DIVINE ART OF
LIVING

How is it possible for men to
fight from morning until even
ing, killing each other, shedding
the blood of their fellowmen:
And for what object? To gain
possession of part of the earth!
Even the animals, when they
fight, have an immediate and
more reasonable cause for their
attacks! How terrible it is that
men, who are of the higher king
dom, can descend to Staying and
bringing misery to their fellow
beings, for the possession Of a
tract of landl
The highest of created beings
fighting to obtain the lowest form
of matter, each! Land belongs
not to one people, but to all peo-
pie. This earth is not mans
home, but his tomb. 1t is for
their tombs these men are fight
ing. There is nothing SO horrible
in this world as the tomb, the
abode of the decaying bodies of
men.

Food Order No
Longer Necessary

Chicago, Sept. determination of
War Food Order 50, which restricted
use of 19 kinds of fruits and berries
in the manufacture of alcoholic prod
ucts, was announced today by the
United States Department of Agri-
culture as effective August 25.
The purpose of the Order was to
assist in meeting military and civilian
requirements for fresh, dried, and
processed fruit and berries. Under it's
terms, fruits and berries could not be
used for production of alcoholic prod
ucts except under certain conditions
and special authorization. Reductions
in military requirements following
the end Of the war with Japan have
made the Order no longer necessary.

LABOR DAY GREETINGS
BY HENRY A WALLACE
Secretary of Commerce

Labor Day of 1916 holds double
significance: It marks the triumphant
completion of the greatest production
task in the worlds history and it
finds the labor movement sharing
with every other part of our popula-
tion the challenge of shaping and pre-
serving the peace that we have won.
The entire nation takes occasion
this Labor Day to honor the men and
women whose work on the industrial
front produced the ships and planes
and munitions without which this war
could not have been won. The tribute
will be rightly deserved, for it has
been hard won.
AS it accepts this honor, however,
l know that labor will not forget that
victory in itself was not the final goal.
We sought the victory so that we
could go on and build a peace that
would not fail, a peace of Justice and
security and freedom.

DEMOCRACY AT HOME
BY Ruth TAYLOR

/
The other day in one of the papters
there was letter which struck me so
forcibly that could not see anything
on the page but one paragraph. DR..
Embree of the Julius Rosenwald Fund
had written: at is fine we are insist
ing on equality and decency in human
relations in Germany. But does Amer
lea regard democracy as only an ex-
port commodity? Is it too precious to
| use at home 2"
Is Democracy only for export? Is it
only something we preach to others,
not thing in which we believe enough
to practice it in our daily life?
We say we believe in equality of
opportunity. We say we believe in fair
and equal treatment for all. We say
Americans are Americans first, re-
gardless of their country or origin,
their religious faith or their previous
condition of servitude-that as long as
they are true to America they are our
brothers. But is this merely lip SER
vice?
Those who bewail imperialism, and
forget the man in the next block; those
who spend their sympathy on famine
ridden India and overlook the needs of
our own starving; those who talk about
the tyrannies of intolerant Europe
and then blackball neighbor because
he doesn't go to the same church-are
all false friends Of Democracy. They
are doing disservice to America.
When we do not do our duty toward
our fellow citizens, we are exporting
all our Democracy.
We say that universal brotherhood
is the democratic ideal toward which
we are striving. Yet, if we follow pure
ly egotistic and materialistic aims, we
are sure to be disappointed. If we ig-
more the good of our neighbor, we shall
cheat ourselves as we'll. If we put eco
nomic above spiritual values, we de-
stroy the thing that made us great
as nation.
Edwin Markham, that great poet
who loved America and all it's people,
wrote, nearly half a century ago: "By
the divine paradox, wherever there is
one slave, there are two. So in the
wonderful reciprocities of being, we
can never reach the higher levels un-
til all our fellows ascend with us. There
is no true liberty for the individual
except as he finds it in the liberty of
all. There is not true security for the
individual except as he finds it in the
security Of all"
No, our Democracy is not just an
export commodity. We will prove to
the world that it is the vital force in
our lives, that we are our brothers
keepers at home as well as abroad.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1945-09-07

being new, instead of against the
background of "the good old days.
Ability to look forward will be q
real asset--a valuable thing to have
around
Men who can look only backward will
be under handicap.
Look backward only for basic prin-
ciples and for experiences that can be
used in the job of looking ahead.
That means looking backward only
for glance now and then, not all the
time.
Then there is something else about
looking ahead. We must try to look
further ahead than ever before. For a
good reason.
When you are walking you don't
have to look very far ahead. Maybe
only few steps.
When you are driving an automobile
you must look further ahead-and the
faster you drive the further ahead you
must look.
Human progress in almost every
thing used to be slow. But it has gain
ed speed right along, until now the
speed is high. It will be higher.
1t takes less time to get to where
something is going to happen, in the
way of change, just as it takes less
time to get to curve, or crossing,
when you are going 60 miles an hour
than it does when you are going 25.
Union officials and union members,
as well, must learn to keep looking
farther and farther ahead all the time,
or trying to, at any rate.
That means that we must all KNOW
more about as many important matters
as is possible.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1945-09-07

What are unions going to do from
here on?
The future will be unlike the past
in a great many ways.
Some ways will be the same-that
is, men will have to sit down and talk
things over; some men will be cranky
or stubborn, others will be reasonable
But the things will be different in
many cases-the tools, the output, the
object of the whole thing.
We can look, perhaps, for some new
laws, for some new human machinery
in government and out.
We can look, with reasonable as
surance, for new methods of getting
collective bargaining done. Maybe we
will like those ways, maybe not.
We can look for substitutions than
may mean new jurisdictional problems.
Plastics, for example Synthetics.
Glass, of many kinds.
And such things as extended use of
line production, maybe in houses.
Such things as pliofllm- and better
and more methods of preserving foods.
Perhaps what unions will need most
is ELASTIC in the mind. That boils
down to willingness and readiness
to accept new things, new ways, new
situations and to measure them as

of the world.
In everything - EVERYTHING =
unions are going to be strong and i'm
portant.
The more union membership knows,
the better will it take care Of itself
and the better will it serve the nation.
Sending union leaders to college is
a sound thing, even if its does no more
than help them learn how to think.
It is too bad every member cannot

sponsibilities and it should be filled

with equally important and pleasant
rewards.
But if we mishandle the response
bilities, there will be NO rewards.
And if we do too badly the whole
world can go blash and blooey! It
mustn't. 't.--CMW.

Even though hostilities have ceased,
family allowances will continue to be
paid for an indefinite period to eligible
dependents Of Army men and women

the customary ODB procedure.
This was stated today by Brig. Gen.

tor of the War Department Office of

AS soldiers leave the service, how
ever, the benefits are discontinued, he
emphasized. Eligibility ceases at the
