Manila, Aug. 28.
Major Evans F. Carlson, United States Marines, retired, and Mr. James Bertram, New Zealand author and war correspondent, last night highly praised the United States for its strong Far Eastern stand and urged that all aid short of war be given China.
Foltowing each other on the platform here, Major Carlson and Mr. Bertram' said. they saw the possibility of a Far Eastern Munich and heartily condemned any such action.
"If we attempt appeasement here in the Orient," Major Carlson said, "we are taking our first step towards Waterloo, not merely our Munich, for our reputation for integrity, fair dealing and courage to stand for what we believe to be right will be gone."
