NOT IN PARTNERSHIP
WITH GOD

Norman H. Parks ormer Valley Editor,
in the Indio Date Palm)
He'll hit Cologne, German industrial
city, few days ago when 120 allied air
planes dropped their thousands of tons
of bombs from one end of the place to
the other Over seven hundred and fifty
thousand people live there. Tens of
thousands of civilians, many of them
little children, must have been killed.
The city itself is in utter ruins.
The news was thrilling We applauded.
We were delighted Yes, the writer was,
too. And why not! This is war. There is
nothing Christian about war. God is
not in partnership with either side. Relig-
ion and war do not mix 1t is blasphomy
to prattle about the Almighty being with
us.
The Sermon on the Mount says nothing
about killing your neighbor, even when
provoked by war, pillage and rape 1t
says on the other hand, turn the other
cheek
But this is earth, not heaven.
If we are to be free, we must fight
thousand more.
The Germans asked for it-and the
other day they got it. And it is just be-
ginner In the old war, we made excuses
for the German people. The thing was
being forced upon them. No such ex-
cuses GO today. They approve the govern
ment of Hitler. They approve the slav-
evry of conquered peoples They approve
the robbery of the overrun lands. They
countenance the rape of girls and women
in the subjected areas outside of Ger

lightful when the Nazis bombed helpless

secuted and unhappy race.
Yes, hell has broken out over Germany.
And we are glad. But being glad is no
manifestation of Christianity 1t is not
the teaching of Christ The Ten Com
mandments said, "Thou shalt not kill"
They did not qualify that command.
The fact is that the veneer of civiliza-
ton is but veil.
When we are in the jungle we must
fight like beasts. We are fighting like
beaSts-worse than beasts. Beasts kill
that they may eat We kill little children,
or dismember them to live on a lifetime
in misery. We haven't even the excuse
of the beasts, that we must kill or starve.
Every day we grow more savage. To-
morrow it will be poison gas. AS sure
as tEo sun sets this evening, every in
strumentality or horror will be turned
loose by this war Poison gas or more
horrible things will come, if invented by
the vaunted genius of man.
The end? Do not ask God: He is not
concerned with this affair. He may de-

Miss Chatterton addressed the
script with a full appreciation OF
its airiness and romantic fluff. The
bristling ships of dialogue gather
force and vigor with the flourish pro-

second act climax with its record
