More than any place in the world America has made progress in having a country ruled by its people. It has, more than any other country, projected this idea into international relations. America is attempting to wipe out bitterness after World War II. We are trying to help other people, whether winner or loser, to return to normal living and the pursuits by which they were once able to enjoy life. The settlement of the trouble Dependable! Stable!

Byers Pendleton, Oregon the IV.ited States had with the Chinese during the Boxer RObel lion provided that they should pay us millions of dollars for damages. The Vnited States promptly declared that the mon ey should be used for the educa tion of the Chinese people. About fifty years ago when Spain sank an American battle ship off the coast of Cuba our Army and Navy were victorious We took away all their posses sions that were in "our sphere of influence," and also seized the Philippine islands. We did n't hold these people as subjects as other nations have. Cuba was given her independence a few years later and now the Philippines have their freedom Hawaii became a territory and j now statehood is being consid ! ered which will make it the jsame as any other state in the , I'nion. It is this American attitude of building up communities to a state of civilization and free I dom, to live according to their own ideas as long as they do ' not impose upon others, rather than treating them as subjects or slaves, that makes our coun try different from others of the past and in some cases, now This attitude, America is trying to impress upon other nations which are also trying to contri , bute for a permanent peace. What we are doing now is of- , fering a helping hand to all of them as long as the people are allowed freedom of expression. Our democracy has done what no other nation ever has donr on a similar scale or with the ; same motive. ! Democracy, the rule of the i people, for -and by the people.

The members of the American Legion, by their efforts and sac rifices for peace and democracy, heir insistance since World War I to "be prepared," and their great support of the cause of freedom, have earned the ever lasting gratitude of everyone. This, in itself is one of many contributions America has made for a permanent peace through democracy. America's Contribution for a Permanent Peace By Marion Green America is doing much for a permanent peace in her own land and in other lands. In the occupation of Japan there are about 160,000 people in uniforms. They are to occupy and govern. There are also ibout 2,000 not in uniform. These people have jobs of help ing the people, acting as teach ers and supervisors is another. in Japan the main purpose is to secure world stability for Ja pan. The main plan is to demil itarize and to democratize Ja pan. As much as possible Jap an's people will bring this about themselves. This will make them feel less harshly toward the United States. The planning is done by the Far Eastern Com mission which is represented by eleven countries. The adminis tration is under the direction of Douglas McArthur. The new Germany will be much different in the coming years. It will not be corrupted with military rule as it has been in the last thirteen years. Ger many will be made "fit to live with." Many countries have claims against Germany for property destroyed during the war. Most of the claims will not be paid back, but the German people will pay some of it back when they get on their feet. Th United States foreign pol icy seeks a just and lasting peace through political stabil ity, economic progress and so cial advancement. For this rea son the United States has spon sored and supported the United Nations. United Nations' goal is political stability. To have political stability peace-loving nations should have the right to speak their grievances, to have legal disputes among nations settled, that weapons - of mass destruction should be subject to rigid control. Atomic Energy Commission is being backed by the United States. It was voted to have this commission in the General As sembly of United Nations on January There are about twelve countries repre sented on the commission. This commission has been meeting since June 11, 1916. The com nission is getting absolute con rol over raw materials used in .he manufacture of atomic en orgy. The commission must control competition. If national ivalry over raw materials takes )lc.ce it will be very dangerous, ff the power of control is given o international groups it will ;olve the problem. The United States along with en other countries are in favor f the United Nations Relief md rehabilitation organization which helps the oppressed of Europe and Asia. It has survey ed to get all surplus food and used clothing for the terrible winter of 1916 and 1917. During this winter UNRRA had' brought relief and help to thousands who doubtlessly would have perished from the cold and lack of food. The war refugee is getting much aid from occupation forces and the United tSates. America 'aas had clothing drives and many other things to help the refugees of Europe. All these acts will create a sense of good will towards th United States in he minds of the people. There still remain many things to be done, but I believe .ve II have peace. 4-Heppner Gazette Times, Heppner, Oregon, May 29, 1 947 VETERANS!
