A fanciful notion and the words the Observer substituted for the very heart of the message of my letter of June 21. 

I called for “all” of us Chinook to work together to right out “Ship of State” and on an even keel “to sail onward to world standing” and eventually to recognition.

We Chinook can establish standing in Geneva, at the U.N. in New York, and at the Hague in the Netherlands. “Sail to the World Standing,” recognition will follow. Perseverance furthers.
