Farewell To Arms and
Good Luck, Veteran

Twenty odd years ago a Joe wrote a
book by that name-Farewell to Arms.
A pretty good book. And pretty
good Joe, too. From Ill So we've
stolen the title of this chapter from
him.
Farewell to Arms. So the wars
over-for you. Is it? Maybe. Not
likely, though Lots of Joes who were
in the war rs years ago came out of
it in pretty good shape. And lots of
them have been in pretty good shape
ever since. But they have never got
ten over that war. They've never
forgotten it, War changes things
and people. Especially it changes the
Joes who fight it. And it changes
people and things for them. War fol-
lows you all the days of your life.
But you have to go on living. And
you want to- Living like an Ameri-
can. Isn't that what you've been
fighting for?
War can lick a man, Bud. The
changes can get him down. We've
seen it. So have you. But war isn't
going to lick you, is it? Even if it
got you down, it can't keep you down,
can it? If it can, you've been fight
ing for nothing. You've been fight
ing for our way of life-your way of
life. Whatever those words mean to
you, that's what you've been fighting
for-our, and your, way of life. And,
thank God, you've come back to a
country and state where you can
still fight for it-for the way of life
you think Americans should have
Lots of people want to help you,
Joe. No sympathy stuff. Just what
one man should do for another. But
if you get caught in the switches, and
don't know where to turn TOGO tell
your troubles to another veteran-of
your war or the war before. Ten to
one he'll have the answers for you, or
tell you where to get EN- A hundred
to one he'll help you. But get this
straight, veteran. A man or woman
doesn't have to be a veteran to want
to help you. Or to be able to help
you. It's just only natural that a vet
eran should know more about your
problems as veteran, and talk your
language better than some one who
wasn't there.
So-Farewell to Arms, joe And
you, too, Jane. But not farewell to
comradeship, or decency, or being a
right guy, or helping the other fellow
to help himself.
So long, Joe. And good luck. You
know if the going get tough, you'll
find help at any outfit mentioned in
this article.
Good Luck, Joe, and You, too, Jane.

MacArthur's personal guarantee after
he had been captured as the Japanese
evacuated him and other puppets. Sen
ate committees he controls have high
pressured patriotic anti-Japanese out
of major jobs. The Philippine press,
as long as Macarthur was in the Phil
ippines, dared not denounce collabora-
tionists Censors forbade it.
The same censorship made it diff
cult to tell the story of the Philippines
to America. Nothing critical of Mac
Arthur was permitted to go out of the
Notwithstanding to correspon-
dents, to Filipinos, to men in the
army The prohibition, the latter said,
applied even to personal letters.
Macarthur publicly protesting no
interest in local politics, nevertheless
came up with strong demands of "un-
ity" whenever Pres. Sergio Osmena
was spurred into taking a course
against the collaborationists. Osmena,
a mild and aging patriot, has in most
cases succumbed to the pressure. He
withdrew appointments of cabinet
members who had been connected
with the various guerrilla movements.
He told correspondents it was diff
cult to say who was collaborationist
and who just an unwilling employee
of the Japanese who had to make
living.
Secretary of the Interior Harold L.
Ickes early in November gave the Fill
Pine people helping hand on the
drive to purge collaborators when he
publicly demanded such purge be-
fore the Philippines get their indepen-
dence. President Truman gave them
another boost when he approved a
bill of the Philippine congress but
made public a letter to Osmena de-
nouncing the collaborationists in the
Philippine congress and warning his
approval did not mean approval of
the collaborators.
But one thing neither Ickes nor Tru-
man mentioned: foreign economic
administration agreement to keep the
old economic royalists of the Philip
pines in power.
Minutes of the FEA meeting at
which this policy was agreed upon
circulated in Manila as long ago as
last August Under the FEAs arrange
ment, all civilian goods from the Unit
ed States would be shipped to the
firms that received the same goods
before the war and in the same pro-
portion. This plan was adopted frank
ly as scheme to maintain the status
quo. The people who ran the Philip
pines before the war are to run it aft
erwards, independence or no indepen-
dence.
The economic interests represented
by Lawyer Roxas, the friend of Mac
Arthur, are to be given the inside
track on food and the few consumer
goods that reach the Philippines. In
a war-devastated country like the Phil
ippines, possession of such goods
means control of the government.
Roxas and his former clients = the
interests of Macarthur, Andres Sori-
ano (ex-Spaniard, pro-Falangist, Amer

planning board that furnished war sup
plies to the Japanese, Roxas used to
be principal attorney for a financial
group that owned big mines in the
Philippines, mines in which MacArth-

of the Philippines, also owned stock.

Option 2 is guaranteed" 262 monthly
payments If she lives more than 262
months, she will receive payments I'M

ceive anything. But if she dies any

Option as the method of payment
the beneficiary cannot change to OPP
ton l. But if the serviceman desig-
mates Option 1, the beneficiary may
elect Option 2 instead provided the
election is made before payment under
Option l is begun.
Note that a beneficiary under 80
years of age is sure of life income
under Option 2 and is sure of only
24O go years. payments under OPP
ton /.
Guarantees" under Option range
from 304 payments at age 10 or under
to 267 at age 20. These, it will be
noted are larger numbers of monthly
payments than the $40 payments guar
anteed under Option 1.
Payments, however, are less per
month for those under 80 years of
age under Option than they are I'M
der Option 1. On a $4,000 policy
they will average almost 500 month
less under Option 2. Balanced against
this is the greater length of time
which they will be made. The differ
ence in amount of payment is quite
small, however, for beneficiaries over
80 years of age.
Your National Life Insurance
is Valuable
Most of the fellows when they went
into service took out a National Life
Insurance policy. Now, you can keep
that policy in force for five years from
the date it was issued, at the same
cost you paid for it while you were
in service l have verbal information
that this has now been extended three
years more. A letter addressed to
Collection Division, Veterans admin
istration, Washington, d. c.. will Sc
cure you full details on this. This is
important, you can change the policy
after it has been in effect for one
year to an ordinary life policy, a
twenty-pay life policy, or a thirty-pay
life policy, at higher premium. On
a twenty-pay life policy you pay for
20 years, and so forth. Premiums may
be paid once a year, twice a year,
four times a year, or every month
just as you like.
Don't let your National Life Insur-
ance policy lapse.
While you were in the service your
National Life Insurance premiums
were deducted from your pay. But
now that you're discharged, nobodys
going to look out for paying those
premiums unless you do it yourself.
Make your premium checks or money

NEW YORK, June 2-LP-1n a
game delayed one hour and %
minues by rain in the first half
of the ninth inning, the Cleveland
Indians shut out the New York
Yankees, so, today to even their
series at one game apiece.
Ed (Specs) Klieman, sophomore
hurler of the Tribe blanked the
first placers with six hits in his
first starting assignment of the
season.
Three singles in the second in
ming of Bernie Bonham, making
his first start in three weeks, fol-
lowing a layoff because of lame
back, gave the Indions their first
run. In the ninth, after play was
resumed after a long interlude

ham for five singles and three runs
before Emerson Roser stopped
them.

came in the final frame when the
