 Epic Of War

Aboard Adm. Turner's Flagship, Okinawa, April 19.-(UP)-Sailors died strapped to their gun seats in the agony of the wounded United States destroyer Laffey, another great ship that refused to be sunk.
 The gunners fired until they were swallowed up in the soaring flames of exploding Japanese suicide planes and bombs.
 In two hours the 2,200-ton de- stroyer was hit by six suicide planes and two bombs. Other bombs came close enough to increase the dam age.
 The ships rudder was damned to the left by a bomb and the vessel sped dizzily in circle during the raging battle. The engineers judged the speed needed by the sound and intensity of the gunfire

THE Koreans, first people to be
Il subjugated by the Japs in their
reach for world conquest, are observ-
ing this month the 26th anniversary
of their Declaration of Independ-
ence" against Japan.
On March /, 1919, they formed
the Korean Provisional Government
and proclaimed their purpose of re-
sisting Japan ceaselessly and tire
lessly until their lost liberty should
be regained.
Today tbiey are eagerly awaiting
the hour of revolt.
The Korean commission an
nounces from Washington that the
Korean people are awaiting only the
signal from the advancing forces of
democracy to rise and help destroy
their conquerors.
AS evidence that this is true and
that the Japs know it is true, the
commission cites a recent Tokyo
broadcast announcing that Korea
hereafter would receive "better po-
litical treatment" "a transparent at
tempt at Cancellation.
NOW this deep and lasting hatred
~ of the Koreans for the japanese
contrasts Interestingly with the
esteem and affection in which the
people of the Philippines hold the
people of the United States.
In Korea the Japs have had op-
portunities to win loyalty and conf.
dence equal to ours in the Philip
pines.
They have been in authority in
Korea since 1904, a few years after
we drove the Spaniards out of the
Philippines and raised the Stars and
Stripes.
Thus the Japs have had virtually
as much TIME to establish them
selves in the esteem of the Korean
people as we have had to gain the
regard Of the Filipinos.
Moreover, the japanese, being
Asiatics, should have had the advan-
tage over us of starting with an
understanding of Asiatic outlooks
and predispositions.
PUT in 40 years the Japs have
- created IN Korea only deep and

grimly waiting hatred, while Gen,
Macarthur and his American forces
have just been welcomed back to the
Philippines with grateful tears and
cheers and the active fighting assist
ance of the Filipines.
The reason for this contrast is
obvious.
The Japs have treated the
Koreans as a subject people, to be
exploited and enslaved without re-
gard to their individual rights and
their dignity as human beings. The
Japs have thought of Korea only in
terms of JAPAN'S advantage.
We, on the contrary, have joined
with the Filipinos in advancing their
we'll being, improving their living
standards; we have scrupulously pro-
tected their rights as individuals,
respected their dignity, helped them
to advance as individuals and as
nation.

ment of the Filipinos there is a lesson

MINISTRATION IN WASHING.
TON, now engaged in collaboration
with Great Britain and Russia, in an
attempt to shape and control the
postwar world.
We have DEALT HONESTLY
AND OPENLY with the Filipinos.
We have not promised them lib
erty in public and then agreed in
private to their enslavement.
We have not used them as chat
tells to be bartered in the shameful
deals of power politics, but have fol
lowed an undertaking course of
considering THEIR welfare and adj
vancing THEIR interests and help
ing them to realize THEIR hopes
and aspirations.
And since that course of conduct,
in addition to being so utterly right
and honorable, has also proved its
worth in the Philippines as a builder
of trust and friendship between
peoples, would not a similar course
be profitable in our dealings with
ALL small nations throughout the
World7

Light of the Future
BY BENJAMIN DE CASSERES


l. America lies in her glorious and glowing PAST
The movement inaugurated few years ago by the
Hearst newspapers to make American history required
subject in all statesupported and tax-exempt edu-
catonal institutions is producing concrete results
Senator Frederic E. Hammer of the New York
Legislature has introduced bill that directs courses of
instruction in American history in all the elementary and
high schools of the state.
The bill provides that no pupil shall be graduated
from any school unless he she has received instruction
in the history of this country and GIVES EVIDENCE
THEREOF
That latter provision vital and should be provided
for in every educational every state IN the
Union
TT Is not enough for boy or girl know dates and
the names of rivers.
That is NOT the history of the IT, S. A.
Our history and all that it means must be COMPRE-
HENDED.
Our students must know not only the how of their
nationalsm but the why.
- The genius, the soui of this countryis INDIVIDUAL
LIBERTY,
1t is ANTItotaltaran in any form.
1t is congenitaly anti-communistic, antfascistic,
anti-sociaistc.
That is what pupils must not only comprehend
but feel.
They must feel that the roots of their Americanism
ntertwined with the roots of the men of 171o and
1889.
A T THE same time that New York State asked to
of MARYLAND adopted curriculum which makes
American history government, civilization and literature
in ALL it's departments the predominant and almpor-
tant study.
This has been inspirngy called "a curriculum in
American civilization"
That is also what We sadly need our schools col
leges and universities study of American civilization
The heads of pupils have been crammed with
Roman, Greek, Babylonan English, French German and
atterly Russian socaed civilization but what do they
know of American civilization the civilization in the
world that the euination and of all that went
before?
Why, TIE very words American civilization have an
unfamiliar sound to most pupils.
1t is, of course, necessary to know the history OF
other nations.
But those particularly of dictator-rldden
countries like Germany and Russia-should be taught
with American history background.
OUR school children students in colleges and UNI
" versties should be first deeply socketed and
grounded in the and that made the L. s A.
in the doctrines of Jefferson Washington Madison Paine
Lincoln and Grover Cleveland.
They should be as familiar with the works of Jefer-
son with the Constitution and with PAST way OF LIE
as they with daily events.
Our American past must be made continuous lly
ing PRESENCE in the BRAIN the heart and the blood OF
all people
Let ALL the states begin NOW aggressive, COM

institutions.

OF the use Of radio by

These have been New Deal

as far as my reading of them

nor hostile to totalitarianism, as
such.
