BY TOM WOLF
NEA Service Staff Writer

The story below comes from
the White House during war
time. It reads like the story Of
America at war, 1912. Yet 1t
actually concerns the America
of 80 years ago.
It's author is Abraham Lin
coin, born 1873 years ago today.
The story has been culled, in
exact quotation, from various
of Lincoln's speeches and writ
ings during the whole Civil War
period.
This issue. presents to the
whole family of man the ques-
ton whether a constitutional
republic or democracy gov
eminent of the people by the
same people-can or cannot
maintain it's territorial integrity
1t forces us to ask: Is there,
in all republics, this inherent
and fatal weakness? Must
government, of necessity, be too
strong for the liberties of its
own people, or too weak to
maintain its own existence?

The White House Says"
Is Noted Around World:
Is Roosevelt Personality
BY JACK STINNETT

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-One of
the great phenomenon OF the United
States government is the peculiar
quality of the White House and the
way it fits into the American scheme
of things.
For generations, it has almost
been a living personality in the
minds of the American people, but
in recent years it has become a
world personality as never before.
THE White House says s. the
White House believes -. the White
House reports" And all the world
listens.
This is something that Jranscends
the men who have lived there, for
although President Roosevelt has
contributed much to the power and
personality of the White House, it
had assumed this air of personal
entity before he was born.
Washington, Jefferson, HOban
and L'Eneant, the men who
planned and located "the man
sion or palace of the Presidents"
as it was always thought of in
those days, would be amazed to
find that it has become force
in world affairs.
They visioned it as a quiet re-
treat where the President might re-
tire from the hurly -burly of politics
raging at the other end OF Penn
sylvania Avenue on Capitol Hill.
They saw it as peaceful dignified
home, given over to pleasant living.
They counted it as the center OF that
gay, social life in which they pre-
sumed Washington would duplicate
the pattern of other great capitals.
When the cornerstone was laid $50
years ago this October, the future OF
the Presidents mansion was con-
sidered in those terms.

CHINA is REBUFFED

Here is the inside story of what
happened Shortly after General
Wavell was appointed commander
in-chief of the Far Eastern forces,
Chang Kai-shek offered him three
Chinese army corps to fight in
either Burma or Singapore Or both.
However, Wavell turned a cold
shoulder. No explanation was given,
but the Chinese got the impression
that the British Indian Govern
ment had political reasons for not
wanting Chinese troops involved.
After this rebuff, Foreign Minis
ter T. v. Soong, stationed in Wash
ington, slyly suggested that it
might be good strategy for the
United States to employ the same
strategy as the British-namely. let
other people do the fighting for
them in the East.
Just as the English were using
Indian, Malay and Amaze troops,
The Daily Alaska empire. [volume] (Juneau, Alaska) 1926-1964, 1942-02-17

WASHINGTON - The visit OF
Generalissimo Chang Kai-shek to
the capital of India is one of the
most significant in the history OF
ancient Asia. Perhaps not since the
days of Kubla Khan has the had-
er of one great Asiatic race total
ling 400 million people visited the
capital of another great Asiatic
race, numbering 300 million peo-
pie.
A few years ago, the British
would have viewed such a visit
with misgiving, even horror. For in
the past they have desired no un-
ity between the brown and yellow
races of Asia.
However, there is extremely sig
nificant diplomacy behind the trip
of the Chinese generalissimo to In
dia. First, it foreshadows a new
route for Chinese supplies through
India; for if the Burma Road
should be closed, China must have
a new supply route or quit fight
ing.
Second, it means that China is
going to play greater part in
the Far Eastern war.
1t hasn't leaked out yet, but
Chang Kai-Shek had to use hard
boiled diplomacy to win all this.
In fact he almost threatened to
pull an Aguinaldo and join the
Japanese.
