A QUESTION which is con-
stantly with us and for which
seem never to find an answer
is this-"did we enter the great
war to save democracy and to
insure individual freedom only
to find that, after victory, we
are faced with just as great
threat ?"T The majority of our peo-
pie are disillus-
Not The Toned. The peace
Peace We which they
Prayed For prayed for is
not with us.
The war is over but there is no
peace. We don't even have
peace in our own country. AS
a matter of fact it is possible
that we have right within our
borders the making of the
greatest period of unrest this
great country has witnessed
since the Civil War. There is
more in the big 8 rikes than the
mere refusal Of thousands of
men to work or he refusal of
the companies involved to grant
the demands.
In the world there is absence
from major wars but peace just
does not exist. Our proven
strength as a mighty military
power is waning with the fast
moving rehabilitation. Our
position as world leader is
thrust upon us as result of the
showing of our military might.
We cannot escape the response
bility of leadership. Whether
or not our country made mis-
takes we are bound by today's
facts. We were
We Need the worlds out
Big Men, standing salese
Big Enough man who has
found himself
thrust into the presidents chair.
Whether we wanted it is beside
the point. The small countries
of the world look to us for lead
ership. They look upon US as
the only hope of a long era of
peace. History will probably
show that we are witnessing the
greatest crisis of human history.
We need big men. We need big
men who are big enough to cast
aside any selfish ambitions. We
need the kind of leaders who are
able to visualize today's sacri-
flee as tomorow's blessing. We
need a deeper consciousness. of
the new kind of world in which
we live. We don't need SO much
more education but we can GER
tainly do with a lot more horse
sense. 1t is not the college
graduate who will lead US out of
the present chaotic unrest - in
our country or in the world =
but it is the man who under
stands and feels the depth of
danger lurking in every symp-
tom of unrest. We need a deeper
sense Of religion.
This great country has the
right and the power and the re-
sponsibility to
We Need demand the kind
Deep Sense of peace for
OF Religion which we fought.
And, let US re-
member, that the kind of peace
for which we fought was the
kind which would insure free
dom from war and at the same
time give us period Of tran
guilty at home. The United
Nations Charter calls for an en-
forced peace. Nearly all the
nations Of the world have
agreed. We should have enforced
peace at home. We need laws
designed to prohibit either
lockouts or strikes which would
provide the means for settling
disputes on a basis Of justice
and fairness to those involved
and give some measure Of pro-
lection to the general public.
Unless we provide the leader
ship and find solutions to inter-
national problems we will stand
face to face with the awful
catastrophe Of atomic warfare.

While declaring that the tri-
partite talks already were under

Capital Expects Week
10 Produce Major
Developments in War
By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER,
Assoe.sfs d prass atsfS WYitn,

BY JOHN M. 6lGHTOWER,
Associated Presa sts6 writee
The Capital expects this week
will be one OF the most eventful
Of the war.
Three developments appear prob
able:
1. Conclusion OF the Roosevelt
Churchill-S Stain talks-accompanied
or closely followed by momentous
announcements Of military and Dip
lomatic decisions bearing on the end
of the wars In Europe and Asia and
the beginnings Of peace.
2. More definite information on
how long and tough the Nazi death
struggle probably will be. Develop
ment of Allied assaults along the
Oder River before Berlin, and along
the Siegfried Line in the west is
undergoing constant analysis by Al
lied military chiefs for any evidence
of fatal German weaknesses.
China Coast Lies Beyond.
3. The full conquest of Manila,
intended American base for break
ing the japanese empire in half and
also for building up forces for the
next great moves against Japan. Be-
yond Manila, except for possible in
vasion of secondary islands In the
Luzon area, lie the China coast ard
the japanese homeland.
About the big three" meeting
there is nothing ofncial on which
to base expectations. 1t is known
that Harry Hopkins and Secretary
of State Stettinius left Italy several
days ago for unannounced destina-
lions at the conclusion of what Mr..
Hopkins called an information tour
for the President preliminary to his
meeting with Churchill and Stain.
Also Mr.. Hopkins told reporters in
Europe that the meeting would very
likely be brief, which led to specula-
ton that 1t would be over before
many days passed. Numerous Euro
pean sources have speculated that 1t
Is going on.
Expect LOnE-Range Decisions.
The swift pace Of the war In Eu-
rope is believed to have brought to
the top Of the agenda various mill
tary questions connected with the
cooperation Of Russian and Anglo
American forces inside Germany, as
Stunning prolonged resistance there.
But the great decisions, believed to
an unprecedented new
role Of the United States in Eu-
ropes affairs, are expected to deal
with long-range international prob
lens.
Those who assume success for
efforts of the big three" to as
sure future cooperation predict
that out of the talks will come ma
chinery for Allied instead of lone
hand settlement of internal Eu-
ropean problems.
