WHY STOP AT 38th PARALLEL?
To stop at the 38th parallel in Korea by the United Nations
armed forces, to the average American, would be like admitting
defeat to Soviet Russia, who invoked the war in the first place.
How long will it take the politicians of American to learn how
incompetent they are in obtaining peace through appeasement?
After two world wars and the Korean incident (as many would
like to call it) American politics seems to be of the opinion that
the American dollar can buy anything—satisfy the world.
For the Pilot to place the responsibility and blame for this af
fair is only an opinion of an individual, but it seems certain now
that America’s apathy to military men’s opinions should stop.
Appeasing Russia is as foolish as trying to pet a rattlesnake.
One would be foolish to try. The 38th parallel, if the Pilot could
be heeded, would serve only as a starting block for the dash
northward to free Korea, and set up an indipendent republic,
Persuasion on Russia might come easier if America would show
some backbone and demand withdrawal from the over-run nations
which she has grabbed since the war.
Korea has cost this national about 18,000 casualties. To poli
ticians who do not consider this anything, a change of scenery
certainly is due. America was founded by strong men—the meek
seem to be ruling its destiny now’.

series—let’s wait a few days and
then say.
America is great because of
her competitive sports. Boys in
their tender years dream of the
day when they, too, may become
great enough to participate in
these series. I had those dreams
as a lad, but—

the eventual area winners. At
