Asks About Change in Ideals.

To the Editor of The Star:
Recent articles, including one bv
man high in Government position. on
the subject of the kind Of peace that is
to follow the war place main emphasis
on forcible maintenance of peace and
American security, with little or no
mention OF the initial purposes for
which America entered the war. / e..
Punishment of totalitarian government.
the triumph Of universal self-rule which
includes the inseparable Wilson-named
right of self-determination": security
from aggression and a more abundant
life for all peoples.
1t seems fitting, therefore, to ask.
Has our Government actually abandoned
Americas original war aims which were
10 remove the causes of war? Are we
really aiming now only for our own
security by means of world organiza-
t1on to enforce peace by military might?
Have we adopted the theory that en-
forced peace (Which will require the i'm
plements OF war; can be maintained
regardless of continued empirical and
unjust controls of the kinds that caused
the two World Wars and nearly all of
the lesser ones, including Americas War
for Independence? Is the American
arsenal to prove to be an arsenal for
the rescue and protection of empire and
exploitation? Is World War II planned
to end in another and worse Versailles,
again setting up might instead of right
as the guarantor of peace, and estab-
fishing controls for the enslavement of
mankind, instead of freedom vouchsafed
by the American arsenal to all peoples?
II we back down, what will be the
feeling of other nations, India and
China, for instance, toward the Chris
tan Nation to which they looked for
cure of the ailments, political and eco
nom1c, from which the peoples of the
earth have suffered in every generation?
Can we hold up our heads in self-respect
II we consent to peace terms that would
prevent or hinder other peoples from
the separate and equal station to which
the laws of nature and natures God
entitle them? Can we dare to be so
unfair as to deny to any people the
right to declare, as our forefathers de-
clared, These States are and of right
ought to be free and independent
States?
II we fail In our moral obligation in
th1S war, or permit our Allies to fail
IN theirs, after the wars untold sacri-
f1ce, anguish, suffering and spreading
evils of almost every kind, on both sides
OF the conflict, where can there be any
justifying results?

And one night, at the Paradise
Restaurant, which at that time fea-

all her beauty and no experience,
she was a natural for the Paradise

career in the theater, and when she
said that, she meant as a great

until dawn, holding hands.
After that, they spent every pos

plans. Plans to be married.
Plans for Patricia's career.
Do aid knew enough about show
business to know that Patricia
needed training before she could
land even the smallest kind of a
part on the stage, so he took her
to one OF the top-flight dramatic
coaches-Ronald, we'll call him
and arranged for her lessons.
