President Proclaims
Day OF Prayer

The Allied armies, through sacrifice and devotion
and with Gods help, have Wrung from Germany final
and unconditional surrender The Western World has
been freed of the evil forces which for five years and
longer have imprisoned the bodies and broken the lives
of millions upon millions of free-born They have
violated their churches destroyed their homes corrupted
their children and murdered their loved Our armies
of liberation have restored freedom to these suffering
peoples whose spirit and will the oppressors could
enSlave.
Much remains to be done. The victory won in the
West must now be in the East. The whole world
must be cleansed of the evil from which half the world
has been freed. United the peace-loving nations have
demonstrated in the West that their stronger
by far than the might of the dctaorS the tyranny of
military cqueS that once called us soft and weak.
The power of peoples to defend themselves
against all enemies will be proved in the Pacific
it has been proved in Europe.
For the triumph of spirit and of arms which have
and for its promise to people everywhere who join
in the love of freedom it is fitting that nation
give thanks to Almighty God, who has strengthened
and given us the victory.
Now therefore l, Harry S. Truman President of the
United States of America, do hereby appoint Sunday,
May Is, 1915, to be day of prayer
call upon the people of the United States whatever
their faith unite offering joyful thanks to God for
the victory have and to pray that He will sup
port to the end of present struggle and guide
into the way of peace.
also call upon my cOuntrymen to dedicate the day
of prayer to the memory of those who have given their
lives to make possible victory.
In witness whereof have hereunto set my hand and
caused the Seal of the United States of America to be
affixed.

ton 1t had been an excellent show
all the way and Mr. Berlin was on
stage doing his part of the show,
singing songs from his laSt-war'S
album, and having the thousands of
men present sing with him. It's
surprising to recall how that ire
mendous crowd of men entered into
the singing, each man singing as
though he was alone, auditioning
before Mr. Berlin himself. The sound
of those thousands of voices was
something that couldn't possibly be
described, it has to be heard to be
appreciated All of a sudden we
saw the red flares go up from the
signal tower and at the same time
all the lights blinked out as the
sirens walled the red alert Air
Raid! Right in the middle of the
most interesting, the only show that
we had seen for over a year too.
The command to keep our seats
came over the public address system
almost at the same time that the
lights went out and as we sat there
wondering if it was really a raid
or just practice, we got a pretty
good idea of the feelings of the men
here Most of lis had never been
under attack, yet about the only
feeling that we could experience or
hear being expressed was one Of
being annoyed at having the show
interrupted. Everyone had perfect
control of themselves, never once
incoming or thinking of making
break for cover, probably not even
thinking of themselves at all. Mr..
Berlin's voice came over the speaker
in the darkness, attempting to carry
on his part of the show with the re-
mark, I'VE have played in the dark
before and we will now = if neces-
sary." Luckily, that wasn't neces-
sary. The raid was either practice
or was chased off before they got
this far, and the show carried On.

ing incident I suppose, they had

The Test Is Coming

Before the blessed day when Johnny
comes marching home again" in force from
the battlefieldS, it might be well for all of
us to remember that whole generation has
grown up aware of two depression,

Within that generation are the boys who
have been fighting for us. Since 1929
state of emergency has been our normal
mode of life, and always the idea of Secur
ity has been planted in the larger idea of
a great central state, with government
spending compromising for the weaknesses
of human nature.
There is something alluring about that
idea. 1t makes work an outdated concept
it makes wishing its own reason for hav-
ing 1t makes mediocrity the general stand
ard, and initiative high crime in the eyes
of those who lack it.
But, like too many alluring ideas, too
many dreams, it collides with reality and it
smashes headlong into the fundamental
principles, upon which this land these boys
have been fighting for, was made great.
These young veterans of the depression
and war years must learn that private en-
terprise, and only private enterprise, can
make real prosperity. The test of our system
will come with the wars end.

Toward One World

An important decision has Just been
handed down by Justice William H. Murray
Of the Supreme Court of the State of New
York 1t holds that a newspaper has right
to edit or reject in good faith advertising
copy submitted for publication. The New
York Times had been sued by a summer
camp for refusing to print the words Sc
lected clientele" in the camps advertising
and the Judge held that the use of the
phrase was cloak" and IAN indirect means
to hide discrimination" and that a news
paper cannot be compelled to accept ad-
vertiSing which it considers discriminatory.
The Judge is to be commended for his wis
dom; the New York Times for its intelligent
stand. 1t is no secret that selected" Glen
tele, like discriminating" or exclusive"
clientele, means that the guests are selected,
not on the basis of character or achieve
mentS, or even of desirable social qualities.
but on the basis of race or creed. 1t means
that they will be, in the words of Adolf
Hitler, all "Aryans." 1t is as out of place
in this country as the goose-step and the
torture chamber
From now on, thanks to this decision. no
newspaper in New York State at least, need
publish this sort of thing if it does not
want to-
