It is ironical that over 20 years after the Japanese first moved into Manchuria, and gave the world the first warnings of World War Il, the peace is reached between two coun- tries who have both been‘defeated by forces stirred up during World War Il. ' The Japanese, it seems, who turned the fury of their armed forces on China — which seemed the easiest target available at the time. would have done better to have di- gected their attention to the Russian front'in, Manchuria. Traditional enemies,.the Russians profited most in the war between Japan and China, and today, they control the Chinese mainland and threaten Japan. The tragedy of the war between Japan and China is best demonstrated by the fact that Japan now faces a hostile China and a hostile Russia, while the Chinese Na- tionalists have been completely pushed off the mainland. The Chinese incident, which, to the Japanese ‘seemed an easy grab, turned out to be a little more complicated than it first appeared. ‘ 1952’S 3RD PARTY Rétently, in Chicago, the formation. of a third party ‘was detided upon by about 100 persons, representing 40 states: These people do not like the platforms adopted by either the Republican or Democratic parties, in conven- tion, and it has been proposed that they call themselves the All-American Party. Unfortunately, the latest third party effort got off to a rather confused and fizzling start. Sessions began one day and on the afternoon of the second day, discussion of a third party became heated and involved. Dr. George Washington Robnett, of Evanston, Illinois, president of the Church League of America, who was presiding at the session, entertained a motion to adjourn and saw it car- ried by about 96-7. He then left the platform. But then another group, the Minute Women of the United States, took over and elected a New York economics magazine editor as the new chairmen and the group proceeded to orgahize. a third party. Thus, the third party attempt arises in the midst of a split among its proponents. The prediction is that it will suffer the same fate as that suffered by all third parties, thus far, in this Republic. The surest way to drive safely is to do nothing else at the same time. Most people fail to understand other people’s prob- Yems because they never take time to consider them.

First, Allen, your attack upon “A Frequent Visitor” was purely defensive, unwarranted and incon- sistent. You challenged the person who wrote about Monroe General Hospital because he or she re- quested that the signature be de- leted. You're.a former newspaper man and know that such a request is not unusual. How many times have you yourself news of an even more explosive nature and request- ed that your name not be involved? Such things aren’t too important, however. What I really took ex- ception to was your statement that people with complaints need only come .before the county commis- sioners to have them remedied! Wake up, Joe! You and I are near the same age. We've both been raised in this town. You consider yourself a Christian and I hope some- day to be worthy of the name.

From one who considers himself Bill Gibb (“Wants Communications” Editor, The Citizen: Sometime ago, the Garden of Our Lord, located in Coral Gables, Fla., received a beautiful plaque in memory of the dead of the Far East Air Force, who lost their lives in combat in the South Pacific. One of the most impressive of all the twenty-seven similar tributes now hanging on the memorial wall, this plaque is a beautiful citation, signed by General Geroge Kennedy himself. It represents a collection of small donations from airmen now actively engaged with the enemy in Korea, or serving with their units in Japan and the United States, as well as contributions from a large number of veterans of the Pacific campaigns of World War Il. In accepting the plaque for the Garden, as chairman of the Garden of Our Lord Association, I ac- cepted also the responsibility of locating veterans of the Far East Air Force now living in South Florida, to participate in the ser- vices to be held in the late Fall season.
