One planet indivsible
With liberty and justice for all.
To reach a solution where the people of all nations
might repeat that pledge together to be the broad
aim of the present day 1t has probably been general
aim of humanity since mankind first inhabited the
earth
Now, with the world at war, the hope of mankind is
it has been in all major of the past that this will
be the war to end
AS each nation in the world becomes more and more
international in its trading and in its thinking every
nation that its welfare depends upon the welfare
and activities of other nations.
There many in America who would like to build
wall around country and forget the rest of the
world. But without considering the arguments for and
against such solaonst policy, all of realize
that government is pledged to policy of inter
tOnalism Whether like it not interests have
been thrown in with the interests of Europe Asia, South
America and Africa And nations leaders are trying
to envision League of Nations stronger than anything
dreamed of in the past which after the war will lead all
countries to work together under government of the
world.
1t may not be in the lifetime of any of living
that such solution will become actuality But it is
good food for dreams The trouble that wars while
they breed friendships between allies at the time
deepen the enmy between those fighting another.
When Orson Weles frightened thousands of people
with his radio dramazaon of invasion by the people
of the planet Mars he parhaps limited at the solution If
the world had common enemy-an enemy that demand
ed the uniting of all nations the globe to defeat it
that would bring about the world solidarity being sought
But perhaps day we can agree that itself
is the enemy of the whole world and unite in crusade of
all nations to drive it from the face of the earth.

STIMSON VS.. WHEELER

America took real step forward toward the much
footed unity which seeking when Secretary of War
stmson apogized to Senator Wheeler for charging him
ed his apology.
These two at opposit poles so far as their
views this countrys participation in the
cerned Secretary Smson had accused Senator Wheeler
actions treason charging him with deliberately
crcularzing soldiers to resist the extension of military
service.
Wheeler had countered with the charge that
Secretary Stimson leading "smear campaign of
warmongers 1t looked like knOckdOwn drag-Out fight
when Secretary Stimson dramatically issued statement
saying:
II believe that he (Senator Wheeler) has shown
the soldiers in the training camps. am sorry that
the basis of incomplete evidence | made
statement last week which carried contrary mpi-
cations"
Following that statement, Senator Wheeler comment
ed: 1T very decent thing for him to do

ment attributed to Voltaire.

items, probably means that silk
stockings will also be a major
scarcity of nylon hosiery, since
nylon production equipment is not
able to fill more than a small por-
ton of our nations demand for
silk, and nylon is also being used
in defense industries.
Although this is in the nature of
a minor tragedy to fashionable
women, a real tragedy faced the
ITS 900 workers in the silk weav-
ing industry in this country who
were threatened with loss of their
jobs. To protect them, the Office
of Price Administrator issued an
emergency order that all rayon
yarn producers set aside portion
of their stock and of their daily
output for a government pool
which will supply the material to
silk mills so that they may make
rayon stockings and dresses to re-
place their silk production.
This order, however. is creating
scarcity of rayon in the factories
| which now make rayon goods,
which will call for further adjust
ing and a future scarcity of rayon.
1t also is likely to lead to major
increases in the price of silk,

Washington, D. c. (NWNS)-
Women standing six deep at the
stocking counters in department

hit home when American women
were informed by defense authori-
ties here that they may soon be
unable to buy any silk stockings
at all. Although the protests were

oppose doing business with Japan
even if it does mean the end of

PRICE CONTROL VS. STRIKES
| contend that prices can not be
controlled without eliminating
strikes, and curbing labor. The
people are thinking that something
must be done, that 80 percent of
labor trouble is caused by Nazis,
communists and other subversives.
1t is unbelievable that any Ameri-
can Citizen, who has the best
interests of the Nation at heart,
would go out On a strike of his
own free will and accord.
These stnikes are no doubt
cans, so why cannot oor President
and Congress pht stop to such
racketeering, it is only a racket,
there must be a stop.
The success of our Nation de-
pends on the National Unity of
our people as a whole, and when
our boys are in the army, drawing
the small army pay, there are
thousands out on strikes for
salaries that are absolutely out of
reason. and impossible to be paid,
it we are to control prices of COM
modities of all kinds, and to give
the necessary and prompt aid to
our neghbors and democricies.
One of our greatest Arizona
mining companies, the Phelps
Dodge Corporation, in business for
some forty or fifty fears, have
operated without union control all
these years. Now the unions want
closed shop, SO they can tell
their employers just what to do,
who to hire and fire, so they can
| shut down the plant if not obeyed
by the owners of the company,
yes, and to hold up production,
when the unions think production
is too great.
1t is the hope and prayer of all
good loyal American citizens, that
these labor racketeers will be
handled, and handled in a man
ner that will speed up production,
keep wages down to a level that
will allow our people to continue
living on a standard they have
heretofore been accustomed to, let
every man work that wants to
work, and not be forced by sub
versive-union leaders to walk out
and lay down their tools, in this
the greatest crises ever known by
our Nation.
Can something not be done
about this matter before it is too
late. Here is to the National
Unity of all Senators and Repre-
sentatives, and all people of the
Democratic Nations of the earth.
Sincerely yours,

the answer to everything and then
set the people free!"
1t sounted as easy as pie. Com
Ing from an older man it would
have sounded like the rawlings of
a madman, but from this boy, al
though amusing, it merely ex-
emplified the scope of ambitions
which yooth can feel before ex-
perience rears its discouraging
head.
'HINNERS practically
Most adults laugh at the impul-
slVe, untested ideas of youth. 1t
Is a common practice among most
Of us to put damper on them
TO puff up with experience and
say, wait a minute! Not so fast!
Hold on! It'll never work! You
can't do that! It's impractical!
Too theoretical! You'll Learnt"
But maybe we are the ones who
are wrong-adults who laughed at
the idea of steamboat, Knocked
the horseless carriage, guffawed at
the telephone, and thought the
Wright brothers were couple of
lunatics who wanted to be birds.
The ideas of a 12-year-old boy,
or an 1S-year-old boy may need a
lot of Tightening up and adjusting,
but basically these youngsters
may have something new to add
to our store of ideas-new angles
that represent the philosophy of
1860.
IDEAS birth
Before We put the clamps on
Juniors ideas, it's worthwhile to
review our own thinking before
we reached maturity.
Do you remember the ideas you
had when you were in your teens?
1 know l do and | think in general
l had better ideas then than |
nave ever had since. Maybe a lot
or them weren't practical, but
secretly cherish them.
Look up in the attic of your
mind. Dust off some of those wild
conclusions which at one time
meant so much to you. Maybe they
were rough-edged and incomplete,
but don't they contain something
basic, which, if they hadn't met
SO much resistance, might have
been of some use to you or to the
world?
1t is the thorey of some philoso-
pliers that no new ideas are ever
added to the worlds original fund
OF ideas. All the ideas which we
call new, according to their the
cries, are just rehashing of old
ideas.
But If there is such thing as a
new idea-if society is going to
discover better ways to get along
1T seems likely that those ideas
VIII be borne to new minds rather
than old. We are all pretty fami-
liar with the workings Of the lead
ing adult minds of our day. For
something new, let's look to the
new models-the minds which
nave been untested but may come
TO us with fresh, original thoughts.

The other day l heard an under
sized I2-year-old boy solve all the
problems of the world. 1t all
sounded very easy. He knew what
was wrong, why it was wrong and
what ought to be done about 1t.
/ don't know who the boy was.
| just overheard him talking to
his aunt in a restaurant pricked
up my ears when heard his eager
voice say, Gee, IL ! could only be
dictator of the world for just "a
hours!"
"You must do something to get
the problems of the world off your
shoulders" his aunt told him. She
suggested that he join the Boy
Scouts, go away to camp and en-
Joy the things other boys his age
are enjoying. you're too nervous
and high-strung for a boy your
age" she said.
But he would have none of this
getting-away-from-it-all stuff. He
wanted to stay right in the thick
of things.
"YOu don't understand what's
going on" he informed her, But
l can see the worlds walking right
into trap. l don't mean the war.
The wars just part of 1t. l mean
trap made of lies. The trouble
gether when you can't believe
anybody.
"Lookit," he went on confiding-
ly, "how can you expect people
and countries to get along to-
gether when youn can't believe
anybody? Even my history books
are just written to tell me what
somebody wants me to believe. No
kidding, there's nobody l can trust
not Roosevelt, or Churchill or
my teachers, or even my friends
And that's what is going to ruin
the world"

My young philosopher friend
was just as excitable when he
talked about going off the para
chute jump in an amusement park
as he was over the problems OF
the world. Although precocious, he
still had an interest in boyish
things. n
But it was hard to believe that
the discussion of the world situa
ton, to which his conversation al
ways went back, was coming from
the mouth f the small boy at the
table next to me. He really intend
ed to do something about it and
his ambitions were limitless.
