Could It Be A New
“Flying Saucer?"
VICTORIA, B. C. </P) — What :
i
with “strange objects” and “mys
terious high-speed airplanes” clut
tering up the sky over the Straits
of Juan de Fuca it’s getting so a
respectable aircraft won’t be able
to find a place to fly in that area. ;
Latest “strang object” reports i
i comes from the first officer aboard
; the Chinook, the Seattel to Vic- i
toria car ferry, and it is vouched ]
i for by the quartermaster and look
out.
Yesterday they saw a “bright
light in the sky moving towards i
Victoria at about 2,000 feet.”
“It was moving from side to
side and up and down much too
I sharply to be a plane.” the officer
• said.
Last Saturday a high speed mys- j
tery plane was spotted leaving a
vapor trail over the Straits.
The latest “object” was “too er
ratic to follow with binocularsj
and it was too dark to see any
shape.”
“It came within a mile of the
ship ad then spiralled swiftly up
wards through the overcast.”

sion at Lake Success to consider
what it is going to do about inter
nationalizing Jerusalem. Israel
has defied the U. N. decision to
control the city by makitig It Is
rael’s permanent capital. Many U.
N. delegates said the trusteeship
council is faced with a hopeless
task.
A three-day wildcat strike that
inconvenienced millions of Lon
doners ended today in four of Bri
tain’s nationalized electric power
plants. The 2.700 strikers went
back to work without wage gains
and the lights came on again.

Nationalist Chinese hopes of
holding far west Sikang province
as their only remaining mainland
base for guerrilla action against
the communists were blasted to
day. An uprising was reported in
Sikang and it looked as if it would
go over to the Reds.
The government struggled to
restore the situation. The Sikang
defection followed closely the re
volt in Yunnan province.
Nationalists now are confined
pretty well to the Island of For
mosa, where they hope to hold out
awaiting weaknesses to develop
inside communist China before re
suming the offensive.
A veteran observer of China,
Associated Press correspondent
Fred Hampson, said these weak
nesses are already apparent.
Hampson, enroute to Hong Kong,
said the communist New China
News Agency has admitted the
communists are in serious econo
mic and financial difficulties.
The dispatch quoted Red leader
Mao Tze-Tung as saying: “Our sit
uation can be generalized as fol
low’s: “There are difficulties but
there are ways and means and
there is hope.”
There was another uproar in
the West German Parliament at
Bonn today, w’hen communist
leader Max Reimann charged
that Chancellor Konrad Adenau
er’s government is a puppet of the
Western Allies.
Reimann said that Adenauer
planned German rearm ament
“backed by German and Ameri
can imperialism.”
This incident followed a similar
uproar in November when Social
ist leader Kurt Schumacher was
expelled from Parliament for a
time after he called Adenauer
“Chancellor of the Allies.”
No disciplinary action was taken
against Reimann for his hot words.
In Hong Kong, police said they
were holding a person suspected
of attempting to sabotage the Civil
Air transport plane in which Maj.
Gen. Claire Chennault was about
to leave for Taipeh, Formosa.
The serious diplomatic feud be
tween France and Poland contin
ued. In Wroclaw, French diplo
mats wer eaccused of plotting to
sabotage Polish mines and mills.
The charges weer made in a trial
of four Frenchmen and two others
accuse dof spying and anti-state
activities.
Traveling Man: “Waitress, all I
want for breakfast this morning is
two soft boiled eggs, a cup of cof
fee and a few kind words.”
The waitress returned with his
order whereupon the traveling
man said: “Well, here are the eggs
and the coffee, but where are the
kind words?”
Waitress: “Don’t eat them eggs.”

Sterilization? . . . what say we . . . all of us?
Says Robert Owen to William
Allen: “All the world is queer save
thee and me, and even thou art a
little queer.”
Says the well-intentioned but
fanatical Eugenist: ‘The world is
getting crowded with mental de
fectives! Save the future genera
tions by sterilizing the unfit!”
Says the expert Sociologist:
‘ The idiot and imbecile are segre
gated. They cannot propagate.
The weak-minded are less fertile
than normal people and have a
shorter life span, and most of
them fill their niche anyhow in
the world’s work. No danger at all
from future defectives.”
Says the expert Biologist: “We
know but little of human heredity;
but we do know that 95 per cent
of the mental defectives come from
normal parents and that sound
children from mentally weak par
ents are common. We do know
that crime and immorality are not
inherited. We do know that ster
ilization removes neither desire
nor power to act, and that to let
I sterilized, unrestrained del i n -
|
quents loose in the world would
but cause further immorality, in
sanity, and disease.
1 Says the Historian “If the fa
natical Eugenists had had their
way in the past, many famous and
brilliant men and women would
never have been born. In fact.
there can be found in almost ev*
ery family tree mental defectives
somewhere along the line. And
that, reader, applies to your lore
bears ad ours and to those o! the
Eugeni.sts theme.sves.”
Says the Catholic Theologian:
“Man, as a person, owns himself—
under God—and has a right to all
of himself and to the preservation
and operation of all of his func
tions. But as all men's bodies and
souls belong to God, no one has a
right to mutilate any part of him
self or of any man except when
no other provision can be made
for the good of the whole body.
Therefore—to use the words of
Pope Pius XI: ‘This theory of eu
genics is to be held entirely blame
worthy, false and condemned’.’’
Says the modern Prophet: “Woe
betide the rest of us if any present
or future Hitler, with his pagan
doctrine of race sacredness, ever
dominates the world! Beware! For
the time may come when ...”
Says Robert Owenschmidt to
Wilhelm von Allen: “All the world
is queer save thee and me, so let's
go sterilize everybody. But, being
that thou are a little queer, I’ll
start right now on thee!”
