The Holy Bible
By HARRY SCHLACHT


We can see Him in the change of the seasons;
in the planting and the harvesting, in the
wealth Of the summer and the autumns
rich content; in the unfailing reproduc-
tion year after year of earths beauteous
largess to sustain the human family.
We can see how into every perfumed violet
and noxious weed, and climbing vine and
towering oak, there is wrapped the secret
of natures life.
We can see how the rugged rock and shining
sun mingled with the rain and soil color
the delicate tints that smile from the rose
and bulwark with strength the sturdy
granite of the forest.
DEAUTY and riches of the earth was de-
- signed by God for all men. HE has be-
queathed magnificent heritage to man.
All things that make for happiness of the
human race are embraced in His gift to
His children on the morning of Creation.
How happily man could have lived on this
beautiful earth. He needed not the
teaching of the Bible. He drew the iron
from the bosom of the earth not to make
of it useful plow but a destructive
sword.
Mother esrth was stained with the red blood
of war.
For man needed not the teachings of the Bible
LNArTH in God is the lifeline Of humanity.

THESE
DAYS
ASIA FOR THE AsIATICs

AT THE beginning of this
"A war, publisher asked me
about book on the Far East;
/ replied that the only i'm
portant and fundamental book
that could be written would be
one entitled, Asia for the
Asiatics."
II was obvious that, win or
lose, the Japanese had at Pearl
Harbor, Singapore, Hongkong
and Shanghai, stimulated a be-
lief that no Asiatic nation need
subordinate itself eternally TO
the authority of the European.
In every Asiatic country a
heritage of anlmoSity exists
against some European country,
or a combination of them. which
will not die down because IL is
too well founded in fact.
Certainly, the Indonesians
have no reason 10 love the

the present revolt il put down.
IL is only matter of time be-
fore IL will bubble up again.
Similarly, the British can re-
store their authority in Singa-
pore and Hongkong. but il will
be for only as long as political
necessity keeps within bounds
the anger of both Malay and
Chinese at the absurdity of for
eign enclsves in their countries.
The days Of white" domina-
ton are over and the sooner
that is realized, the less trou-
bled the world will be.
WELL, the publisher did not
w want that kind of book.
What he did want apparently
was something that would say
that all Japanese were beasts
incarnate and that all those on
the Allied side were angels in
heaven-some such rubbish as
the Owl would approve and the
writer's war board would ar
range TO have a chorus of paens
sung over.
Yet, il is the truth that no
Asiatic country is less anti
European than the Japanese
were when they could afford
10 he anything.
Certainly the Chinese are not
going TO restore extra terri
toriality, or concessions and set
Elements; nor will they make IL
easy for foreign companies to
operate without Chinese part
ners, nor will the glorious days
of Peking and Shanghai he
restored when every European
and American was a little king
by divine right.

in area and population as Hol-
