MacArthur Predicts Japan
Soon to Join Free Nations
By EARNEST HOBERECHT
Tokyo, Dec. 31 (UPJ Gen. Douglas MacArthur said today
that Japan has achieved internal peace and soon should become
a "sturdy and highly respected member of the society of free
nations."
The supreme allied commander reported the gains of the
past year 01 occupation 10 mew
.Tatianese people ill ma mmuai
New Year's message.
He said the communist con
quest of China had brought the
global struggle between com
munism and democracy close to
Japan, but urged the Japanese
nation and people not to be
come involved in it.
Furthermore, he said, the
Japanese people could do noth
ing about the international pro
cedural conflict delaying the
call of a Japanese peace confer
ence. "The solution of these prob
lems does not lie within Ja
pan's present capabilities, and
should not directly be drawn
within the orbit of Japan's in
ternal politics," MacArthur said.
Although Japan is still techni
cally at war, he said, "there are
few places on earth more com
pletely at peace.
"In keeping with my announc
ed purpose to transfer the au
thority of government to your
chosen representatives just as
rapidly as they demonstrated the
. will and capacity to discharge
the attending responsibility, the
past year has witnessed progres
sive and far-reaching relaxation
of occupation controls.
"We have, indeed, gone a
long way and internally have
virtually arrived at a de facto
peace.
"Your new leadership,
strengthening under the stimu
lus of responsibility, is rapidly
becoming a safe guarantee
against either the re-emergence
of those institutions which
brought your race to the brink
of destruction or the substitu
tion of alien concepts no less
provocative of disaster , , .
"The myth of an unabrldge
able gulf between the ways of
the east and the ways of the
west has been thoroughly ex
ploded by the lesson of experi
ence and no longer dominates
man's thinking.
"For men now know that hu
manity, whatever the origin,
race, or cultural environment,
is fundamentally the same in
the impelling universal desire
for higher personal dignity,
broader individual liberty and a
betterment of life ...
"During the past year, Japan
has scored impressive gains
along almost every front and the
confidence reflected in my mes
sage to you of a year ago has
found complete support in en
suing events.
"Despite the convulsions In
many lands where the concept
of human freedom is suppressed
or under assault, Japan's free
institutions, progressively have
strengthened. The individual ci
tizen Is grasping with increasing
understanding and firmness the
political responsibility which at
taches to the sovereign power.
"With the continuation of the
noble support of the American
people tendered a prostrate Ja
pan In her hour of desperate
need, a further broad advance
has been made toward the self-
supporting economy which is
the goal of every Japanese citi
zen."

Betty Lou Marbury, who's re
ceived over 10,000 letters in the
past few weeks, has an impor
tant letter of her own to write
when she gets out of the hospital.

farm girl recovering from an

write a letter of thanks to the
New Yorker who financed her
trip to see Boston specialists.

Unemployment Help
Asked for Lebanon
Lebanon, Dec. 31 An appeal
for community cooperation in
cutting down the seasonal unem
ployment peak is made by F. W.
Worral, manager of the Lebanon
office of the state employment
service. Now is the best time for
getting odd jobs done and other
work under way, it is stressed
"Even with the influx of new
comers, employment conditions
are holding up this winter bet
ter than a year ago," comments
Manager Worral. "Most of us
can think of jobs that already
have been postponed many
times, such as fixing the roof,
painting, expanding the business
or adding a new farm building.
Our office has more experienced
and skilled men and women than
at any time since the war, and
we have dozens of applicants
for those odd jobs that take only
a few days or hours."
And she's looking forward to
a visit from a little Ohio girl
who lost her right hand more
than two years ago because of a
malignant bone tissue.
Twelve-year-old Phyllis Det-
wiler of Willoughby, O.i plans
to fly down next Thursday to as
sure Betty that everything will
work out all right.
"I just want to tell her that
she has nothing to fear," said
Phyllis. "She'll be back in
school in no time, just as I was.
And I know she'll be able to do
everything every other girl
does."
The Lake County News-Her
ald is sending Phyllis as a good
will gesture from Willoughby to I
Memphis. The Ohio lass has be
come quite proficient with her
left hand. She types, pitches
Softball, draws, paints and is a
cheerleader at school.
Betty's flight to see Boston
specialists came after she asked
the nation's prayers to save her
hand. It was a futile last-minute
attempt to stave off the surg
eon's knife.
Betty got a long letter from
the New Yorker when the decis
ion to amputate was announced.
And she got a picture, which
she keeps at her bedside table.
Reporters recognized the man

radio executive who created and

busters," and 'other top radio
shows.-

From the dawn of human intelligence to the present, man
has divided the day into measured periods. This interest
in time is a natural development, because time is the
essence of human life.
At first, the passing of days was marked by the sun,
moon, and stars. Then man invented mechanical time
keepers the sun dial, the hour glass, the first crude clock.
Eventually our present highly-perfected time keeping
system was evolved.
Because man's life is measured in hours and days and
years, it is important that he put into each of these, the
greatest amount of good he can; for life passes swiftly.,
Religion teaches a man to lead a good life, to worship
God and serve his fellow man. Go to church and make
the Bible your daily guide. It will help you make the most
of the days of your life.
