The Path To Peace

that all is before September l. 1939-even if
want life to be what it was then.
We must begin the occupation of Japan for which
many and officers have been trained and we will
continue in the occupation of Germany. How long it
will be before the only Americans abroad will be tourists
and diplomats may be only guessed at That is factor
which will inhibit complete peace.
Our industry may well suffer some of the growing
pains which it suffered once before when began

located perhaps than and there may be a
period of unemployment Industry as we'll as govern
ment, has considered the problem of unemployment not
only from social consciousness but in the realization that
unemployed cannt buy the products of industry
Through war sterilization and wartime profit, in

postwar expansion and improvement War technology
has developed many products which will be useful
in peacetime living. Nevertheless all this will take
time-it won't occur overnight.

Things Are Tough
First Day of Peace
Brings Hunger to
FOOdLeSS Residents

Scores of Wyandotters learned
yesterday what Napoleon meant
when he made the statement about
an army travelling on its stomach,
as VI Day found them foodlesS
with stores and restaurants closed
for the holidays
A few grocery stores which elected
to stay open for few hours in the
early part of the day sold out their
stocks quickly. Line of hungry resi-
dents stood outside of the few res
taurants open waiting to be served
Reluctant proprietors were forced
to lock their doors literally in the
faces of customers as food supplies
ran out. Late-comers begged for
food-"any kind of food even
bread and milk"
Hungry motorists made the long
drive to Canadian cities for dinner
and pointrich housewives found the
first day Of peace worse than the
previous wartime shortages.

GREEKS COLD ON
TURK WAR ENTRY

ATHENS, Feb. 24.-(P>-Greens.
fearing that Turkeys declaration
of war against Germany may re-
suit in claims to at least some of
the Dodec anese Islands, took a
cold view today of the Turkish
entry into the conflict.
(Ankdra dispatches said that D e
of the most likely military results
of Turkeys declaration would be
Turkish assistance in cleaning lip
German-held islands in the Aegean,
including the Dodecanese, which
lie of the Turkish coast and were
Italian before the war. The re-
mainder of the island-dotted Ac-
gean' is largely Greek)
Greeks are convinced that the
new turn of events will cloud post
war territorial settlements in the
Aegean area, where Greece is IN
tent on holding her own against all
claimants.
There was no official comment
from the foreign ministry.
The usually well-informed news
paper AneXartisia quoted Turkish
quarters in Athens as saying that
Turkey would send a division to the
western front to symbolic her
participation in the Allied cause.

ty was expected. 1t brought no re-
