John Hannas writes from Labuan about American and Australian fighting styles in the Pacific, noting Marine assault methods versus Army slogging, the Peleliu and Leyte campaigns, and the bravery of diverse units including a Fiji infantry battalion. He contrasts quick Marine fire with Army endurance, praises selective leaders, and recalls wartime experiences of soldiers and civilians under Japanese occupation.

Canadian Diamond King Of Africa Promised Wealth
African diamond prospector John T. Williamson, a 40 year old Quebecer, rose from near ruin to potential king of diamonds. The Reader’s Digest story claims his Williamson mine could outproduce Kimberley, with 6000 native workers and heavy world attention. He has turned down a 20 million dollar offer and aims to deepen mining with machinery. Williamson’s tale blends improbable fortune with international marriage proposals and a dramatic ascent from poverty to power.
