Hull Endorses International
Peace Maintained By Force

Washington - A postwar
world in which nations will get
along like good and self-respect-
ing friends, ready to crack down
with joint force any attempt of
the criminal element to start up
"the monstrous specter" of war,
was set forth Sunday night by
Secretary of State Hull as the
No. l aim of American foreign
policy.
Readiness to use force, if
necessary, for the maintenance
of peace is Indispensable" the
secretary emphasized in calling
also for IAN international court
of justice" to handle interna-
tional disputes of a legal sort.
In a broad outline of foreign
policy, his first major speech in
more than year, Hull said over
and over again that the nations
which now stand together for
peace and security must stay
together.
And, possibly in reply to charg-
es he has previously denied-that
he has looked with a cold eye on
Russia-he declared:
ITO the Soviet Union, whose
heroic armies and civilian popu-
lation have earned everlasting
renown through their magnifi-
cent feats of courage and sacri-
flee, we have been glad to rem
der all possible aid.
ut is our desire and our set
tied policy that collaboration
and cooperation between our
two countries shall steadily in
crease during and following the
war"
His outline amounted in many
ways to an extension of the
Western Hemisphere good neigh
Dor policy to a cooperative world
association of independent ma
tons, and Hull found time in a
Commute address to outline only
the bare framework and princi-
pies of organization.
The flesh and blood of detail
he left to the future.
The Secretary of State spoke on
the topic Our Foreign Policy in
the Framework of Our National
Interests" over a nationwide ra-
dio hook-up.
The speech came on the eve
of the recommending of Congress
which expects to give immediate
consideration to the problem OF
determining Americas role in
obtaining a lasting peace.

EMPLOYMENT HAS NOW
, REACHED WARTIME PEAK

Washington - Employment
has just about reached wartime
peak, Secretary of Labor Perkins
said this week in reporting that
the total of nonfarm workers in
August was 1925, 900 a drop of
$4,000 from July.
The labor force may increase
another million or two, she said,
but expressed the opinion that
during the next few months new
workers will no more than re-
place the number of men and wo-
men going into the armed services
and their auxiliaries.
This does not mean, she ex-
planned, that employment on war
production cannot be increased
since many workers can yet be
shifted from nonessential civilian
services.

81 OF ITALY'S SHIPS
NOW HELD BY ALLIES

At least 80 Italian warcraft, the
bulk of the battle fleet, were an
chored at the British naval base
of Malta and an Allied spokesman
said Italy's merchant fleet was
being rapidly shepherded in
small groups into Allied-held
ports.
All eight of Italy's battleships
had been accounted for, although
dispatches from Valletta, the port
of Malta, conflicted as to the
makeup of the Italian fleet there,
best information was that it in
cluded four battleships, six cruis-
ers, eight destroyers and IA SUBJ
marines.
The spokesman added that adj
ditional Italian naval units, no
tably submarines, were expected
to surrender to the Allies momen-
tarily.

PERSHING ADVOCATES
PEACE BY AGGRESSION

Washington - General of the
Armies John J. Pershing who a
quarter of a century ago pleaded
in vain for an Allied-dictated
peace in Berlin, said Sunday
night on the eve of his 83rd birth
day anniversary that this war
must end with unconditional sur
render of the Axis powers and on
terms precluding future aggres-
sion.
His views were detailed in an
editorial in The Army and Navy
Journal which felicitated him on
the occasion.
The general feels special bit
terness" toward Japan, the edi-
torial said, and demands uncon-
dltlonal surrender of that nation
followed by enforcement of
terms which will put an end to

PHILADELPHIA, Oct 20 49,
American pacifists were given the
suggestion by one of their leaders
today that they produce no food
for the armed forces, but only for
conscientious DIRECTORS.
The thought was advanced by
Mrs. Mildred Scott OlmSted 10 a
formidable meeting Of leaders who
are planning 10 stir the country
with pacifist activity and soak the
country in pacifist propaganda.

She supplemented her idea a
little later with the opinion that
If enough pacifists refuse TO per-
form war work, military induc-
tions may be deferred and men
might even be withdrawn from
the army for industrial service-a
distinct gain. she said, Tor the
pacifist cause.
Mrs. Olmsted is a director Of
the Women's International League
for Peace and Freedom, and is a
member OF a national pacihst
strategy board named today. Her
home is in Philadelphia.
Only 40 delegates are present
at the session, but the importance
Of what is being said lies IN the
fact that an editing committee
has been appointed to publish all
the ideas expressed at the eight
day session, and turn the reports

FOOD DISCUSSION
Mrs. Olmsted's remarks, re-
ceived without dispute, opened

meeting place in the isolated
Quaker retreat of Pendle Hill, 10
miles from the city.
There was general agreement
among the delegates, who claim
leadership of at least 600 900 or

Church and Home
BY REV. M. MIKKELSEN

like the quotation: Though dark
thy way, still sing and praise, some
time We'll understand" Sometime
we'll know why clouds instead OF
plan"
Gods way may disappear in all
the darkness and despair of the
present conflict, it may be we'll
nigh impossible to hold on to the
belief that "of His kingdom there
dark the darkness, and how cruel
foreign tyranny and terrorism may
be, the way is still there and the
kingdom is still reality. I believe
in it in spite of all cruelty. Yet
mere belief does not help to give
more actuality to it unless we are
agreed that we must also grid for
action and be prepared to sacrifice
our lives in such action.
When Bernard Shaw was asked
about Jesus Christ he replied: "The
recent revolt against Jesus Christ
in the last war has turned out so
badly that probably more people
are thinking about Him than ever
before"
I believe there are more people
today who think seriously about re-
ligion than ever before; there are
more who await the new world order
proclaimed in the gospels, who would
be happy to work for it and sacri-
fee all the good things they cherish
in life in order to pave the way
for this new order.
In his recent book, 1.-THE Robe, ~
Lloyd c. Douglas offers the follow
ing consideration in reference to one
of the characters in the book applied
to life in general under similar cir
cumstances: HE was lonely man.
The eyes hungered for an under
standing friend. It was loneliness
that plainly said, You could all do
something about this unhappy world,
if you would; but you won't"
realize that there is more lone
illness in the world today than a,
any other time previous to this fol-
the simple reason that there is less
understanding between men. They
want you to do the wrong thing
they urge you to lead a cause in
which you are definitely not inter-
ested, because you see it is the wrong
thing and they don't You may
want them to do the right thing, bu,
you cannot possibly make them see
it your way. This lack of under
standing and congeniality is the
cause of most of the loneliness suf-
fered by men in this unhappy world
1t is very true that we could all
do something about it, if we would
1t is such relief to talk matters
over with friends that understand
you when you are grieved. There
are so many problems confronting
all of us right now that apparently
our greatest need is to find friends
with whom we can talk these prob
lens over and know that they will
understand us.
The cross in life is loneliness
Having seen the way, you travel
on it, and discover that you are
going alone. There may be some
for whom you are responsible in q
spiritual way, someone who should
be walking with you on the way
and receive nourishment out of youl
hand. To discover that they will
not walk with you, and refuse to
accept the bread you offer, that is
the sum of loneliness and of human
despair.
It is reflected in "eyes that hunger
for an understanding friend"
