Reasons to Be Thankful

Many thousands of words are written
and spoken at this time Of year in
Thanksgiving for many things, such as
food, health, and other material COM
forts And yet, with all this thanks
giving for our own blessings, let us not
permit it to blind us to the fact that
many other people are not so fortu-
nate Much more important than all
our thankfulness for our own happi-
ness is an understanding of the un-
happiness of others.
Let us be thankful for all the good
things on earth, yes; but let us also be
thankful above all for everything that
gives better insight into the things
that are not so good.
Let us be thankful for food, but also
for hunger, because it should help us
to remember there are those who are
still hungry; thankful for homes, but
thankful also that we can understand
what it means to be homeless; thank
full for health. but thankful also for
our illnesses if they make us under
stand the suffering of others; thank
full for joy. but also for sorrow if it
makes us more sympathetic toward the
sorroWing; thankful for peace of mind,
but also for worry if it helps us to un-
derstand those who have no peace of
mind. Yes, let us be thankful for all
the good and beautiful things in the
world, but let us not be insensible to
the fact that there are many people
who are less fortunate, more unhappy,
and for whom life holds little beauty
So, let us be thankful not only for
our own happiness, but also for our un-
happiness. because only by suffering
ourselves can we understand the suffer-
ing of others. Let us be thankful not
only for our material blessings, but
much more thankful for all those ex-
periences that give us better under
standing of others, experiences that
make us slow to condemn. quick to for
give, and help us to live the words of
the great Teacher who said, "A new
commandment give unto you, that ye
be kind one to another"

PROGRESS in FAR EAST.

There are encouraging signs from the Far East, es-
pecaly in China that colonial powers are Awaken
ing to the demands Of modern times and the threat Of
the Communists France has sent new note to the gov
oments Of the three associated countries comprising
French Indo-China
The note promised that France was now ready to
grant these colonial people freedom holding out
the probability Of eventual independence for the three
countries This action Is in line with recommendations
from the House Foreign Affairs committee and in accord
with the recommendations Of most native observers who
have expressed opinion on the dangerous situation
facing the old-time colonial powers in Asia.
Americans understand the sympathies Of colonial
peoples more readily than do many Europeans whose
countries have maintained proited from colonies for
many centuries. Il not too many years ago that the
American Colonies under the British crown. and
only revolution, which came fortunately when the
British were heavily engaged with number of other
powerful adversares, freed the American Colonies

There is little doubt that Communism seeks to CAPT
talize everywhere in the world the colonial system
and its abuses While Communism is much sitter poison.

The group which made the report included two rep

staff members Of the Senate Appropriations committee

question whether the French Government would ever be
able TO balance is budget BY collecting the

are u favor Of quick end to the foreign aid

Governments 70 collect reasonable taxes from French

following years are: 1919: go;
