BACKING Up, THE BoYs

tits good to see the American Social
Hyoiens Association joining in the
ormys crusade to protect its men from
the horpies Of vice and gambling who
swarm about every comp hoping to'sep-
orote the men from their poy and leave
them with empty pockets. q headache.
and perhaps a lifetime Of regret and
suffering.
The problem of the soldier on leave,
let it be respected, is serious one. De-
spite every possible precoution. the in
cidence of social disease tends to rise
whenever adequate facilities for Off
reservation entertainment ore lacking.
Men in barracks ore no more plaster
saints than they we're in kipline's day..
Released from heavy army duties, they
will have fun, and if opportunities for
decent wholesome fun are lacking, they
will seek whatever kind is available
The best defense here, as anywhere,
is q good offense. The positive rather
than the negative is the first point Of
ottock. So the ASIA, in its fight
against venereoI disease, touches the
key point in urging, with army outhori-
ties, proper reereotionol facilities in
towns near camps. An ounce Of preven-
ton is still worth pound Of cure.

Taylor Caldwell packs all the
crushing, relentless power of a
conqueror's rise into her story
of the youth Of Genghis Khan,
1.-THE Earth Is the Lords" (Scrib-
ners: $2.75). Most remarkable Is
the contrast drawn between
Temujin, the man of war, and
Jamuga, the man of peace, who
was Temujin's sworn brother.
From the moment of his birth,
Temujin was destined to rule.
Mongols saw the portent in
omens surrounding his entrance
into life. And his wise, Grip
pied uncle, Kurelen, furthered
the superstitious belief. .....
But Temujin was not born to
power. He created 1t. He was the
first son of a tribal leader, and
upon his fathers death he be-
came chief. He killed the broth
er who threatened his rule, warn
ed his friends and enemies that
their personal safety rested in
his own might.
Steadily he built his empire.
When enemies threatened, he
sought help from Toghrul Khan,
powerful warlord and Temujin's
foster uncle. The aged Khan saw
in this wild-red-haired youth, q
means of extending his own
power, granted aid. But he was
to regret 1t later.
Temujin varied from the path
of dictators in one respect. When
he defeated tribe, he gave the
leaders choice of allegiance to
him or death. And his Arm be.
lief in his own destiny brought
him the unquestioning loyalty Of
his soldiers and people, made
him almost a god.
Temujin was an organizer. He
created group of mobiles, gave
them power, but always his deci-
sions were Anal, his word law.
And the confederation of Mon
gols that was his dream became
fact when he defied and defeat
ed his one-time ally, Toghrul
Khan.
Only Jamuga, the peaceful,
dared to challenge him. Only
Jamuga had the wisdom to see
that conquerors come and 60, but
only in peace can lasting pro-
gress be achieved. Jamuga died
for his belief, but he won the
greater victory. Temujin was left
friendless, alone, denied even
love. There Is no room for
friends nor family in the heart
of q man who lives on death.

She was still a model, posing

But Elyse Knox hasn't the

has warmth, an interest in
every thing, and an easy
way of moving. Her figure is

to do wonderful things to bath

Such qualities don't make an

THE TIDE OF THE FUTURE

THE TIDE OF THE FUTURE
Now, at Lost, you can begin to feel
the rising of q mighty tide.
1t is Tide Of the Future, and it is
freiehted with the burden Of q new
world
There are woves, true, and one Of
them hos been described by Mrs. Lind
bereh. She sees the world helplessly
driven forward by wave which washes
it toward q life more nearly exemplified
by totolitorionism than by freedom.
But that is Wove Of the Present.
1t is the wave that has eneuIfed France,
and Norway, and Holland, and BEL
GUM. Beneath and beyond this wave
there is q mighty tide, and it is tide
Of freedom.
The time for quivering and quokine
is post. The time to hieele over what
will the totoIitorons do?" is post. The
time is post, to cover before their 3D.
voncing wave lest we be temporarily
submerged. The time to qubbIe over
"Just how democratic is Enelond?" or
what have the English done to Indio?"
is past. Whatever they ore, whatever
they have done, they fight the fight
that promises most for freedom They
ride securely on the tide which now be-
gins to rise, slowly but perceptibly now,
toward q free world;
1t is too Iote, again, to look back to
1918 and the dream that was dashed
into q million peoces-the dream Of q
peaceful, decent world, the dream Of "a
world fit for heroes to live in We won
that war and lost the prize. But that
world. thot prize, remains infinitely de-
siroble
Thank the Nozis for one thing, any,
way. They have shown us that the world
Of the future cannot be the world Of the
post Thot much is clear The security
which the Nozis now promise their peo-
pie is q security which every country
must achieve. Few cleorly-stoted war
aims have come from Churchill, but
every word from England is that the
ancient world Of privilege and position
is dead. This time the heroes ore 60
ing to make their own world
1t is on this greet Tide of the Future
that the President has launched the
United Stotes, even though to sail upon
it, some woves must be breasted.
Whether those woves will mean war for
the United States, we do not yet know.
They may, whenever the Nozi leaders
believe the United Stotes is no more
dangerous at war than as the "orsenol
Of democracy"
We do not know precisely to what
sort Of brave new world this tide Of the
future is bearing US. No bIueprints ore
drown, no guarantees established. In
detoil, in manner Of administration, no
doubt, it will be strangely different
from what we have known.
We know only that we cannot be
wrong in steering directly toward the
Four Freedoms to which the President
hos rightly dedicated all our strength
freedom to speak and to express our
selves, freedom to worship God each in
his own way. freedom from want, and
freedom from this ever-impendine feor
