Trovct forum
Planning versus free enterprise discussed
Government planning or free enterprise—which will solve the problem of unemployment?
At the Trovet forum yesterday, Dr. Robert E. Harris, editorial director of the Los Angeles Daily News, argued for government planning, and William H. Courtney, secretary of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce,
argued for free enterprise. The topic discussed was “Can We Legislate Full Employment?”
“Everyone agrees on the goal of full employment,” Dr. Harris said in his opening statement. “We disagree only on the methods of achieving this goal. Success depends on whether we can achieve full employment without sacrificing our es-
sential freedoms.”
“There are two opinions on the solving of this problem,” he continued. “The first is that free enterprise, if left alone, will solve itself. The second is that without government controls and planning and coordination, free enterprise cannot be expected to achieve a

Riley to review war wounds'
Caught in the storm that hit the Philippines in the early days of he war, and swept with it into the Santa Tomas prison camp in Manila for an internment of three years, the Rev. Herbert J. Riley, class of ’21 and a Methodist missionary in the islands for 14 years, will speak at an all-U assembly Thursday. Sponsored by the council of religion, the gathering at 12:30 p.m. in the Harris hall auditorium, will hear the Rev. Mr. Riley speax on “Healing The Wounds of War.”
When rescued and liberated by the United States first cavalry division on Feb. 3, Mrs. Riley had lost 30 pounds and he weighed only 112 pounds as a result of the slow starvation to which the Japanese militarists had subjected the internees.
With one son, Paul, a member of the SC marine V-12 unit, and the other, Herbert Jr., enrolled at SC as a freshman, the Trojan tradition has been carried on in the Riley family.
“It was a sad day,” he said, “when, after 14 years residence in .the Philippines working among students and young people under the Board of Missions of the Methodist church, all of us were swept into .the prison camp.”
All the family was interned with the exception of Paul who had returned to the United States six months before the outbreak of war and who later joined the marine corps and fought with the fourth division in the Marshall islands, Tinian, and Saipan. Herbert Jr. and Eleanor, who is now enrolled at Manual Arts High school here, spent the years of internment attending makeshift classes for the younger internees. Interned with them were many professors from the 9anta Tomas university and the University of the Philippines.

TOKYO. Sept. 17.—(U.P.)— Gen. Douglas MacArthur announced today that American occupation troops in Japan will number no more than 200,000 within six months because he had won probably the greatest gamble in history.
Projected plans for pouring millions of men into Japan have been revised drastically because of the complete success of the occupation, he said. Surplus troops will be sent home for demobilization as fast as ships can be made available. Concurrent with his announcement, he moved his headquarters to Tokyo.
“Probably no greater gamble has been taken in history than the initial landings where our ground forces were outnumbered 1000 to one, but the stakes were worth it,” he said.
Swift completion of his occupation program and the drastic cut in troops needed had been made possible by the use of the Japanese government to speed Japan’s disarmament and for other required tasks, he said.
MacArthur disclosed that his occupation forces probably will be composed only of troops of the regular postwar army and ail draftees in the Pacific will be completely demobilized within six months.
Once Japan is completely disarmed, he said, 200.000 troops will be sufficient to impose the will of the Allies should there be any balking.
The speed with which his forces are taking over jpermitted MacArthur to move his headquarters from Yokohama to the Dai-Iohi Mutual Insurance building in downtown Tokyo. He will live in the U. S. Embassy building.
Utilization of the Japanese government structure obviated the necessity of a military government, which would have required millions of men. many years of additional time, and untold billions of dollars, MacArthur said.
He coupled his announcement with a warning to the Japanese that their future political and governmental structure would depend to a great extent on their actions within the next few months.
This question will be decided on the highest diplomatic level of the United Nations after the purely military phases of the occupation are completed, he said.
The U. S. navy, meanwhile, disclosed that occupation of many Japanese ports is being delayed because they were shut off by American mines especially designed to frustrate Japanese attempts to sweep them.
Morale corps seek signups
Interested women may sign up for the hospital corps at .the Victory Hut from 12 to S p.m. today.
Miriam Thompson, chairman of the enlistment drive, issued a call to all interested Trojan women bo join the group which makes tours to nearby hospitals to cheer convalescing servicemen.
AH coeds who are willing to join will meet tomorrow noon in the Red Cross house.
Visits to Birmingham. Santa Ana, Long Beach naval, and Sawtelle hospitals are on the agenda of the busy corps of coeds. The campus unit is responding ,to the nationwide expansion of the camp and hospital corps of the United States Red Cross.
Besides the hospital visits, the women perform many other func-lonts which aid servicemen. Layettes for military families are the current project, according to Bernice Hage, production chairman.
Work is carried on at the chapter house every Tuesday and Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Work on diapers and afghan squares is one of the group’s duties and one that will afford coeds much valuable experience.
Additional signups for the corps will be taken at tomorrow’s noon meeting, announced Miss Thompson.
