Will The War Criminals
Escape Trial and Execution?
It becomes more and more ap
parent that there will be no war
criminal trials or executions as
far as America is concerned.
There was a lot of frothing a-
bout fixing the blame for Pearl
Harbor, but the boys who really
were to blame, fixed it all up by
just talking it along over the
years. In the same manner there
will be talk and talk about what
should and is to be done with war
criminals, but it just never will
be done. They have most of the
arch-criminals now and some of
them have been feted and others
are living like the war prisoners
over here, on the fat of the land
and the fatheads are the boys
who are shoved into the front
trenches to wipe out a menace.

while the seeds are carefully
preserved to make another war
certain.
War criminals, of course, are
in one category, and those res
ponsible for bringing on the war
are also of course, in another
category. In the latter class are
the high German officials, the
old government of France, the
government of England and the
government of America. Per
haps next to Germany, England
is the most culpable of the na
tions responsible for the present
war and you will note that while
that government has had the
despicable Hess for more than
two years they have never even
attempted to bring him to trial
or punish him.
Immediate trial and punish
ment must be had in Europe or
it cannot and will not be done.
There is no single thing that
works so surely and effectively

we forget even the most heinous
crimes and witnesses die and in
Europe most of those who know
the war guilt are from far parts
of the world and will shortly be
gone to distant parts and so
then* will be no accusers. In the
hope that we shall be wrong, we
predict that there will be no
convictions of war criminals in
courts that America sets up.

gress, January 18. 1803, Jeffer
son, now President of the United
States, urged that trade with
the western Indians be cultiva
ted and that an expedition be
sent to explore the country as
far as the mouth of the Colum
bia River on the Pacific slope.
Congress received this idea lav-
otably and voted the sum of $2,-
500 for the expedition. Today
this sum seems insignificant for
the commonest kind of an in
vestigation would cost many
times that much. But, we must
j remember that those were not
the days of high prices and large
incomes. Most of the men ser
ved as soldiers for small pay.
and all of them lived off the
country as they went along.
They carried some provisions, of
course, but the main part of
their living came from the wild
game they encountered on the
wav.
It was necessary’ that the real
nurnose of the expedition be
kept a secret because the
country lying between the Miss
issippi and the Rocky Mountains
was held by Spain and was
known as Louisiana. If a foreign
power should invade this terri
tory without permission, it
would be considered an unfriend
ly act and might result in war
But, before the expedition was
equipped and ready to start.

CHURCH DISCIPLINE:
The New Testament is our only rule of faith and
practice. Gal. 6:16; Phil. 3:16; 2 Tim. 3:16-17. Any
thing more than that is too much; anything less than
that is not enough.
Every New Covenant command is an ordinance.
To ordain is to command—hence a commandment is
an ordinance.
Human legislation is sinful. Matt. 13:9; Mark
7:1-9; 1 Cor. 4:6; Gal. 1:8-9; Rev, 22:18-19. God has
never given any man or group of men the privilege or
right to pass rules and regulations for governing His
Church. Christ has ALL authority—legislative, exe
cutive and judicial. Matt. 28:18. He is all-sufficient
Don’t be guilty of usurping the authority of Jesus
Christ.

.DF.AS about forests have changed in the last two
decades.
Most land formerly cleared by the forest industries
was destined for agricultural use . . . . Now the country
has an abundance of farm land and the process is being
reversed. Marginal acres which never should have
been turned to field crops are turning into .TREE
FARMS.
Land which is unsuited to agriculture will produce
good trees . . . . and should he kept in continuous forest
production . . . . the most economic occupation for
nearly a third of our total land area.
OIJR harvested land, is busy growing new trees . . . .
we see to it that seedlings get a good start and protection
from fire and other natural enemies.
