Letter From An American
ITHE following private letter, from the “PlM’s” Tahiti correspondent, who is an American, will he read with interest by many people whose future is bound up with Pacific events. It typifies the new spirit of the United States: — DEAR Mr. Robson, —This morning, we have heard that the Japanese have treacherously attacked my country. By this stroke, they have welded the whole American nation into one inflexible purpose.
I know my countrymen. There will be no division, now that war has been forced upon us. It will be our pride to emulate the immortal valour of Britain, in the dark days which lie before us.
You, in Australia, are at the front of battle. May God bless you every one, and keep you safe in this hour of peril.
Most truly yours,
Alfred C. Rowland.
Tahiti, Dec. 7, 1941.
Pastor W. Petrie, SDA missionary in Samoa, recently returned to Sydney.
