Air Force Day

On August /, 1907 the Signal Corps issued an
order creating division OF aeronautic ito
study the flying machine and the possibility
of adapting it to military purposes At that
time the nations air force consisted of a
captain and two enlisted men,
August / next will be celebrated as Air
Force Day." General Arnold has ordered that
all airfields in the country be open to the
public for inspection of planes and facilities.
The occasion will be the thirty eighth birth
day of the Army Air Force, which has grown
from the three members noted above to $500,
600 officers and men.
Another way the anniversary might be OBJ
served would be to send the greatest of all
flight of bombers and fighters over Japan
with the heaviest bomb loads ever carried
and drop them on all military targets.

DailyPrayer
For q Heavenly Mind

When sleep tarries at night. and
when a new day of opportunity
breaks, may all of our thoughts
turn to Thee, o infinite Lover of
our souls. We pray for an aoiding
GNl consciousness. Wherever we
are, whatever we do, may it be
in consciousness of cur relation
ship to Thee. We deeply desire a
closer walk with God; a vital
awareness of Thy care and Thy
character. Be not far from US in
our devoticns and in GU, deeds.
In all the duties of the day, may
we be sensible of Thy nearness,
ard Of Thy fatherly protection and
providence. Hour by hour, we
world send winging to Thee suppl.
eating thoughts. Bestow upon us,
we plead, o God, the peace of
heart that the world with all its
besetments cannot take away. Our
dependence is upon Thee for our
own daily walk, and for our Coun-
try's victory over its lesser self
and over orr foreign foes. This
prayer we offer in the name of
Christ, who ever kept close COM

Breton Woods As Gauge

1t may be that the Senate vote on the Breton
Woods agreements is fair index to the caam
hers attitude toward the San Francisco Char.
fer At least it indicates that, contrary to It's
nosition following the former World war, final
action on the Charter will be favorable. ~
is even possible that the majority for the
charter will be greater than for the Breton
Woods formula proposed to stabilize curren'
c es and provide capital for Impoverished
countries seeking rehabilitation.
The United States Congress Will nave no
hand in any effort to keep the country out OF
the worlds affairs when peace has been re-
established. We are justified in hoping that
isolationism will not again be permitted TO
dominate the nations policy as it did when 1t
prevented the nation from joining the League
of Nations.
The Breton Woods agreements unoer WHICH
an international bank with cap tai OF w. loo'ooo'-
nm and loan fund of Sc, 800, 100000 will be
set I'D NAV prove an expensive experiment
not only to the United States but all paruclpat-
inc nations as well. There may never be any
d;v;dends The investment itself may never
he recovered But if the money thus employed
enables the needy nations to come PACK
If Il prevents the collapse OF any worthy ma
4;on,s currency. and world financial staolll-
ty is achieved, the investment Will nave
been a good one.

LETTER BOX
UNITED NATIONS CHARTER
TO THE EDITOR:

l.
After the ratification of the World
Charter the next step is to set up
enforcement machinery at some
place free from strain and static
"a Shangrila.
We know how to make the ma
chinery work for here we have
chartered and achieved union OF
great states, created giant indus
tries and endowed World Founda-
lions for human welfare. Our pas
sion and genius for organization
has found expression in millions OF
charters for civic, social, policical,
and fraternal groups. To all such
non.profit organizations boredom is
the greatest menace. 1t dulls the
minds of delegates, cuts church
attendance and fills trash baskets.
In CONFESS boredom is avoided
by shifting work to committees
long vacations and the walk out or
a windy speaker.
Labor Unions are immune by
nature and the profit motive, which
makes wages more certain thar
corporate dividends.
Since the quick era began, bust.
ness, to keep pace, pays fees and
offers other incentives to directors
and committeeman. Committees
are the levers which move the
world and a cash fee the best lu-
bricant. As an additional incentive
for attendance on assemblies ter
minal facilities for speakers have
been devised
The Great Charter can be made
to work by old and new methods
such as a Town Hall of the World
with television, when perfected
and now that the Church of Eng
land is adopting bold and new
methods, statesmen may profit by
its example.
Peace on Earth and good viii
partly depend on food and drink
In Diplomacy the fork is mightiel
than the pen, but is abuse is harm
full as competitive entertainment
arouses jealousies, interferes with
efficiency and should be controlled
by agreement or official orders
lest the Russians set a pace CAPT
talists cannot afford.
Decorations, titles and robes are
time honored ways to make peace
workers no less renowned thar
those in war; but finanally it will
be the characters of the delegates
the hope and confidence they in
spire and the fair play they in
woke which will help nations tt
live in peace and as good neigh
bors.

 Marshal Graziani, now a pris- oner of the Allies ordered last nights unconditional surrender of his Fascist Ligurian army, telling his troops in a broadcast "The time has arrived when further re- sistance will be useless and as far as Pm concerned, criminal"

Security Council In Accord And
 Safely On It's Way

SAN FRANCISCO, May 2-lP) The United Nations conference appears safely past its worst ob- stacles in its success in creating a world security organization, but several major arguments still lie ahead. The Dumbarton Oaks veto of controls to be placed in the hands of the great powers on the inner security council already are subject to both attack and de- fense. It is announced there are sixteen United States amendments to the Dumbarton Oaks plans which this country, Britain, Rus sia and China worked out last fall at Washington as basis for this conference due tomorrow or the next day.
 Officials describe these mainly as technical, but it is expected they might also cover such points as guarantees of justice in the en- forcement of the peace provision, revising the proposed security or ganization's charter as future needs may indicate and a discus sion allowing the security council to recommend treaty changes when the demand is necessary to help preserve peace.
