Conceivably, one of such power could be
built as to make a mockery of democratic
processes. Such things have happened in
other nations of very recent memory. It
would be absurd to deny the possibility
that they might happen in the United
States.
Whether the possibility is sufficiently
strong to call for the enactment of protec-
tive legislation is another of those mat-
ters of personal opinion. But, regardless
of present opinions, it is difficult to see

By JAMES MARLOW
WASHINGTON, July 18 — (A—
" Tile financial experts of this
country and 43 other nations work-
ed out at Bretton Woods in New
Hampshire last year a twin plan to
help put the postwar world on a
sensible money basis.
One part of the plan is culled the
international monetary fund The
other is called the international
bunk for reconstruction and devel-
opment. This Ls how the fund is
supposed to work:
There will be $8,800,000,000 in the
fund all 44 nations taking part in
it—others can come in later—have
to put up a share.
This country's share will be $2,-
750.000.000. We are putting up the
largest share.
The purpose of the fund is mak-
ing the world'* currency stable.
An individual will have no deal-
ings with the fund at all it will do
business only with governments and
central bants.
Here's am example of how the
fund would come into operation.
Suppose Brazil's coffee crop failed
one year in that year it couldn't
export much coffee. The value of
Brazilian money—cruzeiros -would
begin to fall and for this reason
Since Brazilians had no coffee to
sell abroad, they wouldn't be get-
ting much money from abroad
Without money they wouldn't be
able to buy much, say from the
United States.
Americans, dealing with Brazil-
ians. would want to be prrn in
American dollars To do business
with Americans. Brazilians would
try to buy dollars with their cru-
zeiros.
But Americans wouldn't have
started right in reading and interpolating

T’HERE’S a growing (though softly spoken) be-
■ lief among professional observers that the
Japanese homeland may fold up under the com-
bined Allied bombardment and blockade before
the time for amphibious invasion arrives
This thought is based on the knowledge that
the average human mind and body can stand only
so much punishment without cracking up its
true that fanatical Jap soldiers have been battling
to the death, and Japanese civilians might do the
same in face of invasion. However. I think we
shall make a mistake if we assume that fighting
to a finish in hand-to-hand combat is analogous
to dying from starvation combined with fierce
bombardment from far-distant warplanes and
warships against which there’s little or no defense
it takes a stout mentality to stand up long against
an "intangible" foe.
The Tokyo government has been making no
bones about the gravity of the crisis, and signs
of official worry have been increasing It would
be worth something to know what the Mikado
and his captains are thinking as the result of the
terrific assault of the past several days. The ap-
pearance of British bombers in Japanese skies is
in itself an ill omen for Nippon, for It bespeaks
the gathering of Allied forces in the Orient It
means that the fighting machines of Europe are
arriving in force.
For days past, Admiral (Bull) Halsey's Amer-
ican Third Fleet has cruised along the northern
coast of Japan with guns and carrier-based bomb-
ers tearing at enemy shipping, industrial centers
and communications like one of Nippon’s own
earthquakes. Then yesterday 1,500 American and
British carrier planes blasted the Tokyo area in
the heaviest seaborne attack of the war.
It's significant that the Japanese have taken
all this without counter blows of any consequence

WASHINGTON— Your Capital in Wartime:
‛ Rep Bartel J. Jonkman, Grand Rapids,
Mich., Republican, isn't inclined to crtelty. I'm
sure, but his little one-minute verbal didos on
the floor of the House have a lot of members
drooling.
Maybe it's the years Mr. Jonkman put in as
Kent county prosecuting attorney that make him
like to ask those harassing questons.
The other day his one-minute speech ran like
this;
“In my district, the town of Conklin produces
a high-grade dairy butter, which we know as
Conklin butter. In the district, we are able to
get very little butter and such as we do get is
48 cents a pound A constituent of mine informs
me that he went to Windsor, Canada, and bought
Conklin butter at 38 cents a pound, which was
stamped 'Lend-Lease? Not only that, but butter
seems so plentiful there that they offer a discount
of 2 cents a pound if you buy three pounds What
has Canada got that we haven’t got?"

much need tor cruzeirus, since they
weren t buying much of anything
from Brazil
To protect the value of ILs cru-
zeiros, Brazil would go to the h-
ternationa fund and ask it to sell
Brazil -say— 15 million dollars
against payment in cruzeiros.
The fund would let Brazil have
the 15 million dollars at the Fed-
eral Reserve Bank in New York.
By using these American dollars
for trading, Brazil would avoid any
further lowering of the value of
cruzeiros. By this one big deal Bra-
zilians no longer would be in the
position of trying to sell cruzeiros
at any price, no matter how low

The Presidential Tenure
qpHE “indicated” intent of the House ju-
1 diciary committee to take up the
whole question of presidential tenure—
meaning the proposal to limit a president
to two terms—hints of the possibility that
this controversial question may be
brought to a showdown at last.
It does not guarantee a .showdown.
Rep. Hatton W. Sumners of Texas, com-
mittee chairman, merely has ’’indicated”
the question “probably” will be discussed
by his group after the summer congres-
sional recess. So the outcome of renew-
ed discussions of a subject which has been
debated since George Washington declined
a third term is highly problematical.
Opposition to the proposal probably
never has been more outspoken than now.
Before Franklin D. Roosevelt became pres-
ident, many observers regarded such legis-
lation as unnecessary. The opinion was
widespread that precedent was sufficient
to preserve the two-term tradition. Conse-
quently, interest inclined to be passive
when legislation was suggested to place a
legal limit on presidential tenure. Many
people doubtless thought the precedent
couldn’t be broken.
Put it has been broken. It need not lie
surprising if future White House occu-
pants strive for as many terms as they
can win. Some, if not all, are likely to
hang on to their jobs as long as they can.
Whether it is good or bad that a presi-
dent might serve more than two terms
admittedly is a matter of personal opinion.
The argument that the American people
should be the best judges of how long a
president should continue in office has ap-
pealing features. If people think the na-
tional interest would be better served by
-retention of the. chief executive, what
could be undemocratic about that?
Perhaps nothing. On the other hand,
