cHINEsE-JAp PEACE. TWENTY YEARS LATE

Nationalist China and the Republic Of japan formal.
resumed diplomatic relations this month when the two
exchanged treaty ratification instruments
marking the end of of hostile relations It is ironical
that over 20 years after the Japanese first moved into
Manchuria and gave the world the first warnings of
World War II, the peace is reached between two coun-
tries who have both been defeated by forces stirred up
during World War II.
The Japanese it seems who turned the fury of their
armed forces China which seemed the easiest target
available the time would have done better to have d
xected their attention to the Russian front in Manchura
Traditional enemies the Russians proted most in the
between Japan and China and today they control the
Chinese mainland and threaten JAPAN
The tragedy of the war between japan and China is
best demonstrated by the fact that Japan faces
hostile China and hostile Russia while the Chinese Ma
tonaists have been completely pushed off the mainland
The Chinese incident which, to the japanese seemed
easy grab, turned out to be little complicated than
it first appeared

Such things aren't too important.
however. What I really took ex-
ception to was your statement that
people with complaints need only
come before the county commits

Wake up, Joe!
You and ! are near the same

I've always admired you as a

consider to be rather unethical.
Joe, you were unfair to invite
the letter writer to come before
the commission and talk publicly
on subjects that you would not
dare to mention yourself. know
because I can come before your
commission and / can name names,
dates, and events of a local nature

third party became heated and involved DR.. George

He then left the platform. But then another group,

that it will suffer the fate that suffered by all

Pair Defeats Varela--
Van Team In Finals
Of City Tournament
I'm Close Match Wed.

Bob Robson and John McNulty
are the newly crowned doubles
kings of Key West. In well de-
served victory of well played
match they defeated the strong
doubles combination of Peter Ware
la, present city singles champion,
and Coach Van 6-2, 81, SO. The
match was as fine as was antiei
pated as both teams volleyed beau
tifully and made many beautiful
ground strokes and defensive shots
The Robison-McNulty duo was just
a bit mere consistent than their
opponents and were helped a great
deal by their superiority in height
and reach.
The only player not playing quit
up TO par was City champion Ware
la as his service was weaker thar
usual and his forehand drive die
not show its usual sting and ac
curacy. Coach Van played his us
ual game and had Pete pulled his
game up to the heights it is cap
able of, an upset could have been
accomplished. However the under
dogs fought their hearts out all the
way and it is certainty that only
outstanding tennis could have beat
en- the mighty Robson McNulty
team.
The first set was pretty one
sided. Coach Van held his first ser.
vice to start the match, but this
was the only point in which the
losers held the lead. Robisons pow
er shots were all working and the
winners showed some OF the finest
doubles ever seen in Key West.
The second set was different
Coach Van won his first service
again and yarela finally held his
as the underdogs ran off to Al
lead. They brought the score to So
and then things almost got out OF
hand. Losing three games in
row in which they held the lead in
all, the varela-Van combination
loked like 1t had fallen apart
However Varela held service in the
eleventh game as Coach Van made
two fine volley placements and
Varela made two beautiful shots
In the twelfth game to break Nc
Nuity's service and win the set.
All this playing was Of no avail
hawever as the winners swept
through the last set. An. interior.
ence replay d Vans first service,
which was beauty, started the
losers off on the wrong foot. Coach
Van lost his service after the re
play and the beginning lead was
ali the winners needed. Robson
losened up to his best game and
although the losers fought with
grim senacitY they did not have the
game to stop the steady salyo at
beautiful tennis which came off the
rackets Of the new champions. The
Winners are fine team and Key
West should be proud to have two
such worthy champions.
