THESE DAYS
-Bv GEORGE E. SOKOLSKY-

Davis, John Foster Dulles,
Henry Kaiser, Archibald Mac
Eeish, Basil 6iConnor,I Mrs.
Ogden Reid, Leland Stowe,
Raymond Gram Swing, Henry
Wallace. Sumner Welles."
This list fascinates me. OF
course, every one knows Ber-
nard Baruch. On this list, !
would vote for Bernard Baruch.
/ would not know to whom to
give second and third place.
Elmer Davis, of course, tells
the world about the United
States and Henry Kaiser builds
ships. But Elmer Davis Job
has not been told TO everybody's
satisfaction and lots of Ameri-
cans build ships. The record OF
other shipyard s-the final
record of accomplishments
will shape up with Mr.. Kaisers.
John Foster Dulles has
worked out an interesting plan
for lasting peace. But so have
Herbert Hoover and Hugh Glib
son; 50 has Ely Culbertson; so
has Clarence STREET..
I CAN NOT figure Archibald
L MacLeish at all, and whereas
Basil O'Connor is the salt of the
earth. he, 1 am sure, is too
modest to accept this designa-
ton. / should like to vote for
Mrs. Reid because l admire her.
AS to Leland Stowe and Ray
mond Gram Swing. IL would be
hard 10 fix on them. What
about Ernie Pyle?
So one comes down to Henry
Wallace and Sumner Welles.
And that is politics. If I were
TO vote for Henry Wallace-or
against him--I should prefer
not TO use this "Churchman"
ballot but the one that every
American citizen is given a
chance 10 use on election day.
And as for Sumner Welles, my
vote is for Cordell Hull.

WHILE there is virtual agree
w ment on the need for vigil
liant military preparedness in
the postwar period, there IS
strangely little discussion or
the character Of the military
establishment that is needed.
There is practically no evidence
that this serious problem is re-
ceiving any fundamental eXaml-
nation.
Official and lay comment
alike takes il for granted, by a
sort of mental inertia, that the
future military setup will be
more or less similar 70 the enc
that We now have.
This is exceedingly curious in
the light Of past experience. BY

nit that those who prepared for
the present war failed 10 take

Answer to Question No. /

Divorce was decreasing stead
lily down TO at least 1898 as is
shown by the survey made by
sociologist William F. Ogburn,
University or Chicago. The
trend was so pronounced that in
all probability the divorce rate
continued to decrease az least
until Pearl Harbor. Way back
in 1929 the divorce rate started
70 fall Prior 10 that. for 30
wears the rate had been very
steady. Thus. the answer IS
that up until the time we en-
tered the war the divorce rate
was decreasing despite the fact
that more people were getting
married than ever before. But
d regret TO say that probably
during the war and certainly
following the end of II. there
will be a rapid rise in divorces.
