The BPWM

It goes without saying that we are not aware of MacGowan's children if she ever had any, although in surfing the Internet we saw that the former college classmate, a psychology major, was working for a university in Oregon. The McGowan children who came to the U.S. aboard the S.S. Gripsholm to spend the rest of World War II with their uncle Jack in Eugene, Oregon, are listed as of the Chinese race so I don't see any resemblance there. Besides, the McGowan children were apparently connected to the British Political Warfare Mission, according to a notation on the passenger list, so obviously their purpose in coming to the U.S. has ended. The war has been over for a very long time now and your answers to the questions were given before reaching the age of majority. We really were not planning to resurrect your answers to the boiler plate questions that non-U.S. citizens were required to answer upon entering the country as part of a POW exchange but if you insist on raising Cane you might find that the authorities are starting to wonder if you really were a prisoner, a poor man, a hospital patient, a mental case undergoing treatment, a polygamist and an anarchist all along and only lying to get through customs fast. Are you trying to tell us that you have changed your mind and that you really do want to overthrow the U.S. government after all? Perhaps in the intervening years you have been arrested or deported or excluded. Do you really want to go through World War II all over again? Then I think you must be crazy for sure and with your addle-brained head, lacking a teaching credential or similar working purpose, you will never qualify for a Chinese Visa. The Chinese authorities will never let you in the front door as just a nice ministry guy with good intentions. The rules state it clearly: "Any person suffering from a mental disorder, leprosy, AIDS, venereal diseases, contagious tuberculosis or other such infectious diseases shall not be permitted to enter China." Who defines mental disorder? The nation defending the integrity of its own borders will tell you who gets in and who doesn't. That is how that works, or ought to.
