their old tasks.
The question Of how to turn the
swords into plowshares is troubling the
European countries. where more than
four years of war have necessarily
transformed citizens into soldiers. Our

II no arrangements can be reached

men should avoid carrying home with

has been tho curse OF Europe and
which, even after the defeat OF Ger

have made them more American than
