THE BATTLE OF PEACE

Postwar plans will be tested in
the new Congress. Beginning with
the Atlantic Charter. President
Roosevelt and Prime Minister
Churchill gave notice that they
would win the battle of peace, after
winning the world war. Wendell
Willkie and a number of Senators
and other leading Republicans are
supporting the same idea. Vice
President Wallace has added his
approval. The chorus seems to have
been heard around the world
These leaders are all talking very
much the same way-even though
they may appear to disagree on
methods and detail.
Evidently the same kind of a
fight that was waged against Presi-
dent Woodrow Wilson's aims for
peace is being hatched-up against
President Roosevelt. So far the
President does not appear to have
discovered the strength of this
opposition. Joseph Martin, Repub-
lican leader in the House and re-
cent chairman of the Republican
Committee has never been called
into conference by the President
regarding these important matters
of postwar planning.

4 STRONGER GOVERNMENT
FORMING

The Constitution provides that
the President shall from time to
time give to the Congress infOr-
nation of the state of the Union.
and recommend to their consider
alton such measures as he shall
judge necessary and eXpedient." ="
There is nothing in the situation
to Justify the belief. which has ap-
peared in so many newspapers and
been voiced over the radio. that
the 18th Congress is Openly hos
tile to the President" When you
come to analyze the situation you
will find that the Administration
and Congress are in unity concern
ing measures to win the war.
Then what is the trouble? The
answer is that the old Congress
lacked proper judgment when it
transferred so many of its powers
to the President. the result being
that he passed on these powers tC
Republicans and
Democrats have declared war on
these little dictatOrs-and no one

RAISE FOOD YOU NEED
ON YOUR OWN FARM
Continued from rirss Page,

"Year-round gardens, wherever
possible, should be planted so the
farm family will have adequate
amounts of health-giving vege-
tables so essential in the diet of
every one producing for Victory"
Transportation facilities will al
low only the hauling of necessary
food. Machinery, labor to process
and transport food, tin, and other
normal supplies are short. Every
bit of food produced at home frees
that much food for the armies, al
lies, and war-populated cities.
A goal for every Delaware farm
family in 1943 is to preserve and
store as much nutritious food as
possible for home use. Special en-
phasis should be put on raising at
home the family's poultry. eggs.
milk, butter, cheese, dry beans,
peas, fresh and stored vegetables
and fruits, and at least all the
meat allowed the family under ra-
tioning.
Town and city dwellers can help
to serve their country by planting
community plots or allotment gar
dens. However. the seed. fertiliz-
er, and insecticide supplies are
such that they must not be wasted
on infertile ground or by neglect
ing the garden.
All possible home food produc-
ton is not only a patriotic duty but
a necessary insurance that national
health will be kept up to par for
the arduous war tasks farm and
city people alike must perform.

RADIANT LIVING
SHADOWED BY OTHERS
By REV. c. NJ. GRIFFETH
Pastor Methodist Church, CeeiltOn, Md.

Have you been looking at the
back of somebody's head?
That is something which is not
permitted i'm Heaven. At least. that
is what Swedenborg taught. Wrote
he: 1T is never permitted to any
one in Heaven. to stand behind an
other and look at the back of his
head: for then the influx which is
from the Lord is disturbed"
| am glad that this prohibition
is in Heaven. What a fine thing it
would be if this restriction We're
also in force on the earth.
What Swedenborg is saying is
that we can never see the fullness
of the glory of God while we are
looking at the faults of man. In
other words. whenever we fasten
our attention upon the shOrtcOm-
ings of any person. we prevent the
fullness of Gods blessing from
falling upon us. thus permitting
the faults of others To shadow our
own hearts.
Perhaps you know somebody who
is constantly staying away from
Church just because of the mean
ness" of somebody in that Church.
By thus staying away that person
is preventing himself from receiv-
ing. as Swedenborg says, the in
flux which is from the Lord" At
every Church service God has
blessing for that person. But be-
cause he is always reminding him
self of the mistakes of others he is
preventing those blessings of God
from coming into his fe.
There would be a great deal more
radiant living in this world. if we
all stood forth ito the full rays of
the Divine radiance. unshadowed
by somebody's shortcomings.
1t is Gods will that you walk in
Joyous light. Step forth therefore
from behind anvone who may be
shad0wiug your heart.
Declares the Scripture: "They
looked unto Him and were ra-
diant."

MORE RED TAPE

OPA and other government aSen-
cies have requested the interstate
Commerce Commission to rescind
rate increases granted to the rail
roads less than year ago. The
railroads have asked the commits
sion to Geeny the request. Some
months will probably pass before
the question is finally settled. In
the meantime. railroad manage
ments who are already working
night and day to move astronomical
quantities of men and material
must crowd in the time to debate
rates with public authorities. The
whole affair has an unreal quality.
The country has its back to the
wall fighting for survival. Blood
and treasure is being given without
stint. No one knows how We will
meet the problems yet confronting
us. Our industry and our people
have performed miracles during
the past year. And not the least
of those miracles has been the job
done by the railroads. They have
thrown all reserve equipment into
the fight in an all-out effort to meet
the challenge of war. Their aim,
like that of the rest of us, is to win
the war as quickly as possible. This
year they must fight still harder
The present rate controversy in
wolves a sum that means nothing in
the battle against imitation. Ii
means nothing in the struggle to
hold down the cost of living. But
to the railroads it may mean the
difference between success and
failure in the days ahead.
If the rate increases in question
had been in effect during the whole /
of 1912, they would have produced .
increased revenues for class
roads of approximately 1857 ,000.
900. Wage increases alone during
the same period have added $397-
100000 to railroad operating costs.
Moreover, further cost increases
amounting to about $110,000,000
have accrued as result of higher
prices paid for fuel, materials and
This is not all. Special
rate reductions have
been made in scores of items in
cluding ammunition, sugar, rubber,
and petroleum. And it shouldn't
he forgotten that millions of troops
have been moved by rail at re-
luced fares. These reductions
more than offset the
amount now proposed to be Topped
)ff rail revenues by the OPA.
The transportation problem is
ar too critical to permit of "busi-
less as usual controversies over
minor rate changes. Hampering
he railroads might add months to
he war. u
