THESE DAYS

IN THESE years of war, who
dares think of peace.
Yet, it is only peace that we
seek; only peace that we war for.
No people ever goes to war
for war; they go to war TO find
peace.
And when peace comes, the
heart is glad. Every heart is
glad.
peace on earth, goodwill
toward man."
Today we may not speak OF
peace. lest we be suspected Of
loving our enemy.
We are told that we must hate
our enemy.
And those who speak of peace
are disliked and distrusted.
Even during Christmas. they
must not speak Of love-even OF
love or pity.
And that is what Christmas is
about. If you can remember. II
is about peace.
II is about the Prince of Peace

THERE is not the slightest
possibility that Japan will
be defeated by next July, unless
Russia enters the Pacific war.
In that case, the japanese
might sue for peace. and they
would be willing to accept even
the harshest terms, relying upon
trouble splitting the Allies in
the Pacific, just as it has done
In the Atlantic.
Similar spheres of influence
enter the picture in Asia and
the same bugaboo of balance
OF power prevents any real
political cooperation among the
