Discuss Terms for Peace.
If had the power today 1 would
ask each warning nation throughout
the world: what are your terms
for peace?" l would have all the
world know and discuss these terms,
adjust them, modify them; concede
this island there, that trade conces-
sion there. 1 would have the Presi-
dents opinion, the pope's opinion,
the opinions of rulers and kings. 1
would know at last just what all
these men are fighting for; just what
trade advantages were threatened
when these great nations went into
war.

Try Gods Way.
We know only one thing of this
war. It will have to end. One side,
the side counting the most ruin and
the most dead, will take a certain
amount of ruin and loss when 1t
ends. The other side will take slight
ly less. Both will retire to lick
their wounds, bury their dead, and
begin to rebuild. They've done this
since the days of Charlemagne;
they'll continue to follow this pat
tern until there slowly seeps into
hearts OF the rulers and war-makers
mot the people, not the men and
women who die in the wars and
pay for the wars!-but the rulers
and war-makers, that it might be
as well to try Gods way.
1t might be as well to see how
long these Boosting dictators would
last, with God against them. How
long injustice and religious intoler-
ance could flourish, with All-power-
full God opposing them. How quick
ly little centers of love and faith
and brotherhood would spread until
they touched borders, and all His
world be inundated with the green
ness and glory of peace and conf
dence and security.
Until that day begins let's blame
men, the insincere men who say
love and live hate, who say for
giveness and live revenge. If ever
we really turn to God He will not
fail us. But until we do let's at
least refrain from blaming Him for
what we do.

ENGLAND'S POSITION
IMPROVES

Little by little the British position
has improved. Gallant Greek vic
tories, the triumphant march Of
British forces across North Africa,
the daring of the royal navy in the
Mediterranean, all have helped to
balance the scales of war.
In addition, Admiral Leahy's sea-
dog diplomacy in Vichy is reported
70 nave had some effect upon Cen
eral Weygand, to whom he has
promised American gasoline and
Oil; while the passage of the lease
lend bill is found to have tremen-
dous reverberations throughout all
Europe.
furthermore, preliminary reports
indicate that the trip of Wendell
Willkie had a stirring effect, not
only upon British morale, but upon
Germany. The fact that the son of
q German sent an anti-Hitler mes
sage to the German people is bound
to percolate beneath the surface.
Germany cannot forget that it was
American entrance into the World
war which finally turned the tide
and defeated the kaiser And that
is why the Willkie visit plus the
lease-lend bill are so important.
Both indicate an American people
united regardless of politics.
Second Battle Of Marine.
Hitler's position today is not I'M
like that of Germany after the
Battle Of the Marine in World War
/. In the first Battle of the Marine
German troops came within IA miles
OF Paris, could have taken the city
had they not stopped to CONSOLE
date their forces. But not knowing
what lay ahead, they waited for re-
Inducements, giving General Joffre
time to send his "taxicab army"
from Paris.
German defeat at the Marine
turned back the tide of the war in
1914, and by the time the German
army had come back for the sec
ond Battle Of the Marine in 1915, the
Allies had modified sufficient
strength to stop them.
Similarly, Hitler's forces last
summer probably could have taken
England had they pushed immedi-
ately across the channel to the dis
organized British Isles after the fall
Of France. But uncertain of what
lay ahead, Hitler waited, and with
typical German efficiency CONSOLE
dated his position on the Continent.
This gave the British just enough
time to hold back a Nazi invasion
last September in the first Battle
Of the Marne," 1910 version.
Soon will come the Second Battle
OF the 1941 Marne-the second at
tempt to invade England. Into that
second attempt Hitler is going to
put more than ever before He may
succeed. But on the other hand,
the British are in a far stronger
position now to withstand invasion,
and if they do withstand it, sooner
or later the war will veer toward
them.

Psyche Analyst

horse of all time. His trainer, the
silver-haired Tom Smith, probably
was lnconSpicuous, as usual, but
without him there would have been
no Seabiscuit saga of speed, dollars
and romance.
Silent Tom," as they call him
around the tracks, was a rodeo rid
er, cowhand, prospector and black
smith in Colorado, Wyoming, and
Montana. About four years ago,
Charles S. Howard, later owner of
SeabiScuit, hired him to train the
Howard stable, then unknown to
fame. The new trainer discovered
Seabiscuit on an out-of-the-way New
England track and persuaded Mr..
Howard to buy him for $4,000. The
horse has earned $437,73O.
Mr.. Smith Is probably the only
horse pSychO-analyst In the
world. He was about three
years old when he started being
q horse-wrangIer and learned
things about horses that nobody
else ever suspected. Naturally,
he became an amateur veteri-
marian, but psychology helped \
lot in bringing through Seabis-
cult. The nag was fussy and
given TO brOOding. Long before,
Tom had learned that pleasant
cOmpanlOnship is necessary for
horse Well-being. After few ex-
periments, he picked for Seabis-
cults stablemate an amiable
old swaybacked roam named
Pete. They nickered and muz-
Eled each other happily and Sea-
biscuit began to pick of purses.
OF course what happened was
that Seabiscuit's ego was bucked
up by having somebody around
he knew he could beat.

for the Howard stable are MiolanC

$50 PENSIONS

SoU fENSlONS
Mrs. Roosevelt's recent statement
In a pension magazine, favoring a
$3O-a-month federal pension, tips off
what the President has up his sleeve
on broadening the Social Security
act.
During the 1910 campaign and IN
his annual message to congress, he
advocated a revision of the law by
which a fiat federal pension would
be substituted for the existing state
contributory system. Also he pro-
posed enlarging the scope of the law
and adding medical features. He
gave no details, but here is what
he is planning:
Cd A federal annuity for all
Senior citizens" over IS, without a
means test; in other words, re-
CARELESS of their financial condition.
~ In states where a larger pen
sion already is paid, as in Califor-
mia, which pays $40 monthly (haK
from the state and half from the
government), the difference be-
tween $50 and the larger sum would
be made up by the state. This
would apply only TO California, the
only state paying more than $50.
The next closest is Colorado with
$29.68. Twenty-one others pay $50
or slightly more.
(3) Extend unemployment insur-
ance to groups not now covered,
such as seamen and farm workers.
(4) A nationwide program of
medical and hospital service for
Iow-income groups.
Roosevelt will submit his recon-
mendations in special message to
congress sometime this month. He
already has had several private dis
cusslons with Sen. Sheridan Downey
OF California, No. / Townsendite on
Capitol Hill, and Sen. Jimmy
Byrnes, astute South Carolina legis-
latlve adviser.
Personally, Downey favors a pen
sion of $50 after go, but realizes
That he has no chance at this time.

Lists Fire Bomb e%pIosiye
As Head DeDil of bombs and
Destructive Might gas and put
ting the fin
ger on the incendiary bomb as the
head devil of the hosts of destruc-
ton. Just out is his book, THE
ABC of IncendiarieS," in which he
insists that current European bomb
ing forays are pretty clumsy bust
ness, since the high explosives con-
stitute a defense against the spread
of fire started by the incendiaries.
Remembering how they blew up
buildings to check the spread of
the big San Francisco fire, one finds
the professors idea plausible.
DR.. Zanetti was a lieutenant colo
mel of the chemical warfare service
in World war No. l, and from 1922
to 1926 was a consulting expert of
the League of Nations in studies of
chemical warfare. experimenting
this experience with academic and
industrial studies of many years, he
has become a world authority on
bombs and what to do about them
If anything.
His main idea is that gas dis
sipateS and fire proliferates-
therefore look out for incendiary
bombs. In January, 1886, he
wrote in university publication
that fire bombs would be the
worst peril of the next big war.
TwO-pound fire bombs could be
sprayed over a city and one ef-
fective hit out of 200 dropped
might start 200 fires in widely
separated places. He cries
down alarmists about gas. He
thinks it would be just as we'll
to do away with slums, as a de-
Tense measure because of their
vulnerability to fire.
DR.. Zanetti was born in Santo Do
mingo in 1885, came to the U.S.A.
In 1900, was naturalized in 1906 and
In 1907 took his doctorate from Har-
ward university. He joined the Co
lumbia university faculty in 1913,
