Apropos the aphorism of Brother

comes to the final settlement. Eco

dairy lines nor race prejudice. In
the eyes Of economic law we are all
brothers one OF another, whether
Germans. Englishmen, Russians or
Americans.
Why In the world we don't have

more than ] can understand. As we
must share the losses with our Euro
pean brothers. after the war IL over,
why don't we have sense enough
now to rise In our might and urge
