Graph should be located on the
side of the house that gets the
most sun during the day and built
and framed around a basement
window to allow for circulation OF
warm air from the basement TO

the way to true and final peace. F"
The supre me commander
lauded American soldiers for

it stunned tn e m into new

He particularly praised the
restraint with which the Amer
leans treated their former en-
emies, rather than emulating
the ruthlessness of the Japanese
when they were victorious.
The American victory, Mac
Arthur said, was "a triumph
for the concept of the complete
indignation of three dimensions
of war - ground, sea and air.
Xxx The great lesson for the
future is that success in the art
of war depends on the complete
