 You must realize that when you take the Oath of Allegiance to this country you at the same time re- nounce all allegiance and fidelity to the countries of your nativity or from whence you came, and that from then on you have but one country and that is the United States of America.
 Tn this country we have no room for and don't want, any Norwegian Americans or Swedish Americans or British Americans or any hyphen- ated Americans under any name. We recognize only one kind of Am- ericans in this country and they are just plain, whole hearted, and whole souled Americans, whose patriotism and loyalty to our coun- try is above question.
 Therefore, if you, or any of you, have any doubts about your abilities to become such Americans you should stop now before you take the Oath of Allegiance, because as one of our greatest judges has said, To take the Oath of Allegiance without intending to keep it is perjury, and to violate it after you have taken it is treason
 On the other hand, if you are prepared to assume with us, the full responsibilities of citizenship, we welcome you to American citizen ship, and to take the Oath of Alleg- lance"

VIE Isn't V

The triumphant and eXhilarating dash across France is ended Fighting in Flu rope is taking on more characteristics of 1918 warfare, AS the blitzkrieg weather hears its end, there is less talk about Vic- tory in October and more of the posSibil- ity of winter in the trenches, The pace has slowed to point where all of us can revise any rash notions we may have had that because the Allies tremendous mo- mentum had carried them so swiftly to the Siegfried Line, 1t would hurl them on to Berlin at the same pace. The kaiSer's armies drove almost to within sight of Paris in September 1914 and never got that close again in more than four years, And while France in 1914 was not the hopeleSSly isolated Germany of today, the fact remains that even the doomed Ger man army can offer costly and delay ing resistance. It Is not belittling one of the greatest military operations in hiS- tory to say that the lightning liberation of France started this country on binge of optimism which affected The Penta- gon in Washington as well as Main street. A solemn conclaVe of Pentagon generals, planning the announcement of victory, Issued directives on what was to be done on ''V Day minus 30" "V Day minus 25," and so on, That was only symptom of the general feeling about sudden and conclusive triumph,
 Now some of our frantic preparations for VIE Day look little foolish, And the persisting feeling that tits about over, SO hurry up and give us gas, tires and top Nsirloin" Is more than foolish. In the first place, there are responsible predictions that there may be no VIE Day as such. The German army may disintegrate, and the Nazi government may fall. But the collapse may be spread over dozen diff very well be no government to negotiate an armistice. Sporadic fighting might continue after what should be VIE Day has passed
 And then there Is the obvious, harped- on but still under estimated job of beat ing Japan. The Japanese high command Ing complete defeat on the possibility of our becoming tired and fed-up with a long war. If we are too inSistent for re- turn to peacetime living, If we are too Inclined to view the Pacific war a lesser matter than defeating Germany, that hope may be justified. There must be another D Day on the coast of China. And 1t won't be matter of crossing the channel from an immense storehouse of supplies. It is going to be long, tough bitter fight. So let's worry less about whether we should close the bars or leave them open on VIE Day. and turn pur eyes and our full effort not only to- ward Berlin, but toward that distant V Day in the Far East.

sian communism. The Russians ohvl- ously love their homeland and thelr way of life. No one can deny that they have fought like heroes to defend both.
 We don't believe, however, that the majority of Americans would trade their unique guarantee of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness even for job. Mr. Wallace clearly infers that we have never yet proved that our form of government is best, If we had, we shouldn't need tone more chance"
 Certainly the operation of our gov ernment has been faulty throughout Its history. But we do not think that the form of our government, as opposed to its operation, is on trial, We think that the problems of employment can and will be solved without altering that form, Neither presidential candidate, nor any candidate for congress, to our knowledge, has suggested otherwise, We doubt that the vice president will find much popular support for his lone more chance" ultimatum.

One More Chance

When the war is over we have "one more chance to prove that our form Of government is best" Vice President Wal lace told an audience in Troy N. r., the other night He also told them that after this war there will not be unem- ployment in Russia. We've got to do as well as they. We must do better or else step back" We agree with MT. Wal lace that full employment is of para mount importance. So does the whole country, as witness the many varied and earnest programs aimed at that necessary goal. We don't agree with Mir. Wallace'S inference that full enl- ployment is the one criterion by which to fudge our form of government. If It were, we wouldn't have to turn to the promise of full employment in Russia after the war. We could turn to Ger many before the war. One of the chief arguments of Hitler's friends in this country, once upon time was: "Well at least you'll have to admit that he wiped out unemployment in Ger many"
 MT. Wallace is on safe ground when he says that there will be no unemploy- ment in Russia after this war. He could also safely say that unless Soviet gov ernment policy makes swift and ra- fical change in the meantime, there vilI be no freedom of speech or press in nostwar Russia. For many years the Russian has read the news his govern ment war ted him to read. For many years his government has dictated his likes and dislikes in books, plays and music. even friends. This isn't to sug- uest that submersion of the individual |n the state is an inevitable prerequis- |fe of full employment. Nor is 1t in- tended to be a condemnation of Rus

all the gentle patience with which an earthly father bears with a thoughtless child. The answer to our prayers depends not upon us but upon God. If we are sincere, repentant eager to do the right thing, we can be sure that In spite of our unworthiness God hears us. It is not what we are which makes miraculous answer to pray CT possible, but what God is.
 Because some people feel that God turns a deaf car to them so long as their lives are filled with weakness eS and impcrfesctionS, such people often fail to get any poy what soever out of their praying. They never pray with any expectation and certainty. They are always think ing. of themselves, of the evil of their hearts, of the aversion God must have for conduct such as theirs.fi Cor does hate evid, and unrepcntant sin is like a barred gate between the petitioner and God. But when we repent, Cor puts our sins behind us.

Education for Peace

It would be well If all American edu- catorS from primary teacher to college dean could read the words addressed to their profession by the Marine Corps commandant, Lt,-Gen. Alexander Vande- grift. For they state clearly and author itatively the important part that schools must play in training generation for active effort in the prevention of future wars. Educators cannot do the whole job, of course, But they can have tre- mendous influence in teaching the fright full lessons of war when, as General Van degrift says, many others have forgotten them with the passage of time.
 ''You will have to decide" the general points out, whether to keep your appre- citation of problems and obligations of real national security keenly alive and thus inspire others, or to let your inter- eSts slip until one day the whole matter has become remote and you trust vaguely that somewhere few government and military officials are taking care Of things"
 This eVer-present concern for peace should not, 1t seems to us, be left to the individual teachers responsibility, It might better become a part of educa. tional policy ,thoughtfully considered, The horror of war should not again Do allowed to become succession of facts in the history books, with occasional accents on heroism and forgetfulness of suffering,

Dairy Production Endangered

No matter how diligently the govern ment seeks to control and hold down the cost of food, 1t cannot escape recognizing the fact that the farmer must get prices sufficient to cover cost of production or the nation will not get food, for millions of small farmers, who furnish the bulk of the nations agricultural products, cannot operate at a loss for any long illustrated than with dairy products.
 Labor cost on farms Is ct record highs and farm production Is largely labor. The Dairymen's League Cooperative As sociation calls the attention of the War Food Administration to the fact that the only means of preventing Q sharp and continuing decline In the production of dairy products that will drastieally cur tail supplies, is @ price for milk to enable farmers to meet the additional costs.

Views Of The Press

NNoW HhVeH vVuEHeA-SVWNhi
 President Roosevelt and Cover.
 nor Dewey helped to launch Na' tional Newspaper Week with state. mentS of tribute to the American press. Both emphasized the hon- osty and efficiency of the news scr. vice given to American readers and both stressed the press aS an instru- ment of democracy. Governor Dewey went further and pointed out the evil of government domination Of the press.
 As we give q thought to these and other like sentiments. 1t b well to keep in mind that tho freedom of the press iS not Q unique free" dom but rather one member of Q family of freedoms aS tho first amendment to our Constitution makes clear, It says:
 Congress shall make no law

 right of the people peaceably to

 ances."
 Hence no individual or institution can allow any one of this group of freedoms to lapse without endan. gering all of them.
 While the newspapers are usually given the major credit for the con" tinuous battle in behalf of freedom of expression, actually the public deserves Q share of praise too. For not only do the newspapers create public opinion, but they are also a product of what the public thinks. Whenever the masses cease to re. gard the freedom of expression as precious, then the press will be un- able to maintain It's feedom no mat ter how hard 1t tries.
 Basic to the popular belief in the right of free expression and to the newspapers exercise of 1t are such institutions as the public schools, the free exercise of religion, a high standard of living for max imum number of people, political equality and equal justice for all citizens under the law. In other words, freedom of expression cam.
