/. Our War With Japan

The Sixth War Loan marks turn in the both
the fighting and the home fronts 1t points tremendous
effort definitely in the direction of the Pacific During
the first five loans Americans primarily thinking in
terms of beating Hitler
Now government asks for loan of IA billion
dollars of which five billion dollars must come from indl-
viduals Why? Haven't nearly finished off socaled

against realities not day dreams They kill or killed They
pray every waking moment for sky-darkening of
friendly planes They thank America for giving them the
finest medical in the world when their rendezvous with
destiny Pacific ungleis at hand They know the with
the Japs is just beginning.
Here other Pacific realities so that you will under
stand why there must be Sixth War Loan and why is
absolutely necessary that it be success:
The Allied Military Command has estimated that it will
take years, not months, to lick Japan.
Japans present army numbers about 900 with 20O0
900 available and fit for military service who
haven't been called to date Another between
the of II and TO- not yet subject to the draft
The Jap Air Force is growing.
In addition to millions of native workers. Japan has
tena slave force of 900 conquered people 500 of
Japans labor made of Another 259 boys
and girls under TO- the balance The Jap workday
twelve to sixteen hours with two days off month The Jap
leave his job change it, strike. The highest daily
wage equals about three American dollars-30 to 1870 of
which goes to taxes and compulsory savings.
The JAP in the Pacific know will fight to the
death AS far the Jap concerned the outer
the who defend it-are the expendabes. The Jap will
fight the Battle from inside the inner Empire.
The Jap believes that shall weary of too easily
and too early
In the invasion of France supply ships had overnight
to make. In the coming Battle of Japan ships the
Pacific will have longreached round trips that often take five
months to make.
These realities worth thinking about before you keep

with some trusted counselor,
with God.
Yet while all considerations
of good sense, of unselfish
thoughtfulness, and of the best
interests of the home dictate
this policy, the more fine grain
ed the guilty party is, the more
burdensome he finds such secre-
tiveneSS TO be.

Many lives are distraught
with anxious dread of being
found out. Two lovers, fully in
tending marriage, both students
for doctorates in philosophy, de-
cided not to marry until they
had secured their degrees, but
meantime TO allow themselves
full marital privilege. They ra-

No realistic dealing with the
problem of anxious fear can
omit this central matter: An
ethically satisfying life indis-
pensable if one is to be deliver
ed from harassing breads. 9th
erwise, Conscience does make
towards of us ALL"
This is particularly evident
when the wrong that we have
done is secret. We have in our
lives a secret closet, as in Blue
boards palace where dead
things hang, whose discovery
we dread. That situation is pro-
ductive of endless anxiety. AS
the old legend of Eden puts 1t,
when Adam and Eve had eaten
the apple, they concealed them
selves from the presence of the
Lord God amongst the trees of
the garden" and when discov-
cred, Adam said. 81 was fraid
and I hid myself" That
ancient insight Is as modern as
the latest psychoanalysis.

no conscious sense OF wrongdo-
ing troubled their minds. Yet
the young women came peril
ously near nervous breakdown,
was sent by the physician TO the
minister, and at last was
brought reluctantly TO see that
nothing was the matter with her
except her inability to stand
clandestine living. Deeper than
her argued consent to her con.
duct lay the fact that it would
not stand the test of publicity.
She was too fine-grained and
sensitive person TO endure fur
tiveness; what had to be done
on the sly was subconsciously
repugnant to her; her ethical
self-defense was not so strong
as her basic need as a high
grade personality TO live openly
and candidly.
In such a case the cure was
simple-a marriage service that
did not alter the conduct but did
remove its clandestine charac-
ter. Far more complicated and
difficult are most cases of secre-
tive behavior. One way or an
other, such secretiveness must
be ended if coherent, well-in-
tegrated personality is to be
achieved. Confession, whether
to the aggrieved, to the church,
to some wise counselor, or to
God alone; restitution, where
that is possible; forgiveness,
which re-establishes personal re-
lationships upon a basis of can
dor and mutual understanding
such processes are indispensa-
BILE TO the souls health.
The long tradition OF the
church in this regard is based
on solid facts, and among the
most joyful of its saved souls
have been those whose closets
and attics have been cleansed
of stealthy sins, until they have
lived openly and aboveboard,

his place a strange man who took no
particular interest in her. Her chief
companion was an elderly invalid;
the probability is that she had none
of the happy home life to which a
child has a right, small friends COM
ing in and cut, parties and picnics.
In those years you weren't making
her your first consideration; there
was nobody to stop her from grow
ing as shy and twisted and unhappy
as you describe her now.
Now your service to her must be
to see that she is equipped with the
right clothes, with money for imme-
date expenses, and with your en-
couragement and faith. The mo-
ment she is independent, given a
chance to develop in her own way,
she will lose her shyness and self
consciousness, and blossom out in a
dozen directions. 1t is because she
feels so keenly your disappointment
in her, your bewilderment or mis-
giving about her, and the primary
fact of her life-that you did not
turn to her until you needed her, nor
think in all the years of her child
hood and first youth how desperate
ly she needed you-this is the reason
that she shows you her very worst
side, her quivering, nervous, blum
dering, stupid side.
You conclude your letter by say
ing now, when we two are alone in
the world, must depend upon her
for companionship-for all the happi-
ness that is left" But that's ex-
actly what you mustn't do, unless
your protestations to her are only
part of the selfishness you have al
ways shown toward her, and you
honestly haven't her good at heart,
after all.
