whats In Front"
lIK1HETHER. A THJNfI i ton,

WHETHER A THING is tough
or not depends on what's in
front of you" declares General
Courtney H. Hodges, Commander
of the U. S. First Army, now in
the United States on his way to
the campaign in the Pacific.
This statement should be borne
in mind in connection with the
reports of American losses in
BUSTING the Japanese from vari-
Gus island bases, but the price of
victory depends ION what's in
front of you"
Obviously, in appraising losses,
this important factor should not
be overlooked. 1t has been a ten
dency in the United States, when
ever American fighting men run
up against stiff Japanese resist
ance, to over-emphasize necessary
losses sustained. These are played
up in debatable manner, without
any attempt to correctly appraise
the terrain or the number OF
enemy soldiers involved and with.
out a comparison of losses.

Steel Pipe Lines

THE END of the fighting in
Europe brings additional rev.
Citations of ingenious methods
adopted in order to mount the in
vasion of Normandy.
One of the greatest problems of
the invading army was the pos
session of adequate supplies of
gasoline and oil. 1t was solved by
twenty pipe lines laid under the
English Channel, from Britain to
France, which since last August
have pumped 12O,O00,00O gallons
of fuel under the Channel.
Three-inch steel pipes were
wound on drums, placed on ships
and pulled off in much the same
manner that submarine cables
have been laid. The undertaking
was handled by the British. The
United States Army had similar
project but abandoned it in order
that all energies be concentrated
on the British plan.

Prophecies COMPOUNDED
THE sELF-EXECUTIoN prac

THE SELF-EXECUTION prac-
ticed by some of the Nazi
leaders, notably Gestapo Chief
Heinrich Himmler, indicates that
these men had no confidence what
ever in prolonged subterranean
resistance in Germany.
For months before the end OF
the war, there was considerable
speculation about the Nazi We're
wolves organization, which, it was
presumed, would conduct a gangs
ter type of resistance throughout
Germany. AS rapidly as Allied
armies occupied German areas, it
was discovered that the threat did
not materialize.
Everybody remembers reading
about the elmer redoubt" where
die-hard Nazis were to congregate
in the mountainous areas of Aus
tria for bitter resistance unto
death, Famous military experts
advised us that it might take many
years to clear up the nest but,
once again, the events that
occurred disproved pessimistic
prophecies.

Bible Enjoys Postwar
Revival Of Interest
World Is ReaWakening to Spiritual Values;
Scriptures Source of Inspiration
For Millions of DiSconSoIate.
By BAUKHAGE
NetUs analyst and Commentator.

However, there is another answer
which is given by many thought
full people They say this; The de-
feat of nazi-fascism was the defeat
of ~ idea as well as military pow
er. That idea based on a purely
material concept was opposed and
overcome by the western nations
whose philosophy Of government as
well as of morals and ethics is based
on the Christian religion.
This triumph of the Christian
democratic ideal has affected diff
ferent people for different reasons
but with the same general result. To
many who yielded to the lure of nazi-
fascism its failure revealed its fun
damental error. Their alluring idol
showed its feet of clay and they
are turning repentingly back 10 its
opposite. Christianity.
To many who have been but pas
sive followers of the Christian teach
ings, the terrible price the world has
paid in blood has been a harsh re-
hinder of their delinquencies. They
have renewed zeal in their faith.
To those, of course, who have suf-
fered or are bereft, comfort comes
with the contemplation of the scrip
lures, with their hopeful message.
And then there is another explain
alton of this desire to renew and re-
inforce their communion with the
word of God. If / may venture into
the realm of the metaphysical let
me quote from an anonymous article
in a pamphlet entitled Let Freedom
Ring" (also product of the Amer
lean Bible society.
The author states that Samuel
Smith, author of our patriotic hymn
America" put only one major idea
in his verses.
1T is God that is the author of
liberty" this article continues.
Liberty does not have its origin in
man. God has implanted it in mans
breast. Perhaps this is the reason
that, more than all others in the OPP
pressed lands, the churches have
stood up before tyranny and rebuked
1t b. perhaps this is the reason
urgent requests are coming from the
liberated lands for the Book of which
they have been deprived. Chris
tians all over Europe are again
studying the Bible to learn afresh its
lessons. :"
Whether for these or still other
reasons of which we are unaware.
we know that tremendous renais-
sance of interest in the Bible is
sweeping the world.
And so it is the good fortune of
the Bible lover, whether he be an
eiudite scholar or a simple and de-
voted reader spelling out the texts
as he goes along, that George Slim
son completed his helpful, interest
ing, searching and authentic Book
About the Bible" in this particular
year of our Lord.

or course l asked George how he
happened to write "A Book About
the Bible" Because ne said with
no hesitation, Il wanted answers to
those questions myself" The first
Bible Stimson ever owned he got
from a mail order house when he
was Is. 1t was his second "own"
book. The first was "Pilgrim's
Progress" He read them both, by
kerosene lamp, stretched out on
his stomach on the kitchen table.
Then he began to ask questions
questions-questions-of his Sunday
school teacher, of the preacher, of
anyone who would listen. How did
Paul look? What about Jesus
brothers? What became of the lost
tribes of Israel? and many others
which thousands of readers of the
Bible have asked before and since.
The answers weren't so satisfactory
to the young inquisitor and so he
kept on asking. And reading, and
clipping and searching and re-
searching.
Nor did he cease TO examine the
source of his curiosity. He has read
the Bible from cover to cover at
least 10 times. He has read it count
less times if you added up his brows-
ings. He has read it twice aloud to
himself.
And now, he gives the world the
answers to the questions he himself
began asking back there in the little
country church, giving them to the
world simply, authoritatively and
completely, at a moment when the

than any other ever printed, is be-

How To Avoid War

"AT THE BOTTOM of every.
body's heart there is the feel
ing that if America and Britain
stick together, our children and
grandchildren will not have to
fight another war like this" de-
clares Vice-Admiral Sir Henry B.
Rawlings, British Task Force
Commander, now operating in the
Pacific.
The British Admiral repeated
the pledge of his nation to send
everything we have' in the way
of feet units to the Pacific to see
the war against Japan through to
the end. He admitted that he had
a personal score to settle with the
Japanese and that the japanese
military caste should be discredited
with the Japanese people.
Everything that has happened
since the end of the war against
Germany confirms the declaration
of the British that they are in the
war against Japan wholeheartedly
and without reserve. Nevertheless
the facts do not impress anti
British Americans, who express
doubt as TO the intentions of the
British and seem to be determined
to create and maintain suspicion
and distrust in connection with
our present war ally.

Competition

About Is years ago people in all
walks of life began to notice and talk
about competition between indus
tries. 1t was new then and inter-
esting Before that, competition was
understood to exist between people
and firms in the same industry
merchant VS.. merchant. railroad VS..
railroad, sawmill VS.. sawmill, etc.
But after World War / it was a
changed business world, plain to
see.
Among the modest newcomers in
that remote era was a product called
rayon. 1t was manufactured in the
form of yarn, like wool and cotton
yarns. The price TO weavers was
$3.50 pound against soc for cotton
yarn. Last year 55e a pound was
the price Of both rayon and cotton
yarns, and rayon was on the market
as fibre.

Unconditional Surrender
Plain

a GROUP OF labor leaders,
churchmen and educators
have urged, President Truman to
make a positive" and Specific"
statement on the plans this coun-
try believes appropriate to lasting
peace in Asia, saying that with
out such a statement, the Japanese
people will be Justified in the
fear that some. of the threats so
vociferously made in America
against their future national life
and economy will be carried out"
This represents an interesting
phenomenon of American life.
Various groups of individuals,
processing themselves extremely
liberal, apparently seek to create
the impression that the war with
Japan continues because this coun-
try has failed to make definite
statement of war aims. They
overlook the fact that the war be-
gan and continues because the
Japanese attempted to dominate
the Far East and decided to strike
the United States in the process.
There is nothing much to be
gained by the American govern
ment attempting to outline a solu-
ton for the ills of Asia. When
the Japanese are defeated, the
nations that encompass aer defeat
will have to confer about the
future and compromise their con-
fiicting viewpoints in the interest
of continued harmony which is
more important than the reassur-
ance of the Japanese.
The group of interested citizens
seem to fear that Japanese mill
tarists will make propaganda as
long as the Japanese have stom-
aeisA for war. As was abundantly
illustrated in Germany, the propa-
gandists do not need any excuse
for their yarns. They put them
out and their people believe them
regardless of their truth or
falsity and there is nothing we
can do about it.
The Japanese people include
some intelligent individuals. These
men and women know the history
Of the United States, its long rec
ord for liberalism in world affairs
and its championship of democ-
racy. They know, if they know
anything, that when the United
States wins the war, the peoples
of Asia and the Pacific islands will
have an opportunity to develop
under more favorable conditions
than ever before. They will be
relieved of the curse of Japanese
militarism and the United States
will not attempt, to dictate to
them. $50

Last week l sat down to write
piece about man who wrote book
about the Bible. thought the book
and its creator were worth more
than casual comment because of the
nature of both creation and creator.
Both are unique. But before | had
made more than dozen inquiries in
search of collateral material for my
article discovered that the produc-
ton of the book was news in another
sense. / found it to be more than
another contribution to modern lit
erature and scholarship. l found II
TO be part of modern phenomenon
"a phase of what appears to be the
greatest revival of interest in the
Bible which the world has ever seen.
George Stimson, who wrote "A
Book About the Bible" is one Of
Washington newsmen whose name
is known to many readers of his dis
patches and his column, especially
in the Middle West and South. He is
known to smaller circle for the
profundity of his knowledge on many
subjects. especially the Bible, | think
it more than coincidence that he
completed the work TO which he has
given a lifetime Of study and devo-
ton this year. He may have guessed
that this period in the worlds his
tory which has witnessed the great
est EQUALIZATION of humankind
would naturally be followed by a
strong reaction toward things of the
spirit. In any case the arrival of
this Book About the Bible" could
not be more timely. Lloyd Douglas,
author of that gripping work, 1.-The
Robe" informed me last month that
the American Bible Society has re-
ceived the largest order for scrip
lures in its 100 years of history, and
that the distribution of Bibles, New
Testaments and Bible portions by
this non-profit organization has
reached the highest level since it
was founded in 1876
This biggest single order was for

ing military missals and prayer
books for the European theater of
operations and in addition 500 Ger

the first one; when was Jesus born?
and the last one: does mile" occur

Oldest Bible manuscripts?
And that brings us to the inquiry.
who is this man Stimson. anyhow?
He is a man of about fifty, born on
an Iowa farm and is still a keen
lover of the soil. He worked on his
college valparaiso, Ind paper and
then on small town papers. came to
Washington to help edit the Path
finder and was on its staff for 10
years. He is the author of four sue
cessful volumes of popular infor-
nation, and still syndicates unique
and colorful column called You'd
Be Surprised.
l wish l could take you into George
Stimson's little Office in the National
Press building in Washington and
see him toiling at his old-fashioned
roll-top desk.
You will probably find him poking
at his ancient typewriter with two
fingers or running them through his
healthy name Of brown hair while he
cogitates, You might find as a call
err the speaker Of the house of rep
resentatives, some foreign diplomat,
a distracted correspondent or some
poor, ambitious girl or boy seeking
advice on career. In any case you
would be welcomed with a smile and
the chances are you would not leave
without some aid and comfort,
moral or material.
