seven years, has knife stuck in her
back.
That knife was made in Yenan,
the capital of Communist China.
But the handle of the knife was
made IN MOSCOW.
Not in those exact words, but
substantially that is the message that
the one Chinese who knows his coun-
try best is giving to the rest of the
world in a book, "The Vigil Of
Nation" published by John Day.,
just off the press The author is the
famous DR.. Lin Yutang.
DR.. Yutang was in China from
September, 1913, to March, 1914, and
this book is his uncensored report on
his own people.
4e-devotes many pages to the
Communist assassins of China's
aspirations to be a free democracy.
HERE in an instruction from a
H Communist army corps issued
on May 16, 1910, we get a full-face
view of the manner in which the Reds
are massacling their feltow-country-
men:
''l-Give the troops in Shansi and
Suiyuan the label of pacifists, and
gradually ELIMINATE THEM.
"2-BOre the central 'guerillas'
from within and then plan to
DESTROY THEM ONE AFTER
ANOTHER.
"3-Av0id direct frontal clashes
with central regular troops for the
present. Split them politically and
watch for an opportunity to De
STROY THEM AT A STROKE"
That is treason at its lowest ebb.
Here is what DR.. Yutang found
out;
The Communist expansion they
are now Boosting about has not been
a peaceful expansion, but one
achieved by armed struggle and
'blOOdshed.' The Communist stats
tics must be read afresh. For every
Japanese they claim to have killed
THEY HAVE KILLED AT LEAST
FIVE CHINESE. For every town
they have captured from the Japa-
nese THEY HAVE Capt. RED 80
TOWNS FROM OTHER CHINESE.

NOW after three terrible years of
~ japanese occupation, Manila
and it's people are found in the same
tragic condition - more sorely af-
flicted, if possible, than before.
But this time the Americans have
come back to a different situation in
the Philippines.
The vital difference is in the
hearts of the people of the Philip
pines.
Half a century ago they thought
the coming of the Americans was
only the coming of new oppressors.
But throughout their terrifying
ordeal of the last three years they
have been sustained by their UNI
quenchable faith that the Americans
would not only come back again
but that their ultimate and inevitable
return would make them free again.
Nowhere in all this world today,
nowhere in all human history, is
there another example of the brother
hood of man better than that illus
trated by the American return to the
Philippines and the acceptance of
their return by the people of the
Philippines.
Truly it has been said of the
American flag, as the people of the
twice liberated Philippines may now
attest, that it was "born in heaven. "
GEORGE WASHINGTON said on
" the occasion of his first glimpse
Of the beautiful flag of his country:
"A netU constellation has arisen
Uhich shall shortly flame Wi d e
through the skies"
The fulfllment of that prediction
is in Manila today, in the glad and
grateful hearts of it's people.
This is one of the great moments
Of world history one of the inspiring
and beautiful moments in which the
good dreams and high hopes of man
are made real-for that is what the
restoration of Manila means to It's
own valiant and faithful people, and
to all men of good will.

las and regular units.
IS A GAINST their claim to have
"A held down 100000 Japanese
troops and 100000 puppet troops in
the occupied areas must be counted
the fact that THEY HAVE HELD
DOWN HALE MILLION CHI
NESE SOLDIERS HOLDING
DOWN THE SAME JAPANESE
AND THEIR PUPPETS IN THE
SAME AREAS.
Alongside of their vOciferOuS
criticisms of the absence of free
press in Chungking and their ener-
getic demand for national unity, the
Chinese Communists and their
American fellOw-travelers shrink
from giving us some idea of the free
press in Yenan and the facts of this
civil war as they see it,"
That is the knife in the back of
struggling China-and the Allies
that we spoke of above.
How. do these Moscow-spawned
Chinese Reds rule in their own
provinces? Let DR.. Lin Yutang
tell us:
THE Chinese Communist regime
has been able to mobilize manpower
and resources more thoroughly than
the Chungking government because
its control of the peoples lives is
more rigid.
1T has no freedom of speech, no
freedom of belief; il rules by regi-
mentation and By TERROR, by
secret agents and local cOmmissars
in the army and in civil admiRistfa-
tons; it goes through the farce of
packed popular elections; it ter
rOrizes the population that dares to
dissent or refuses TO cooperate; it
enforces complete party discipline !;
the party dominates everything and
party members have exalted priv
ileges; it carries out 'purges' and
'liquidations' in a drastic and UNI
scrupulOus manner, and finally re-
places the landlord and employer
with the state as the master"
This is why China is not able to
do her full "bit."
And that is a picture also of what
Europe will be like when the Red
knife stabs the PROSTATE peoples Of
Europe

history.
It is already one of our greatest
moral triumphs.
It has restored the American flag
to position from which it had sym
bolized the freedom and dignity Of
mankind for nearly half a century,
and from which it fell three years
ago to the sorrow and humiliation of
all civilized people.
It has accomplished the liberation
of more than three thousand civilian
prisoners of the japanese, a salvage
of precious human lives of which all
of the American people had dreamed
but for which few had hoped.
1t is a grand humanitarian and
spiritual triumph for these things, if
for nothing else-and of course its
great moral significance goes in.
finitely beyond even these wonderful
things.
THE restoration of freedom and
Il dignity to so great and important
a city as Manila, to so fine and
beautiful a land as the Philippines
and to such an honored and respected
and beloved a people as the Filipinos
is one of the conspicuous events Of
world history.
This is the second time within
the span of half a century that
American forces of military occupa-
tion have had such a meaning to the
city of Manila, to the Philippine
Islands and to the valiant Filipino
people.
On both of these historic oCca
sions the coming Of the American
forces Of occupation has meant the
driving out of tyranny, the raising
Of the chains Of bondage from
brave and anguished people
On both occasions, the Americans
have come not only as hberators but
on an errand Of sympathetic and
compassionate humanity.
On the first occasion, nearly half
a century ago, when the Americans
lifted the centuries old weight Of op.

NEW YORK - Though they've
never tasted southern fried chicen.
Yankee bean soup or pumpkin pie,
these American taste-tempters are
old hat, by hearsay, to New Zealand
brides of American servicemen.
They've been learning by long
distance what life is like in the land
they've adopted by marriage thi ough
the monthly dispatches sent to their
Eagles Club paper by Marine Sgt.
Walter Nyes New Zealander bride.
who is living in Washington While
her husband is attending officers
school at Quantico, Virginia.
The Eagles Club, organized for
wives and SWeethearts of the Yanks
by Mrs. Nye in May, 1943, in her
home town of Wellington, now has
some $50 members. Many of them
came over with Mrs. Nye in the
first boatload of brides which ar
rived in San Francisco several
weeks age. The others are eagerly
waiting for passage and Mrs. Nye's
dispatches of Americana.
Once here, this attractive eX-
school teacher and daughter of a
wellington banker, lost no time in
filling in her Eagles Club friends
on American cookery, which she
learned while visiting her husbands
folks in Boise, Idaho. Walters
mother gave me an cid family recipe
for chicken, even to a diagram for
cutting it up," she beamed enthu-
siastically.
Next to cooking, clothes interest
the girls back home most, young
Mrs. Nye says. She warns them that
typical New Zealand tWeeds and
sweaters aren't needed here be-
cause central heating keeps houses
and hotels too hct for New Zealand

efS.
Her advice to them is not to waste
money for large wardrobes because
the American clothes slant is hard
to get by remote control. What one
person tells a bride to bring may be
all wrong for the section of the
country she may be visiting.
But Mrs. Nye thinks New Zealand
girls won't have to make violent
changes to get along with people
here. She says with her diary packed
away she can't remember the things
that seemed unusual at first, ex-
cept little things, like tea.
AT home," Mrs. Nye says, I'D
have tea at O'Clock in the morning,
with my breakfast about 8, again at
10 80, then with lunch, and again
at 'o.30, then with dinner, and later
with supper Restaurants here use
tea-bags, which I don't like, so I
miss my tea. YOU see we drink all
day long, but we don't seem to eat
as much as you do. I've Put on
pounds here"
Mrs. Nye, housed precariously in
Washington, says although she liked
Boise's resemblance tc an English
town, she and her husband don't
know where they'll settle. She has
lived in England where her accent
(Which sounds British to us) led
people to ask what part of America
she was from. Though she may
never leturn to Australia she eX-
poets her family over for a visit as
socn as wars end makes it possible.
Meanwhile, she says, We'll keep
our Eagles Club going now that
we're in the States, not that we
want to be different, but we want to
keep up with addresses so we can
visit when we travel which sounds
like good old American custom.
