tutions, language and cultural background.
We have had too much of tendency IN the
past, perhaps, to look upon the people OF
China, and of Russia as we'll, in terms OF
masses of population, rather than as men and
women as deeply concerned with world prog
ress and security as we are ourselves.
We shall know China and Russia better
when this war is won, and when our soldiers
who have fought alongside the Chinese and
Russian soldiers in the same cause, come
home.
One of the things that impressed me last
year on my visits to some of these countries
was the growth of popular education. Many
of us have had mistaken conception that

panizing and conducting and maintaining
world in which they, too, may possess the
blessings of liberty, peace and security. When
we seek products we need from afar we must
give something in exchange, The same con-
dition applies in seeking friendships. Certainly
we cannot make or retain friends by any pol
icy of detachment or aloofness. Neither can
we expect from such policy any protection
against the combinations of conquest that
are likely to form themselves against any
wealthy and isolated power.
The security we have had in the initial
stages of this war has come principally from
the unyielding fight of the peoples of Russia
and China against the invasions of the

~ NE of the principal lessons from the
~ war to date is that neither we nor any
~ other people are self-sufficient. Ameri-
can resources are among the most abundant
and varied of the world. yet we have found
them by no means ample either for our mill
tary needs or the maintenance OF our normal
home economy We do not possess many OF
the prime requisites for security in machine
age war.
Prudent planning will suggest that here
after, should war ever again threaten, ade-
uuate provisions be made for the storage OF
stocks of these commodities 0in and rubber
are but leading examples) which are essential
to our home pursuits and OF paramount i'm
portance to our armed services.
But more urgently needed than commodi-
ties in an hour of peril are friends. The Amerl-
can frontiersman knew this centuries ago.
1t applies to nations quite as much as to IN
dividuals. Great as are our needs for products
from abroad. the United States is less self
sufficient politically than economically. When
the free flow of our commerce is shut of, we
Immediately face severe restrictions and, with
many necessary articles, acute privation.
Were we to be shut off from friendships in
a world that is being menaced in every gener-
alton by the combinations of uncivilized con-
quest, we would not be fighting on far conti-
nents and distant seas, but on our own shores
and inside our own borders Even if in the

learning is the prerogative OF the western
world. We have been willing to concede that
important discoveries and inventions came
out of the East - printing. the mariners

in the distant past The plain fact is that one

who are ingenious and resourceful, but people
who are also highly educated. l do not speak

More than 100000 Chinese are now
literate. There are more people in China VINO

EXCEPT the United States. 1t will not be long
before China will have more hterates than
any other nation, unless the whole country
should be overrun and the people should be
subjugated by Japan.
j HE people of the United States have made
great contributions to the increase OF educa-
ton in China. We have maintained schools
set up universities and helped notably IN the
great strides China has made in public health.
Large numbers of Chinese students have been
educated in the colleges of this country. All
of this has had its place in the enlightenment
of China that has made her not only friend
of America but bulwark of freedom In the
Far East.
China is entitled to assistance from the
United States as promptly and fully as it can
be delivered. She is entitled also to our firm
and continuing friendship and full scale CO.

agressor nations. Neither of these peoples,
nor the British Commonwealth Of Nations,
which won the admiration Of the free world by
its resistance after the fall Of France, is fight
ing the war on our account, any more than we
are fighting it for them. All have common
purpose with us in the protection of their In
dependence.
1t is chiefly behind their battle lines that

our manpower, to build
up our air fleets and nav

must make before final
victory will be assured.

to see how Nazism could have been brought

do not find in the history of the Russian
neople anv threat of world domination by
force of arms.
Now the point is that we look out upon
world in which the vast, populous countries,
such as China and India and Russia, are be-
coming enterprising and enlightened couri-
tries. That process will extend to manufac-
turing and commerce, to engineering and IN
vention. In many sections it is still only in its
inception, but it will continue. 1t will be given
added impetus by the necessities of war. The
revival is well established and it should enter
into all of our considerations about the post
war world. Our destiny will be much greater
and more secure by having these peoples as
our friends.
like to think that among the democratic
peoples of the world there is closer bond
already than is found merely in the possession
of common enemy should like to see that
bond continually cemented more firmly, with
out the recurrence of still another ghastly
war to show the necessity. The way to cement
it is to cooperate as closely in peace as we are
required to cooperate when the emergency
of war is upon us.
We will need friends tomorrow just as
surely as we need them today. The way to
make and hold them is to enter with them
into the responsibility of maintaining world
in which decent nations may have reasonable
opportunity for the development and prog
ress of their own affairs. We are not SELF
sufficient nor are they.

end we should repel the
invasions that would come
from all quarters, a large
portion of our country
would be devastated and
the cost in human life
would be too frightful to
calculate.
LEr it be emphasized
that we cannot expect
future liberty, peace and
security without enjoying
the friendship of other
nations. We cannot enjoy
such friendships without
sharing with other peoples

was that Of q sob as though some

that must have tore right through
the din of battle on the Western

the streets of Paducsh, Ky.
When the selection was over, he
stood silent for a moment and then
with tears still in his eyes, and

that remark he babe us all good
night with thanks and wheeled and
went with the colonel into his quar-
tiers.
The band was dismissed, and OF
course. there were varying OF opin-
ions as to Mr.. Cobb's sincerity. Most
of the fellows thought II was just
a live to keep our spirits up. But
those OF us who had experiences
as that before. felt that we had
won ano her f. Or our race. We
felt like that poison pen had been
silenced, and although we hardly
expected Mr.. Cobb to mention the
incident again or re-declare himself.
we thought that he would resolve
within himself not to try to harm
our race again by unfair prejudieed
writings.
Imagine our surprise when in his
next article in the Saturday Eve

Joe, Jr.. he wrote verbatim, the
exact words he spoke that night!
And true to his promise he has
never from that d. wrote anything
to hurt our race. His motion-pictu.e

proven that.
