PULSE OF

WE WILL WIN
THIS WAR

Editor The Times Please
permit me to declare, We will
win the war.
1t is actually true-'In God
we live, move and have our be-
ing. The Kingdom of God is
within" This is true, not be-
cause Jesus and Paul declared
1t, but they proclaimed it be-
cause 1t Is true in the actually
of Life. and is affirmed by
science and philosophy.
Since this is actually true We
may, for we are equipped to do
20, tune into the Life-waves OF
Gods Invisible Nature and re-
ceive instruction. Jesus declared
that the Spirit of Truth, when
accepted. would lead into all
Truth. Because of this l af-
firm with the utmost confidence
that we will win this war. Then
we must establish a true De-
mocracy according to the funda-
mental declaration OF our Con-
stitution - the inalienable right
Of the individual to live his own
life according 10 the spirit, prin-
ciple and laws of Life. He must
be Free to labor and work I'M
hindered by any restrictions.
For this purpose we will win the
war.
God is calling for true de-
mocracy in which every single
individual right is safeguarded
as guaranteed by our Constitu-
ton. Class conflict must be
abolished. The government OF
the People. BY the People. For
the People must arbitrate be-
tween Labor and Capital.
The duty of a Democracy is
that OF supervision over all re-
lstionships effecting the public.

The World war has now be-
come a compartmentalized az
fair, in the opinion of our mill
tary analysts. Each major ma
ton has a separate function in
crushing the foe, depending on
geography. naval and military
strength. natural and economic
resources. As great land pow
er Russia has the job of hold
ing and bleeding Hitler while on
the Eastern front. She also pre-
vents Germany from reinforcing
the Japanese and vice versa.
China will continue TO immobi-
lie millions of the little brown
brothers in the Orient 1t will
be Britain's task to knock Italy
out of the war. and to clear
North Africa of the Axis. Her
fleets in the Mediterranean and
the Atlantic will undertake the
problem of blockading Europe
from the rest of the world.
Uncle Sans assignment will
be to crack Japan and to mobil-
ize the total economic force of
the Western Hemisphere. Al
