Nothing But Good Guys
"I was readin' 'bout them wars they runs off new an' then, Uncle Pogo. Jes' who is the enemy in them? Our side or theirs?" "Well ... in a way ... both sides."
"Well . . . in a way . . . both sides."
A cessation of military action is indeed only the first step to a peaceful settlement of the Korean question. But if the American government and other governments that are taking part in the Korean war are really sincere about putting an end to the Korean war, and ensure that the negotiations for an armistice in Korea are carried out and successfully completed, then the negotiations will be an important step towards a peaceful settlement of the Korean question.
Such a peaceful settlement is what the peoples of Korea, China, the Soviet Union, and Asia and all peace-loving people everywhere have persistently demanded and continuously striven to secure.
Since the outbreak of the Korean war, the Chinese people and the Central People's government have repeatedly advocated a peaceful settlement. The Chinese people enthusiastically supported the proposals put forward by Stalin and Nehru regarding the peaceful solution of the Korean question.
Disregarding the desire of the peoples of the world for peace and repeated warnings of the Chinese people, the American government, however, went its own way, ordered its invasion troops to cross the 38th parallel, and made a fierce headlong drive towards the Yalu and Tumen rivers on the Chinese border.
The Chinese, of course, could not sit by idly in the face of such a serious situation, which directly threatened the security of their country. Consequently, they rose up to oppose America and aid Korea, and organize volunteer formations to help the Korean People's army resist the aggression of America and her accomplices.
The purpose of these volunteers taking part in the anti-aggression war in Korea was to secure a peaceful settlement of the Korean question. However, the U.S. government still dreamed of conquering all Korea and of threatening Northeast China with its military forces.
As a result of this, all efforts to secure a peaceful settlement of the Korean question failed in the end. It was not until recently, after the peoples of China and Korea persisted in their heroic war of resistance and dealt severe blows to the American army, and, when the general demands for peace of the peoples of the world, including the American people, threw America's rulers into ever-deepening difficulties that the U.S. government began to recognize that the Chinese and Korean peoples cannot be intimidated and the difficulties and dangers involved in trying to conquer the whole of Korea.
Therefore, and for the first time, it expressed its willingness to consider accepting the reasonable peace proposal of Malik concerning negotiations for a cease-fire.
Precisely as the joint declaration of the various Chinese democratic parties stated on November 4: "The Chinese people ardently love peace. We have always wanted peace in the past; we shall always want peace. We want peace in China, in Asia. We want lasting peace for the whole world, for all humanity!"
Editorial from "People's Daily," Peking.
"But the way us chillun types play, the enemy is always the bad guys . . . an' if both sides is enemies it must mean . . . they isn't no good guys!"
"Well, each side figgers they is the good guys, so, lookin' at it another way, the whole mess is nothin' but good guys."
Pogo.

Joe Taylor-
Let's get this straight. Did the fashion page headline really mean "Sleek And Frothy," or was it supposed to read "Freak and slothy"?
The new magazine Gentry claims to be slanted toward "the top 100,000 thinking men in this country." At two dollars a copy, what thinking man could afford it?
The trouble with American magazines is too much snob appeal—"For the top 100,000. . . " "For the man who's too busy . . . "
"For that special woman who . . . " Things were more democratic back in the days of Uncle Billy's Whiz Bang.
Gentry's technique of gluing trout flies and fabrics and automobiles right into the magazine sounds fine. We even considered pasting French postcards in the Sour Owl, until we remembered what happened when Flair got fancy.
Our new copy of People's China mentions "the fascist terror that the rulers of present-day America are trying to clamp on the country." Do you suppose it's referring to this business about 2-cent postcards?

If Pop Bottle Pops, He Loses $14,000
Anderson, Mo.—(U.P).—A 64-year-old Missouri farmer stands to inherit a $14,000 Kansas farm if a 59-year-old bottle of strawberry soda pop isn't broken or opened by next February.
In 1892, George Willis was brought to Joplin, Mo., by his grandfather, James Connor, then of Ochelata, Okla., to purchase a gift for Willis' fifth birthday.
The youngster wanted a case of strawberry soda pop. The grandfather purchased the case for Willis.
The boy was very careful of his soda pop and only drank a bottle on special occasions.

The grandfather learned of the youngster's frugality and when he died soon afterward, his will included a provision that if Willis on his 65th birthday could produce one unopened bottle of the original case of 24 bottles he would inherit the $14,000 farm in Montgomery County, Kan.

February 24, he still had three bottles. He drank one, another was broken when he accidentally dropped it. Willis is taking great care of the last bottle.
He said he would drink it on February 24—after he has presented it in probate court at Independence, Kan., and received the title to the farm.
