...pacific South Seas last week came a faint echo of Europe's thundering wars. The scattered islands of New Hebrides (off the east coast of Australia), which owe allegiance to Britain & France jointly, repudiated the Government of Marshal Henri Philippe Pétain in Vichy, pledged their resources and man power to the "free France" of General Charles de Gaulle in London.

Disillusioned with the law when he sends an innocent man to the chair, he reacts to this experience by keeping as many guilty men away from it as he can until reformed by the example of a noble younger...
