WASHINGTON, July 13-The
w reader-correspondent who
drew from me a suggestion OF
basic principles for postwar
peace published June 30) has
come back at me with this:
II am unable to follow you
when you say the solution must
be democratic and Christian.
am for both, but cannot see
that they have given us much
In the past.
~ have been reading reams
Of statements of church leaders
who keep saying that Christi
anity Is the only solution.
have wondered IL their faces
weren't red when they said II
or wrote Il.
IF my political party had
such n record on the economic
side as the churches have on
the religious side, 1 would hesi-
tate TO ask for another trial.
Some of them glibly say that
Christianity has not been tried.
hut what reason IL there to be-
iieve that II will ever he tried
In the sense they mean IL:
You are a realist and be-
cause Of this l like your stuff
better than that OF any of tho
others who have their watch
towers in Washington. But I
think YOU get just bit soft on
the point OF democracy and
Christianity being the solvents"

THIS viewpoint Of Mr..
Il is familiar these days. II
has some clements of truth
lodged in historical fact. A
great number of people have
lost their faith in Christianity,
as we'll as democracy. during
the haraSsing, unsatisfac tory
decade through which we have
just come.
But Christianity is an IDEAL.
No one ever lived il since Christ,
al least no one / ever knew.
lis well-known principles Of
personal justice, honesty, kindli-
ness. etc. have. however. been
our commonly accepted ideal for
nearly 1000 years,
All Of us individually mon
Christian as well as Christian)
achieve some degree Of success
toward this ideal but none Of
us reaches perfection This is
true of humans in tho churches
as well as IN the street.

~ ideal before us. we have a
chance 'o make progress toward
A. We can keep an emphasis
on that side in favor Of good
ness, kindness. Self-Sacrifice.
Justice. etc No matter how
many Christians fail. discourag-
ING and miScrably. 10 live up 10
this hope of making themselves
better. the hope can prevail as
a world goal
Some day a fully enlightened
and educated people may then
fully adopt and practice n. and
II then may achieve the incon-
tFepeFtiblle success which We All
hope for u. because we all know
that no Christian church ever
taught a man 10 be worse than
he was. but all Christian theory
expects 10 lift him above HIM
self You viii agree great
progress has been made in 1000
years.
II we abandon the ideal. all
Is lost Indeed j., would he
foolish 10 abandon il merely be-
cause some people have found II
To be an insufficient spiritual
stimulus for themselves.

but lis laws and customs. II
YOU washed all that out today,
where would you be? Well, in
Russia, for one place.
No, sir, ! do not agree with
you when you say Christianity
has never been tried or that IL
has failed. The truth is II has
never been tried to the extent
Of divine, unfailing perfection
represented in Christ's life.
The fact is il has failed only
10 the degree that II has not
made every human divine.

DR. CARL BUCK HERE 10 STUDY
 HEALTH NEEDS

Through agreement between the U. s. Public Health Service. the U. s. Children's Bureau and the Territorial Department of Health, pr Carl E. Buck has arrived in Juneau for the purpose of making an evaluation of health needs and facilities in Alaska and to make recommendations in connection with postwar planning.
 pr. Buck made a similar study in 1889 and the agencies that con- tributed to the support of Public Health work in Alaska are concerned with an evaluation of the present Public Health program in the light of conditions found in the previous study.
 Much more concern has been manifested by federal authorities in connection with the problems of tuberculosis and sanitation in AL aska within recent months, because of the apparent interest on the part of thousands of people who plan to come to the Territory after the war The federal authorities are also aware of some conditions effecting the health of Alaskans that have come out of the war effort, there fore ' is stated that there is great need for postwar planning of hospitals and public service utilities
 Dr. Buck expects to spend about a month conducting the study and will confer with various officials in Juneau and elsewhere in the Terri tory during this time. He is known as an outstanding authority on pub lie health and public health admin istration and has just recently com pleted a study of the State of California
