To the Japs, however, the emperor Is the top god In a list reputed to run to about 500, no matter where he sits, even If tinder Mr. Truman's chair. Their established religious theory would naturally hold that their god was in temporary difficulties In any subservient position.

Their leaders made no bones of what their intentions are.

This defeat, they said, is only temporary, and the mistakes that led to it will be amended. That statement may be interpreted as face saving -but It also contains a warning. Thus we have on two sides of thev world, nations to be policed, to be educated and weened away from aggression. As between Germany and Japan, it Is difficult, to guess which presents the larger problem. The Germans possess the greater talents for war, the science and energy that make aggression possible.

But they are close at hand; they can be watched, and unless the Allies are totally forgetful of the past five years, they can be checked.

Japanese Intellectuals who long sine discovered that the line back to the sun goddess was not only broken but shattered by many historical incidents, have been shushed effectively by the emperor's clan, meaning the ruling classes, who may hange faces from time to time but never have changed their emperor story, which was the excuse for their authority and Their trumpery, in-turn, would be Just as easy to prove and display.

The Japanese people have been required to believe, as a "co-matter of religion and government that the emperor picked his cabinets, controlled the diet and held "complete executive and legislative powers." This pretense that he was a Hitler was difficult to maintain with a straight face at times, as the various ruling Japanese groups controlled and pushed god first one way, then another In fact, wherever they wanted him.

Holiday Before Peace It is perhaps Just as well that V-J Day ia not to be proclaimed until the formalities ot the surrender are carried out, signed and sealed, for while it Is true that the war ended on Tuesday with Hirohito's acceptance of the Allied peace' terms, It is also true that the fighting did not and has not completely ceased. The marvels of modern communication have-not been able to penetrate some of the Jungle fastnesses in which our troops were engaged in rooting out the stubborn foe, and until the last shot has been fired and the last enemy has capitulated there will not be peace. i The Intervening days before the proclamation of V-J Day-will also provide the home fronts the opportunity to accustom themselves to the forgotten ways of peace, time to gain full release from the tension so abruptly snapped Tuesday evening.

It was wise for the President to authorize a two day holiday and to release gasoline for civilian use. These things prove as nothing else could, that the war is over. The Joy of peace must, of course, be tempered by the various crises of AH things their price and peae Is no exception. At the moment the spectre of unemployment is of less moment tHan fact that the fighting men are coming home. Today the is on the.

blessings of peace restored, not upon its hardships, and, in spite, of recent forebodings, the government's quick action in slashing draft quotas, in removing labor restrictions, 111 'wiping out rationing of fruits and vegetables, gasoline and oil, In cancelling 30 billions of dollars in war contracts, points to plans prepared for Immediate execution. By the time V-J Day arrives, however, the sheer satisfaction of not having to work, of not having to wrestle with ration points, of not having to restrain one's desire to drive will have evaporated while the stern realities of readjustment will start to make themselves evident. The government has tried to warn us of them. it has stressed unemployment mounting, perhaps even to 8,000,000 jobless, a figure to Induce sober contempla tlon. As far as the Glens Falls area is concerned, our people should come through reconversion with fewer discomforts than will those of the great war production centers.

Our principal products, paint, paper, textiles, cement, lumber are in demand in peace as well in war. Yet even in the national sense, it is to be doubted that joblessness will reach predicted proportions. One may remark how the most competent federal authorities' estimates vary the space of a few hours. Tuesday evening President Truman estimated that 5,500,000 veterans would.be home within 18 months. Yesterday morning, John Snyder, chairman of war mobilization and reconversion, placed this figure at 7,000,000 within 12 months.

As for unemployment, we believe that the suggested figure of 8,000,000 will include many workers whom patriotism has kept on the production line long after retirement age, wives who will resume homemaking as a career and youths who will enter schools rather than industry. Properly speaking, these will not be unemployed. But while the nation readies itself between now and V-J Day to meet the domestic problems of peace, temporarily forgetful of the rest of the world, there remains another matter which victory entails, the Japanese. Tuesday night, Japan was prominent In our thoughts, we hanged Hirohito in effigy. Yesterday we had virtually forgotten the Japs.

Complacency On the Highway Yesterday's disclosure that- gasoline rationing has been removed Is a happy piece of news but one 'that brings us face to face with a certain rise In motoring accidents unless immediate repressive steps are taken. Night Is the time when most accidents and the most serious ones occur. Since' the gasoline shortage sent many cars Into storage or limited their use to necessary daytime travel, highways after dark have been reasonably empty, a which has contributed much to building up a set of careless driving habits among those motorists who continued to stay out late. Residents of Glens Falls about the city in the late of the evening can testify to these habits.

Speeding On the main thoroughfares is common practice.1 Rushing the change of traffic lights or even ignoring them altogether Is another. A third and possibly the worst is the practice of some motorists of driving in the middle or on the left side of the highway, with or without lights. Speeding Is always against the law as well as against the dictates' of common sense and whether or not a motorist, is familiar with the prescribed speed limits inside and outside the city, he cannot be a good driver with glittering 80s and 90s, now all but forgotten.
