The Labor government, and the

However, the British were not
alone in being out on a limb. Th"

their big hate now, not England's
But they had the Amethyst where
she was powerless, so they shot th"
works and charged she had “joined

and opened fire herself. The Bri

their chief and obvious interest
these days Is to trade with Chin

The reds couldn’t climb down fr
om this charge because they had
made so much of it. and also had
demanded Indemnity for more than
250 red soldiers they said had died
under the Amethyst's guns.
To make the case completely
hopeless, the reds have no oentral
government as such, and the A’

any foreign power. The Amethyst
was pinned down by red guns, and

of a passing’Chinese freighter.. .and
started downriver. Without a pilot,
and in spite of a blasted chartroom
he somehow twisted her through
the sharp bends of the shifty chan
nel, past the uncharted sandbars,
|and even rammed through the
boom across the •^hannel at Ktan
gyin.
The courage and skill this took
cannot be doubted..
The Amethyst was fired on when
.she started, and again at Ktangyin.
But there ts nothing to show that
for the next 120 miles the reds
raised a single gun against her.
1 It was dark and they may not
have known. But most Chinese will
realize that the sloop passed China's
most formidable coastal defense
station, at Woosung, without a shot
being fired and this several hours
after she passed Kiangyin. Could
red communications be that bad’
: In explaining all this the reds
may lose face with the "Chinese, but i
hot as much as some people think.
As the new masters of the Nation
alist China they will find it less
| of a loss of face than If the Ameth
j yst had been rescued by an expedi
tion or by diplomatic pressure.
In their minds they proved their j
real point months ago — which *s
that the Yangtze belongs to China,
meaning red Cltlnu.
j So it may be a good tiling that
the Amethyst's escape will bear
in Chinese eyes certain traits
common to a typical Chinese solu
tion for such muddles as the Am
| : ethyst was in.
Remember, there was no normal
I solution for it because one side or
the other would lose too much face.
In such cases, the Chinese usually
find an un-normal way out that
I isn't too hard on anyone. ‘
T'hii.....isn't to say they had any
part in finding the Amethyst's any
out. It is to say that the Chinese
people will accept it as an intelli
gent way out If red propagandists
let them.
What the reds say about, tt will
therefore be important. Many Ch
inese have been waiting for some
such case- that might answer a big
question a lot of them have been
asking — are the Chinese commun
ist* first and Chinese afterwads,
or vice-versa ?

It is no easy road and no organ
ization of sympathy tor sympathy's
sake. Always supplying needs where
truly needed, it is a bitter enemy.
In order *o becom< a successful
member of the organization, the
potential member has to learn to j
laugh at himself and realize that
the men he is talking with have
been along the same road as he and
can anticipate his true needs.
It Is nothin organization of dy
namic personalities, A dynamic
leader is not successful in assisting
the needy !n this undertaking.
The work ts done by the individ
ual himself. No matter how long a
person Is 'he organization he al
ways Is a potential backslider.
Members, especially the newer
one.s, sometimes try every means
and excuse to break the principles
on which th-’ organization is found
ed. But demite this the local or
ganization if AA now has a regular
standance of at least 10 members
"PROUD OF IT"
It ts not an organiation to be
sought by'the everyday, citizen but
one in which its members stand in
- I public meetings and testify. “I am
j a member n r A A and proud of it.
| It has saved my life, my fami’v
and my sanity."
No one enters the organization
by the same doors although the
steps toward recovery from the
disease of alcoholism have a d»
finite pattern. The first step is the
admission of an abnormality, a
disease of both the mind and body
and the recognition of a power
greater than himseif that will as
sist in recovery.
It Is a spiritual organization but
not a church, although many .chur
ch members belong *.i A. A.
Although the organization may
save everything that a man con
siders worthwhile in his life his
membership still is annomyous.
None of his fellow members will
divulge to an outsider the names
Only the member himself has th"
right to Identify himself as an A. A.
member.
SPIRIT OF UPLIFT
There Is .1 certain spirit of spir
Huai uplift in each member but
tt Is not an aggressive spirit. The
alcoholic has to ask for the as
sistance of both the other A. A
members and the power greater
than himself, .
The ultimate success in the or
ganization has no otrticular goal.
The success M an alcoholic is what
he is today, not what he hopes to
be tomorrow. The reward is the
distance he ''a* covered up to todav.

The service Is given not for fin

that both the giver and receiver

Atom Might Mean

By JAMES MARLOW
WASHINGTON —(Ah— The Uni

for a door marked "doom" and ano

This is the picture given by the
Atomic Energy Commission (AEC)
in a 200 page report on its work.

make such a report to Congress on

"New and more effective atomic
weapons which were tested at Erp

"They found that after the bat
was exposed to radiation the cir

other organic debris clogged the

They are trying to find out wh

it will help humans.
