Kuchel Editors and Publishers The Anaheim Gazette has been owned and edited by the same family since 1875. Published every Thursday at 259 East Center Street, Anaheim, California. Phone 2206-2207 Subscription Per Year, $2.00; 2 Years $3.50; 6 Months $1.25 Entered as second-class matter at the Post Office at Anaheim, California, under the Act of March 8, 1879. Anaheim, located in the richest spot on earth, "In the Heart of the Valencia Orange District," is widely known for its beautiful parks, fine schools and churches, and for its other civic improvements and the stability of its citizenship and its business institutions. When you plan your future home of contentment, the one-stop answer is Anaheim! THE JAPS HAVEN'T CHANGED It would be well for all of us to bear in mind that the act of surrendering to the Allies has not changed the character or the aims of the Japs in any way. They are still the same sneaky, treacherous lot they were the morning they blasted Pearl Harbor without warning. And there can be no doubt that they hope to survive this present setback so that at some later date they can make another try at world conquest. Even now they are laying the groundwork for this effort. An official of the Japan Broadcasting corporation told the enemy troops: "We have lost but idea to other nations it will help pave the way for the next war of aggression 20, 50 or 100 years from now. It is up to the Allies, and America in particular, to see to it that the Land of the Rising Sun never again gets the chance to build itself up as a major military power. Our efforts in this direction will be much more effective if we recognize that we are dealing with the same people whose code of ethics justified, and still justifies, treachery, torture and bestiality. MacARTHUR TAKES OVER They are still the same sneaky, treacherous lot they were the morning they blasted Pearl Harbor without warning. And there can be no doubt that they hope to survive this present setback so that at some later date they can make another try at world conquest. Even now they are laying the groundwork for this effort. An official of the Japan Broadcasting corporation told the enemy troops, "We have lost but this is temporary". It isn't going to be so temporary as the Japs seem to believe, but it could be if we are not alert to further trickery and treachery on the part of our beaten foe. Emperor Hirohito himself has helped the propaganda program by declaring in his speech to the Japanese people that in starting the war in 1941 it "was far from our thought either to infringe upon the sovereignty of other nations or to embark upon territorial aggrandizement". Of course, no one outside of Japan is going to swallow such a deliberate lie, but the Japs—like the Germans immediately after their defeat—are trying to convince the world that they were fighting only in self-defense. They know that if they can sell this America in particular, to see to it that the Land of the Rising Sun never again gets the chance to build itself up as a major military power. Our efforts in this direction will be much more effective if we recognize that we are dealing with the same people whose code of ethics justified, and still justifies, treachery, torture and bestiality. MacARTHUR TAKES OVER The choice of General MacArthur as Allied supreme commander in handling the Jap surrender and in occupying the enemy homeland was most fitting for a gallant soldier who staged one of the most impressive "comebacks" in military annals. General MacArthur knows the Japs better than any other American leader. His experience with them has not been limited to the past three or four years of war. Just after the turn of the century he went to Japan as a military attache and observer in the Russo-Japanese war. At that time he got his first opportunity to study the methods of the squat little men who even then had designs for world conquest. He is well aware of the type of people he is dealing with, and we can expect that he will deal Alcott & Sons Victory Sale STARTS FRIDAY, AUG. 24, 9:30 A.M.

He isn't that kind of a man. The general's new assignment doubtedly gives him keen satisfaction, however, for it marks the climax of his long struggle against tremendous odds that might have completely broken a courageous individual. And there can be no doubt that the appointment of General Macthur as head of our occupational forces is a particularly bitter pill for the Japs. Aside from the atomic bomb he has been their Number One nemesis in this war. Addresses Lions Club Meeting America, heretofore a "nation of wheels" will become a "nation on wings" in the "Air Age" now dawning, the Lions club was last Friday at its noon meeting in the Elks club by Harvey Powers, assistant to the president of the Aircraft Industries Association of America. A foremost authority on his project, the speaker chose as his motive "The Air Age—New Fronter For Business" and warned that the nation must retain its air power in peace as well as in war. The backbone of United States space-time air power, he predict-huge transport planes would impose a "merchant fleet of the 21st" which would open up new areas of natural resources, increase trade with other nations and help bring about mutual appreciation of peoples in once remote lands. He said that Americans have the opportunity of IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO 50 Years Ago AUGUST 29, 1895 The directors of the Anaheim Fruit association met at the city hall on Monday evening and decided to agree to adoption of the new plan for marketing next season's crop, as suggested by the executive board. This plan should be read by all growers (it appears in another column). The total shipments of oranges from southern California points was reported to be 7658 cars, of which 3897 were handled by the exchanges or about one-half of the crop. Active endeavors are already underway to secure a larger representation in the exchanges next year, with good indications of success. George A.
