The japanese Army

Within the past few months, ac-
cording to Secretary of War Slim
son, more than $4,000 japanese have
been killed in island fighting in
the Southwest and Central Pacific.
The figure is a conservative one,
being based solely on an actual
count Of bodies. Not included are
perhaps thousands more who found
a watery grave in blasted barges,
who died of wounds, disease or
starvation behind the battle lines
or who were given mass burial by
their comrades. Our Allied casual
ties have been small by comparison.
Nevertheless, though this is a
gratifying indication of the quick
ened tempo and increased power of
our recent offensive operations in
the Pacific, there is not the slight
est reason for complacency. For
even if we add up all the casualties
our forces have inflicted on the Jap
aneSe Army since Pearl Harbor-

on the ASiatic mainland-the fact
remains that we have cut down
merely a fraction of it-only about
five per cent, in the opinion Of some
authorities.
Tojo'S air force and shipping fa-
cilitieS have been hard hit, and his
navy has been bitten enough to
make it more than twice shy, but
his land strength has been relatively
untouched. Unlike the German
Army, it has been engaged in no
vast men consuming battles such as
those on the Russian front. For
long time now, it's losses in China
have been insignificant and it's in

The Cost of War

There is no coin to measure the

whatever gains may come from it.
A mans blood is beyond price, and
the Intangible things that happen
to human society in times as con-
vulsed as these-indeed, many of the

evaluated in terms of dollars and

is overwhelmed by it all; no matter
how good we may be at arithmetic
or higher mathematics, we cannot
reduce it to figures and still be even
reasonably accurate.
Yet, to the extent that some part
of it can be expressed in the Ian

nothing like this upheaval has ever

He Careh for You
By Dr.. Page Mex. Etchison,
Religious Work Director, YMCA.

The First Epistle of Peter was writ
ten by the Apostle about 66 AID,
when he was prisoner in Rome 1t
was written by a man who had
known suffering because of his be-
liefs. 1t was written by one facing
death. With such a background, he
wrote this letter of encouragement
and comfort to the severely oppressed
Christians in Asia Minor, urging
them to be patient and to endure.
Persecution is the theme Of the letter.
He asks: And who is he that will
harm you, II We be Jealous of that
which is good?" Here we have the
faith and philosophy of a man
against whom nothing which is evil
can stand. Christ was murdered
upon cross. He appeared to be de-
feated, but he won the greatest of all
victories. Again Peter writes: But
even if ye should suffer for right
eousness' sake, blessed are We, and
fear not" He had been with One
who declared: Blessed are We when
men revile you, and persecute you
=. for my sake i. j.. for great Is your
reward in heaven" And also, Fear
not them that kill the body, but him
that is able to kill the soul"

Christians have been prosecuted
through the centuries, due to the
fact that the Christian religion was
born in the experience of the cross.
Christ was nailed to cross and John
testifies: "One of the soldiers pierced
his side with a spear" That means
that his very heart was pierced. Peter
tells the followers not to think it
strange that, while they shall share
Christs suffering, they shall also
share his joys. This message of Peter
could be summarized in his words:
Cast all your anxiety upon Him,
because he careth for you" The letter
may have been copied many times
and passed from hand to hand among
the early Christians. Certainly, its

He Is Reul
From the New York Times

From the New York Times.
So far as anybody knows, Hitler no
longer goes to the fighting lines in
person. If he has ever shown himself
in the bombed cities no report has men,
toned it. In his lofty perch above the
Berghof he can see neither the charred
ruins nor the mounds of dead he has
scattered over Europe. His retreat is
too much like the ogre's nest to be true
In his chosen setting Hitler is too much
like the ogre of a monstrous fairy tale
to be a figure in real life. But the
flaming point of everything we endure
today is that he is real. There he sits
on the top of Europe, in a strong box
in the heart of his stronghold not a
symbol at all but fact, and a fact
which gives meaning and purpose to
the mighty venture which will soon be
launched. 1t Is literally a rescue ex-
pedition, a mission to deliver a con-
tinent from man who puts himself
on mountaintop, above the world,
above humanity, above the laws and
codes and limits which make peace DOS
sible either within nations or between
nations.

tute, the belligerents involved have
spent close to a trillion dollars.
Stated another way, they have spent
about a million million dollars
or a thousand billion - equivalent
roughly to $500 for every one of the
earth's two billion inhabitants. This
is three or four times the estimated
monetary cost of the struggle of
1914-1918, and before we have peace
again, the total will very probably be
hundreds of billions more.
These figures are in themselves
almost too astronomical to be COM
pretended. but they serve to show
us, at least, that war in our modern
world-from the pocketbook stand
point alone-is becoming a thing so
costly that its repetition in another
Is or 80 years might readily break
the economic back of even the rich
est nations and revolutionize the
best and most familiar systems of
society. 1t is certainly true, at any
rate, that mankind is now saddling
itself with a debt of such magnitude
and of such a lasting nature as to
make third global war seem sui
cidal for civilization as We have
known it.
Solely from this dollars-and-cents
point of view, therefore, the need
for an enduring peace is imperative
"a peace in which the nations, not
least of all the United States, will
take part in genuine system of COL
lective security. The world cannot
afford to do otherwise. 1t cannot
afford not to organize itself against
the Hitlers and Tojos of the future.
1t cannot afford it because there are
limits to its material substance-not
to mention it's spirit and sanity
and if it lets all this evil overtake it
again a quarter of a century from
now, darkness may fall permanently
on civilized society everywhere.
Somehow, a way must be found to
end those conditions that lead men
to spend, on destruction alone, the
equivalent of $500 for every one of
the earth's two billion inhabitants.

have won in the Pacific have been
undeniably great. Great, too, have
been many of our island victories
against japanese army units. But
we would be failing to see the forest
for the trees if we let these gains
important as they are-blind us to
the fact that all but a minor part
of the enemy's land strength still
stands ready for battle. AS in
Europe, so also in Asia Our air
power and sea power are not enough
in themselves to win the war; our
ground forces must move in to de-
liver the final knockout blows
In Europe. the mighty Red Army
has been bleeding the Wehrmacht
white, so that when our British and
American forces open new fronts
against the Nazis, the knockout
blows may be easy to deliver But
the same does not hold true for Asia.
Valiant and indispensable as it has
been, the long Chinese resistance
has not cut into Tojo'S power nearly
so much as the Russians have cut
into Hitler's. Before Chiang's
armies can do a really first-rate job,
we shall have. to solve the problem
of getting mountains of supplies into
China. In the circumstances, leav-
ing aside the possibility that Russia
may find it feasible and wise to
take part in it with us, our march
to Toxic is not likely to be simple
or swift. Whenever we are tempted
to think otherwise, we should re-
mind ourselves of the existence of
the huge and virtually intact Jap
anese Army waiting to stop us with
all the weapons at its disposal and
with fanatical will to win or die.

contents were passed on by word Of
mouth. How this message must have
encouraged those suffering people!
Why do innocent people have to
suffer? I do not believe there ever
has been a satisfactory answer to
that question. 1t Is difficult to real
ize that religious persecution exists
in the enlightened age in which we
live; but it does exist, and there
probably are more prosecuted people
today than ever before in the history
of the world.
The Apostle wrote these words Of
encouragement, HE careth for you,"
to suffering people 10 centuries ago,
but the same message is keeping
hope alive in the hearts of suffering
people in many parts Of the world
today. I often think of Pastor Me
moeller and those faithful Christians
in the concentration camps of Ger
many and the occupied countries.
How the words OF Peter and the
words of other great Christian lead
ers must sustain them!
Those of us who live in free Amer
lea cannot appreciate fully just what
such comfort means to prosecuted
Christians now. He careth for you"
must be the balm of Gilead" to
many war-sick, discouraged souls.
With great humility and gratitude
we should give thanks to God today,
casting all our anxiety upon him"
We should face the future with all
its uncertainties and perils with faith
and courage because we know He
does care for us. AS Martin Luther
proclaimed in another day of perse-
cution: "A mighty fortress is our
God, bulwark never failing" and:
Let goods and kindred 90,
This mortal life also;
The body they may kill,
Gods truth abideth still,
His kingdom is forever"

Huwuiiun Issue

Inc long standing controversy be-
tween military and civilian author
tiles in Hawaii has f1ared up again,
and in form which apparently is
matter of grave concern to Army
and Navy commanders in that war
theater.
More than a year ago it was an
nounced that steps would be taken
to relax the absolute military con-
troll of the islands. President Roose-
velt said the problem was shaping
up all right, and Secretary of the
Navy Knox declared that COM
pletely satisfactory formula" had
been worked out for restoring a
measure of civil authority. At that
time Hawaiian officials were COM
planning that every article of the
Bill of Rights. except possibly free
dom of worship, had been violated
by the military government.
In March, 1943, some civilian con-
troll was restored, but martial law
was continued in effect and the
writ of habeas corpus remained
suspended. In October of last wear
Lieutenant General Robert c. Rich
ardson, jr., was fined $4,000 by Fed
eral Judge Delbert E. Metzger for
refusing to release two internees of
German descent, The men were re-
leased later and sent to the
mainland, whereupon the fine was
reduced to $100. In January of this
year General Richardson was un-
conditionally pardoned by the
President.
The most recent fare-up came
after Judge Metzger ordered the
release on a writ of habeas corpus
OF a civilian navy yard worker, who
had been sentenced to serve six
months in prison by a provost court
Tor assaulting a marine sentry.
Following hearing in which Cen
eral Richardson and Admiral Nimitz
vigorously opposed the relaxation
OF martial law, Judge Metzger has
announced a final ruling which
knocks the props from under mill
tary authority in the islands. In
brief, he held that martial law did
not lawfully exist during 1943 and
cannot exist in the future. that the
Office of military governor has no
authority over civilians and that
the provost court is without juris-
oiction to try civilian cases.
In practical effect, this ruling, if
permitted to stand, will mean that
the officers responsible for the con-
duct of the Pacific war and the
security of the Hawaiian Islands
Will find that their hands are tied
in dealing with any civil matter
which, in their judgment, threatens
to assist the enemy and prejudice
our own military operations. When
the fullest allowance is made for
the understandable restlessneSs of
the civilian population, it is difficult
to believe that it is the part of wis
dom to substitute Judge Metzger's
judgment for the judgment of men
like Admiral Nimitz and General
Richardson in a matter of this kind.
And for this reason, if for no other,
there is ample justification for the
decision to take a prompt appeal
from the courts ruling.

DR.. Anderson's S Indictment

Organized religion as a whole, not
merely that division of it tradition
ally known as Professionalism" was
brought under searching criticism in
Washington last Thursday when the
Reverend Doctor Howard Stone An
derson, pastor of the First Congre-
gational Church, discussed his views
of prevailing ethical and social prob
lens. A clerical audience heard his
analysis and seemed to agree with
it. There was no immediate evi-
dence of dissent.
DR.. Anderson began by declaring
his conviction that Professionalism
had released "a great surge of spirit
ual power" through its affirmation
of christian individualism" But,
he felt obliged to realize, 1--WE have
seen this doctrine of mans liberty
:. perverted by almost every group
in their corporate activities and
every man in his personal relation
ships" People have plummeted
into egoism Of the most insidious
and vicious sort"
, Much denominationalism reflect
ing "prideful minds and hearts;
conceit among the clergy; an obses-
sion with "the idea that every man
has right to be happy" on the part
of the laity; lone out of every six
marriages resulting in divorce; the
tendency of churches almost
unanimously to be on the employers
side in labor troubles regardless of
the moral issues or merits of the
case; the justification of slavery
and resultant race prejudice; con-
sent to extravagant nationaiism;
the habit of Sniping at leaders ION
minor specific issues, demanding
this sop and that concession, and
the whole time missing the
point that generation after genera,
ton of Willful men have seized our
governments and are running them
quite apart from religious ideals;
and in the church itself the absence
of signs of the reSurgence which is
needed-Such was the unsparing in
dictment which DR.. Anderson
brought against his native branch
of Christianity. Professionalism" he
insisted, lis dying of its own genius:
individualiSm."
What is wanted is "a school of
prophets rising to criticize our pres
ent way of life and to point us to
the new way" DR.. Anderson at the
close of his address challenged "lit-
orally thousands of doctors of phil
osophy sons and daughters of mid
dle-class Protestant parents, whose
new learning has left them inartic-
ulate, embarrassed, skeptical and
agnostic" about the Saviour and His
mission on earth. He demanded
of the spiritually unemployed"
repentance, faith, restitution and
forgiveness.
But it would be mistake to i'm
aglne that DR.. Anderson intended
merely to start a crusade in re-
ligion alone. He knowS-and everv
other obServant man knoWs-that
the sins he complained about are
common everywhere. They are part
OF the evidence of world in turmoil
and torture. People who never have
pretended to care anything about
the church are vain and selfish and
cruel. Organized religion is not
solely to blame.
DR.. Anderson appreciates that, but
he is not content to accept it as an
excuse for inertia in the face of the
perils of the prevailing era of
destruction. He merits the thanks
of the entire community of Wash
ington for his courage and his earn
estness.
