For Awareness of the War

That all the regulation Of our
daily lives is making us even more
conscious of this war and its sig
nificance, we thank an all.wise
Providence. We have been in
peril Of the spectator mood. We
have looked upon the supreme
struggle of the ages as something
detached from our normal routine.
Strike deep into out souls, o God,
the truth that this is struggle be-
tween evil purposes and man S
higher good. For we wrestle not
against flesh and blood, but against
principalities, against powers,
against the rulers of darkness OF
this world, against spiritual wick
edness in high places" Chasten
us into a clear consciousness that
the ends for which we all must
contend are the objectives laid
down in Thy word. May this be
unto us a holy war, sanctifying
our own hearts. Amen-W.T.E

magnificent tribute to the patriotism of
the American people was recently paid by
Eugene w. Sloan, executive director of the
War Savings staff.
AS everyone knows, there has been con.
siderable speculation and talk concerning the
effect that increased taxes will have on the
sale and redemption of War bonds. There
fore, all should be delighted to know, Mr.
Sloan says, that during March, when the
first tax installrnent fell due, bond sales were
Ga per cent higher in February and more
than IS per cent ahead of March, 1912.
The story on redemptions is equally encour-
aging
From May /, 1941, when U. S. Savings
Bonds were first offered for sale, through
March 81, l943, redemptions have been less
than 35 per cent of total sales. And redemp-
tions during March of this year were only
eight-seven one-hundredths of one per cent
of the total amount outstanding. That's a
record that all Americans can well be proud
of.
What it shows is that we as nation fully
realize the privilege that is ours to do our
part in helping to finance the great costs of
total war; 1t shows that as people we
understand the necessity not only for buying
War bonds but also of keeping them.

Frances Peace Offer

The call for world peace by Spanish Gen.
eralissirno Franco is so obvious in its origin
that the heads of Allied governments have
refrained from any comment on it.
Frances relations with the Axis are wei,
known. He has proved his sympathy to the
cause of Hitler and Mussolini.
Shortly after Francois declaration. a Berlin
spokesman said that peace at this time was
out of the question.
It is not hard to see that Berlin wants
the Allies to believe that the Axis Is still
prepared to Withstand any onslaught on the
continent of Europe and that it is confident
of final victory despite reverses of past
months.
If the Allies were to believe this, it may
be Berlin's hope that peace overtures viii
come from the Allied side first which woule
give Germany an opportunity to reach a ne
gotiated peace instead Of the unconditiona
surrender forecast for it by President Roose
welt and Prime Minister Churchill at Casa
blanca.
From the attitude of the Allied govern
ments, it is likely that they have alread.

The situation is simple. Malta

vital convoy for Malta is being
escorted through the Mediterran-

dozen destroyers. 1t is essential
that the convoy arrive, and this
circumstance changes all the usual
calculations of risk that would
have operated if the ship were
just another convoy destined for
just another Allied port. So the
"Artemis" behaves somewhat diff

Up out of the distance comes the
Italian Navy, or what is left of

two dreadnaughts, force of
