COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

class of the Princeton Theological
Seminary.
Dulles, New York lawyer and chair
man of the Commission on Just and
Durable Peace, said that only after 80
years of experience with futility in
international affairs had he come to
recognize the relevancy of the Christ
ian gospel to the practical solution of
world problems.
Analyzing the causes of the failure
of the Versailles peace conference and
other international diplomatic con-
claves in which he personally partici-
pated he enumerated them-idolatry
hypocrisy, blindness and evil emotion.
There was idolatry, he said, in the
practice of national representatives
personifying their state as quasi-god; !;
hypocrisy in considering their own ma
tional group to be endowed with virtue
and all others with vice; blindness in
their inability to see beyond what
served their own short-range material
interest and evil emotion in their read
mess to become suspicious, resentful
and angry.
''And there was little good emo
tion," Dulles added. "Few were in
spired by great vision or sense of
mission in the world. They saw their
tasks as isolated events in a material
istic world, rather than as elements
in some great progression towards
human betterment. They were ineffec-
tive because they lacked righteous
faith"
The lessons learned from past mis-
takes and the adoption of Christian
principles point the way, Dulles said,
'in which the churches and Christian
ministers like yourselves can decisive
ly aid the cause of world order. By and
large your greatest contribution will
be to implant the qualities of soul and
mind that Christ taught and then to
get these qualities into actual use."

tion to the growing need for child
care centers.
A statement issued by WPB Chair
man Donald NJ. Nelson, together with
Vice Chairman Joseph D. keenan, and
Clinton S. Golden, points out that one
out of three war jobs now held by
a woman, and that in the near future
even larger numbers of women must
be added to factory personnel.
Experience shows" the statement
goes on, "that large numbers of
women now working have children
needing care and that as we recruit
more women the problem of child care
will become more acute"
The statement cited recent survey
made by VINO in 116 cities which
showed that SO of them found it diff

no facilities for child care were avail
able.
1--WE cannot afford to lose this pro-
duction," it was pointed out. "Our
troops need it. Neither can we afford
to let children suffer from lack of care.
Our juvenile delinquency rates are
now too high. With the closing of
schools for the summer, millions of
children will be on the streets unless
we provide proper supervision"
The government has recognized the
problem, the statement added, and has
made funds for child-care centers
available under the Lanhan Act. Local
units of government or committees of
civic-minded citizens can apply for
funds through FWA.

WHY NOT RESTORE THE
HOLIDAY?

Some federal employees complain
they are having difficulty in arranging
for vacations, despite the vacation
policy announced by the Council of
Personnel Administration, with White
House approval, more than 2 months
ago. The council recommended mini
mum of II days plus travel time at
any one time.
The Civil Service Commission took
its time in directing attention to the
councils vacation recommendation but
finally came through with the state
ment that ''the government is urging
war workers IN private industry to
take reasonable periods of vacation for
recreation, recuperation and rest. The
commission believes that this is a wise
action" 1t added that it was urging
employees to take couple of weeks off
and said that "a vacation in wartime
isn't unpatriotic"
In addition to announcing the vaca-
tion policy, the Council of Personnel
Administration suggested short peri
DDS throughout the year to be allowed
employees to take care of personal mat
ters. In this connection, why shouldn't
the government employees have the
recognized holidays, including Memoir
ial Day, July 4 and Labor Day, re-
stored? Restoration of these HOLIDAYS
in government agencies would pro-
mote morale and increase efficiency in
the long run.
AS matter of fact, there was no
sound reason why they should have
been taken away in the first place,
after Pearl Harbor. Depriving the
workers of the holidays was more
product of war hysteria and unreason
than it was of anything else. 1t was
one of those foolish things that the
American people will laugh at after
the war--if they still retain the abil-
ity to laugh at anything then.

DACK of the unrelenting German
- efforts to round up and intern
former members of the Netherlands
armed forces, is the Nazi fear of the
Dutch underground hand which will
strike behind the enemy lines on
D-Day. According to a Hollanders who
recently escaped to England, "the Ger
mans are using all kinds of subter-
fuges to lure this underground army
from its hiding place. But the hidden
patriots have their orders-they do
not take them from the Gestapo. The
allied invasion troops will be welcomed
with the greatest of help from this
army and from every loyal Hol-
lander"
The size and disposition of the
Netherlands guerrilla force is care
fully guarded secret. But it has res
ervoir of thousands of former Dutch
soldiers, thousands of non-military
Hollanders who have become proficient
in the art of sabotage; and additional
thousands of students, both boys and
girls, who gave up scholastic careers
rather than sign declaration of obe-
dience to the occupation authorities.
The enemy received foretaste of
the guerrilla's striking power last
winter, when large band of patriots
attacked war prisoners camp m
Flushing. They freed number of
British flyers who were about to be
transferred to Germany, and left SO
German soldiers lying dead in the
main streets of the town following a
bitter running gun fight.
The churches can exercise a decisive
role in creating a pattern of world or
der that will assure peaceful solutions
of differences between nations which
inevitably will arise when the task of
preserving civilization once again
passes from the military to the civil
ian, said John Foster Dulles in the
commencement address to the 1914

|McCrearY's Eagerness
Blamed for Pensive's
Defeat in Belmont
BY the Assoeiated Press.


NEW YORK, June 5.-Pensive.
Warren Wright's Kentucky Derby
and Preakness winner, was beaten
by Bounding Home, $34.70 outsider,
in the $50, ,000-added Belmont Stakes
on Saturday, and today Jockey
Conn McCreary was on the pan for
falling to win racing's triple crown.
Many of the crowd of 34,233, in
cluding Trainer Ben Jones, ex-
pressed belief McCreary made his
move too soon and hence had MOTH
ing left when William Ziegler's
Bounding Home caught and passed
Pensive, the 1-2 favorite, to win
the 11A mile test by half length.
Il guess he was too anxious to
please the public" declared plain
Ben. He referred to two other races
last week in which Pensive's stable
mates, Sun Again and Markell.
finished second. McCreary, who
rode both, was criticized at the time
for holding them too far off the
early pace.
In contrast to his performance in
the Derby and Preakness, when he
waited until the last quarter-m
before letting Pensive out, McCreary
shot the Wright colt to the front
at the mile marker in the Belmont.

DelPOrto has an unusual record
and is considered hard luck kid
because overweight matches have
kept him from the title. His victims
include Sol Bartolo, present MIA
titleholder; Jackie Callura and
Richie Lemos.
DelIOrto'S managers, Jimmy and
Charley Johnston, believe they have
Wright in bad spot tonight, as they
are confident the fast-stepping Ital-
ian can beat Chalky. Last fighter
to beat Wright was Lulu Costantino,
a stablemate of DELI 'Orto, and the
Johnston brothers think Vince will
display carbon copy of Lulu's
style.
Bettors here today, however, were
marking up the odds at 2 to /, with
Chalky favored to win. The vet
eran has fattened three of his last
four opponents.

the winner into the forefront as a

EN- ROUTE TO WASHINGTON
June 5.-Riding home from an in
hospitable West, the badly battered
Mats look to the East for a revival
of their winning ways.
They made fair progress before in
the seaboard sector of the Ameri-
can League and with the brief rest
coming to them before they resume
play in flve-game series with the
Athletics at Philadelphia Thursday
are hopeful of staging a comeback
following an unsuccessful invasion
of the circuits inland cities. 7
Could be the next three weeks will
tell whether the Mats will continue
to be of any Importance in the
chase for the flag. They are sched-
uled for % games with Eastern
rivals-eight tussles due on their
own lot-and a pace of 500 or better
ought to keep them in the fight.
Still Not so Far off Top.
AS it is, although in last place,
they are only 51a games from the
leading Browns, following their rec
ord of 5 won and 10 lost during the
trip.
That they did as we'll as this con-
sidering their many handicaps was
somewhat surprising. Beset by in.
juries throughout the tour the Mats
had to shuttle their line-ups con-
stantly. The infield particularly was
hard hit, what with Joe Kuhel,
George Myatt and Gil Torres sus-
tanning hurts that benched them at
times. George Case and Jake Powell
in the outfield were generally below
par physically.
That these men, especially the in
fielders, returned to the game be-
fore their wounds were healed COM
pletely is credit to their gameness,
but handicapped as they were there
is doubt that they helped the club.
In general the Mats pitching was
good Any of several games lost
could have been turned their way
by a well-placed hit. Yet while
the Mats continued to lead the
league at bat, paradoxically their
attack during the trip was about
the most unproductive in the circuit
The number of runners they left
stranded on second and third bases
was appalling.
Trip Ends in Sour Note.
The trip ended on sour note
with the Mats dropping a four
game series to the White Sox by
taking double licking, 6-5 in 10
innings and 9-1.
The Sox bagged the first fray
