola without giving Edam about red points. It was the biggest day in cheesy annals since mouses was invented, and the biggest day for mouses since cheese was rationed. Now you can step right up and buy a ton of cheddar, Camembert, Holmboe Gjetost, provaloni, Muenster, brick, Brie, nogelost, jack, Stilton, Bel Paese, Roquefort, Swiss or limburger without no qualms, misgivings or meat stamps.

If the financial talks in Washington are successful, Britain will get the money she needs and will fall in line with this country's ideas of world trade a step which is vital to any smooth functioning of the United Nations. If the British Tefuse to keep in step, people here think they will be scuttling the United Nations just as deliberately as seme people like to say that this country scuttled the League of Nations. The price this country asks for a loan is some agreement on how it is to be spent.

TREATIES The affairs at London that are to be settled peacefully, we hope, are problems of the sort that, in the past, have caused most of the wars. Boundaries are to be readjusted, access to the open oea is to be provided, freedom of inland waterways is to be arranged. All these problems run across the grain of Europe's century-old hates and nuspicions. So don't expect too much, too soon. And, despite what you think about Britain's new government, you'll find them on the opposite side from Russia on many points.
