Terror in Formosu?
'ithin recent davs Americc

Within recent days Amerlcc =
respondents in China have ed
shocking news dispatches regarding
the Chinese Nationalist regime in
Formosa. Although not eyewitness
accounts, the dispatches seem to be
based on believable sources of in
formation. If only half true, they
call for the sternest and promptest
kind of corrective action by General
issimo Chang Kai-shek.
In summary, the dispatches
charge as follows: That after year
and "a half of misrule by their Chi
neSe ''liberatorS"-a misrule far
worse than anything imposed by the
Japanese-the Formosans staged re-
bellious demonstrations late in Feb
ruary; that General Chen vi, Cen
eralissimo Chiang's governor gen.
eral, thereupon struck back with
savagery of the worst kind; that this
savagery took the form of unspeak-
able atrocities and sheer terrorism
against helpless and unarmed men
and women; that Nationalist troops
under Chen's command, in an orgy
of looting, shooting and rapine,
killed anywhere from 5000 to 10000
persons; finally, that Chen sent his
secret agents to Shanghai to ter
rorize into silence Formosan dele
CATION intent upon petitioning the
Chang government for a redress of
grievances.
AS reported to date to the Ameri-
can people, this story remains un-
documented. Nevertheless. it has
come to us from reputable corre-
spondents, and its credibility is
further supported by unofficial but
reliable" statements in Nanking
that Generalissimo Chang has
asked for and received the resigna-
tion of General Chen. If events in
Formosa have been half as bad as
described, however, more than that
will be needed to undo the stupid
and ghaStly evil that has been done
There will have to be a complete
house cleaning, and the Formosans
whose island passed to the Japa-
nese In 1895-will have to be shown
that the Chinese know how to gov
ern, and really intend to govern,
with decency and justice.
Certainly assuming that our cor
Evening star., 1947-04-06

respondents have been substantially
correct, the Chang government
cannot afford to take half measures
or to display indifference in situa-
ton of this sort. It cannot afford
to have the hate. instead Of the
good will, of the people Of Formosa.
It cannot afford to let its subordi-
nate officials outrage world public
opinion-particularly opinion here
in America, where Nanking seeks
special support and where special
support has been offered in good
faith to promote a better order sin
China and throughout Asia.

The Third Day Comes

is gone: the musician Is back. The
third day comes.
an that faith the Christian Church
around the world steadfastly has re-
fused to turn its back upon the blaze
OF Easter and to face toward the
biackness OF q paganistic state cult
which cares nothing for the tndivid-
ual. The juggernaut Of the police
state, crushing individual lives like
stones pulverized into dust on q con-
queror's way; the wine-press OF
totalitarian tyranny, crushing the
grapes OF individualism In red
goblet to make 4 state drunk with
power, is contrary to all that Easter
reveals and proclaims. The gospel Of
the third day vetoes all that. It
declares that all worthy social rela-
tionships involve high individuals
ism, sense of the incalculable and
the imperishable worth Of each
human soul. That makes Easter the
most revolutionary doctrine in the
world today.
When the third day came, life
suddenly revealed itself to those first
disciples in a glory that took their
breath away and smote them to their
knees In awe and rapture. Immor-
tality became not just gateway to
another existence, but shining glory
to illumine the life that now is.
-
The breath-taking revelation that
humbled, and exalted the disciples
was not just that Immortality guar
anteed continuation of life on the
other side of what is called death.
It was eternal life as present pos
session which was the burning center
of their message. The third day
proved that no Roman stone or seal
could barricade the tomb of God. And
so at empty graves that seem SO final,
white winged angels now as on the
first Easter whisper the vindication
of eternal righteousness, the declara-
ton that the heart of the universe
is spiritual. In the perpetual con-
f1ict between good and evil, light and
darkness, God and the demons, of
which human history is the arena,
bright shoots Of everlastingness are
darting through, into this world Of
suffering and confusion, sin and
death.
We fight the good fight in the
assurance Of the third day. The
power which broke through on that
first Easter morning will never in
the darkest of Dark Ages fail nor
be discouraged. One day this will
be the earth of the redemption and
the resurrection. And so in the thick
of the strife, when for the hour
truth seems crushed to earth and
error enthroned, and when at length,
soon or late, ebbs out our little day
and we and our loved ones enter the
valley of the shadow, and the stone
of mortality is pushed against the
waiting sepulcher. even then we will
fear no evil. For through the dark
night we hear the trumpet call for
the singing Easter of the soul. And
the third day comes!

pointed by the Civil Service Commission.
Much therefore depends upon the caliher
of the men selected by the commission
for this important assignment. The
task is one which requires the members
of the board not only to be of unim-
peachable standing. but to have had suf-
ficient experience at the bar or on the
bench to know what evidence has pro-
bative force. Above all, they should be
men whose judgment will not be af-
fected by the crossfire Of criticism which
will be directed at any findings on the
explosive issues with which they must

on Gods calendar. always, the
third day comes. History shouts
that as we listen, not to the hours
but to the centuries. With periods
heavy with finality the hour has

But in the dawning the angel OF
the third day rolls away the stone
from sepulchered truth and. once
more, in radiant robes it is free in
the world.
The trumpets of triumph may be

before judge One stood whose life
is the light Of men. Plate himself
is rescued from oblivion solely be-
cause OF his brief contact with Jesus
Of Nazareth. Long ago the world
was through with PLATE, symbol OF

even our modern world, is not

through without Him.
Every cross lifted on altar or

sent the crucifixion of love by men

away, and am still waiting. There
Is no other way out of human misery
than this: Whose believes in violence

long run it is only love that does not
fail" For love always the third day
comes.
o arrogant dietators, o exploiting
capitalists, your wares of selfish
trickery all have been tried before;
but trickery does not work; it may
command the first day, but not the
third. Governments resting on other
shoulders than those of the Strong
Son of God are doomed. Organized
Ill will, tyranny, violence. coercion,

for any such system. The sacredness
of individual personality is against

against it. God is against it; His

ton was attributed to one of these "in-

the matter further inquired about his

bureau was that 1t could not be revealed.
While this policy was understandable in
situations i'll which To or T-3 was an
informant planted by the FBI in some
Communist cell, the policy was COM
pletely successful In frustrating any
possibility of removal proceeding. Less
understandable was the practice Of list
ing all the interviewees as "conhden-
tiaI infsrmants" since most Of them
neither asked that their names be held
in confidence nor gave any confidential
information. While this atmosphere Of
mystery was defended by the bureau
on the theory that people receiving as
surances that their identity would not
be revealed would talk more freely, under
those conditions many also talked loosely.
It is to oe hoped that under the new
order the Attorney General will insist
that the bureau correct this practice.

Rate Changes
Explained To
Oh a m Der

A review Of the proposed new
rate schedule for TIE Chesapeake
and Potomac Telephone Company
was given by Mr.. w. X. Hodges
of the local office to the members
of the Rockville Chamber of Com
merce on Monday evening.
In outlining the necessity 1,r
the rate raise, Mr.. Hodges said
that the cost of living for business
had gone up. Telephone poles and
switch boards for instance, ar
IS per cent higher, the payroll
215 per cent higher and buildings
80 per cent higher. He also said
that it is 20 years since the las
rate increase and in that time, 3
number of reductions had been
made.
Because of the community inter
est between Rockville and Gath
ersburg, toll charges will be drop

Charter Board
Asks Tenth
@ ueS tiOn

Should County Civil Service be
managed by one man or by a
board of three or more?
The 1914 Charter provided for
a three-man board to classify
county jobs, establish qualifica-
tions, make regulations, etc.
By a 1915 local law we have a
one man Civil Service Commits
sioner to do the job instead of a
board. He receives $4,000 year
while the board was to serve with
out pay.
The Charter Board would like
to know the opinions of voters on
which method is preferable, and
also whether board should serve
without pay. Write or telephone
your views to Norman B. Ames,
George Rust Candy, Howard P.
Bailey, William C. Hanson OF
James ]. Hayden.
