To the Editor:
In my six monthi residence In
thU delightful valley I want to
compliment you on the snappy
paper you furnish your readers.
It's well set up, of convenient
size, carrying a fine assortment
of display advertising, and al
ways a page or more of classi
fied offerings in great variety.
Almost everything under the
sun, believe it or not.
It has been my intention for
some weeks to drop you a line
of congratulations, on the splen
did editorials appearing very
regularly, on that important
page of a daily paper. Tonight's
editorial, Aug. Z4in, iwny jveep
Up The Farce?) is a masterpiece
of good common sense, as wen
as sound advice to every citizen,
regardless of his politics. It
would be a step forward for the
nation, if more editors would
express themselves as forcefully
and as clearly on political mat
ters as the top man of the Med
ford Mail Tribune does so fre
quently.

A Praysr August 14, 1945
To the editor: May all the peo
ples on this earth come to the
realization that they are one
flesh and blood, and that the best
Interests of any nation are like
wise the best for all. That no
people can Injure another with
out harm to itself, ana tnai sel
fish national Interest leads only
to disaster.
Let us pray that the efforts of
every nation henceforth and for
ever n:orp. ba consecrated to the
thought that mankind is one,
and that for any nation to at
tempt to destroy another, is like
unto a hand mutilating a part
of its own body.
May every nation strive with
heart and mind to come to a ful
ler realization that all must
henceforth be on the same side
the side of mankind, and not
fighting one against another, but
joined in holy purpose towards
n understanding of the needs of
its fellow-nations, with one and
the same end in view, the pre
servation and the well-being of
the human race.
Let us know in our hearts that
then, and then only, will there
be an end to conflict, so that
knowledge can be used through
out the world, not for destruc
tion, but for beneficent creation,
with good will toward men, serv
ing Thine Infinite Purpose.
We ask it in Thy Name.
Amen.

What One O. I. Thinks
To the editor: With all the
discussion going on regarding
the occupation of Japan, I be
lieve these exerpta from a letter
Just received from a service man
in the Pacific theatre gives us
n Idea of the thinking of the
service man, especially those
who are maimed and have chil
dren. "I guess you folks are all
thrilled over the capitulation of
Japan well I don't think any
one is more thrilled than the
fellows over here. Now It Is all
over they are all worried (along
with myself) that they shall
draw occupation duty, If so I
guess I shall go native, because
it would be years before we
would get home. I haven't said
anything to the wife about this,
for I know it would break her
heart, I pray It will not haupen
to us. I was reading an editmlal
In regards to whom should form
the occupation forces. I shall
quote a couple of paragraphs for gum. etc., came In. but if they !
your Information. got any oi u iney naa w Duy u
" 'Pacific soldiers feel that I from the officers.
j If the people back home are de
j termined to create the angriest
group in our nation's history,
! they can succeed by informing
the men overseas, the occupation
lob is thcir's until it's finished.
" 'In effect they'll be telling
them they're a lost generation,
that they're trapped and there's
nothing they can do about it.' "
" T guess I am not alone when
I say I believe in those senti
ments brought forth by the edi
tor in his editorial. Take for in
stance the many hundreds of
young men who have been de
ferred as essential to the war
effort. , With the conclusion of
the war their essentiality ceases.
Why not extend an Invitation to
them to don a uniform and as
sume part of the responsibilities
of policing the conquered na
tions? Granted that they work
ed hard and turned out goods
when it was needed, but in do
ing so they remainedf in contact
with the pleasures of the home
front, retaining their feeling of
Independence to a large degree
and were reasonably reimbursed
for their efforts.' "

Medford, Ore.
"All" Right Not On Our Side
To the Editor:
If, as you say in Sunday's
euuuriai, uoa was on our side
in mis war and that a powerful
moral force was the factor
which allowed us to be the first
to succeed with the atomic
bomb, I wonder if we do not
draw too hasty a conclusion if
we say "God is on the side of
the right.
Right and wrong are rarely
unmixed black and white; es
pecially is this true In time of
war. In all humility can we
not say then that God Is giving
us a second chance?
None of us doubt that Ameri
ca had MORE right on her side,
but can you call our years of
economic support of the Axis
militarism all "right", or the
losing struggle of the common
people of Europe and Asia for
security entirely "wrong ?
Victory and peace are Infin
itely more thrilling and we feel
the challenge much more deeply
if we realize that rather than
our 'rightness' winning, Ameri
ca has been given another
chance to use her wealth of edU'
cation and natural resources to
alleviate the suffering of the
world.
Let us treat the causes of war
rather than the symptoms, and
re-dedicate the riches we have
inherited to correcting social
and economic Ills thruo'it the
world! We CAN do It But
will we?

The Sugar Scandal
To the editor: Five pounds of
sugar each person, so we are
told Is to last us until New
Years. That is Hi lbs. each of
the four months. Last night I
measured out 1 1 i lbs. of sugar
then I measured out how many
teaspoonsful that would be. It
is 2 and a small fraction day.
We use more than that Just for
our breakfast.
In last night's Tribune there
was two news Items that you
can put together and get en
lightenment. One was about
some folks in Pennsylvania had
company from Nova Scotia who
brought four pounds of butter 1
with them, all bearing the brand
of a firm not 30 miles from
where they were visiting. The i
other Item was about the army J
heads refusing to say how much 1
butter was on hand now that
the wor Is over. j
No doubt the sugar is going
the same way. I
If our fighting units of the
army were getting good food we
wouldn't say a word. One of our ,
boys wrote home that there was
a big shipment of candy and

CS j KEEP AMERICA STRONG
ON Labor Day, 1945, we pay fitting tribute to the men and
women of American Labor who have contributed so much to
Victory for our country and the United Nations! Through their

manned by gallant American fighting men have brought to us
the "ultimate triumph" we have strived for so long. May the use
fulness of Labor carry on into the days of peace and win for us an
other great battle the economic strength of America for the
future!
