NEW YORK - A canny Pres byterian with soft voice and a flair for hard, Biblical fact is al the bottom of this ground-swell of church activity toward peace.
 His was the pen of the declara- tion called "Six Pillars of Peace' issued by the Federal Council of Churches. He had started the job even before the war.
 John Foster Dulles is chairman of the Councils peace committee. There was no comparable effort in 1918, but today the bulk of 35 million Protestant Americans with the blessing of many Cath olics and Jews--is receiving the message of the "Six Pillars"
 Christian people always have decided this nations major poli- cies," says Dulles.
 Dulles is an international law yer who has made many diplo- matic sidetrips. He helped write the Versailles peace. His office is 20 floors above Wall street. He is trustee of his church and of the Rockefeller Foundation; the son of a theological professor, the grandson of a secretary of state.
 Sees Fellowship of Nations
 At 55, he is not a frustrated vet eran of treaty-making. He nour- ishes a vision of a fellowship of nations" which would do away with power politics and which evolved from many conferences and ecumenical resolutions since 1887.
 There is steady, tireless vigor to this man who takes a stroll up and down his offiee-as he outlines the philosophy of the pillars.
 we have laid down our prin- ciples-inteknational fellowship, economic cooperation, peaceful changes in treaties, self-rule ulti- mately for all peoples, control of

WAR AGAINST OPIUM

If the resolution recently introduced in Congress by Representative Judd IS passed and acted upon, the end of World War H. may also mark the end of the H. licit opium traffice. Pointing to the fact that for the first time in the 40-year fight waged against opium by the United States, the British and Dutch govern ments have agreed to abolish nonopolies in their Far Eastern territories, once they are freed from Japan, Congressman Judd persuasively argues that the time is now ripe for expanding international con- trols Since the root of the evil lies in the plant itself, controls, to be really ef- fective, must be established in the re- maining poppy-growing countries.
 Among these countries pre-war China had virtually eliminated illegal opium cultivation and will presumably take up the good work again after the defeat of Japan. There remains, however, the countries of the Middle and Near East. Actually Iran is the largest producer. The resolution, therefore, proposes that the President urge that the governments of all poppy-growing countries limit their production to the demands of the legitimate medical market. At this particular time, while the economies of the opium growing countries are upset by the war, and while they have been made financially prosperous through lend-lease, the United States, it would seem, can bring considerable pressure to bear to expedite changeover from drug to food crops The people of Tram, Representative Judd rightly as- Serts, need good food from their land more than money from opium. ."-(Jun- eau Empire).

arms and religious liberty.
 And make no mistake, the church knows whereof it speaks Even the tiniest parish supports world missions, in turn is aware of the seamy side and economic injustices in the world. Here is the secret of our love for China and our attitude toward imperial ism in India"
 How can the church hope for a just peace?
 "We shall oppose imperialism policies for a balance of power or for rule of force in which the affirmative development of the fellowship of peoples is omit ted. Force must be harnessed to justice and equity"
 A Plague On Anfagonism
 And, in practice, Dulles insists that all nations must cease know ing each other by antagonisms.
 we left out Russia at Yer sailles and spent the next 25 years in thinly-yeiled hostilities toward her. Today Russia seems terribly atheistic, but the world needs in its fellowship the con- tributions of these creative peo- ples.
 America is stale in its free dom; Russia is dynamic. We have much for each other"
 How is America to be com mitted to such a peace?
 Some of our churches-like the Methodists-are even ringing doorbells to educate our people. Some of us speak and write. We each put forward our plan in the ways we think best.
 "The politicians know-and are deeply sensitive.
 "You see," says the peace-pro- moter," this is a democracy of free people, governed from its be- ginning by Christian principles. We elect our peace-makers and Christian sentiment can guide them"

ALLIED FORWARD MARCH CONTINUES

Although the recent meeting of three top-ranking admirals in San Francisco has not been explained, there has been much conjecture on it's purpose.
 Many commentators have pointed out the significance of the conference, in that it means further trouble for Tojo, and the Japanese Empire, and it will keep the Japanese navy hunting for it's last "foxhole" in the Pacific ocean Cat the bottom).
 It is the belief of military observers that the present Hull is just respite be- fore the final gigantic push on the en- tire world front, not two or three, but one coordinated, concentrated effort, to rid the world of tyranny, and aggression, and to free, in the true sense of the word, the oppressed peoples of occupied countries.
 The terrific and ever-increasing pounding of the enemy home bases is necessary and will come soon to the Pa cific area of the front, as it is now being carried ts the enemy in the European theatre
 We picture occasionally, the postwar era as a mammoth problem. It is, but the present situation is by far the most important and expensive in the history of the world
 Freedom and Peace cannot be obtain ed without a price.
 The Japanese government, or rather it's militarist leaders, are having quite some time with their labor situation, in that they cannot force the women of the upper classes to work, and the added problem of obtaining the necessary sup plies to keep the present number of workers busy, because of the lack of shipping and the allied submarines prey ing on their lifelines
 The situation for Japan is extremely critical, although much of equipment now in use and being manufactured, is inferior to that with which they started the war.
 Lack of sea and air power has forced the Japanese to leave behind many thousands of ground forces, on the ends of the severed lifelinesl to forage for themselves or starve
 At the outset of the war the Japanese soldier would not allow himself to be captured. Rather than surrender he

FeIonious Drivinq
Charge Is Pressed
Accident on Mound
Hos Court Sequel

Justice court examination for
a 39-year-old Van Dyke war
plant worker, on a charge of
felonious driving in connection
with injuries sustained by a Pc
destrian, will take place April
ID.
The defendant, An t h on Y
Bellies, of 8519 George street,
Van Dyke, appeared this week
before Justice Frank E. JEAN
nette and asked for court ex-
animation on the charge. He was
released on bond of $500.
According to Warren Town
ship police officers, Bellies was
driving on Mound road near the
Rotary Electric Steel plant
April 3 whe nhis car struck and
injured Anton Semec, 60, of
1904 Milton, Warren Township.
Semec suffered skull fracture
and broken right leg and is in
Saratoga Hospital. Semec was
crossing Mound road at the
time, and officers claim that
Bellies instead of applying his
car brakes tried to avoid the
man by swerving his machine.

Although the drive has been
extended for a few days. Father
DeKeyser has not yet received
final report.
The general chairman has ex-
pressed his thanks TO all who
cooperated, particularly treas
urer William Kiekbusch; Rev.
Louis Heinecke, Sterling Town
ship; Rev. Versile Bentley, for
Utica, and Reed Powers for
Shelby Township.
The Utica collection was ST.
$3.50, Father Dekeyser re-
ports, and the fact that the
townships did not attain their
quotas, he said, was due to
many factory workers making
their con tributionS through
their factories. Fund workers
overed the territory well, the
chairman points out.

BRISBANE, Australia-If the
United States decides TO let its
servicemen go to the polls for
next November's election, the
Commonwealth of Australia can
give its ally some pointers on
how to take the polls to the
servicemen.
All persons over q in Aus
tralia's armed forces are and
have been entitled TO vote. The
sixteenth Parliament extended
the franchise to all over l8 who
have served or are serving out
side Australia. AS result, in
the recent election of the seven
teenth Parliament, about one
tenth of the total ballots were
cast by men and women in uni
form.
Starting we'll in advance of
the date for civilian voting,
trained electoral officers travel
ed virtually all over the world
to reach Australians stationed in
Britain, Canada, India. the Mid
die East, and on Pacific islands.
So thoroughly was the job done
that electoral authorities now
calculate that all eligible voters
were reached except a few of the
groups who were, at sea with the
Australian Navy.
Electoral officers used every
sort of conveyance, from planes,
warships and jeeps to camels,
donkeys and conoes. Some
crawled through mud and jungle
growth to reach fighters in the
front lines. One, stark naked
and balancing box and ballot
papers on his head, waded
through crocodile-infested wat
ers and then through waist-deep
mud to find an outpost of 10
Australians. Equally nude, an
other unit of soldiers lined up
and cast their votes beside
jungle swimming pool where the
officer had found them.
Nobody was slighted-either
the wounded in hospitals or the
fighters at advanced outposts. At
Goodview Junction. in New Gu
inca, the electoral officer had to
crawl through an area under
Jap machine gun fire to a shelf
cred spot Just behind the for
ward positions. One soldier at
a time was received at his post
until every man had marked,
sealed and signed a ballot. The
crew of an anti-aircraft battery
scattered from a polling place to
man their guns when enemy
planes came over, then return
ed to make their choices for
senators and representatives.

undertaken, il was necessary TO
acquaint men and women of the
service with candidates and is
sues, since many of the voters
had long been isolated from To-
cal problems and political cam
paigns. Service newspapers and
magazines undertook this job
with scrupulous fairness. A pol
icy speech by the prime minis
ter, for example, would be fol-
lowed or accomplished by a
similar message from the leader
Of the opposition, and occupying
precisely the same amount of
space. Individual candidates
were given the same privileges.
In few remote areas where
publications had not gone regu-
larly, the electoral officers were
charged with explaining who
each candidate was and what he
stood for. Sealed ballots were
taken to various headquarters
areas where special returning
officers counted the votes and
sent the results TO Sydney.

Asbestos Siding

Dealers Report
Mony Inquiries

The greatly expanded popu-
larity of asbestos sidings in resi-
Dental repair, plus their wide
spread use in new war construc-
tion,, has led to many-ineuiries
about the material from owners
of old homes, dealers reported
Saturday.
In general, they advise, appli-
cations of these sidings should be
entrusted to workmen familiar
with the products, although sat-
isfactory jobs can be done by
persons who are handy with
tools and who first familiarize
themselves with the material.
Proper application methods
are essential to good appearance
and satisfactory service in the
case Of asbestos sidings as with
every other type of material.
All should follow instructions
closely.

Speed Selling
Of Old Homes
Encourage Work
on Old Houses

Construction OF new homes
for the millions of American
families who will need and want
new living accommodations af-
ter the war would be stimulated
greatly by providing adequate
financing facilities for the resale
Of existing residences and by
encouraging direct investments
in housing by large holders of
investment funds, Frederick M.
Bobcock, chairman of the post
war committee on finance of the
Producers Council, stated Sat-
urday.
"Many of the families which
desire and can afford TO pur-
chase new homes are handicap
ped by the fact that they already
own older dwellings which Of
ten cannot readily be disposed
Of" Babcock said.
by revising the policies of
the FILA in such way as to per-
nit that agency to insure loans
on existing construction with
down payments as low as those
permitted in the purchase of a
new house, the resale of the
older properties would be great
ly facilitated.
If used houses could be
resold as conveniently as used
automobiles have changed hands
in the past, construction of new
homes would be stimulated and
the large number of older homes
that would become available
would go far toward providing
suitable housing accommoda-
tons for families with low in
comes which are not in position
to acquire new homes"
