Press Staff Writer

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 10-P)-
An important conference took
place In Singapore the other day.
There Admiral Lord Louis
Mountbatten conferred with his
field commanders, including
French and Dutch commanders
who are under him in his vast
southeast Asia theater.
Two important decisions appear
to have been made. The first is
that the British job is done in
French Indo-China, where British
troops are preparing to withdraw
and leave the French to finish the
business Of SURPRISING local dis
turbances connected with a native
independence movement.
The second is the reported de-
cision to bring into the Dutch East
Indies whatever additional forces
may be necessary-both British
and Dutch-to finish the large job
that remains there.
In both cases it looks as though
Japanese troops still are used and
will continue to be used to help
maintain order for a while.
After a British statement that
japanese troops in Java would be
used only for defensive purposes
it was reported that a japanese
artillery battery was ordered te

quarters in Bandoeng, the summer
capital of Indonesia.
In French Indo-China reports say
that japanese troops will be main
tanned under arms to protect
French nationals stranded at iso-
lated points until enough French
troops arrive to handle the situa-
ton. Meanwhile other japanese
forces are being disarmed and con-
centrated at Cap St. Jacques near
Saigon.
The Indonesian situation is much
more up in the air. Native out
breaks continue in several places.
People are getting killed on all
sides-Indonesian Revolutionaries,
Eurasians, Dutch, and British
military personnel. The British re-

Thunderbolts to emphasize their
intention to do whatever is neces.

This program of restoring order,
according to British statement
issued after the Singapore confer
ence, is to be on the principle OF
restoring Dutch sovereignty, but
the statement takes note of the
native demand for independence
and self-government.
Details of the measures decided

Day By Day
BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS
NOT TOO SOLEMN

Once I sat beside DR.. Howard
A Kelly, the famous octoge-narian
surgeon and Bible teacher. I Was
more impressed by the kindly hui
man and humaness of the man
than by his admirable formal adj
dress. Later, reading over his
amazing record TO scientific
achievements in who's Who"
was fairly overwhelmed by con-
seriousness of the greatness that
had made him world famous.)
Simple, genial, democratic, giy-
en- to many a quip and jest, he
put behind his passionate teaching
of the Bible the weight of great
personality and the winsomeness
of a friendly man.
The wisest men
That e'er you ken,
Have never deemed it treason,
To rest a bit,
And jest bit,
And balance up their reason.
M. G. Kains.
Sunniness goes with saintliness.
Sour saints are an anomaly, Jesus

Editorial Comment


Specialization, or the socialized state offers
to the human creature all the blessings and
beauties of freedom from want, from fear
thereof, which this creature can conceive. and
the price of it is great or small according as
that creature has powers to measure. The
price is individual liberty. No man can be
free without taking the risk Of poverty and
hunger. No man has a right to a job that
he does not get for himself. In the socialized
state the creature Gin that state are no "citi-
zens';) has has the joys of horse or steer in a
blue grass pasture together with the oats and
meal and the warmth of the barn when night
comes. The socialized state cannot exist with
out master. Sometimes the master is kind
and sometimes he is no more than superior

PRIZE CONTRIBUTION
By Ronny Peters, II,
Central High School.

In March of last year, the District
Recreation Department presented a
tournament of one-act plays. AL
the recreation centers and play
grounds under supervision Of the
Recreation Department were invited
to compete. The plays were pre-
sented at Powell Junior High School.
I was a member Of the Columbia
Players, who presented the winning
play in the junior class, Elmer" "
A great deal of the credit for our
success in winning should go to Mrs.
Anna Honabach, supervisor of Co.
lumbia Playground, who directed
the play. She will also direct our
production this year.
Our group had lot of fun re-
hearsing Elmer" though, of course
it was hard work, too. The first
time we presented Elmer" it was
the last in a group of three plays
and things just seemed to keep hap
pening to Offset our performance
While on the stage, we could fee
the eyes of the judges on us, and
we kept wondering what they were
thinking. But when we made the
finals, we weren't so nervous, and
things seemed to 60 better. The
hardest thing we had to do was tc
wait for the judges decision.
The purpose of these tournaments
is to encourage children with dra-
matte ability and, at the same time
provide wholesome entertainment
