ship as We please. Religion in
some form or other is practiced by
practically all the peoples of the
world; these various groups having
different ideas as to how it should
be taught and obeyed. The major
ity of the people believe in las Edi-
son said, think "A supreme in
tellect" above us all. We worship
that because we can see it is true.
We are taught right from wrong.
This is where those Hogs" come
in. Even though they worship an
earthly being, which isn't our way
at all, they know that to kill, loot
and take things from Others with
out discrimination, is wrong. But,
they are the ones who are doing
this, in spite of the fact that they
know differently. The masses of
the people in some of the Countries
do not know very much of what IS
going on; they can be easily led.
From what I understand, little as
it is, the leaders of such people are
looked upon as being the most
high, consequently their will is
done. We, who believe that no lit
tie yellow pipsqqueak is the most
high, are not going to stand by and
allow these kinds of persons to de-
stroy, ravage or dispoil our land.
That is precisely why we are fight
ling; to protect ourselves and our
posterity, from such people.
AS aforementioned, one of the
staunchest things to stand on is our
religion. I make no attempt to de-
fine the word-after all I'm not the
one who can. Another of our
strong points is education. If all
of us would but learn more about
our Country, how it is run, and
what it stands for, we would all be
a lot better off in the future. l
don't honestly know how our Gov
eminent is run. I hate to admit
this, but there is just plenty that
/ do not understand. Oh, we know
the basic factors but there are
other things. All of us are agreed
that we must win this war. And
win we will if everyone pulls to-
gether. 1t looks like this is hap
pening now. Following the war the
Reconstruction period will begin.
The Boys who are now defending
their Country will no doubt play
their part in shaping the different
Government administrations which
are to come, and think rightfully
$50. Naturally, this younger ele-
ment must be willing to listen and
take advice from the older ones
who have had greater experience,
1t is up to this older group, whom
we love and are willing to fight for,
to guide us in finding the proper
solution of the peace problems
However, the burden of carrying
out this program no doubt will fall
largely on the more youthful
shoulders.
Unfortunately, there will still be
the Hogs, however crushed. They
will want to rise again and try it
all over. There have been in the
past some attempts to establish a
world court. The purpose of this
if I understand it, would be that if
Country had a beef, it would be
UP to the world court to decide
what should be done. I'm not the
bird to try and talk about such a
far reaching plan as that, since it
) takes more gray-matter than now
possess. The main thing, as I see
lit now, is never to allow our Coun-
try to fall into the unprepared con-
dition as it was at the outbreak of
this war. This is truely a matter
of Government. And, since we the
lDtOplt Ole lllC SONCl VIC
should know what's going on in it
It's of, by, and for-if you remem-
Der. 1t will be up to the people of
our Country to know what they
want, and to put the type of men
in office who can get it through for
them. l made the statement
awhile back that the majority was
usually right, and that they natur-
ally wanted peace, but personally
. very much doubt if there will ever
be a lasting one-just an opinion
Should this prove true, the better
thing to do would be to prepare
ourselves to live at peace until such
a time as the Hogs" attempt tc
rise again. From the way things
J are going in this sector, that won't
! be too soon. l trust that the pacff
lists will not have many listeners
