REBUILDING THE JAP NAVY The United States has agreed to lend-lease the Jap- anese four U. S. warships. The actual transfer awaits ac- tion on the floor of the Japanese Diet. The Japanese cab- inet earlier this month approved the proposal, which would send two destroyers and two destroyer-escorts to the Japanese. The Japanese would also get a number of frigates. There are indications that Japanese naval authorities will request a “loan” of several heavier warships from the United States next year. The idea is to give Japan a navy stronger than Com- munist China, and eventually, one which would equal that of the Soviet Union in the Far East. Under terms of the proposed agreement the four warships expected to be delivered to the Japanese this year.would be loaned on a five-year lease. Announcement of this arrangement less than ten years after the United States was sinking Japanese war- ships in an all-out war against the Japanese is a strange commentary on the times, but nevertheless a welcome de- velopment. The question how fast Japan can be rearmed to counteract Chinese Communism, and Russian expansion- ism,’is not governed by the amount of aid, or the number of warships, the United States can send to Japan. Rather, it is dependent upon the mood in Japan. There certain political parties are bitterly opposed to any Japanese rearmament. The situation parallels that in Ger- many where some parties, notably’ those following the Communist line, oppose any rearmament on the ground that the country will become a battleground between the United States and Russia. : CHURCHILL ON THE ARTS Sir Winston Churchill, speaking in'‘London recently, reminded a dinner audience that the very dangers which now threaten the human race — atomic and hydrogen bombs — may prove the salvation of the human race. The seventy-nine-year-old Prime Minister says there is still hope new unconventional weapons will not be used in warfare. Churchill told his listeners that the routine of every- day life, the ceremonies, and so forth, of the daily grind, should not be discarded because of the threat of uncon- ventional weapons. In fact, he said, the human mind should be enriched and occupied, and through dedication and application, the chances that unconventional weapons will not be used will increase. Churchill believes the world’s “perils” may prove its » salvation, but he warns that this will depend upon “a new elevation of the mind of man, which will render him wor- thy of the secrets he has wrested from nature.” The elderly Prime Minister puts the challenge straight. The human race must soon make this final decision.

Hissing sound iS ONE B cA Sie This Rock | Of Ours By Bill Gibb Bob Givens recently wrote a friend concerning his (Bob’s) un- successfyl campaign for election to Congress. The general tone of the letter and some historical data a- bout Abraham Lincoln was so in- teresting that I think perhaps you folks will enjoy reading part of it. “I was keenly disappointed over the result,” Givens says in speak- ing of the recent election, “but I received some comfort from Abra- ham Lincoln’s experience. This is his record: FAILED in business in 1831 DEFEATED for State Legisla- ture in 1832 FAILED in business in 1833 Elected to State Legislature in 834 NERVOUS BREAKDOWN in 1836 DEFEATED for Speaker in 1838 DEFEATED for Elector in 1840 DEFEATED for Congress in 1843 Elected to Congress in 1846 DEFEATED for Congress in 1848 DEFEATED for United States Senate in 1855 DEFEATED for Vice-President in 1856 DEFEATED for United States Senate in 1858 Elected President in 1860” Self-confidence is expressed by ivens in the following manner: If the opportunity ever presents itself, I may try again because I still believe I have the qualifica- tions to serve the nation in some important capacity. . “In the meantime, for the first time in three years, I am in a position to give my law business my full attention and I intend to make the most of that opportuni- ty.” I haven’t quoted this letter be- cause of any political significance it might have concerning future candidates but because it is an out- standing explanation of why men run for political office — “to serve the nation in some important ca- pacity.” No candidate ever loses a race completely since he is helping to maintain Democracy when he gets you folks out to express your opin- jon at the polls. City Editor Margaret Foresman, our city edi- tor, has introduced a new note in journalism — namely, patience. It is such an odd departure from the usual tactics of an editor that it leaves a poor guy like myself in a quandry. Take the submission of copy, for instance. . . Margaret takes all the joy out of turning in hastily written material which needs an interpreter to straighten out. Instead of fussing, she calmly proceeds to translate the mess into fairly intelligible pa- ragraphs. That’s fine — that’s what editors are hired for. But to do it without casting slurring re- Printing... Embossing Engraving... Rubber Stamps The Ariman Press Greene Street Phone 2-566) } IY marks at the reporter just isn’t in the books. Heck! To show you how such a Policy will break down the morale of a man, I actually hunted up a dictionary and placed it alongside of this typewriter. Perhaps the sight of it will pick up Margaret’s spirit and relieve her of that pa- tient air of silent, painful endur- ance. Not that I intend to use the dietionary — I never could under- stand how a fellow was suppose to find a word if he didn’t know how to spell it to begin with! Take such words as “pneumonia,” “xylophone,” or even such com- mon verbs as “write” — how can an ignorant guy locate them in a book? He’d have to read from front ; to back cover.

Especially the youngsters graduating from high school this year who might be contemplating a career in journalism, Sub-Courthouse Location Sought WEST PALM BEACH #—Lake Lytal, chairman of the Palm Beach County Commission, told a delegation ‘from the Everglades Monday that the county is ready to proceed on a sub-courthouse when the people agree on a loca- tion. Mayor Lewis Friend of Pahokee suggested the sub-courthouse be built at the Glades airport on Lake Okeechobee between Pahokee and Belle Glade. The area has a population of about 20,000 and has sought a sub- courthouse for several years, claiming it would save the 80-mile round trip necessary to transact courthouse business in West Palm Beach.
