Dear Mr.. and Mrs. Reed:

Dear Mr.. and Mrs. Reed:
For well over a year now I
have been receiving the Kenne-
wick Courier-Reporter, so first
of all would like to tell you
just how much ] havy appreciated
it. 49,.
If there is anything next to let
tiers from home to boost a guys
morale-well that's it. There were
a lot of times out on the islands
when I thought mail would never
come, but somehow the good OLD
Courier-Reporter would drop in
and make some marine leave the
mail call with a smile.
Right now am at rest camp
back in civilization, having it ra-
Their easy.
Sorry I can't tell you where it
is or where / have just returned
from, but how glad I was to leave
that rock.
It was just a small sand and
coral island with all of its trees
blown off by shell fire. AS long
as I live I will never complain
about the heat waves we used to
have at home, because it was
nothing for the temperature to
rise to 100 out here.
Those tropical islands sure don't
live up to their reputation.
It's almost time for taps, so
thanks again for being so kind in
sending me the paper. Cpl. Eldor
r. Kemp.

 Captioned Calamity"
Robert BOOthby Says HulPs Policies Would Ruin
 World After War

Vlnced tht these things would ruin the world after the war"
 Sir John Anderson, chancellor of the ex-cheQuer, said today that Hrltaln's creditors must be ''reason- able" and eollaborate with this country in trying to settle the war debts,
 "our creditors must recognize that they have common interest with us and must collaborate," An- derson said at Q Lord Mayors luncheon at Mansion House,
 "They must be reasonable and not seek to treat war debts on Q footing of ordinary commercial obs llgations. Practically the whole of our external obligations incurred during the war are to our Allies and associates in the war.
 we have incurred debt to them but have they not also incurred some kind of debt to us which they to can pay by their confidence in us and by their practical coopera- ton with usS"
 Under the Breton Woods pro. poSalS, he said, Britain's exchange policy will be subject to review by an international body,
 we owe 1t to the general inter. eSts of international trade to cons suit with an international institu. ton before we make c change which will affect our commercial As well as our financial relations with other countries" Anderson eontin. ued.
 T am absolutely unimpressed by the loose criticism that by accept- ing the plan We shall have re- turned to the gold standard in the sense of putting our policy under the dietation of others"
 He said Britain was in no way committed to abide by the Breton Woods decisions, but upheld the conferenee's stand on international exchange and return of the gold standard.
 If we believe it is In our own interests to have reasonable stahil- ity of exchanges but at the same time to have a method for orderly adjustment of exchanges when the occasion arises, I do not see very well how one could have Q very different principle from that stated In the Breton Woods document" he said.
