Fighting Again!
The outbreak of fighting in Saigon
where Annamites kidnapped two score
Europeans and destroyed the market
place informs us that warfare has not
disappeared from the face of the
earth despite our victories over Ger
many and Japan.
The incident will be used by many
to demand the withdrawal of French
control in Indo-China and the public
will be advised that the outbreak rep
resents a demand for popular self
government. Whether this is even in
part the truth is not yet established.
We should not lose sight of the fact
that our wars were fought in self-defense,
that in prosecuting them to a
successful conclusion we ended a seri
ous threat to our civilization and that
in doing this we have accomplished
about all that warfare can do for a
nation.
If the peoples of the world make
nrnorpRs. in the vears to come, it will
be in spite of war, not because of it,
The progress of the human race is
rarely stimulated by fighting although
some barriers may be removed a little
quicker than might otherwise be the

Dear Editor Campbell,
Our forces have moved so fast here
of late until The Weekly has been un
able to reach us in quite awhile.
Thus, I have been missing The Week
ly and news of the old hometown.
Since victory is ours, however, let us
hope that I shall be able to see the
home folk in person before long.
Yes, I have moved from the Phil
inninea. and am now with the oc-
cuDation forces here in Japan the
Tokvo. Yokohoma Area, to be exact
As usual, we were among the first
American Troops to land here; and
in fact, the very first colored.
The occupation is progressing with
out undue delay, and everything
seems to be moving according to
schedule. Tokyo is a very modern
ritv with subways, street cars, and
els; and very beautiful, except the
areas which were bombed to the
ground by our planes. Believe it or
not, Tokyo is wrecked almost as bad
as Manila was back in the Philippine
Islands. All of us can- really be
thankful for the way that God spar
ed our American cities from the ruin
of war.
With best wishes and kindest re
gards until I see you back in good
old Hertford, U. S. A., I am
Cordially yours,

To Stop Highway
Accidents
Safety experts point out that traffic
accidents will probably increase, say
ing that automobiles, tires and roads
are in much worse condition than they
were prior to the war.
It is pointed out that police traffic
forces are under-manned, which
means that violations of traffic regu
lations will be frequently undetected.
This means, of course, that they will
contribute to accidents on the high
ways and the fatalities among trav
elers and pedestrians.
In our opinion, there is a need for
the examination of all vehicles using
the public highways in order to com
pel motorists to keep their cars and
trucks in a safe condition. 1 his by it

The question seems to revolve it
self into the best method of insuring
careful driving. We think that this
can be best accomplished by rigid en
forcement of all traffic regulations.
Certainly, every driver would be im
pressed with the necessity of obeying
traffic rules and regulations if he were
reasonably certain that prosecution
would follow infraction. This would
in turn develop caution in the minds
of those who drive on the highways.

Non-Stop From Japan
The attempt of three Army super
fortresses to fly non-stop from Japar
to Washington was spoiled by heavy
rains which forced them down at Chi
cago to refuel, but the demonstration
should convince doubting Americans
that even the Pacific Ocean is not an
insuperable barrier to enemy attacks
upon this country.
There have been reports from vari
ous correspondents that the Japanese,
during the recent war, contemplated
the use of suicide pilots to fly bomb
ers against American cities. The
superforts show that this was possible
and the development of the kamikaze
attack at Okinawa showed that Japan
had some pilots, at least, willing to
embark on a flight which had to end
in death.
It may be that the development, of
aerial offensive may progress greatly
in the next decade or two. Nobody
knows. Consequently, every nation
must look after its defense with an
eye to a possible aerial attack from
bases that are far distant. About the
only defense is an aggressive attack
upon enemy bases and to make this
possible the nation must have far
flung bases from which to operate.
Of course, the best defense against
j war is to be found in the hearts of
peace-loving peoples. At this stage
of civilization, as it is seen on the
globe, this is too much to expect The
chances are that therfe will be, for
hundreds of years,' aggressive peoples
ready to take advantage of their mili
trv prowess to strike down muddle-
headed democracies which stubbornly
refuse to prepare for war.
