Daily Prayer
FOR THE RESTLESS MINDED

Thou hast told us, o Lord, that
in quietness and confidence will be
cur strength. Our restless spirits
cry out to Thee for the fulfillment
of this promise. We are troubled
by wars anxieties and discon-
tents. The whole social order is
overcome by new dissatisfactions,
endangering our solidarity and
our peace. Our wants are nursed
into exaggerated proportions. We
have lost the serenity of the
strong. We turn to Thee, o AL
mighty Father, with a prayer that
Thou wilt breathe tranquility into
our spirits. May we endure our
partings, our problems and our
pains with the heroism of Christ
Himself. May we appropriate His
Let not your heart be troubled. y
Whatever awaits us, whatever be-
falls, may we endure with the for
titude and calmless of those
whose springs of strength are fed
by Thee. Amen.-W.T E.

''HALF A WORLD AWAY" by
Frances Long (Farrar s. Rhine

hart; $2).
Frances Long was right to be-
gin her story of an American girl
and the Japanese with her own
background, for so doing gives
proper perspective to the book.
She begins, specifically, with her
school days in England.
Her parents were apparently
typical Representatives of the
Shanghai diplomatic set, and their
daughter would be likely to grow.
She even showed off for her moth
er's parties-once she was dressed
within an inch of her then very
snort life and was brought down

Tin Can Salvage

The New York City Salvage Committee re-
veals that in July more tin cans were wasted
in the metropolitan area than were salvaged.
New York had made an excellent record in
the previous months of its campaign, filling
its quota regularly until July came when
instead of collecting the 100000 cans ex-
pected of it, collections reached only 5000, ,0o0
Now the committee is up in arms to know
incinerators or garbage containers instead of
cleaning and pressing them flat formerly,
and perpetuatng the city's good name for
salvage.
1t may be- of course, that ration points have
something to do with it, but that is not our
present concern.
shall set record for itself this week when
the campaign is started in earnest. Army
trucks are to be stationed at convenient places
throughout the city on Wednesday, Let every
householder who has saved cans take them
to the nearest truck and, with that done, go
right ON salvaging more cans against the next
collection day. Any householder who cannot
take his cans to collection point should
await the house to house canvass to be made
little later by Girl and Boy Scouts. Be sure
to let no empty can escape.
Your part in the campaign is merely to save
cans. Camp Davis will do the rest.

Consider MussOlini

1t is becoming increasingly obvious that as
piring holders of public office are going to
seek renewed tenure on the strength of their
war records. No should object to that
But what everyone should object to is the ten
dency to glorify government by intimating
that it has fought the war almost singlehand-
ed-even to the extent of being primarily
responsible for the quantity and quality of
tanks. planes and ships with which our men
are fgnting That is the way of the dctators
to seize all the credit from private citizens for

One Road To Tokyo Open

The opinion is heard that the Japanese in
vaded the Aleutians, not with intention to pre-
pare way for attack on Alaska, Canada and
the United States, but to delay Allied attack on
Japan by a northern route. One commentator
has said that primarily the occupation of Attu
and Kiska was to give Japanese fishing fleets
off Siberia time to replenish the food supplies
of Tokyos armed forces and that the raids on
Paramushiro, and later on other islands in the
Kurile group, showed that japanese fishermen
could no longer cast their nets with even

By RAYMOND CLAPPER

WASHINGTON - These frequent
meetings between Roosevelt and
Churchill provide the headlines
and newspaper photographs to
drive home to the most reluctant
mind one of the chief realities
about our national security.
They provide the most personal
evidence of how completely Brit
ish and American affairs are mix
ed up together now in the war.
Will it be equally clear in our
country that this interdependence
needs to continue? Is not that a
question that Congress and public
discussion generally should al
swer? Why should not Congress ex-
press its judgment apout that?
1t will gain us nothing for Mr..
Roosevelt to go on blissfully plan
ming postwar cooperation with
Britain if our Congress is hostile.
as it was when Wilson proposed a
close three-way arrangement with
Britain and France a quarter of
century ago. 1t is time now to
face these questions. We ought to
know how America, how Congress,
as distinct from the White House,
feels. For we cannot go very far
on a foreign policy that does not
have the solid support of the
American people. We can argue
with people as to what the policy
ought to be but unless they are
convinced that it is wise and nec-
essary to American interests, not
much will come of it.
Circumstances that make us
joint operators now in war, will
give us joint interests in the flu
ture world. If we must combine
forces now to carry through for
our own best interests, would we
not be stronger if we kept that
community of interest in mind
from here on? If Britain and our
selves need each other to win
VIZ. "e will need each other to
keep it won. Break us apart and
each is left the weaker.
World order will, in the end,
have to rest on base much
broader than Anglo-American re-
lations. Among others, it must in
clude Russia to be fully success
full. But we don't know what Rus
sia will do. Any expectations
concerning relations with Rus
sia must be highly speculative.
But we know where the British
stand. Their self-iaterest needs
America. The U.S.-U.K. supply
line is the jugular vein of Britain.
We have traditional fear of
being outsmarted by the British,
and of thinking they will use us.
1t should be the other way around.
They need us, and they are al
ways fearful that we will run out
as we did after the last war. We
have most of the gold in the
world. We will finish the war with
the largest shipping fleet in the
world. Our air force will probably
outsize the rest of the world put
together.
We have the big stack of blue
chips. If our politicians who are
always afraid of the British put
ting something over would only
recognize that we have the chips,
then we could go ahead on a reg
ular horse trading basis with the
British to the advantage of both
of us. There need be no sentiment
in this. No Irishman need lay his
harp aside in shame. 1t is a bus
mess proposition for both sides, if
nothing more.
You have to admit that Church
i'll is a tough old rooster and he
can drive hard bargain. Even
Roosevelt may sometimes get
buck fever as he goes into a big
negotiation. But we have the chips
to impress even Churchill if we
play our hand well. Otherwise
am not at all concerned about

RAF Bomber Command
Chief Praised Highly
For Peenemuende Raid

LONDON, Aug. 22.-'R-Britlsh
Air Minister Sir Archibald SIN
clair congratulated Air Marshal
Sir Arthur T. Harris today on the
outstanding success" of the
RATS bombing of the hidden and
well-guarded research and devel-
opment plant at Peenemuende,
Germany, last Tuesday night.
The message to the commander
of the RAF Bomber Command
said in part:
'The accuracy of the bombing
in spite of a smoke-screen and
fierce fighting over the target
testifies to the skill and deter
mination of your crews and to
the effectiveness of your plan
ming and tactical methods.
The nights operations cost the
Raj 81 bombers. The Peene-
muende plant was the Nazls'
largest in developing aircraft ra-
dio-location devices and arma-
ment.

Raymond Capper Says:
Anglo American World
TIGHTLY Bound In War

Americans not being able to take
care of themselves in negotiations
with the British. After all, poker is
the American national game.
Anyway, with Congress and pub
lie strongly recognizing a funda-
mental community of interest be-
tween Bri t a N and ourselves,
many of the specific adjustments
between us in postwar matters
will become much simpler to han
die.
The most dangerous thing is to
have no policy, and thereby to
drive our best friends shopping
elsewhere, such as to Moscow.
