We had enough troubie trying to keep track of Thanksgiving during the last few years. The present calendar is good enough for us, and there is enough confusion and changing right now to discourage any additional adjustments. is no Honoring Genghis (New York Times) «Somewhere in Chins,” a dispatch printed in this newspaper said, there was solemn sacrificial cere- mony to commemorate the 5th anniversary of the death of the great Mongol congueror, Genghis Khan. Representatives of the Chinese Government attended.” According to the books, Genghis Khan died Aug. 24, 1227. That is a mere matter of calendars, but why did the Chinese honor a conquesor and destroyer, to Roger Bacon a soldier of antichrist, to the Moham- medan world of his time a superstitious terror? And didn’t Genghis Khan overrun and annex Northern China? We forget that the thirteenth century is modern to a nation whose first historical emperor goes back almost to the fourth century B. C. The Chinese are able to take long views. To the Chinese of his time Completely (Portland Oregonian) It is pleasant reading ‘hat American submarines have disposed of three Jopanese destroyers at Kiska and another at Agattu. But these intruders should not have been in the Aleut’ans in the first place, and the extent of the bag is evidence of a considerable Japanese concentration in that area. In fact, the official communique speaks of “enemy transports and escorting vessels” being gathered at Agattu on July. 2. The people of the United Sta are wearing out their patience. They are not the kind of people to be consoled, over any long period, with partially suc- cessful defensive actions, or with chronologies of in- dividual heroism. We realize perfectly that if the high command were in a position to argue with this kind of criticism it would make out quite a case. The disposition of the forces such and such and such and such. But the h command may be wrong. A lot of high commands have been. And they can take this from us, that the establishment of Japanese bases in the western Aleutian Islands is a failure of the first order on their part, not to be forgotten in the sinking of four destroyers. Those . need to be blasted out, completely. he mastered Asia with a force that modern historians think small and at an immense distance from sup- olies shows that he must have been a great general. Though of another race than the Chinese, he can be regarded as an ancestor. His grandson, Kubla Khan, added South China to the possessions of his grand- father. soldier. the rites of Sunday. And in time, after the shock of Mongol attack, cohesion and consolidation among the quarreling prin- cipalities of Russia became possible and the empire of Ivan the Great was formed. What strikes us as cur- jous anomalies in the historical process may be clear enough to the of our elder brothers in China. To his grandson and therefore to him is due Assoclated Press dispatch from Boston: Boston granted the first hitching post permit in its 300-year history.
