The Tragic Necessity
(NeW York Timesl


 Every humane person must deplore bombing from the air just every humane person depores war itself To that extent must all sympathze with the appeal of four eminent members of the French clergy that the civilian populations of France and Europe be spared much possible, and that care also be taken to avoid hitting churches schools hos pitals and humble dwellings in neghborhoods shelt- ering and children" No Allied flier wants to hit such marks The terrorizng of civilian popua- tions has been Allied aim. The Axis Powers alone have followed such policy: the Japanese in China; the Italians in Ethiopia and Spain; the Ger mans in Spain Poland, Norway, Belgium the Meth erlands, France and Britain
 The French appeal asks for more care" This request is legitimate Our fers made some tragic mistakes in Italy and others elsewhere, apparently because of inadequate advance information This situation is being remedied But the danger to civil the kind of fighting that has been forced upon us is unacceptable Our enemies chose total war, and total it s If the United Nations not strong enough to destroy key German cities the Germans would be destroying British cities and probably trying to destroy American cities. The air war is intended to the lives of soldiers by making their task easier. The way to end it is to end the war, as is well known in Germany and in the satellite nations. And the way to end it forever after the armstice, is to keep down the aggressor and the apgreSSiye Spirit-fOreyer.

 and the other down through Bering Straits to the Orient
 The link to Great Slave Lake would be open all year The Mackenzie River route would be navigable from May to October The steamer route would be open June to September. lt
 Russia has made use of the steamer route total of IA boats made the trip along the Siberian Coast in 1943 Of this number 14 went through the Bering Straits from Archangel to Vladivostok Ice breakers and air reconnaissance enabled the steamers to get through. The trips made for war, however, and whether the average freghter hauling for profit in peacetme could afford these luxuries is doubtful.
 It is understood that the Alberta government has agreed to do it's part furnishing road communication with Great Slave Lake, and the Dominion Government also is ready to assist
 The pamphlet insists that Edmonton is the natural industrial gateway by air, by rail- by water, to the Arctic trade route to Asia and Europe" We suggest this very bold statement.

FROM RUBBER TO WHISKY

Inside reason for the whisky holiday" is that there is too much raw synthetic rubber on hand wait ing to be processed. Due to the shortage of manpower in the rub Der industry, manufacturers are un- able to use all the synthetic avail able to them; haven't the labor force to fabricate tires and other rubber goods-especially for civilian use.
 Synthetic deteriorates in quality If not processed within a few months, and if larger and larger quantities continue to pile up, d good deal of the synthetic rubber will be useless. Most of the pe- troleum process plants for synthetic are still not in full production, de- spite the fact that it is now two and half years since Pearl Har- Dor. So the surplus is accounted for mainly by alcohol processes.
 That's why WIPE decided to per- nit the use of alcohol for whisky for the month of August.
 NOTE = For months far-sighted Senator Gillette plead and stormed lat Jesse Jones to use alcohol for synthetic rubber, thus aiding the fo r,oarc of the f,Jtilro Rllt Jones stuck to the slower method of rub Der from petroleum manufactured by his friends, the big old com- panies. Bernie Baruch's report ad- mitted the feasibility of quicker rubber from alcohol, but little was done about it.

GOVT. E OPENING INVESTIGATION OF
 HIGHWAY WASTE

OTTAWA, Aug. 3.-The Canadian and U. s. Governments are at tempting to work out arrangements to salvage equipment used by Am erican engineers in construction of the Alaska Highway. Reports of valuable equipment used for the highway being destroyed prompted the demand by the Canadian House of Commons for a Government in- vestigation.
 It was disclosed that U. s. Army engineers are closing about 150 construction camps along the high way, and have been instructed by the U. S. Government to salvage any usable material Prime Min ister Mackenzie King, however, told the Commons that such things as blankets, and perishable foodstuffs were being destroyed.
 King said it might be possible to reach an agreement under which the Canadian Government could sell the equipment and then turn the proceeds from the sales over to the United States, after deduct ing expenses incurred. Under law, the equipment couldn't be sold in Canada by the United States un- til customs duties were paid. Some hulldozers and other equipment have already been made available to the Canadian Government, King said.

The idea of Arctic trade route to Asia and Europe has been revived in Edmonton, Alberta, in pamphlet which proposes to bring the postwar Arctic trade route to Asia and Europe to Edmontons back door,
 Alaska would be by-passed completely although part of the trade would pass by Nome through the jaws of Boring Straits.
 Under the plan the route from Edmonton would be by rail road to Great Slave Lake, thence down the Mackenzie River by barge to Tux or Hersche Island At this point the route would split going over the top of the world to Asia and Europe

 NATIONAL ISSUES: Parent IS will cooperate with school autnuIl- ties on early preparations for wise changes in educational courses Children are to be appraised as the principal wealth of the nation and to be cared for without discrimina- ton as to family incomes.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR s The lunation of this date opposes Hitlers Saturn and marks the approach of the downfall of the Nazi Party. Again sudden surprises are forecast as the end of the dic- tator draws closer. Delays and treacherous diplomatic moves are foreseen.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of events which will require restraint in speech and correspondence. Love affairs may be hazardous.
 Children born on this day prob- ably will be persistent and cour- ageous in building careers which should be successful

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE

The Golden Text of the Sunday
lesson-sermon on "Unreality" in all
branches of The Mother Church,
The First Church of Christ, Sci
enlist, in Boston, is from Jeremiah
and reads Truly in vain is saliva
ton hoped for from the hills, and
from the multitude of mountains:
truly in the Lord our God is the
salvation of Israel"
A citation from the Psalms reaCS
Because thou hast made the Lord,
which is my refuge, even the most
High, thy habitation; There shall
no evil befall thee, . For he shall
give his angels charge over thee,
to keep thee in all thy ways" A
selection from the Acts relates,
there sat in a window a certain
young man named Eutychus, being
fallen into a deep sleep; and as
Paul was long preaching, ne sunk
down with sleep, and fell down
from the thiro loft, and was taken
up dead And Paul went down, .
and embracing him said, Trouble
not yourselves; for his life is in
him =. And they brought the
young man alive, and were not a
little comforted."
Mary Baker &c dy writes in Sci
ence and Health with Key to the
Scriptures: Accidents are un-
known to God, or immortal Mind,
and we must leave the mortal basis
of belief and unite with the one
Mind, in order to change the ma
ton of chance to the proper sense
of Gods unerring Erection and
