the pay dating from the time OF

was refused. This amount would
also be discounted by their

While sustaining the NLRB

Cincinnati court made excep-

whose cases, the court ruled, did
not merit the reinstatement and

Gin respect to the back pay
clause, an NLRB official COM
mented that, since most OF the

been working in war plants
since the strike, their earnings
would not be less that they

Axis Reactions

While the entire peace-loving
world, Allied and neutral alike, joins
in paying tribute to Franklin Delano
Roosevelt, spokesmen for our Axis
foes express decidedly conflicting
views.
Apparently the late Presidents
death came with surprising sudden
ness to Berlin and Tokyo, and for
the first few hours both enemy capi-
tails had little to say. Then DR..
Goebbels and his propaganda min
instry decided on their line which
was the one that might have been
anticipated On Friday the German
official DNB news agency stigma
tized President Roosevelt as moth
ing but dictator, world incendiary
No. l and chief war criminal" with
appropriate amplifications of this
venomous theme, while that same
evening Berlin radio commenta-
tor, broadcaSting a statement be-
lieved to have been written by
Goebbels himself, said that Adolf
Hitler had been saved from aSsassi-
nation last July by divine miracle,
whereas another such miracle had
struck the President dead. AS foil
to this vitriolic balderdash may be
noted an interesting dispatch from
a correspondent with the Third
Army stating that the population of
occupied Germany seemed worried
at the death of the American Chief
Executive, whom they had hoped
would have been restraining in
fluence upon Soviet Russia and the
drastic vengeance most Germans
fear from Moscow if unchecked by
its western Allies.
Beside Nazi outpourings Japanese
reactions seem almost chivalrouSly
polite. Tokyo's first official COM
ment on the Presidents demise was
a Tokyo broadcast beamed to the
United States which stated that the
japanese nad ample respect Tor
Roosevelt as a great statesman"
This rather surprising attitude may,
of course, have been dictated by
deliberate intent to beguile Amer
lean public opinion as a prelude to
some fake peace maneuver. 1t was
quickly followed by the statement
that this death "does not preclude
the downfall of United States i'm
perialism." On Friday this some
what enigmatic theme was slanted
and developed by the Domei News
Agency, which stressed the alleged
blow caused to Allied leadership and
unity. 'The triumvirate of Roose-
welt, Churchill and Stain has COL
lapsed," asserted Domei. "Roose-

'Carrv Om'
By the Reu. DR.. Albert J. Mccartney,
Minister of the Covenant-FirSt Presbyterian Church

When, exactly so years ago to-
day, April IS, 1865, word of Abra-
ham Lincoln's death was flashed over
the Nation, an angry crowd gathered
in Wall Street before the Exchange
in New York. The atmosphere was
tense. Ugly threats were spoken.
Various persons attempted in vain
to still the throng until at last James
Abram Garfield, then little known,
stepped to a balcony and waving a
telegram before the crowd, succeeded
in calming the frightened multitude
with the words quoted from the
ninety-seventh Psalm: "Fellow citi-
zens! Clouds and darkness are
round about Him. Justice and judg-
ment are the habitation of His
throne. Mercy and truth shall go
before his face Fellow citizens
God reigns, and the Government at
Washington still lives"
Not this time by an assassin's bull
let, but by the slow and ineluctable
invasion of dire disease, another
President has been removed from
Office, and We once more are re-
minded that the chief actor upon the
stage of history is God.
Strange and unfathomable con-
catenation of events! Just as our
armies near the gates of Berlin
symbol of victory, he who played so
conspicuous a part in the drama of
the worlds most colossal struggle
joins the innumerable hosts of his
comrades in the strife who have paid
the last full measure of devotion.
God buries the worker, but He
carries on the work. The purest
tribute our time can pay to the MEM
ory of the late Chief of State is for
each one of us to do his or her part
as a citizen of this Republic with
renewed conservation and zeal to
work for the establishment of a just
and lasting peace. When King Uziah
died in Jerusalem, the young Isaiah
who, like so many of our youth to-
day who have no recollection of any
other President, could not remember
a time when Uziah had not been on
the throne. The impact of the kings
death on him was terrific, so he
sought the consolation of religion
in the temple. There he tried to
think things through and there God
spoke to him and in obedience he
dedicated his life to his country in
these words: Here am l. Send me-"
In like manner the impact of the
Presidents death upon the mind and
heart of a world sensitive and raw
from its life-and-death struggle for
freedom is indeed of a nature CAL
cuated to fill us with frightful Won-

A Farewell MESSAGE

If death had not come for PreSi-
dent Roosevelt last Thursday, the
American people would have heard
his voice the following night. He
had planned to address them
through Jefferson Day dinners-on
the subject of peace. He has left
the text behind him, and the words,
at this particular moment in history,
seem peculiarly fitting.
The American people, wrote Mr..
Roosevelt in this undelivered speech,
would not be content with mere
military victory. Mere military vic
tory would not be enough. I'VE seek
peace-enduring peace. More than
an end to war, we want an end to
the beginning of all wars" And to
realize this we must do "all in our
power to conquer the doubts and
fears, the ignorance and the greed,
which made this horror possible"
Franklin Roosevelt believed that
nations can and must learn to un-
derStand and trust each other. Had
he lived, he would have said last
Friday that 1--WE are faced with the
pre-eminent fact that, if civilization
is to survive, we must cultivate the
science of human relationships
the ability of all peoples, of all kinds,
to live together and work together,
in the same world, at peace"
Nor was he a man easily dis
couraged by the difficulties standing
in the way. On this point, just the
day before he died, he wrote into
his speech this reference to the
American people as a whole: Il
measure the sound, solid achieve
ment that can be made at this time
by the straight-edge of your conf
dence and resolve" and he went on
to declare that "the only limit to our
realization of tomorrow will be our
doubts of today. Let us move for
ward with strong and active faith"
1t was by confidence, resolve and
a strong and active faith that he
himself overcame a great physical
handicap. 1t was by confidence, re-
solve and a strong and active faith
that America grew to be what it is
today. And it is by confidence, re-
solve and a strong and active faith
that this Nation, in cooperation
with the rest of the world, can build
a decent and lasting peace-the
most urgent necessity of the mod
ern age.
1t is a kind of farewell message
Mr. Roosevelt has left behind-an
unspoken appeal to all of us to carry
on in his spirit, in the traditional
spirit of our land, to make this a
better world in which our children
and our children's children will be
free from the thing now convulsing
the whole of mankind.

Their Fault, Too

Germany will not celebrate Adolf
Hitler's birthday in the usual man
ner this year. According to spe-
cial decree by Heinrich Himmler,
April 20 will be just another day,
with no time off-as in the past
for parades, testimonial banquets,
beer-hall festivities or singing and
dancing in the streets.
No order is needed of course, to
restrain the German people on this
score. Our Allied armies have long
since made it clear even to the dull
est of Hitler's followers that April
20 is a day far better suited to
lamentations than to rejoicing. To
the citizens of the Reich-the un-
discerning ones or the ones who
were Indifferent to what happened
to other peoples as long as they
themselves grew rich with loot-thiS
man may have once seemed heaven
sent, but today great numbers of
them must begin to look upon him as
a kind of curse from whom has flown
all the disasters now Detailing Ger
many.
Since they yielded to him virtual
1y without a fight and since they
cheered and followed him while he
was putting other countries to the
torch, the Germans as a whole merit
little or no sympathy as they dis
cover at last that Hitler. with a
demoniacal insistence on shedding
blood lavishly for a futile and evil
cause, is bringing down upon their
own land the same kind of torture
nd~misery he carried to the lands
surrounding them. When his birth
day~Eomes, let them brood upon it.

velt's passing at this time will not
only mean that Churchill's position
becomes shaky, but it will also throw
a gloomy shadow on the anti-Axis
prosecution of the war" Yesterday
the japanese Premier extended his
profound sympathy to the Amer
lean people.
If these comments are indicative
of resurgence of wiShful thinking
in either Berlin or Tokyo, the best
answer is to be found in the con-
tinuouS stream of news dispatches
from all the fighting fronts telling
of resounding victories won by the
Allied and Russian armies. With
the Reich virtually cut in twain by
the latest American advances and
the most desperate japanese "sui-
eide" tactics failing at Okinawa and
elsewhere, the doom of the Axis is
obvious. Nothing, humanly speak
ing, can avert it.
