is bedecked in q Noz uniform complete with iron
crosses. His arm is outstretched in q Nozi salute.
He flashes noviestor SMILE Beside him ore his

We wondered, as we looked at the picture, what
those two youngsters would think if they should
come upon it in, soy, 1860 We wondered if DeereIIe
had oIso thought about it, and about the shame
that they probably will feel at having innocenty

deserve to be passed along.
Mr.. Wodsworth wos pleading thot this country

onIy "fIimsy skeleton of national defense strue-

Our reasons have not been entirely optimistic or
pocfistic Mr. Wodsworth explains it thus: "When-
ever the American people grow FESTIVE under tax

The congressman knows whereof he speaks. He

New York, he was chairman Of the Senate Commit

will be plenty Of temptation to repeat the process
when this war is over. Such things the interest on
staggering national debt and billions in exPendi-
lures for returned soldiers will bring unprecedented
peocetire taxes.
It is obvious now that we paid price for unpre-
poredness, in the months following Pearl 7orbor,
thot brought US perousy close to disaster 1t is OBJ
vious that we connots offord to pay such price
again. We may be inclined to forget these things
later when danger seems to have oboted and high
taxes continue.
Yet we had better face the foct now that the
defect Of Germany and Japan will not mean the end
Of danger. Foscisn is generous growth which,
once storted, spreads rapidly and reoPpeors unpre-

only to look to South America where Foscism is wax

1t will be we'll if all impress ourselves now
with the certainty that if we want world peace, we
shall need the strength to enforce it. Whatever it
costs to keep up that strength it will be cheaper than

SPONSORED NEWS

There is disturbing item in the generally
good communications bill which hos been drafted
by Senators Wheeler Of Montana and White Of
Maine. This provision would ban commercial spon-
sorship Of news broodcosts by compelling networks
and stations to pay for such broodcosts.
This implies on responsibility which we do not
think the broodcostine industry merits. No one
would think of banning the news from newspapers
beeouse the bulk Of newspaper operating costs
met through advertising revenue Yet the Wheeler
White proposal would have the effect in COM
merciol broodcostne, where the bills ore poid by
sale of time to advertisers Such proposal, if it
becomes law, would establish dangerous precedent
inconsistent with freedom Of speech ond press.

What more could a woman give her children than the knowledge that their parents loved and were proud of each other, and felt for tunate in their children?
 The money that parents leave children doesn't always benefit them. Sometimes it only serves to divide a family against itself, with brother and sisters having court battles over the property left them.
 SHOULD BE PROUD
 But the memory of parents who loved and respected each other, and of a happy home where the chil- dren found approval instead of nag ging criticism and parental disap- pointment, is a legacy that is all to the good.
 For it makes children proud of their family, instead of secretly ashamed of 1t as children always are ashamed who come from homes where there is little love and no harmony.
 Also 1t gives the children a pat tern by which to make their own marriages happy and their own homes secure.
 The children who are left that legacy by their parents are pretty apt to get along well in life them- selves. '
