OUR PUBLISHER
BY ELIAS LEWIS

This poem I'm writing is all about him,
Who readily agrees to our every whim.
His paper to him is just like food,
We never find him in a sullen mood.
He's always so helpful to our staff,
If it's a joke, he's ready to laugh,
His hair is gray, his face shows youth, !,
When he speaks it's always the truth.
You can't help liking Mr.. Checri Kanaan,
We all agree he's a darn good man,
He uns his paper like a publisher should,
The work he does is guaranteed to be good.
Our publisher we know, has a family of
two,
When going to church they share the same
pew.
He's father and mother to his two boys,
In the attic he still has their toys.
Of course, the boys are older now,
And big enough to lift a cow.
Their toys in the attic will always stay
To bring back memories when they're
away.
Being a publisher, is no easy job,
It's not like eating corn on the cob,
You've got to work from morn till night,
And never stop till you get it right.
You can see that his job is tough,
Because when working, you've more
thar enough.
But this is his life and in his heart,
He knows from this he'll never part.
Let's drink a toast to a man like him,
And hope his dreams will never dim,
Well back you up cause we like your style,
We're all in love with your friendly smile.

the possibility of a $500, 900 600 loan
and also was requested to send along
its figures.
The United States, meanwhile.
held out fresh bid today for Rus

Most of the immigrants are

Japan has been trying to stop
the practice by operating police
patrol boats in the strait, but main
ly the Japanese craft are con-

powered smuggling vessels and
never win chase. The Japanese

the city of Mayenne, the expression
of our profound gratitude for the
honor you are paying to an Ameri-
can brother-in in arms who died on!

token of appreciation to Pvt. Mac
racken's family His widow is Mrs.

U.S.. 10 Defer Decision
.0f Future Government
For Pacific Islands
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

Without the formality of meet
ing. the four member Cabinet Com
mittee has decided to defer indefi-
nitely all decisions on the future
government of Pacific islands under
United States control.
Disclosing this to reporters today,
Secretary of Interior Krug said 1t
represents reversal of his depart
ment's previous position.
The committee, composed of the
Secretaries Of State, War, Navy and
Interior, was appointed by President
Truman last October with instruc-
tions to consider the type of govern
merft to be set up on islands now
under United States control or to
be acquired later as result of the
war.
Presumably involved are Guam
and American Samoa, along with
some possible Japanese islands.
The Navy has governed Guam and
Samoa ever since they were ACQUIRED
by this country. Mr.. Krug's prede.
cessor. Harold L. Ickes, was a Wig
orous champion of civil government
and sharply critical Of the Navy's
administration.
Mr.. Krug said that while the
cabinet committee never held a
meeting, a subcommittee had met.
with representatives of the State
War and Navy Departments favor
ing delay until 1t is decided exactly
what islands this country is to con-
troll. The Interior Department dis
sented, contending that principles"
OF government should be determined
without delay.
Mr.. Krug added that he now had
Joined the three other departments
in their position.
The Interior chief said he per-
sonally favors a civil government
for islands populated primarily by
civilians and a military government
for those primarily military.
I'VE might have some fights in de-
Gliding who is to govern what
islands" Mr. Krug remarked. but
there is no use In picking those
fights until they come up"
