Japs not ready for democracy
TOKYO, Feb. 17.—(T.P. Admiral Kichisaburo Nor*<ura, Japan's ambassador to the United States at the time of Pearl Harbor, said today he believed “the time is not yet ripe for Japan to become a democracy such as United States’ government of the people, by the people and for the people.”
In a statement to the United Press. Nomura said given time the Japanese will succeed in establishing a democracy because “they have had some elements of democracy,” but added that he believed “a deeper reeducation of the people was first necessary.”
Reviewing almost six months of occupation, the pre-war envoy to Washington said he was greatly impressed with the fact that the American occupational forces haven’t shown the attitude of “the eonquerors over the vanquished.” He said he considered this “the most admirable trait of the Americans.”

Official press tells China civil war outbreak
Southern Manchuria scene of rapid drive with brief resistance
CHUNGKING, Feb. 17.—(EE)— China’s civil war has broken out anew in southern Manchuria and American-e quipped Nationalist armies drove 20 miles in one day to seize the important rail town of Liaochung, 50 miles southwest of Mukden, after brief communist resistance, it was officially confirmed today.
Spearheads ,of Lt. Gen. Tu Li-Ming’s new sixth and the veteran 13th armies, in what was termed by official sources as an “expansion of the sphere of occupation,” captured the town after taking Panshan and Taian. 95 and 70 miles southwest of the communist-held rail junction of Mukden in Jehol province.
The reports wrere confirmed by the official Central Daily News and Nationalist headquarters in Chungking, after the communists charged central government forces were pushing forward into Manchuria.
Nationalists in Chungking interpreted the capture of Liaochung as removing a constant communist threat to Gen. Tu’s right flank and said “his onward pushing can be expected to continue until all the important rail lines are in his hands.”
The communist New China daily reported today that the new Chinese first army, American trained units of Buraft fame, were concentrating in Hongkong for transportation by the U. S. navy to Manchuria.
Lt. Gen. Albert C. Wedemeyer, American commander in the China theater, already has requested U. S. naval transport for nationalist troops, with the approval of Gen. George C. Marshall.
The three cities taken dot the right flank of Gen. Tu’s troops, consisting of three armies—the sixth, 13th and the 52nd—which are spread out over roughly 900 miles of railway lines in a huge T-shape north and south of the great wall.
Communist armies in Jehol were moving to eastern Liaoning province and toward Tungliao, 150 miles northwest of Mukden. Other forces in Kirin province were moving southward to eastern Lianoning province near the towns of Chang-pai, Linkiang. and Tnngjua on the Manchurian-Korean border due east of Mukden.

Emery joins atom men
O.T. technique
Use of the silk screen technique of printing as a craft in the home or hospital and for industrial use was demonstrated to the minor craft class of the occupational therapy
department by representatives of the Graphic Art company of Los he may study the geologic effects
Prof. Kenneth O. Emery, assistant professor of geology, is one of
,the two geologists selected to study geologic effects of the fourth atom bomb when it is exploded by the army and navy in May.
Known as “Crossroads.” the operation is to test a new weapon and lay the foundation for defense against it. Military men plan to explode one bomb in the air over a fleet of ships moored at Bikini Atoll in .the Marshall islands, which is more than 4000 miles from the U.S. shore; then place a second^ bomb on a float where it will be detonated at water level.
“Chosen for his fine work in sedimentation in the past. Dr. Emery has been given special leave so that

of the bomb both before and after the explosions,” stated Dr. Thomas L. Clements, head of the geology department. Dr. Emery will return ♦
to SC in September to resume his teaching.
Picked for the experiment are 97 ships, among them the elderly Japanese battleship Nagato, and .the German heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen. Among our own ships are four antiquated battleships — Pennsylvania, Nevada, New York, and Arkansas — and the carrier Saratoga. In the task force will be a fleet of 50 ships with 20.000 sailors, scientists, congressmen, army airmen, and 150 newsmen.
Professor Emery’s work before his SC assignment last year was in the navy and sound department of the division of war research at the University of California. He was chief of the oceanography section. Part of his work on the “Crossroads” experiment will be taking samples and photographs of submarine sedimentation.
Vice Admiral Blandy, as quoted by Time, explained that “the ultimate results of the test so far as the navy is concerned will be their translation into terms of U.S. sea power. Secondary purposes are to afford training for Army Air Forces personnnel in attack with atomic bombs against ships.”
Maj. George Fielding Eliot in the New York Herald Tribune is quoted as saying:
“Let the atomic fires which we shall loose above Bikini set alight the spiritual fires of a common and deathless purpose which shall burn forever upon the altars of a world at peace.”
Professor Emery’s appointment is by the U.S. coast and geodetic survey whose special ship, the Bou-ditch, left port Friday morning to join the group in the Marshall islands.
