APP

In the Japanese notes on the Yap
mandate stress is laid on the tech
nicalities on which Japsu's t;tle to
the island is based. 'r',e Toxic GOV
eminent says, in effect; The
Allied Council awarded zap to us.
The American protest comes too
late. How are you going to reverse
the ALLEGATION, since Japan has a
voice in the Council and America
hasn't?"
But the American protest isn't
concerned with such technicalities.
The mandate for zap runs in the
name Of the five principal Allied
and associated powers. The United
States never gave it's consent to such
transaction. We have a Joint
right in the German islands which
antedates the Councils action and
has not been affected by it. zap
was assigned in error and without
notice to one Of the alleged as
signors.
Our complaint is not 80 much
against Japan for accepting
questionable title as it is against
the Council powers for doing some
thing in our name which they were
not authorized to do. We protest
the entire transaction as irregular
and in derogation Of our equal
status as belligerent. Does Japan
mean to argue that we weren't in
the war, didn't sign the arnlistice
and aren't entitled to have a say
in the disposition Of conquered Ger
man territory, which, even on the
face of the warrant under which
she assumes possession, was coded
to US as we'll as to the four other
leading Allied powers?

Simon Bolivar

Simon Bolivar, the Liberator, has
been called the South American
Washington. The careers of the two
we're similar in many ways. Each
was leader in freeing American
soil from European overlordship.
Each gave himself high-mindedly
and unselfshly to the cause of
American independence. Each strug-
glcd against enormous discourage
ments. Each had his Valley Forge.
Bolivar was driven from Caracas as
Washington was driven from New
York and Philadelphia. Each event
ually became the head Of the new
nation he had created Tin Bolivar's
case more than one nation) and
each filed continent with his
fame. Bolivar alone ended his life
in bitterness. and disillusionment,
dying an exile from Venezuela and
saying on his dcathbed: "Those who
fought for the South American
revolution plowed in the sea-"
This judgment was colored by
deep personal chagrin. Bolivar's
work was not in vain. He freed
Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru
and Bolivia from the Spanish yoke
and for time united them under
his dictatorship. They soon fell
apart. But they remain to-day in
dependent and Aourishing republics,
steadily advancing in civilization
and wellbeing. South American free
dom was as essential to the work
ing out Of the American experiment
as was North American freedom.
Bolivar was a Pan-American. He
tried to bring the states of the
southern continent together. He
was always devoted friend of the
United States. He fought for the
establishment Of a free republican
system in the whole Western world.
Its interests were what he had most
at heart. In victory or defeat he
was always unifier as we'll as a
liberator, true New World states
man and patriot. All the American
republics do well to honor him, be-
cause in spirit and purpose and in
heroic achievement he belonged to
all Of them.

Sir: Has the law against the traffic

amazement and indignation at the

1t IS more charitable to set this
down to ignorance rather than to
indifference. 1t is hard to believe
that any human being knowing tina.

IN the nesting season and that every
plume seen on the streets means that
nestful Of young egrets has starved

killed, would be seen wearing one Of

and west Of Afghanistan, they place
the cradle of mankind; and there in
this crucial hour common ancestors
Of John Daniel and ourselves may
have dwelt.
Perhaps they were all tree apes
and the ancestors of man gradually
descended and became ground apes,
thereby demonstrating their hardi-
hood and superiority over their chat
terng brothers Of the bandarlog. At
any rate, some cleavage came. One
theory shows the weaker, lazier
members Of the race drifting south
ward into Africa, there to become
gorillas and chimpanzees and so re-
main. And man went on, thrust
back by the great descents of the ice,
warred upon by great animals, war
ring with himself, tribe against
tribe, nation against nation, but al
ways resuming the upward climb
that began-we had best leave it to
the theologians to say when.
John Daniel was a Eood-natured,
affectionate being, as are most 60
rillas and chimpanzees in captivity.
1t was certainly decisive and irrev-
ocable step that his ancestors took
there on the Iranian plateau. But
in this large, long universe, wherein
man and gorilla alike are but new
corners, raw pioneers, SO to speak,
let neither look too patronizingly
on the other!
