Power for Peace

1t Is true, as Secretary Knox de-
clared the other day, that the United
States will probably emerge from the
war more powerful than any other
nation. Our Army will be one Of the
largest and best equipped. Our Air
Force will know no superior. Our
Navy will be by far the mightiest in
the history of the world.
But this tremendous strength-in-
being will not be the sole measure
of our power. There will be, in addi-
tion, the record of our fabulous mill
tary production, the prodigious and
almost unbelievable story of how we
not only armed ourselves but armed
our Allies in large measure as we'll.
Despite all the preliminary bungling,
we have turned out the ships, the
planes, the tanks, the guns and every
other grim and essential accouter-
ment Of war with such speed and in
such numbers that neither our
friends nor our enemies are ever
likely to forget it in the peace to
come.
1t is doubtful that the Nazis and
the japanese realized on December
7, 1941. how really strong we were.
They counted the ships and planes
we had in service and noted the size
Of our Army and studied our pro-
duction accomplishments in the First
World War, and they probably cal
culated their chances on that basis

ployment problem II we were to lop
of our merchant ships at the
armistice."
Senator Radcliffe does not mem
ton the circumstance, but 1t hap
pens that similar problem engaged
the attention Of at least few
citizens of the United States at the
close of the First World War. It was
urged at that time that a strong
merchant marine was an imperative
adjunct Of first-class power. The
idea traces back to Sir William Petty,
the British economist, who about
1877 told King Charles II: "In all
the ancient states and empires those
who had the shipping had the
wealth."

Wherefore take up the whole
armor Of God, that ye may be able to
Withstand in the evil day, and, hav-
ing done all, to stand. ."-Ephesians,
W.13. ...
Christians throughout the world
have been strengthened greatly in
their faith by the courageous stand
taken by Pastor Martin Niemoeller
and Bishop Berggrav in maintaining
their Christian convictions. Such
examples of steadfastness in stand
ing firm for ones Christian princi-
Piles are much needed in our day.
This is true not only of the peoples
that are subjected to the IRON
handed oppression of Naziism and
other forms of dictatorship but also
Of our own people.
Now, it is true that none Of us, no
matter what our religious professions
may be, Is in danger of losing his
faith by reason of any oppressive
measures directed against religion.
We still enjoy the constitutional
guarantees of religious liberty. The
recent decision of the Supreme Court
confirming the right of religious
group to refuse to salute the national
flag on religious grounds shows that
in our country religious liberty is in
no danger whatever from any CO.
elcive measures, political or other
wise. The threat to religion is far
more subtle. Religious faith is en-
dangered by the uprooting process
that is going on among our people.
During the past three years
great migration has been taking
place in our country that has in
volved approximately 100000 of
people. The population Of certain
areas has been removed to make way
for camps and training grounds for
the armed forces and to provide sites
for manufacturing plants furnishing
all kinds of war materials. People
thus evacuated have had to find new
dwelling places. Then, too, millions
of other people have been trans
planted In order to supply workers
for the plants manufacturing war
materials. While some areas have
been depopulated many others have
had their population doubled and
trebled Furthermore, the Govern
ment has called several hundred
thousand new employees into its serv-
ice, largely to Washington, but also
to serve in many field Offices. Finally
there are about 100000 men and
women who have been called for
service in the armed forces of the
country.
This great migration not only has
brought about tremendous changes
in the economic and social life of the
Nation, but also to a great extent has
disturbed and upset the spiritual and
religious life of the people. Many of
them for the first time have moved

only, concluding that we could not
do enough fast enough to keep them
from winning. In other words, al
though they had healthy respect
for our industrial might, they ap-
parently did not know our true
potential, did not see that it had
grown enormously since 1918, did not
appreciate how swiftly we could
harness 1t for battle, and therefore
did not reckon with it at all. And
so month after Pearl Harbor, when
President Roosevelt told Congress
that We would produce planes at the
rate of 10000 year and merchant
ships at the rate of 10000, 900 dead
weight tons year, the Nazis and
the Japanese just laughed out loud,
calling the whole thing a fantastic
boast.
But they do not laugh today. They
have since learned that the figures
were not bluff and that our output
in some categories now actually ex-
ceeds the goals originally set. And
Japan and Germany and other pos
sible aggressors, long after the
United Nations have won this war,
will remember what we have
done. They will remember that the
strength of America cannot be meas
ured merely by taking count Of
ships and guns and other things al
ready in existence. They will re-
member our potentialities-what is
in the American spirit, and what we
can do with our machines when we
have to turn from peaceful ways to
strike back at an enemy.
In this sense, because all mankind
has seen a spectacular demonstra-
ton Of its meaning in the past two
years, our capacity to produce for
war ought to be one Of the key fac
tors in maintaining the next peace.
Together with whatever armed
strength we keep In being, and to-
gether with our active participation
in some system OF collective security,
this unique potential power of ours
should surely do much to discourage
any new adventures by any new or
old aggressors In tomorrow's world.

Stand Fast in Faith
! A Message for a Time of Migration
By the Rep. Charles Enders,
Pastor of the Concordia Lutheran Evangelical Church

out from the community in which
they were born and reared. For the
first time they have been required to
work and live among strangers.
They must make new adjustments,
form new associations and habits,
find new methods of recreation and
deal with new temptations, or rather
with old temptations in new forms
and guises. All this subjects religi-
Gus habits, formed amidst familiar
surroundings and among relatives
and friends, to severe strains and
tests
If ones religion is merely habit
that one followed because of ones
associations, then 1t may happen
that in adjusting oneself to new
situations one forms new habits that
makes it easy to drop the practice Of
religion. Unfortunately, this is hap
pening In many instances. At time
when the Nation needs the stabiliz-
ing influence of christianity more
then ever, many are becoming indif-
ferent to the call to devote oneself
to the highest values of life that are
found only in the renewing and
strengthening of life through faith
in Jesus Christ.
What is needed is a deepening and
strengthening of religious founda-
tions that win enable one to stand
fast in faith despite all changes of
surroundings and associations. This
then is time in which to examine
anew ones religion. What are the
values of the Christian religion?
What are its claims upon the life Of
man? If 1t can move men like Pastor
Niemoeller and Bishop Berggrav to
risk their all In its defense, surely
there must be something in christi
anity even for our time that makes it
worth while. II Christians of the
city of Riga could sing hymns of
praise when they were marched to
their execution, there must be some
thing in christianity that can enable

tions of life
When Christian faith is deep
rooted, when 1t is born Of the expert
ence Of salvation from sin through
Jesus Christ as savior and re-
deemer, when 1t is nurtured by daily
fellowship with the living Christ,
then the Christian will stand fast in
the faith. Such faith will enable
him to make all the adjustments of
life the more easily because Of his
fellowship with God through Jesus
Christ. Standing fast with Christ
will make Of the believer a power to
aid in bringing order out of the
chaotic conditions of this time. In
5 stead of being easily swayed by all
new conditions that confront him,
the man that stands fast with Christ
will be a factor helping to mold So
ciety to conform more nearly with
the pattern of the Kingdom OF God.

Shipping After the War

Senator George L. Radcliffe Of
Maryland, as chairman of special
committee to investigate conditions
In the merchant marine, has written
for the American Magazine an
article in which he argues for the
retention of all existing cargo car
riers under the American flag after
the end of the war.
Building two thousand merchant
vessels this year alone, the United
States, according to Senator Rad
cliffe,s reasoning, is duty bound to
subsidize this tremendous new fleet
in the postwar world"
Principal benefits, Senator Rad
cliffe suggests, would be three in
number, namely: "The assurance
of ample facilities to transport in
terocean shipments of fighting men
and materiel in time of national
emergencies, quickly and safely; a
progressively increasing pool Of
trained mariners for combat vessels
If and when they are needed; bull
wark of defense upon the sea, a
floating parapet against aggressors,
determent to war" So much for
the military significance of great
merchant fleet. Concerning it's in
dustrial aspect, Senator Radcliffe
says that "the tremendous wartime
increase in our productive capacity"
indicates that America for decades
to follow the prevailing war will
have surplus goods to sell overseas.
1--WE must have international mar
kets," he insists. "We must ship our
products to every port on earth"
Specifically, 1--WE will have 175000
trained officers and men In mer-
chant service by the middle Of 1914,

1t has been clear for long time that
the Democrat party hopes and expects

AS the titanic struggle in Europe
moves slowly but surely toward a
flaming climax, the problem of
partial industrial rehabilitation In
America becomes less and less
academic. Indeed, though still on
a small scale, the demobilization is
even now under way, with some
10000 war contracts already can
celed and a number Of plants re-
converting from military production.
To meet this problem-a problem
which in the not distant future will
be the biggest and most complicated
facing the Nation-plans and policies
must be laid down now. Literally
hundreds of thousands of contracts
and subcontracts will have to be
terminated in due time; Govern
ment-owned plants worth billions of
dollars will have to be disposed of
In one way or another, and indus
tries employing millions of workers
IN the manufacture of war equip
ment will have to switch back to
production for a peace economy.
To effect this vast change with
the least possible delay, and with the
least possible injury to industry and
employment levels, the special Senate
Postwar Committee, under the chair
manship of Senator George, recon-
mends in a preliminary report that
an overall administrative body be
Immediately established to unity the
procedure for contract cancellations
and related matters and that Con-
gress articulate the basic controlling
standards. Within this framework,
the cancellations would be worked
out directly between the contractors
and the different agencies with which
the contracts were originally made,
so that the proposed supervisory
unit would be just that and nothing
more, its prime purpose being to
keep confusion to a minimum and
uphold the policies set by Congress.
These policies, according to the
George committees recommended
tlons, should be based on the funda-
mental idea that the main objective
OF reconversion and contract can
cellations should be to restore our
competitive free enterprise system as
rapidly as possible and under terms
and conditions calculated to offset
the danger of serious interruption
IN production and consequent large
scale unemployment. The wisdom
OF this cannot be questioned; any
other approach to the problem would
be full of pitfalls menacing to the
whole Nation.
The proposal for separate super
visory agency is not at variance with
steps recently taken by the admins
tration in setting up a special post
war adjustment unit within the
Office of War Mobilization. This
unit, now headed by Bernard M
Baruch, has been proceeding along
the lines favored by Senator George
and his committee colleagues. Fa-
vorable congressional action on their
recommendations, therefore, might
give it not only legislative sanction,
but clear-cut policy directive as
well, and to that extent there would
be better understanding all around
on the methods and principles to be
followed as the task of industrial
rehabilitation becomes more and
more pressing in the months ahead.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. l3.-Shoe ra-

and merchants the problem of what
to do with millions of pairs of white
shoes ready for sale in the spring
and early summer season starting
at Easter.

Everybody has been buying shoes
since rationing started, whether
they need them or not. They're not
going to be able to buy another pair
until the next coupon becomes valid
June Is. and by then our white shoe
season is almost over.
After the Fourth OF July, we cut
the price of white shoes because the
stores are trying to get rid of them.
Who's going to buy white shoes
June Is when he knows that If he
waits couple of weeks he can buy
them for song?'
National trade organizations are
expected to take the matter up with
