- operative proposal of
the pan-American conference
without reservation.
The free institutions of the
American republics are
threatened-nOt only by the
totalitarian powers of Eu-
rope, but by the absolute
despOtism Of Asia.
The great free republics of
America could do little else
but unite to protect their
rights and their liberties,
their democracy and their in
tegrity.
They have happily united
to defend the free institutions
of the Western Hemisphere
and to preserve the western
civilization of which they are
not only the leaders, but for
the most part the sponsors
and the creators.
The world conflict is a con-
flict of ideals-Of the evil
ideals which have made a
bloody and barbarOus past,
and the higher ideals which
will make a peaceful and pro-
gressive future.
1t is a glorious climax to
the conference that the great,
free nations of the new world
should have unanimously de-
cided triumphantly to support
their own new ideals in har-
mOny and unity.

JAPANESE CLAIMS
From inside our ship a radio was
biaring. II had picked up a Toxic

what we heard. word for word:
I'VE sympathixe with the
United States upon the loss Of
the huge aircraft carrier Lexing
ton. the greatest carrier In the

First IL was the Langley, next
the Enterprise and then the
Lexington. Now there Is only the
Saratoga left"
Eyes popped at that assertion
because the ship we were watching
was none other than the Lexing
ton.
She was as busy as an old
mother hen with a flock Of chick
ems.
WAR BIRDS RETURNING
She was taking back on board
her brood of war birds which had
been out all day securing the sea
for hundreds Of miles in an effort
TO come to grips with the enemy
The unadorned fact is that the
big carrier has not been touched
by the Japanese or any OF h g r
hostile hand.
As for the other two United
States ships listed as sunk" by
the japanese radio, let's turn the
spotlight on them.
