Indorses Appeal sfor Unity
OF Two Branches Of Church.

To the Editor Of The Star:
wish to thank The Star for the
editorial on unity between the Presby-
terians and the Episcopalians as ap-
pealed for by Bishop Freeman at Wash
ington Cathedral last Sunday.
Being the daughter of a stanch Pres
byterian elder and of Scotch descent on
my mothers side, am, of course, Pres
byterian, but have always loved the
Episcopal service. The important thing,
however, in unity is to maintain the
vital fundamentals true to the evangel-
ical faith, abolishing minor differences.
If this can be done and full surrender
made to Gods will in all policies of the
church government. then I should say
unity of these two great faiths would be
a scource Of Christian strength.

Argues for Suppression Of Manufacture
OF Alcoholic Beverages In Wartime.
To the Editor Of The Star:
1t is indeed pleasure to be able to
enjoy newspaper such as yours without
running into liquor ads. That is one
reason have subscribed to The Star so
many years. 1t is the best newspaper
in the country. You are to be COM
mended for this, and I sincerely trust
that you will never print another liquor
or beer ad.
Anything that causes so much misery,
poverty, inef1iciency, disease, loss of self
respect, accidents and deaths as the use
of alcoholic drinks should be stamped
out of this grand country of ours.
There is talk OF banning the sale~of
alcoholic drinks near camps. But what
about the civilian workers? They are
exempted from military service because
of their families and given defense or
other essential jobs. How can they eff
GENTLY do their work when they are
privileged to drink unlimited quantities
of alcoholic beverages? How many man
hours are lost daily by unrestricted,
overindulgence in alcoholic drinks?
To safeguard our soldiers, manpower
and morale on the home front, why not
convert all alcoholic manufacturing
plants to full time production for war
purposes? The consumers of alcoholic
drinks are saboteurs. ANNE GRAV1TT.
Wants War Aims Stated
For Encouragement Of Allies.
To the Editor Of The Star:
We, the people of the United States Of
America, are just getting into our stride
about to add our 18s and los to the all
out war.
What are we fighting for? Why, obvi-
ously, we were attacked.
Yes, Pearl Harbor will ever rank as
the acme of treachery among presumed
civilized nations. When attacked, even
an animal fights back. 1t is the first law
of nature-and the jungle.
But every mother who gives a son,
every wife husband, every sister q
brother, I think, would like to feel that
our cause is somewhat greater than that.
In way-a vague wayne are given
to understand that the battle is for uni
versal freedom of man, versus hated
totalitarian rule. But does everybody
believe that?
Wendell Willkie found that many who
would be our friends-who share our
hatred Of the Axis powers-are yet
doubtful of our (the United Nations)

peoples

pose in this all-out global war? Are We

Thinks Rich Are Favored
BY New Tax Law.
To the Editor Of The Star:
think it is high time for the organi-
zation OF lobby OF the people In the
lobbies Of Congress and the various
administrative agencies.
Especially am concerned over the
new tax law. 1t is grossly unfair to the
poor man. We are called upon to make
all the sacrifices we can make, and we
are making them because we are anx-
iously praying that democracy will sur
vive. That is the only incentive we
have.
On the other hand, the rich man is
allowed to realize profit as an incentive
to produce. Why is he not as anxious
to produce all that he possibly can with
out any profit?

earnings, $72 year goes for retirement,
$180 for defense bonds and So for this
new Victory tax. Besides, there are in
come tax, luxury and other indirect
taxes, all coming out of $1,440.
II the poorer classes are making such
sacrifices, then big business ought to
make the same proportionately.
The Treasury general counsel has in
dicated that the administration has not
abandoned its fight for a decent and
adequate tax program despite congress

the people start to bring pressure to

sentimental value. They are engines of

expended In the common cause and for
the general policy of the state. ".. But
to an admiral of this standing and
upbr!nging, ships were sacred. The dis
credit and even disgrace Of casting
away ship was ingrained deeply by
years of mental training and outlook.
The spectacle of this noble structure on
which so many loyalties centered, which
was the floating foothold of daily life,
foundering miserably beneath the waves
appeared as an event shocking and un-
natural in its character. Admiral

mated to the foundations of his being"
am not trying to suggest that the
loss Of the three heavy cruisers in the
action of August 8, 1912, necessarily
had the same effect on Vice Admiral
Ghormley as the loss of three battle
ships Of scarcely larger size had on Vice
Admiral de Robeck twenty-seven years
before. It may have had no such effect,
or totally different effect. But it is
worthwhile considering how peacetime
training and peacetime viewpoints may
affect an officers conduct in war; and
We may well ask ourselves whether

has boosted that mark to a more re-
spectacle 280 and he's whacked
home 80 runs. Vernon has hit

George Case also delivered homer
for the Mats, but Frank Hayes, Chet

son to stake st. Louis to 10-1 lead.
Fritz Ostermueller remained the
route for the Browns, giving up
nine hits, while st. Louis clipped
Hudson and Rookie Lou Bevil for
IL hits. Bevil pitched the final
three innings, permitting only one
hit and no runs.

A capacity crowd of $4,000
