Case of Lew Ayres
New York Tines


If all Americans believed, as Lew Ayres does, the
creed of nonresistance to evil the Nazis could do
whatever they wished in this country If all hui
mainly believed the creed there would be no
Nazis and A minute handful of Americans
do believe this creed. We have no reason to hope,
from what we know of the human mind and human
emotions that the whole world will accept it in any
time we can foresee. But let not that account
held back honest tribute to a man who gives up
rich career and faces public rdicue and contempt
because he will not hide the faith that is in him.
Those who tempted to throw stones at Lew
Ayres would do better to ask themselves what their
own faith is, and with how much forgetfulness of
the vast majority of people in this country is that
sacrifice is too great if it will help beat down the
Nazi abominaton We think that the men whose
lives and deaths have testified most eloquently to
this faith the who would come closest to
understanding Lew Ayres though disagreeng with
him to the last syllable
When those of us who aren't even eligible for the
armed services have paid every cent of our Federal
taxes cheerfully, have accepted all the little war
deprivations not only in the letter but in spirit have
put away our jealousies, private ambitions and
our intolerances have made in own lives shin
ing example of what resistance to evil can be- then
let us, if will, pass moral condemnation on non
resistance. And then, perhaps We won't wish to. 1t
is doctrine for the other worldly and for saints and
there will be enough of those to interfere with
our war efforts

That's what the president of one big company
about the production job that his firm

true but we're off to a flying start. Since Pearl

AXIS GRINDING

From the looks of some of the propaganda which
the AXIS nations have been throwing way in
recent months it looks if they have little re-
gard for the intelligence of Americans, some of
oensors have for tha people and officials OF the
tctataran nations.
one of the Nazi mouthpieces is announcer

OF course, at the time the Jap Imperial

youth that Japan's goal must be the ultimate de-

This is evidently, one of the ways in which the

fully. Although the scale of living
in the United States will fall more
than ten percent by midsummer
the consciousness of our prosperity
will prevent fault-finding.
NATIONAL ISSUES: Partisan
politics will gain attention from
this date but the SeerS warn that
criticism of Government affairs will
give comfort to the Axis. Mistakes
will be made and there will be
cause for widespread anxiety in an
unfortunate incident which may
cause the resignation of a promin-
ent official in Washington. The
will to win now should join men
and women of every point of view
in united effort that is blind 20
human weaknesses among national
leaders.
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
Among the indications of victory
seen by astrologers in their readings
of the stars is the one-year cycle
of Jupiter through Cancer which
lends great aid to the western
hemisphere. In the year follow
ing June 10 Jupiter transits four
planets in the United States chart,
all of them most promising. Over
extension in our war efforts this
month is indicated and should be
avoided The stars seem to presage
success through concentration OF
forces and gigantic assaults on the
foe.
Persons whose birthdate it is
have the augury of a year of many
benefits. Inheritances will come tc
many through the deaths of aged
relatives
Children born on this day prob
ably will be industrious, persistent
and ideahstic. They should be
highly gifted and ambitious. Sue
