FROM
WHERE

BY VINCENT s. BAKER

NEW YORK (GlobaD - AS we
approach September End - the
.tenth anniversary of the formal
Japanese surrender aboard the bat
tleship Missouri - it might be well
to recall the reason for our going
to war.
The Japanese attack on Pearl
Harbor was the occasion rather
than the cause of our entry. The
cause was more profound, more
significant. The rulers of Germany,
Italy and Japan planned to con-
quer and enslave the whole world
- nothing less. Hitler said on one
occasion: 1.-TWO worlds are in con-
flict, two PHILOSOPHERS of life. One
of these two worlds must break
asunder." And on another: "Na-
tional Socialism alone is destined
to liberate the American people
from their ruling clique and give
them back sthe means of becoming
a great nation"
These were not idle threats. Had
the Germans been able to conquer
Britain and seize the British Navy,
they and the japanese would have
ruled the seas. The slave labor of
the whole Eastern Hemisphere
could have out-produced us. Long
range bombers could have paved
the way for invasion of this coun-
try by forces transported over
Axis-controlled seas. Nor were we
safe from fifth column = spies,
Bundists, and native American Fas-
cists were hard at work even be-
fore 1889. .
Thus, considerations of national
security made American entry into
the war inevitable. The vast ma
jority of Americans understand
this. But once in while, the truth
should be retold, lest it be distort-
ed and forgotten.

Notes From
Bermuda

HAMILTAN, Bermuda (GlobaD
- The Summer Of 1855 could well
be called the year of the return of
many Bernrudans who have spent
years in the United States. Mrs.
Mary Williams, who left here many
vars, and has reached the grand
age of 100 years, flew in last week,
accompanied by her physician. DR..
Arthur Thornly, and her two chill
dren Joseph, and Mrs. Susan
Charves, all of Montclair, New
Jersey. The Grand Lady is really
very good trouper. She showed
no particular signs of fatigue aft
er her long flight. Mother Will
liams was last here some three
years ago, and said then that she
would return when she reached the
100 mark, God being willing.
Miss Alice Simmons, another
Grand Lady who left here some
years ago, and resides in Hacken-
sack, New Jersey, came aver, ac-
companied by her niece and neph-
ew-in-law, Mr.. and Mrs. Basil
Trottman, also of Hackensack.
This marked wonderful occasion
for her, as she has sisters at Som
erSet, Mesdames Roema Davis and
Cordelia Rubber, both of whom
have passed the 90 mark. The fam
lily ties have meant much for these
dear souls.
Mrs. Mae Barnes, vice president
of the Bermuda Home in New
York, paid her visit in time osee
the great Cup Match. She brought
with her Mrs. M. B. Lockhart,
who, incidentally, has fallen in love
with the Fair Isle. Coming from
busy New York, she found the
tempo here little easier. =. Mes
DANES Sophia BasSett and Burnette
Ried, are here spending a very en-
joyable time renewing old ac-
quaintances and getting adjusted
to Bermuda's present tempo. It is
grand to see so many of our one
time neighbors return, even if for
a short stay.
Climaxing very happy meeting
at college, Thomas Barton, son of
the late Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Bar
ton of Philadelphia, came over to
claim the hand of the charming
Gloria Welch, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Eric Welch of Harrington
Sound, Smiths Parish. The we'd
ding took place at the ST.. Theresa
Catholic Church in the city, where
Msgr. Robert Dehler is in charge.

The Worlds Biggest Puzzle

World War III created one of the
biggest shifts of World Powers in his
tory. Great Britain, for couple of
centuries regarded as the Mistress Of
the-Seas, lost the title to Y. ). while
Japan rose from number three to num-
Der two at the time of pearl Harbor,
then dropped to zero at the end of the
war. Russia on the other hand, rose
from number five power to power
second only to u. S. in world domina-
ton.
While there has been considerable
postwar shifting of European nations,
it's mostly of paper character, and
may not alter the situation much, if
any. To get France to sign up as an
ally with Germany a traditional en-
envy who has invaded her twice in a
life time, is expecting a little too much.
Two outstanding national giants
emerged from the war: United States
and Russia. They lead in industrial as
well as in military power. While their
theology and way-of-life differ con-
siderably, it's in their material strength
in which they appear most formidable.
Apparently both are the spearheads of
a two bloc world. 1t is only this year
Q954) that Russia outbid England in
securing the contract to build steel
plant in India.
1t is in China where the cleavage
of the two worlds becomes most appar-
emit We can likely make a horse-trade
between the twelve imprisoned Ameri-
can airmen and the Chinese students,
held here against their will. We may
even persuade China to give Formosa
her independence, but what to do with
Kai-shek's 100000 soldiers on Formosa
is a sticker For Chang to invade the
mainland is out of the question, as
100, 900 troops is more than enough
for local use what to do with the half
million left is the problem.
We can put our extensive military
equipment on Formosa in mothball
storage or let it rust We can move our
troops out of West Germany, we can
move out of South Korea and Japan,
and the world could still glide on an
even keel but in Formosa, we are
begged down to the hips, with no solu-
ton in sight. We can't send the troops
to any place on earth, and we can't
leave them there to starve as Formosa
is quite unable to feed them. When
they get hungry, they are bound TO
make trouble. What to do with them
is the worlds biggest puzzle.-A. %.
