A Thought for Today
Death, Truth And Atonement

The hated Dr. Robert Ley, Naz perSecutor of the Jews p Germany discovered the asty of his cruel doctrine of pace hatred in his dying hours. His acknowledgement of he truth probably the nobest act of otherwise g noble life His suffering victims will probably with greater generosity grant him credit for attempt to atone bOr his cruelty and error.
 He confessed to violation of the basic commandment of Gods creation and admitted that he and his Naz caeS had forsaken God who the Pope recently said is "the god of all peoples"
 His belated acceptance of the doctrine of Hove thy neghbor" has dying sincerity which dfferentiaes from the hypocrisy of those who in daily life proclaim it in word and deny it in deed who profess for their own gain and dsprove their profession by their private acts
 It is all matterSr of race, creed and color Unless sincere there tolerance brothery love Those who hypoccay profess and shout and privately show their true intolerance innate enemies of the American creed of brohery love- Said Ley O tolerate the Jews IS not enough-we must open our hearts to them"
 That statement must have hard to Ley and his sincerity would be open to universal question it not the utterance of dying and apparently pentent man. Translated to American conditions is equally forceu as applied to all races coorS and creedS We must take people find them good bad, honest otherwise, moral or not kind selfish regardless of the origin beliefs of their parents This is America
 Jews Negroes, Japanese Americans and those of all other origins died in the uniform of these United States that Gods commandment of brothery love might endure It is mot enough to profess it. America must sincerely prac tce it. The dying words of the despSed Dr Ley words of truth, penance and atonement.

 walked on, beyond the spring beyond the COW pasture on the edge of Baltimore Pike now studded with very prim and proper houses, on out to Lownes Run and the open fields and woods where we used to hunt.
 There under ledge of the stream found the same spot where once we had caught mink. mink caught within II miles of Philadelphia. It is hard to believe but there one day in February, we found the bank of the stream literally chewed to pieces whre the mink, caught in our trap, had struggled but lost the battle. It was dead and frozen when we arrived.
 Today in the autumn sunshine, the bank of the stream was just the same except that now more than 30 years later it bore no scars of battle.
 Most of the time, however, we were not lucky enough to catch mink. We trapped skunk We shipped the skins to Funsten Brothers in St. Louis and one winter we managed to make $15. In those days it seemed like lot of money.
 I got so I could skin skunk before breakfast, and although used the cooks perfume to counteract the odor my mother, most patient woman, sometimes complained about 1t. never was quite sure whether it the perfume from the skunk or the cook she disliked most.
 Once, also, with the help of my fathers razor amputated the vital organs of skunk, put them in shaving soap box and thence behind the radiator in the classroom of unpopular English teacher It broke up all classes in that room for the day.
 The teachers name was Truman-as far know, no relation to the present incumbent of the White House.

U.S.N.K. VS. U.O.N. By Bill Cunningham

Joe Cainard, whove sailed more seas and steered more ships, than any admiral These the sorts of men the Navy needs and wants to keep. But they come ashore boiling and say Annapolis can have 1t. That up to now, has been what Annapolis wanted, or at least, is what the Annapolis type of mind wanted.
 When you pin the USNR down as to what its real grpeS you get some definite charges and lot of personal annoyances have tried to check the charge made by one able, disgusted and now dis charged lieutenant-commander that no USNR officer in this war was permitted at any time to command anything bigger more glamorous than LST. which was which was, in effect, a glorifed ferry boat.
 That means no USNR ever commanded de- stroyer, or anything bigger His charge was that Annapolis thus deliberately reserved both rank and glory for the hierarchy. For all I can find, that charge is correct If anybody disprove it I'll be glad to correct it. The charge is further made that USNR promotions stopped with commander. That isn't 100 per cent true but it's true enough to stand
 There's lot of this, but that's all the bad side. There is always, another. Those who defend Annapos-and I know USNR who defends 1t steadfastly-remind me that ship, when you start talking in terms of "a destroyer, bigger" is a tremendously expensive and valuable thing, that a lot of lives, and maybe even war can depend upon how it is handled nan emergency. A general might make mistake and lose part of his forces but if naval co makes one, he can lose all the property and every life under his command. Thus promotions high up must be carefully made. If lost, cannon can be rolled into place, but if fight ing ship goes down the loss may be irreparable
 But the Annapolis indoctrination" is what they really defend To the reservist it often appears only Annapolis stiffness snobbishness but nobody deny that there's strict discipline underneath. It's creed is that of The Light Brigade theirs not to question why 9" simply carry out the com mand, matter how crazy, hopeless 1t looks Sea fights on that, they say Annapolis bred officers have it. Reservsts might might not have.

GOODBYE TO SILK
Hartford Courant)

Among the minor disasters that have now caught up with unhappy Japan is the fact that she has probably lost her silk export trade to the United States, product that in prewar days represented about IA per cent of her total eX- ports. Displacement of silk by nylon seems inevitable For one thing, most nylon stockings will outwear silk stockings; women like them better, and the price of nylon is lower than the old price of raw silk. In prewar days the Japanese government subsidized silk pro- ducers and exporters in order to keep the price down. Japan wanted the silk sold even at loss in order to acquire dollar exchange. What Japan did with those dollars is now history.
 Even if silk does come back into general use, Japan will still have to meet the competition of China, Italy and Brazil. Before the war about 10 per cent of the raw silk coming to this country was produc- ed in China and per cent in Italy. Brazil is also now preparing to pro duce silk for export. From this it would seem that unless the Japa- nese devise a great many new gadgets that will supplement the toys and novelties that in prewar days caused the label made in Japan to be regarded as a synonym for gimcracks, her eco- homie status will be far lower than ever before.
