By Arthur Perry
Japan is now going through
the throes of surrender, and
wants "decent treatment," some
thing she never gave herself.
e
Cong. Ellsworth spoke here
Friday and said the nation Is
being "propagandized" by re
ports and rumors concerning "a
wave of unemployment!" This
has happened to the nation, num
erous times since 1933, aided and
abetted by a well-greased "emer
gency," of which there has been
none, for quite some time. Many
politicians are predicting panic,
they hope.

The Skyrman boys (Bill and
Harry) while prowling around
the tall timber, successfully yell

It turned off chilly over the

wood piles, with or without a

The Meek Inherit the Earth?
We have given space to two modern prophets re
cently. Here is a third :
"The past two days have been days that will be remem
bered for all timel The atomic bomb has suddenly changed
our entire lives and will influence the future of all man
kind. It has suddenly made it obvious to EVERYONE that
another war is an impossibility if mankind and the world
is to continue to exist. It Is no longer possible for us to dis
cuss the merits of world collaboration it has suddenly
become a necessity with no alternative except death and
the extinction of the human race.
"Man has never before been faced with such a decision.
He must now, immediately decide whether he is going to
learn to live with all races of mankind In peace and tran
quility and humility or at a moment's notice destroy all that
mankind has developed and learned during countless cen
turies. Now, the entire matter is out of our hands. We have
one simple decision to moke, and there is only one decision
that can be mode. All previous differences that nations and
men have had have suddenly become meaningless and of no
importance. Now we have to solve our problems.
"If we have finally been shocked Into the terrible
necessity of cooperation, then this terrible weapon is indeed
a boon to progress in the world. Truly the scientific man
has now outstripped the social man. Now the social sci
ences, the science of living with our fellow man, must be
developed at tremendous speed and with awe-Inspiring thor
oughness. We are grossly unprepared for the task ahead
of us, and we can only hope that the people of the world
realize what must bo done and begin at once to do it.
"Not a second must be lost. Every teacher, every
professor, every social worker now has a job that surpasses
in Importance that of any other man on earth. Truly the
meek have inherited tho earth! Now we will see if they are
capable of preserving It.
"The war will be over in a matter of days. To say any
thing else at a time such as this would be stupid and un
necessary. The first prophecy was by a well known financier.
the second was by a scientist, this third one comes
from a young man at the front and was written a
week before Japan surrendered.
His name is Cyril Sander, he is an Army Sergeant
stationed on a small island in the Philippines. The
letter was written to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. F. C.
Sander, Rt. 2, Box 259, Medford, and we are glad to
give it space, for by all odds it is to date the best thing
on this vitally important subject we have seen.
R.W.R.
Right Is Might?
Some people believe there is a God. Others don't.
Still others bluntly state they don't know.
The latter undoubtedly find a certain satisfaction
in Voltaire's famous dictum:
"If there were no God, It
Him."
DEGARDLESS of one's theological views, however,
we believe the war just closed has done more to
strengthen a belief in the determining force of a fund
amental moral law than anything that has happened
in modern times.
And this benefit has by no means been restricted
to the victorious nations. In fact it probably will be
even more wide-spread and profound among the de
feated. For after all most human beings, whatever the
color of their skin, have a conscience a fair sense
of what is rinfht and what isn't. And however they
may fall for the sophistry of
to the emotional impact of war propaganda; sooner
or later that candle throws its little beam and if their
country has taken the wrong road they finally sense
it within, even though they may never openly ac
knowledge it.
But whether this is tine
be a certain soul searching
modern nation to somehow
possible such an overwhelming defeat as Oermany
and .Tanan have suffered.
"Why, why?" will be the inevitable ciy, "we had
the war won, we reached our goal in an incredibly
short time, and then! the tide turned mysteriously
and thereafter nothing but one defeat after another
until finally came the end! WHY?
e a e e e
A ND then the pay-off that atomic bomb.
Some of the best scientists and researchers in the
world are Germans. Japan is not as many miles be
hind as most people suppose it was a Japanese who
discovered the vitamin.
It is known now that both countries had been
working frantically to perfect the bomb that the
United States alone finally produced.
Can you imagine what would have happened to
the world if either enemy had succeeded? The pic
ture is almost too hideous to contemplate literally
the people of this country and the rest of the world
would have been helpless nbioet slaves, over night!
But neither Axis country did!
WHY?
Because the Anglo-Americans are a super-race
superior to and smarter than any other? Hardly
and anyway that race superiority stuff is Fascist
ideology.
Jt luck? Mebbe so.
And then again mebbe not.
e e e e e
AT any rate this department believes that not only
the most general explanation, but in many ways
the most plausible one, is to deny another of Vol
taire's cynical dictums that "God is always on the side
of the heaviest battalions," and maintain, either He
or some tremendously powerful moral force is invar
iably behind those who are ritrht and against those
who are wrong! The Second World War certainly
furnished strong evidence

statement accompanying Mr.
Truman's executive order that
the end of government operation
would ge gradual and no attempt
would be made to return all the

"It was our unanimous agree

for the administration 'that

The word is a lie anyway. Al

This is the whole truth, the un

good money like that.

use of Gas for commercial and domestic use . . . With
clean, quick, safe Gas now available for cooking, refriger

years have demonstrated the trouble-free dependability
of Gas for many household and commercial needs. We
