Doy Of Prayer

The American people always have
believed in prayer. Both in Virginia
and in New England, the early set
tiers from England were church.
goers, but they likewise practiced a
regular habit of household devotions
which their descendants maintained
until we'll within the memory of
living generations.
Against such background of his
tory, President Truman'S proclama-
ton of Sunday, May 13, 1945, as a
day Of prayer for the entire Nation
needs no explanation. The fact
that the date comedies with that
upon which sons and daughters of
every age pay homage to their
mothers merely serves to add to the
significance of the occasion. A null
titude in every city, the Capital in
cluded, will be glad to unite lin
offering joyful thanks to God for
the victory we have won and to pray
that He will support us to the end
of our present struggle and guide
us into the way of peace" The
Chief Executive and Commander in
Chief stipulates that this day OF
prayer" is dedicated ito the memory
of those who have given their lives"
in order that triumph in Europe and
in the Orient may be achieved. He
stresses the victory of the spirit as
well as that of arms. The "evil
forces" of Germany have been de-
feated and those of Japan will be
beaten not solely by the use of
physical instruments and technlques
of conflict 1t is common knowledge
to mankind at large that the cause
of the United States and its Allies
was and still is righteous cause.
But success must be deserved in
this as in other endeavors. The
President has said: 1--WE can repay
the debt which we owe to our God,
to our dead and to our children only
by work-by ceaseless devotion to
the responsibilities which lie ahead
of us" Tomorrow, then, the toll
which is imperative if the Pacific
phase of the long global struggle is
to be finished promptly and without
too great expenditure of human
lives and wealth must be resumed.
Mr.. Truman has called upon every
American to stick to his post until
the last battle is won." If the whole
people as a single, united group
"carry on with sincere self-dedi-
cation, the peace of justice and
brotherhood for which thousands of
mothers sons have been sacrificed
will be attained the sooner and with
the minimum cost in blood and
tears

each other by land. while japanese
sea communications have become
hazardous and uncertain. The ports
can thus be attacked. isolated and
conquered piecemeal. Once in con-
troll, contact will be immediate with
the free hinterland and large guer-
rilla forces there can be armed and
mobilized for more effective pressure
on the central corridor, in conjunc-
ton with heavy air forces operating
from the airfields which will soon be
established along the coast. All this
may be possible long before the full
redeployment of Allied ground forces
makes available sufficient manpower
for decisive invasions of either ia
pan itself or the vital centerS of
japanese occupation in China. 1t is
thus logical to anticipate that the
stretch of Chinese coast between the
mouth of the Yangtse and Canton
will become zone of Allied opera
tions within the relatively near
future.

End of the U-Bouts

AS the U-boats surface one by one
and move into ports of surrender,
they seem like something come back
from the distant past. Yet it is not
so long ago, actually, that they were
the greatest menace confronting the
United Nations. No weapon in the
Nazi arsenal was more powerful. At
one point, in the dark winter and
spring of 1912, they were sinking
Allied ships faster than we could
build requirements, and our supply
lines to Britain and Russia we're
close to being severed. Just as the
Kaiser did in the First World War,
Hitler banked heavily on them to
starve England into submission, to
cut off the outward flow of American
resources, and so to win victory in
Europe. The Kaiser's undersea raid
ers were deadly enough, but not
nearly so deadly as Hitler's. The
battle against them-the Battle of
the Atlantic-will almost surely be
recorded as one of the most decisive
in history. Had we lost it, Germany
today would not be a defeated ma
ton. The fact that we won it, the
fact that Anglo-American air and
sea power finally evolved techniques
that destroyed well over 500 of these
killers, is one of the most impor-
tant single reasons why Nazidom has
been totally crushed. Before they
were finally overcome, the U-boats,

The bravest battle that ever was fought:
Shall tell you where and when?
On the maps of the world you will find
it not;
1t was fought by the mothers of men.
Nay, not with the cannon or battle shot,
With sword or nobler pen;
Nay not with eloquent word or thought.
From the mouths of wonderful men.
But deep in walled-up womans heart
OF woman that would not yield,
But patiently, silently bore her part
Lo! there in that battlefield.
No marshaling troop, no bivouac song:
No banner to gleam and wave:
And oh! these battles they last 50

From babyhood to the grave!
Yet. faithful still as bridge of stars.
She fights in her walled-up town
Fights on and on in the endless wars.

China Coast Strategy

The all-out attack on the Japa-
nese enemy made possible for the
first time by the end of the war in
Europe logically envisions not merely
the japanese homeland but every
part of the far-aung empire gained
by the sword. Part of that complex
task will undoubtedly be the oustlng
of japanese forces from China.
Eventually, much of the job will be
done by the Chinese themselves.
But Chinese armies can hardly play
a major role until they have been
re-equipped from Allied sources, and
that can never be done on major
scale over the land routes from India
and Burma. The full tide of Allied
aid can enter China only by sea at
various points on China's extensive
coastline.
At present Japan occupies the en-
tire coastal frontage of China. But
that occupation varies greatly in ef-
fectiveness and depth. The north
ern half of Eastern China is so COM
pletely dominated by Japan to
great depth inland that no Allied
landings are feasible there now or
presumably in the near future. South
of the Yangtse. however, the picture
changes. The japanese controlled
coastal belt rapidly narrows to
mere ribbon behind which lies belt
of tangled. primitive hill country
averaging fully 200 miles broad
which the japanese have never been
able to subdue. West of this free
belt lies the key japanese commu-
nications corridor with the main
rail and trunk lines running south
ward from the middle Yangtse to
Canton and Indo-China. Westward
of that corridor, again, lies the land
locked block of territory controlled
by the Chungking central govern
ment and precariously supplied from
abroad by the Burma road.
In view of heavy japanese troop
concentrations along that corridor,
immediate Allied strokes at its key
ports of Canton or Northern Indo-
China are probably impracticable.
But the isolated ports up the coast
from Canton are a different story.
Our recovery of the Philippines and
our almost completed conquest of
Okinawa in the Ryukyu Island chain
provide us with bases from which
landings on the China coast are
feasible. For instance, it is less than
400 miles from Okinawa to the near
est Chinese port of Wenchow and
but little further to Foochow. Those
and other ports cannot reinforce

Train Whistles

There are number of things that
weld the vast sprawling regions of
this country into one Nation. Among
them one accords the whistles of
trains high place There is some
thing about the long, lonesome
sounding wall at night that dis
tinguishes it from other sounds.
Train whistles echo back and forth
among the granite-ledged hills of
the Northeast as the putting engines
twist along the winding river val
leys. They send their echoes
through the pine lands of the South;
the sound rolls across the fiat, rich
fields of the Middle West and re-
verberates among the craggy passes
of the Cascades.
Out in the country the farmers
and townsfolks listen for the whistle
of the 5:15 at Smiths Crossing, half
a mile from the village depot. The
country man pulls out his watch and
says: Number Fights six minutes
late, but she can make it up on the
straight run into Centerville." Farm
lads pull up their teams or sit on
the tractor seat and watch the
cross-country flyer come speeding
across the prairie. There is the long
"whooo- -whoo who who" as the en-
gineer blows for the Four Corners
a mile ahead. And he always waves
to the boy in the field beside the
tracks.
In past decades untold numbers
of lads have lain in their beds in
farmhouses and listened to the train
whistles that carried so distinctly in
the damp air of night. In that call
that came from a lighted train rush
ing through the darkness to a dis
tant city they have heard the call of
life's adventure. Some day they,
too, would be on that train, and the
whistle would be a challenge,
clarion call to young man seeking
fame and fortune.

Mothers Day. d Day of Prayer
By the Req. H. w. Burgan, D. D.,
Minister OF Hamline Methodist Church.

international cooperation in the So
luton of economic, social and other
humanitarian problems, as set forth
in the Dumbarton Oaks proposals, we
must make the family life of America
really Christian. We must learn to
work and pray for the whole world,
and make it our business to desire the
blessings of good food, good schools,
good churches, good opportunities for
all peoples everywhere. 1t will test
our religion almost to the breaking
point to think in these terms, but
the American family must have a
world outlook, or there will be world
chaos. No other choice is possible for
just and durable peace in a world
where there is one God, one Christ,
and one blood flows through all hu-
man veins.
To bring this to pass in our Ameri-
can life during these remaining days
OF war struggle President Truman de-
clared this Sunday a national DAY of
Prayer" calling upon our country
men to dedicate this day to the men,
ory of those who have given their
lives to make possible our victory.
In the words of our President we
must work, work, work"
The people of these United States
must also pray, pray, pray. We must
work to finish this war, to bind up the
wounds of suffering world, and to
build an abiding place rooted in JUS
tice and in law.
But the will thus to work and pray
is guaranteed only through a revival
OF spiritual religion throughout the
Nation. Religious experiences must
be developed through home and COM
munity living as we'll as through the
teachings of the. church school and
the corporate worship in the church.
The Kingdom of God must have
priority. The great affirmation of
Jesus-the brotherhood of man, the
supremacy of love, and the reign of
the Prince of Peace-must be made
beliefs vital to mankind if "Old
Glory" is to be perpetuated among
the nations, and civilization is to sur
v1ve. The kingdom of God must
come first in our own hearts, and
then through the whole wide world.

Today is Mothers Day. 1t also
brings to close the observance of
National Family Week in Christian
Churches" Furthermore, on Tuesday
President Truman proclaimed this
Sunday a national DAY of Prayer"
and urged the people "to unite in
Offering joyful thanks to God for the
victory we have won and to pray that
He will support us to the end of our
present struggle and guide us into the
way of peace" Mother, the family
and the Nation-these are the en-
phases for today.
In this holocaust of war none has
suffered more than the mothers of
the world. The Evening Star stated
on last Monday that it was estimated
that this second great war had cost
close to one trillion dollars. The
number of teardrops, which have
fallen from the eyes of mothers on
account of this war will match in
number that enormous sum of money.
Heaven has been bombarded with
their prayers as they lifted their
soldier and sailor sons in petitions
to the throne of God. The mother
heart knows no nationality. On this
this national day of prayer for the
sake of brave mothers everywhere
all people in fair America must pour
out their hearts in prayer that the
San Francisco Conference may sue
ceed in creating general interna-
tional organization to maintain per-
manent peace and security.

If we want peace, lasting peace,
peace must be taught, however, at the
family fireside. In recognition of this
truth, National Family Week in
Christian Churches" was created.
The family is a social and religious
instrument for seeing and interpret
ing life. Whichever direction it looks
there are horizons. The family has
the power to keep these horizons very
short, or to expand them until the far
reaches of the earth become its hori-
IONS. The war has compelled us to
broaden our views. When our boys
return from all corners of the globe
they always will think of this as one
world. If we are to develop friendly
relations among nations, and achieve

sands of American and Allied sea-
men. Their depredations are at an
end now, but it is we'll to remember
that they once came near to achiev-
ing what Hitler had hoped. And
remembering that, we shall be wise
to make sure that Germany never
again will be able to cut loose
against us with such a weapon.

level and that is the level at which cor
respondents gnash their teeth, but as
rule do nothing else. Not only the news
paper correspondents, but some of the
PROS have resented the necessity of
complicating what seemed to them to be
strictly military news with political dis
cussions. Yet the supreme commander,
Gen. Eisenhower, must function as a
statesman, as well as general. His job
has by no means been confined to mill
tary matters.
The mixture of free journalism with
the military business of running a war
is not a natural one and is highly explo-
sive. That there have not been more
troubles is, aside from the fact that
the war correspondents are patriotic
and intelligent men, due largely to Gen.
Eisenhower's wisdom and the confidence
in which he is held by the correspond
ents in general. Capt. Harry Butcher,
U. S. N. R., his aide, has been another
helpful influence. His easy manner, his
access to the supreme commander, his
shrewd knowledge of public relations,

threatened eruption. Gen. Allen has

Robert H. Jackson said today that
the United States expects to be

Russia, Britain and France were
behind in their preparations which
might cause further delay and pos

scrupulously to avoid giving any
impression that lack of coopera-
ton by any of the other powers
caused the delay. But his 'disap-
pointment with the slowness of
preparations for the International
Trials was evident.
1.-The United States expects to
be ready to 60 to trial by No

in the office of the Palace of
Justice where. the trials will be
held. ''But I cannot speak for the
