By Our Readers this world in one terrifying con- flagration These madmen will be "patriotic" and will be serving the national interests — so they say It would be madness if we the peopie here and in other countries in the name of "patriotism" and-o- r "nationalism" apathetically and blindly permit these madmen to prevail It is incumbent upon us to responsibly and loyally act to avert calamity by making demands of world leaders to steer a course away from the cycling whirlpool of destruction Neither capitalism nor socialism nor communism nor religious organizations have ever renounced war They have consciously or unconsciously brutalized the human mind by conditioning man to accept the depravity the degradation of war The splattering of blood and flesh have been made a glorious symbol of an act of "patriotism" and even "Chriswar there has each after tianity" Hopefully been another unrealized truth That truth is "there has always been peace and there will always be peace" It is this truth to which man's mind must be permanently conditioned S:AMIJEL S TAYLOR Our Foolish Laws Editor Tribune: In response to Mr Parry's letter in The Forum may I remark that Mr Parry must have lived in Utah long enough to know that some of our laws are as foolish as some of our officials and I am not speaking of our governor or our mayor I have found through perional problems look into any problems any private citizen will bring to their attention in spite of the ridicule Mayor Lee got from corpulent Dan the funny man LAWRENCE L BECKSTEAD that these men will when the first snow storms of winter sweep high mountain country frequented by sportsmen always produces a goodly ROGER HANSEN share of strays Many hunters are once a outdoorsmen who into back the go year country without prior physical conditionDon't Mention School Names ing and proper cold weather gear Some Editor Forum: I would like to voice my are simply careless and others foolhardy on mentioning school names in the opinion We suppose there is no way to prevent Like the other day when the headline paper a person from going into the mountains in whatever physical condition and with read "SI Police Pick Up 22 Students in whatever equipment he likes Nor can he South's Truancy Crackdown" Well I mean that gives South a great repbe stopped from flying a plane over treacherous terrain in threatening weathutation Of course it doesn't have the best er or driving on the desert in a car deanyway and to publish something like that it signed for the Interstate or wandering really finishes it: off Like the article said and I quote "More away from a picnic table into dense than 99 per cent of them want to do what is undergrowth Since he can't be stopped and he can't right it's just one per cent or 22 students that be chastised for the bother he causes by are hurting South's reputation" I don't think it's right to menlon any school's name in the getting lost t14 most likely approach lies paper Why can't the school keep it to itself?

I respectfully suggest to Dr Saab that ben fore rational understanding call be realized that he also channel his pertwasive talents among his own countrymen and perhaps in time reason may yet prevail I'm sure that Americans will respond in kind J M SUSSMAN Arab-Americ- "so-calle- anti-Semit- Atlantic the t i Tse-tun- t I tion" None of this should be very surprising After all throughout most of recorded history the principal east Asian societies have been the richest and most powerful on earth There is nothing to stop ' them moving towards their former position once again as soon as they have mastered the techniques of Western industrialism This is precisely what the more advanced are already doing It is totally irrelevant to this projection that even Japan is still maihtaining her post- war "low posture" in defense and foreign affairs Obviously the Japanese are going to wait until they reach a somewhat greater weight in the world before they begin to throw their weight about But use their weight they certainly will in the end This projection of the Asian future Is to the American role in Vietnam In the rather near future the 113 is due to occupy a unique position in the world as the land i bridge between the two world lakes Our vital interests will require us to play our alloted part in both the Atlantic and the Pa We can of course Ignore those challenges To quote the words of Gen Maxwell Taylor we can try to "go back to Hawaii" thereby seeking to opt out of history Opting out of history never works indellnitely The Laos tried it for instance yet history has now come among them treading with Iron foot Even Iceland so long immune is not quite immune to history today And nothing more dangerous can possibly be imagined than opting out of history by the richest power on earch The choice in Vietnam is whether or not to opt out of history with respect to the development of the Pacific world lake Some would have us do this but these are people who know nothing of Asia and do not under- stand that the Pacific is soon due to become a primary world lake Meanwhile our men in Vietnam 'are fighting with splendid bravery for the Pacific interests of all Americans in the futOre anti-Semit- point-by-poi- nt anti-Semit- Interiandi kfi r '31jC1'''7ticf 4 " -- 1 ( --tt eLi::'----'7k-C- -- - — 2---t' - - '''fit':A I NO iWRE r--- ee- 1!'-'-2'- 'I'-:- 7 ' r 4v - WAR smo& ot 41fido 4 ri k r -- 11'r) "' ''''' V N' -- - 11Ift 4- — - 60 5 otoet - 1 - "" i ''' ' VI I ' s 1 - — ' c Ir $ t) 171 r 90 71 v111$ A I -- - ' glitc I - i 1 i?
