...concede (which I do) that Washington is to blame. Let us concede (which I do not) that the Chinese Communists are the terrible villains you make them out to be. That still leaves Chungking, which you try to absolve. You intimate that it is totalitarian to save democracy in China-in contradistinction to the Yenan regime which is totalitarian in order to remain...
...Union Jacks. But generally, French Canadians heeded the timely and wise admonition of Quebec's Premier Maurice Duplessis: ". . . Have respect for the laws." There were some disturbances elsewhere.

...course the first thing that you will notice in reading this well-worn column is that Willie Cousins is absent. Such are the fortunes of war and the penalties of living off-station. It looks as though I'll have to take the blame all by myself and suffer Unsat's alone. I'm going to miss Bill getting "hot" copy, rewriting and generally helping to make everybody's private life public...
