Use Of Mediterranean

It is inconsistent with the situation in post
war Europe for Britain to exercise exclusive
control Of the Mediterranean. Its waters are
broad enough to share among other nations
deserving their use without hindrance and
without Gripping Britain's life line
Only in event of another great war might
Britain be under handicap and in view of the
atomic bombs existence it is to be doubted
that Britain or any other nation could hold
exclusive sway within its bordering territory.
Russia has long wanted a Mediterranean
outlet which may be used twelve months q
year, in contrast with its own northern ports.
Moscow's support of rito's demand for Trieste
Is alleged in some quarters to have sprung
from this desire, although it is so far from
the Soviet Union it is difficult to see what
advantage would attach to Yugoslav contorl.
However, now that Trieste is to be interna-
tionalized by action of the Conference of For
eign Ministers in London it would seem that
Russia should go all out for passage into the
Mediterranean by way Of the Dardanelles into
the Aegean.
II necessary, the Foreign Ministers could in
ternationalize this narrow outlet, since it has
established precedent for such action by its
decision concerning Trieste. Russia has well
earned free. access to the Mediterranean by
her performance in the European war.

HONOLULU - up - It seems

cephalographician to do whatever
guy like that does.
1t must be important, because for

one of the six most critically need

1t makes him shudder yet to

Lately Joe has been interviewing
lots of people going home, liberated
prisoners, high-pointers, conquering
Generals and suchlike, and all the
time he's been worrying about this
poor punk who can't so home.
So he decided to go interview
him, give him pat on the back
and say: mice work old boy. Don't
know how we woulda won the war
if it hadn't been for guys like you.''
He went over to an Army general
hospital and let EN- have it.
What's an electromagnetic

pretty receptionist. She blinked,

repeated the question. B.
'Huh!'' snorted. the Lieutenant.

However, a~few M nutes later he
decided Joe was all right. so. he

Editorial Comment
NOT THE SECOND LONGEST

Wide publicity has been given to the report
that President Truman's message to Congress
was the second longest" in the history OF
the country. The message contained 10000
words. But when the researchers got busy
after that report was first published. they
found that President Theodore Roosevelt sent
five messages to Congress that exceeded 20,
600 words each, and the Mr.. Humans mes
sage was not as long as any of theree messages
submitted to Conoress by President Taft in
1910 1911 and 1912. Winston-Salem Journal.

if you were strong enough, you
might climb back up the face of the
cliff to your starting point, holding
to limbs or branches along the way.
Rivers flow between many of the
cliffs. Natives often build rattan
bridges over the rivers. These are
made with the help of strong strands
of rattan, from one to two inches
thick. Several of these strands are
tied to trees at either side of the
stream. and then serve as bridge
Now and then we may find rattan
suspension bridge from $50 to 200
feet long.
The first white men to visit Cele-
bes were Portuguese. About a GEN.
tury later Dutch sailing vessels
started to go there for trading pur-
poses. For the past 200 years, Hol-
land has held control over Celebes
nearly all the time. In 1912 the
island was overrun by soldiers OF
Japan.
Classed as one of the Dutch East
Indies, Celebes is little larger than
the six New England States COM
bined. Yet it has only about one

Uncle Roy's Corner

Between Borneo and New Guinea
there is an island of very odd shape
1t is known as Celebes, the name be-
ing pronounced "SELL-eh-bees."
Celebes is made up of four penin-
sulas. Its greatest length is about
800 miles If you try to find point
far from the coast. you will have a
hard time Nowhere can you reach
a place which is as much as 10
miles from the sea.
Many mountains rise on Celebes
but none of them are tall enough TO
be covered with snow. This is
jungle country, and trees and bushes
grow on all the mountains.
1t is dangerous to fall over cliff
anywhere, but if you must do that
you might choose Celebes as a place
for the accident. The mountains
have sheer cliffs which drop 500
feet or more.
The faces of the cliffs are covered
with plant life. If you fell over the
brink of one of them, your fall would
oe broken, and very likely you could
cling to a strong bush or tree. Then,
