Ierrible Price Paid For Peace Says Priest
Rev. Richord C. Phillips Calls Recent
 Wor Most Terrible in History; Spiritual Weapons of Prayer, Charity Advocated

aOf course we have paid a terrible price for peaceD stated Rev. Rich- ard Q. Phillips, assistant at the Church of the Immaculate Concep- tinn; in bis sermon Sunday morning entitled Blessed are the Peace makers, for they shall be called the @ Father Phillips said in part: 'Of A,l the blessings of God to men Of eood will. peace is the greatest. It Is the fruit of justice and holiness of life. It is the natural heritage of those who keep the order that God established in this world. God had ordained that there should ever be peace in His world. But man, because he was free, had within his command the power to wrest from himself and his fellowmen this most beautiful of Gods blessings peace. And sirice that day in Eden, when Adam by eating the one forbidden truit of God, destroyed that order, taking away peace and making man an enemy of God.
 Adam declared war on God and ir. that instant peace was snatched nway or extinguished as completely as lighted candle blown out by a violent wind. And from that day to this, the greatest of Gods heroes have been men who tried to win back peace between God and man, peace between their fellowmen. It is the work of selfish and narrow hearted men to destroy that order that God created. It is so easy to i. destroy, that it is the work of weak ings, but to rebuild, to put back into the world a semblance of the order that God decreed. that is the work

Cancelled War Orders
 Surpass $3 Billions
NotionoI Manufacturers Worn TotoI Represents Pert of Operating Funds of Industry Which Moy Be Tied Up Six Months or More
Months or More

New York, Aug. 21-The total amount of private funds actually tied up by government cancella- tions of war orders will amount to about 3 billions, according to an estimate made public today by the National Association of Manufac- turers.
 The NAM released it's figures aft CT the Office of War Mobilization and Reconversion had given the total V-J cancellation figure to end the war as about 30 billions, plus a hold-over of IA billions from VIE.
 The association, which has had a special committee and an advis- ory group working with the gov- ernment for the streamlining Of war contract termination for more than 8 year, emphasized that this total cancellation figure of A bil- lions may be misleading. It repre- sents only gross cancellations on the order book.
 What really counts, according to NAM, is the net amount of money tied up in partly completed work and actually out-of pocket expend- itures. That is the only amount which may be reclaimed from the government; and, according to NAM, it is a figure of the order of billions.
 It is important to note, however, NAM warns, that this s billions replions represents part of the op- erating funds of industry which may be tied up an average of six months, according to war settlement experi- ence to date.
 It might have a retarding influ- ence on the financial reconversion of industry as distinguished from the physical reconversion which lies in the hands of industry itself.
 The problem is complicated by the fact that this 8 billions will be owed by the government to some 10000 prime contracors and 2,000.- GOO subcontractors who were em- ploying some 100000 persons on war goods and services on V-J Day.
 Assuming that g billions of the tied-up sum would normally go for labor when released, it would serve to pay the wages of this enire war workers force for two months.
 NAM therefore warns of the im- portance of having sufficient gov- ernment personnel in the offices of contract settlement to speed up the rate of payment; and also an increase in the streamlining of the numerous bank loans which will be needed to unfreeze the bulk of this amount while private enterprise is waiting on the government settle ment.
