Ions of maple sirup, it was here the
thin, pale sap was boiled down to
thick golden deliciousness. In the
fall, quartered apples and sweet
cider were stirred and boiled to the
brown tangy mass Of apple butter.
In the. medium sized kettle, corn
meal, small potatoes and middlings
were cooked into a savory mass for
the fattening hogs. And then when
cold weather brought butchering
time, the huge kettle that held a
barrel of water was used to loosen
the bristles on the porkers. Kettles
are humble, everyday helpers, but
they are part of the history of our
land. The fires that have blazed be-
meath them have helped to forge a
nation from a virgin wilderness.

The crimson trail of remembered
yesterdays stretches now from Oki-
nawa to Valley Forge. It is lined by
isles Of tranquility, some fringed by
gently waving palms; all marked, at
home or abroad, by the sacred cross
of sacrifice. There, in the final bivouac
Of the dead under their low green
tents, lie those that gave up the years
to be as they offered their young
lives for freedoms shield.
In the Towering splendor of May
times garden, even as bugles are
sounding for new battles in free
doms cause, we prepare our hearts
and minds for the sacramental jour-
ney to white stones and grassy
mounds marked by the flag and the
cross. Amidst the noisy ongoing of
lifes busy traffic and with a global
war but half won, in deep humility
the Nation turns to its stirring past
and to its warrior dead
Along crowded city streets and
winding rural lanes eager feet hasten
and loving arms are filled with
bright-hued blossoms-the forget
me-nots of gratitude and love. Lone
ly, weeping hearts will leap the seas
and walk with proud grief between
new crosses, row on row. rising from
consecrated ground under alien skies.
IN Ctill mot
fragile petals will tell of enduring
love that no depths can down.
1t is all salute to the valiant. It's
an acknowledgment of obligation
made out to the past.
That is what the one who wrote
the letter to the Hebrews does in the
stirring words of the deathless Faith
Chapter. Viewing the heroism of a
long vanished day, he was in a me-
mortal mood. Graves had opened
vistas to greatness. st. Paul had
caught the conquering step of armies
which had passed along the highways
OF courage and daring before he was
born. He had annexed the yester-
days. Back from an inspiring excur-
sion to the past he found pulsing in
his own life the thrill of those who
had subdued kingdoms and wrought
righteousness. He returned from the
day before yesterday with new Gre
dentials to serve today.
1t always is healthy sign when
the sons of today go back to the
wells of inspiration at which the
fathers drank in heroic yesterdays.

Rail Rute RuIino

~
The South has won its long fight
for rail freight rate equality with
East and North, and in so doing,
also has given boost to the West,
which likewise benefits by the In
terstate Commerce Commission de-
cision calling for parity in class
rates. Some time-perhaps as much
as two years-will elapse before the
victory is complete, because there
are several thousand commodity
classif1cations which must be made
uniform before the mile-for- mile
level Of charges is applied in the
territory between the Atlantic and
the Rockies. In the meantime, the
commission has moved to cut down
the differential of more than 80
per cent between Southern and
Western hauling tariffs on the one
hand, and those of the Northeast on
the other, by ordering a 10 per cent
cut In the former on both regional
and interterritorial movements, and
raising the latter correspondingly.
The significance of the decision
lies in the fact that in it the COM
mission openly recognizes the con-
tention, which came principally from
the South, that industrial develop
ment has been stifled in the rest of
the country by the rate advantages
enjoyed by the Northeast. This
issue has become as much political
as economic, and in the last elec-
ton the administration made full
use of it in the territory west of the
Mississippi.
The extent to which South and
West will benefit by the new rates
remains to be determined. Class
rates apply to relatively small
proportion of the total freight move
ment, governing generally, high
grade, light-loading freight, such as
merchandise and less-than-carload
shipments. Where there is volume,
the cheaper commodity rates are
invoked. Whether resultant benefits
to South and West cause injury to
the Northeast also will be an angle
watched with interest.
Another question is just where this
decision leaves the litigation insti-
tuted by the Justice Department in
the West, and by the State of
Georgia in the South, to break up
the rate-fixing machinery of the
carriers. In both instances, collusive
rate-making was alleged, but with
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion-and properly-reasserting its
authority over rates despite the ap-
pearance Of third parties on the
scene, it is difficult to see just where
court action can fit in the picture.

American forces remaining in Eu-
rope, the ferrying of combat aircraft
and supplies to active war fronts,
and the evacuation of sick and
wounded personnel.
Lieutenant General Harold c.
George, commanding the ATC, op-
crates a fleet of more than 1000
major transports over 10000 miles
of air routes. ATC pilots fly more
than 100000 miles every twenty
four hours. More statistics could
be cited, but these convey a fair pic
ture Of the growth of the ATC,
which had but ITO planes of its own
in its first year, and which flew but
16, 6,480,000 miles. Certainly it is no
exaggeration to say that the Air
Transport Command has made a
tremendous and vital contribution
to the prosecution of this war, and
that it will prove equal to the heavy
responsibilities which lie ahead.

The rounding out of the fourth

significant role in the enormous
task of redeploying American mil
itary power for the knockout blow
against Japan.
Under present plans, the ATC will
fly $4,000 men back across the At
lantic each month when the rede-
ployment program goes into high
gear. And at the same time it will
assist in the return to this country
of tactical aircraft for further COM

Iron Kettles

Iron kettles are part of the ira
dition of our country. They are all
sizes, all shapes, and used for many
purposes. Time was when they were
used much more than they are to-
day. They hung from cranes in the
clay-plastered, rock-built f1replaces
of the early settlers. AS the Cones
toga wagons rumbled westward
along the toll pixies and flatboats
f1oated slowly down the Ohio, it was
in iroh pots and kettles that venison
and squirrel stews were prepared.
When the long lines of prairie
schooners were strung out like beads
on the flower -carpeted plains of the
longgrass country, iron kettles sim
mered food over the smokeless fire
of dried buffalo chips.
Many men and women living in
city homes remember the iron kettles
on the farm. Perhaps mother had
a favorite kettle for making stews
with dumplings. It was a wide
mouthed pot that sat directly over
the fire in the wood burning stove.
In the summer kitchen there was
perhaps huge kettle built into a
brick arch. Here water was heated
in which to soak pieces of lumber
that needed to be bent for stone
-. boats, OK yokes, barrel hoops, and
wooden buckets.
But it is the outdoor kettles hang
ing from a wooden framework that
one remembers best. In sugar sea-

A person and a nation are known
by the lenses they keep. One who
is a prisoner of his date Is more
cabined and confined than the Pris-
oner of Chillon. Abundant life re-
quires a trinity Of lenses.
There Is no way to gauge the pres
ent nor to Judge the future save by
the past. For life is adventure and
life is experience; life is achieve
ment and life is memory; life is a
going on and life is a going back.
But the past may be glorifiec and
crucif1ed. It, of course, is quite
possible to cover up old well sites
with very ornate monuments and at
the same time to lose the sparkling
springs Of more pioneer and primi-
tive days. 1t is one thing to keep on
singing about the old oaken bucket
that hung In the well and even to
put the moss-covered bucket in a
museum with nostalgia label. It
is quite another thing to keep the
crystal spring at the bottom of the
well free from debris and contamina-
ton, so that the ancient bubbling
fountain may continue to offer its
refreshing, healing balm to those
now bearing the heat and burden of
the day.
Jesus meant just that when, in
words that sting and smart across
the centuries, he turned upon some
OF the leading citizens of His day,
on their way to national tombs with
their arms filled with flowers, and
declared: "You decorate the graves
of the prophets of old, yet your pres
ent attitudes prove that you are the
spiritual descendants Of those who
stoned the prophets. You decorate
their sepulchres while you desecrate
their principles"
AS in this crucial hour the sharp
ened arrow of our military might is
pulled on the taut string of ma
tional unity, may the remembered
yesterdays speak to us of strength
that is increased by its spending, of
life that Is saved by its losing, of
greatness that is measured by its
serving, OF faith which claims yes
terday, today and tomorrow, as it
sings with Whittier of the land OF
our love and prayer
Tried as by furnace fires, and yet
BY Gods grace only stronge
made;
In future tasks before thee set
Thou shalt not lack the old-time
aid"

Another Vermeer?

Good sometimes comes out of evil,
and the reported discovery of an
other picture by the great Dutch
painter Jan Vermeer conceivably
may be case in point. Even though
the story naturally is suspect, de-
irving as it does merely from the
opinion OF Walter Hofer, Hermann
Goering's so-called fine arts scout"
it is worth inquiring into. The
painting allegedly represents the
familiar theme of Christ's encounter
with the adultress and was cap
tured" in the erstwhile Reichs-
marshall's collection in that portion
of Germany occupied by American
troops.
According to the Associated Press,
Hofer said he would stake his repu-
tation" on the accuracy of his
appraisal and that the composition
would bring considerably more than
one million dollars" in the United
States. If less adventurous author
tiles confirmed the judgment thus
expressed, the whole world would
be the richer in terms of an added
masterpiece. The explanation is
sinnple-namely, that Vermeer was
one Of the greatest artists who ever
has lived and that the number of
works known or at least reasonably
believed to have been executed by
him is very small. It is part Of the
mystery surrounding his career that
during two centuries following his
death, aged forty-three, in 1875, his
works were sold under the names
of other painters, most notably De
Hooch and Ter Borch.
Yet Vermeer's pictures, however
disguised as to their origin, always
deservedly were popular among pro-
fessional critics skilled in apprepria-
ton as well as with the general
public. Though only forty-two-to
cite the most generous figure-of his
paintings exist, they are (or were
before the beginning of "this double
wary scattered from Vienna to
Washington. Five of the very finest

three Of them in the Mellon collec-

Postwar Merchant Shipping

from the London Times.
In the House Of Commons recently
the First Lord Of the Admiralty revealed
for the first time the precise magnitude
Of the immense effortS which have been
made by British shipbuilders since
1899 IN the construction Of both naval
and merchant vessels. Although work
for the Royal Navy has engaged some
IS per cent Of the facilities Of the ship
building industry, the mercantile ton
mage launched in the four years 1940-
1943 was 4,415,000, compared with 3,770,-
600 In the period 1915-1918, when there
were more yards and more men avail
able and no intensive attack from the
afr on both the places of work and the
homes Of the workers. Major war YES
sells with total tonnage of 1,183, 1901
were built between September, 1889,
and December, 1943, while a tremendous
work Of repair has been continuously
proceeding on both fighting and mer-
chant ships. The task presented to
Parliament and the spokesmen OF the
government was much more than to
point with these facts and figures the
debt owed to the builders Of ships and,
above all, to British seamen for the
salvation of this island. It was rather
to find and to formulate the fitting
recompense which these men and their
industries have earned. For after the
war, too, in the interest Of national
safety and prosperity the future of
shipbuilding must be assured. The total
merchant fleet under the British flag
will have been almost halved, while the
ocean-going mercantile marine of the
United States, which was perhaps two
nfths Of the British before the war,
VIII have trebled in size Both fleets,
British and American, will mainly con-
sist Of utility vessels built at great speed

The Communist Line

There have been indications that
the American Communists are pre-
pairing the ground for another re-
verSal of their party line This will
not be hard for them to do, for they
are totally lacking in integrity and
devoid of any sense of loyalty to the
United States.
This new about-face on the part
OF our domestic Communists is
foreshadowed in an attack on Earl
Browder, American Communist
leader, by the influential French
Communist, Jacques Duclos. The
latter says that BroWder has
"swerved dangerously from the vic
torious Marxist-Leninist doctrine" :"
This refers, presumably, to the crea-
ton of the Communist Political As
Sociation as a. substitute for the old
Communist party after the Ameri-
can Communists decided to support
this country's war against the Axis.
Mr.. BroWder, wheeling obediently
into line, says that the Duclos
statement demands our most re-
spectful consideration, which prob
ably means that our Communists
will soon be back in the old business
of throwing monkey wrenches.
BroWder, his fellow Communists,
and those who trail along in their
wake have had an interesting record
during the past decade. Before the
European war they were busily en-
gagged in stirring up trouble wher-
ever opportunity offered and in
worming their way into key spots in
American unions. Then came that
fascinating period-before Hitler at
tackled Russia-when they were
shouting from the housetops that
the war with Germany was an i'm
perialistic war, and that, despite the
efforts of the late President Roose-
velt and Wall Street to drag us into
it, "the Yanks were not coming"
When Hitler tore up the non
aggression pact with Stain and
marched into Russia, Browder and
his crew promptly changed their
tune. 1t ceased to be an imperialistic
war and became a struggle of the
common man against the darkest
forces of evil. The cry that the
Yanks were not coming gave way to
the shril complaint that they we're
not coming fast enough. Instead
of Communist-inspired strikes in
our war plants, the emphasis was
on more and more production, and
the record of the Communist con-
troled unions in this respect was
faWless.
But now the war in Europe is over.
There is no longer a Nazi menace,
and no further need for the unnat-
ural alliance with American cap
italism. So the Communists of the
Browder stamp are swinging back
to their old moorings.
In itself, this need cause no great
concern. Because of their influential
position in the American Labor
party, the Communists may stir up
some political trouble in States like
New York. And they will try, though
probably with little success, to drive
a wedge between the United States
and Britain, and they may attempt
later on to undermine the Truman
administration. But they will not
get far with this, for the American
people will know that they are work.
ing against, and not for, America.
If there is any really ominous i'm
plication in this latest Communist
stirring, it lies in the extent, if any,
to which it may have been directed
from Moscow. That is something
which cannot be determined now,
but which will be revealed by future
