that the tragedy Of war is nearing
an end and that the great drama
of peace is beginning to unfold.
Audacity, boldness. daring are
in place in war. Vision, realism,
wise judgment, cool caution, well
thought out action and plain COM
mon sense are the attributes that

peace.
For the second time within the
short span of % years America
is engaged in a gigantic world
conflict. For the second time
within that period we have be-
come involved in war when the
country was under Democratic
president and administration and

happiness on returning to his
