Basic Principles Wanted

To the Editor of The Star:
Before there can be improvement in
modern conditions, there must be an
abandonment of ruthless thought and
a return to constructive principles of
normality. There is difference be-
tween fundamental right and funda-
mental wrong, although artificial con-
ceptions of them may be relative.
1t is through such conceptions that
uncertainty and doubt appear. Basic
principles of right remain right, what
ever they may be thought to be. To
restore confidence, and through it
prosperity, fundamental principles, and
methods under them, must be adhered
to and clean-cut issue between them
made with the artificial conceptions Of
al false thought. p. 8. KEY-eNITH.

Slow to Act
From the Memphis Commercial Appeal

There is considerable logic In the
position OF certain educa ational groups
seeking postponement of action on anv
program for universal military training
until after the war, when the proposal
can be considered in a more normal
atmosphere. but their position Is Offset
by a record which shows that the
American people rarely achieve anything
for their own defense after the fever of
war has abated. They are reluctant to
do 1t, sometimes. when the war u right
