DowN MEMORY LANF-Here are some worth-re- membering remarks that have been handed down by fine thinkers of the past: i,, , Thomas Jefferson, who died at 83, said to John Adams ;r' when he was 73: "You ask if I would live my 23 years over again? To which I say'yes.'I think, with you, that this is a good world on the whole, that it has been framed on a principle of benevolence, and that more pleasure than pain is dealt out to us." rN. * rk

And Jefferson said concerning his friend John Adams:

"He was as disinterested as the Being who made him.,'

Winston Churchill said long ago: ,.Who can ever believe . that there will be permanent peace in Europe or in the world ' while the frontiers of Asia rest on the Elbe?,, ran Maclaren said: "gl olu t ar everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.,,

A man named Dallas Lore Sharp said that if he could ,,. teach his boys but one thing, he would teach them poetry, ' "to strengthen their imagination, to chasten their sensibili,. ties, to quicken and deepen their emotions, to give them : their glorious mother-tongue and the language of real life, and the significance of real th,ings.,, **tlt

Branch Rickey, baseball great, is credited with saying , long ago: "Luck is the residue of design. It,s what,s left after you have invested yourself fully in the job in front of jrou, with what intelligence you had, with what information you could get, with what energy, what industry you could put into it. You give it all you,ve got, and it comes out luck. And, if you haven't left many loopholes for negligence or mistakes, it's probably good luck.,' .{€!F{t

Edmund Burke said: "Taxing is an easy business. Any projector can contrive new impositions; any bungler can add to the old. But is it altogether wise to have no other bounds to your impositions than the patience of those who are to bear them?" {<**

'Justioe," wrote Margaret Morrison, ,.is never one-sided. Its demands are made equally upon all. Justice demands equality of responsibility, equality of service with equality of reward according to service, equality of obedience to the laws of righteousness."

How much do we know about the big island lying off the coast of China which we call Formosa, and which the Chinese call Taiwan? It is generally known that this is the seat of the gov€rnment of the Republic of China, protected against the Chinese Communist regime by an American fleet, and at bay for many years against overpowering numbers of Communist Chinese just a few miles distant. But most of us have little information concerning what goes on there.

So when Raymond S. H. Hoo, Consul for the Republic of China and located in Houston, Texas, made a speech recently concerning his island home, the things he said were surprising to most hearers and readers. Here are some of the th'ings he said: "After seven years of offort, many factories in Taiwan are running at ofull speed, producing more than sufficient for home cofisumption. Today, with improved skill and management, we are manufac,turing in quantities: textiles, printed cottons, grass linens, silks, camphor products, citronella oil, soap, toothpaste, toiletries, paper, cement, electric fans, plywood, and handicraft products for export, besides agricultural products: sugar, tea, rice, and the canned pineapple, which supply the greater part of our. foreign exchange. *

"fn Kaoshiung," he continued, 'jthere is a huge oil refinery. Its 16,000 workers, headed--by American-educated Chinese,.are producing more than enough fuel for the island. Its profit is 80 million Taiwan dollars yearly. There is also a new Taiwan aluminum plant, a vastly expanded Ewo iron works, and a modern alkali chemical plant, all privately owned, with U.S. $30,000,000 annual production. As to chemical fertilizer, the ten million people of Taiwan are producing more than the 3S0:nillion people of India.

"The two major harbors, Keelung and Kaoshiung, have been reconstructed, and freight tonnage has been tremendously increased," he added. "Sh,ips as large as 32,0fi)-ton tankers are being built by our own shipyards. The land reform pqogram is making Taiwanese farmers the most prosperous in the Far East. Free China today is a living example of what the rest of Asia can be. It is one of the strongest stabilizing forces defending freedom, and one of the important links in the Far East for world peace.',

Thus spoke this intelligent young Chinese Consul from Formosa, giving his listeners generally a world of interesting and surprising information on a subject little known.

And what, the free world asks, becomes of that island and its ten million people if it ever falls into the hands of the Chinese Communists? And the world shudders.
