men refuse to be realists and admit that modern
warfare has become more hideous in its destruc-
tive force than it was during the World War. and
that therefore, as war nowadays will smash
civilians an1 noncombatants more than ever
before in world history; second, all the more
reason why the civilian population of a nation
should have the right to vote on whether they
want to join in war brought on by mere
handful of Government authorities.
Mr.. Hull may deplore bombings of civilians
as may we all, but what's the sense of condemning
these things when we cheerfully barge ahead
and build up fleets of bombing machines to drop
the bombs? London was bombed by the Germans
in the World War. Britain had fleet of bomberS
ready in 1918 to bomb Berlin, and only the
armistice cut off that raid. We ourselves are
building the worlds mightiest, longest;range
bombers.
"Deplores"-andP Plans
The Russians, in Geneva, have been deploring
the China bombings of Japan. If Russia and
Japan clash in war, one of the Reds first moves
will be to send clouds of bombers from Vladi
vostok to reduce Tokyo tc ruins-civans and
all. And it is sheer fantasy to imagine we our
selves won't destroy civilians of an enemy nation
when we plunge into another war.

still cannot understand why apparently under
so much beauty there lies so much pain and
ugliness. But suppose it must be so, even as it
is with the human beings. The struggle to
survive in the animal kingdom and the struggle
onward and upward in human life is the only
way ever to reach infinity.
Nothing Is Still
Nothing stands still in this world. The uni
verse would be overrun very shortly into thick
mass of jungle and weeds if it weren't for the
scavengers who keep them down. Men would
go back and soon lose their power to judge right
from wrong or beauty from ugliness.
Yes think my little animal friends and the
lovely trees and flowers have about the same
problems facing them as we have facing us.
We have the beautiful sunsets and the beauties
of nature to see and enjoy when we are clear
eyed and have peace in our souls But when
trouble, pain and sickness come, while the beauty
is still all around u.s. we are like the little ground
hogs. We dig deeper and deeper into our misery
and suffering and for us no beauty exists
There is only one everlasting beauty in the
human being regardless of whether he can see
or hear it, and that is beauty in his own soul
when he has faith and believes in God.
