WE MUST RE-EDUCATE THE ENEMY
The road to victory, we feel, will be a long one. W ith the fighting at
an end, we hear more and more about "winning the peace.” Just what is
winning the peace? As we see it, it means we must attempt to bring
about a condition whereby there will be no more wars. Another war,
with the frightful weapons which we now have or which could be
brought to production, would about eliminate the civilized world.
Since it has been a couple of weeks or more since Japan asked for
peace terms, it seems to us that she has given us plenty of warning that
she will attempt to erase the defeat she has suffered by another war in
some future date when she can more fully prepare for it. It will be up
to the Allies to see that such a thing will not be possible again.
In Europe trials of war criminals are under way, as they no doubt
will be in Japan soon. The old militarists of those defeated countries
must be uprooted and done away w ith entirely, so that there can be no
militarist leaders for another war. That probably will not be so difficult
to do, but what about the generation of soldiers and especially the
younger generation coming on now ?
Surely the democratic nations must attempt to re-educate the younger
generation, beginning at the ground level, so to speak and continuing
their education until they are grown. Only with a newly educated
generation or two , educated in the ways of peace, can we hope to wean
those militaristic nations away from war. And it would seem to us that,
an allied army commission, or some civilian commission, must supervise
the schooling of those conquered countries for many years. It will in­
deed be a long and costly duty, but we believe the only way by which
those countries can be made to follow the paths of peace, instead of
the trail of war.

Herewith is a poem handed in by one of the business men of Ash­
land, who prefers he u?.*t remain anonymous.
Nose t b i t the tear it 01 er, and the guns are laid aside,
W'e’se icon our greatest battle in our good old Yankee stride,
U e are the conquering nation and we have a righteous pride;
W e’ve proied our might and courage o'er tbit old world so wide.
Before we settle down and start throwing out our chest,
L et’s consider wbat it is that makes this country blest.
W hy should we have privileges any more than all tbe rest,
A nd are we really all alone in riding on tbe crest?
W e’ll sing tbe praises of our heroes brace,
Whose sacrifices brought tbe world out from oblivion’s cave,
Those who died we mourn, and for them our tears we save,
Their memory prevents another maniac this world to deprave.
W'r should be thankful for our guns, and ships and planes and tanks,
Whose very being sprang from skillful workmen’s ranks—
Determined, cheerful, workmen, pblanax on pblanax;
Deserving and recening all tbe nation’s thanks.
L et’s bless tbe land so rich in Nature's store,
A nd a land w ith privileges and opportunities galore.
Whose people have no need to go to war—
But fin d their happiness increasing more and more.
Let's keep the peace and all the world’s respect—
A ll underhanded alliances reject.
L et’s pick no quarrel w ith race or creed or sect,
And aluays weaker nations let’s protect.
