This does not mean we should
overlook evil. Not in the least. We
have a duty to condemn evil in
all places where it exists. We
must condemn the evil act - but
we must not generalize about evil
doers, lumping the innocent with
the guilty. We must not confuse
the issue. We must localize it in
order to eradicate it.
It doessn’t matter what our

we do not live up to its teachings.

FINANCIAL DREAM WORLD
Study of the President’s last budget message to Con
gress indicates that the Federal debt is to reach at least
$300,000,000,000 very soon, which means $2,100 for
every man, woman and child; that the “peacetime” nor
mal expenses of government are to be doubled, trippled
and maybe quadrupled over what they were before the
war (interest alone on the debt at present is 4.5 billion)

“Since January 1, 1940, our net

less than any year since 1933, and
