Bonds.

self not only in maximum produc-
ton Of necessary food and fiber
for the winning of the war. Farm
er loyalty will also express itself
in the equally necessary and pa
triotic duty to invest cash with
which the government can pur-
chase both food and war equip
ment. Fortunately farmers are
receiving higher prices and larger
incomes. This has enabled many
of them to reduce old debts to
manageable amounts or to acquire
surplus cash for Bond purchases.
A sense of responsibility toward
the need Of the nation for funds
with which to carry on the war
will urge farmers to purchase War
Bonds to the limit of their re-
sources.
Both direct sef-interest and pa
triotism dictate the purchase Of
Bonds as a. means to prevent in
flation. During all our large wars
we have had high war prices fol-
lowed by very low prices and de-
preston some years later. During
World War I many farmers and
others unwisely used the enlarged
income to bid up the prices of
farm land. AS a result the farm
mortgage debt was more than dou-
bled. Then when postwar prices
dropped very low many farmers
became unable to pay, and lost
their farms through foreclosure.
A repetition of this calamity can
be avoided by investing In War
Bonds instead of buying land at
inflated prices and on credit.
The danger of imitation, however,
is not limited to land. It is also
important not to bid up the prices
Of other things. Price imitation and
price collapse in every line are
harmful. Such harm can be avoid
ed by diverting surplus funds
away from the markets for scarce
commodities and into War Bonds.
Financing the war by means of
heavier taxes would be more anti
in1ationary, but since Congress
has decided in favor of Bonds it is
our duty and privilege to invest
in War Bonds.
Good farm management and
self-interest as well as patriotism
will urge the farmer to buy and
keep War Bonds. If prices fall

a time at least, they may tend to
excite or depress us unduly or make
us jump emotionally to false con-
cluSions.
From the standpoint of healthy
morale, therefore, it is important for
us to begin at once to cultivate, as
individuals and as a national group,
full awareness of the fact that our
Forthcoming Allied operations will
be on gigantic scale, that they will
be varied and difficult in the ex-
treme, and that they will be carried
out at great risk and almost surely
at more than a little cost. The
enemy, moreover, will not be idle;
he can be counted upon to resort to
desperate countermeaSureS, includ-
ing possibly surprising new forms of
attack with surprising new weapons.
1t would be foolish and dangerous,
in the circumstances, to suppose
that we shall have an easy time of
it; the only safe attitude is to expect
the worst and to be prepared to
overcome it.
In Mr.. Churchill's words, cool,
strong nerves and toughness of fiber
will be required of all of us-the
same kind of nerves and fiber that
did so much to keep Britain stand
ing in the days of the "blitz." We
are now living in the lull before the
storm. and when the storm breaks,
we should be ready for it, psyche
logically as we'll as militarily. To
this end, during the lull, it may
serve us some if we make it per-
sonal matter to brace ourselves
mentally for the thunder and light
ming to come. The time, at any
rate, is certainly one for stout
hearts and level heads, and Mr..
Churchills advice is we'll worth
needing.

A PROMISING Offer

Inc definite offer of Washington
builders to undertake a slum clear
ance program under conditions out
lined last week to the Burton sub
committee must, of course, remain
theoretical until it is given oppor-
tunity for practical demonstration,
with enactment of proper legisla-
ton. On paper, it seems highly
promising, indicative of significant
development in public thought on
this question. Certainly it deserves
every encouragement from those
whose pioneer efforts in low-cost
public housing have paved the way.
The private builders plan is based
on a relatively new conception of
the use, by Government, of its power
OF eminent domain. Can the Gov
ernment use this power to assemble
and acquire, through condemnation,
private property to be turned over
at a probable loss-to an indi-
vidual or corporation for a profit
making use? 1t is fundamental that
condemnation is justified only for a
public use or purpose. In the present
case, 1t would be argued that the
provision of low-cost housing,
though it involves transfer to pri-
vate ownership of condemned prop
erty, serves a public. purpose. But,
as the builders realize, there is little
doubt that to make this idea stick
the Government would in some way
have to remain in the picture by
determining the use, fixing min
imum housing standards and per-
haps limiting the rate of return.
The validity of this conception
under the Constitution has been
tested twice in the relatively recent
past. The New York Court of Ap-
peals has upheld an urban redevel-
opment law under which the Stuy-
vesalt Village project, financed by
an insurance company on property
acquired by condemnation, is being
undertaken. A somewhat similar
law, however, has been declared
invalid by an Illinois court. The
amount of Government control re-
tanned after transfer of condemned
property to private ownership was
at least. an important element in
fotT1 cnses t..st2 <!. .
One value of the present hearings
Is the discussion of such considera-
tions in connection with a workable
slum-clearance program for Wash
ington. Out of it there should come
plan for rebuilding blighted areas
of the District and at the same time
making decent housing not merely
available but required as a condition
of dwelling property ownership. If
the tremendous resources of private
initiative and industry can be di-
verted to this neglected field by the
availability of reasonable profit, the
possibilities are indeed great.

A Time for Level Heads

Now that the time is nearing for
the opening of new fronts against
Hitler, the American people, no less
than the British, will be wise if they
put themselves in the frame of
mind suggested by Prime Minister
Churchill in his address the other
day. First of all, as this hour of
our greatest effort and action" ap-
proaches, we must steel ourselves to
meet whatever strain may be put
upon us by the unfolding of flaming
new military events. Nothing will
be certain In the beginning-nothing
except that the victory will ulti-
mately be ours.
For, as Mr.. Churchill has warned,
In order "to deceive and battle the
enemy, there will be many false
alarms, feints and dress rchearsals."
Our forces may land in the Balkans,
or in Southern France, or in Norway.
Or at some points along the French
coast directly across the Channel
from England. Or at all these places
simultaneously. The precise loca-
tion of the main blow will probably

beyond the costliest gown. His out

answer still is made, II do not know

Some kings are bad, and some are
better; but even when they do their
best, they cannot rule like One who
had nowhere to lay His head, who
walked alone unto His death amidst

1t is not theirs; but His who rode in
sorrow through their citys streets,

Kings can command the outer act:
but who has power to stir the
aspiration of the soul? Whose royal
word calls men to serve the needy
Of the earth? Whose acts inspire
our ministries of mercy to those in

gives hope to men that, falling, they
can rise again, to mend the moral
errors of their ways and be new men,
to live and serve with Him through

Who shows the character of God?
The king who sits in splendor on his

Rainbow Explained

DR.. w. Carl Rufus, director Of the
observatories of the University of
Michigan, writing in Sky and Tele-
scope Magazine for April, discusses
the mystery of the rainbow, "the first
spectrum observed by man" and "the
herald of spectrum analysis" in
modern industry. "The challenge"
of what Hosea Ballou called Gods
glowing covenant" allegedly has
been successfully met by the COM
'bined efforts of many students of
nature, and the phenomenon (has
BEEN transferred from the realm of
the supernatural to the realm of
science"
But the problem of "the colored
rings seen in the heavens when the
light from the sun or moon shines
on falling rain" is not altogether
solved. DR.. Rufus says that "the
beautiful related myths, primitive
conceptions and ancient literary
gems that sparkle in many an
Illuminated manuscript and were
reflected in the earliest printed
pages" concerning the rainbow sud
denly lost their luster" at the touch

hers, supposed that Sir Isaac Newton
destroyed" the spectacle which
subsequently was to make the heart
OF William Wordsworth leap up"
Yet the great English physicist
himself realized that he had gone
Snly little further than Aristotle,
Topernjcus and Kepler. Shortly
Before he died he told his friends.

In his recent novel, '"The Robe"
Lloyd Douglas gives an unforgettable
picture of the first Palm Sunday. In
the crowd that follows and surges
about the Galilean one man asks of
another, ''Is he king?" The reply
comes back, "No, He is not a king"
What is he them" the first man
asks again. In puzzled voice, filled
with far-away wonder, the friend
replies, II don't know, but-He is
something more important than a
king!" The same question, and the
same answer, echo through the
hearts and minds of men today.
While kings reviewed their troops
and watched the rising walls and
towers of castled cities with hope of
conquest centered there, He watched
the children at their play, took little
ones into His arms, and saw in these
children the promise of Gods grow
ing kingdom! His ornaments were
winning words and kindly thoughts
for all in need. His Joy in victory
was to see soul with spirit freed
from ensnaring fear or greed. His
conquest was by power of good to
lure response from within the life of
even him who was condemned to die.
He made men rich and wise and
great, not by the touch of magic
word or sword upon their uncapped
heads. He changed them by the
deftest touch of spirit-hand upon
their dreams and hopes. He saw
men as they might be and helped
them leave the old less worthy ways,
to walk in habits of larger life. and
fit their talents to the dignifying
work of God.
While kings made merry with Sc
lected guests, He shared the lot of
humble people. Where kings would
call for service to their slightest
whims, He spent himself-His spirit
and His strength-to bind mems
wounds, to heal their hurts, to bring
them comfort in their loneliness.
While kings by conquering made
men slaves, His conquests always set
men free. Yet, when it came to right
to rule, no monarch matched the

Surmise and the Russians

NOt many HOnCnS ago, even
though Premier Marshal Stain had
spoken strong words to the contrary,
there was much talk in some quar-
ters about the possibility of Russia's
making separate peace with Hitler
as soon as it won back it's prewar
frontiers. Short of that, it was sug-
gested that once the Nazis were
swept from Soviet soil, the Red
Army might come to a complete
standstill and sit out the rest of the
struggle, letting our British and
American forces carry on the bal
ance of the fight all by themselves.
A few actually believed this and
worried about it, and so great is
their ingrained distrust of Stain
that they may still feel that way.
But both diplomatic and military
events certainly seem to have made
such fear look slightly ridiculous,
for we have had not only the three
power pledges of Moscow and Te-
heran but we have as we'll the pres
ent concrete fact of the Red Army's
magnificent continuing advance.
At one point, this advance has
carried Soviet troops to within about
Is miles of Czechoslovakia, and at
another point they are fewer than
500 miles from Berlin-closer by
land to the heart Of Nazidom than
is our British based Allied air power,
and quite as close to it as we would
be If British and American armies
were currently invading northwest
France or the Low Countries. Hav-
ing marched forward as far as they
have. having seen how their land
has been ravaged by the retreating
enemy and having the desire and
inspiration common to all victors to
win even greater victories, the Rus
slams appear plainly intent upon not
stopping until Hitler is crushed and
the war itself is at an end. Every
report from the battle front confirms
the Red Army roaring deep in Po-
land and in the foothills of the
Carpathians, the once glib and
somewhat mischievous speculation
to the contrary now seems as thor
oughly exploded as anything could
be.
If there is moral in all of this,
1t is simply that events usually have
way of upsetting surmise and con-
founding gossips and theorizers. The
point is perhaps not without value.
At the very least, it suggests that
the guesses and opinions Of the
armchair strategiSts and the arm
chair diplomats should be taken
with more than few grains of salt
in view Of the fact that the war has
entered a stage where speculation
may tend to run to extremes because
some developments, for reasons of
military security, may have to re-
main temporarily unexplained by
fully informed authorities. This is
something that may profitably be
borne in mind by all of us, especially
by those with nervous imaginations
and too-suspecting hearts who, after
having once feared that the Rus
slams would stop marching, now
show signs of fearing that they may
march too far
