Now comes a message from New

The place for American marines is
at home. There is no use advancing
the date of the next World War. It's
due soon enough. These marines
have been shooting up small countries
with dark natives and getting medals
for it. But China is too big for that.
You've heard of "Tell it to the ma
rines" Well. it won't do for the
Chinese to tell it with anything hard
err than words. Let Britain paddle
her own. Keep the marines here.
