DEAR MR.. NOISE:
7 HAVE read your articles in
L the American Weekly on
Laws 10 Assure Dog Heroes
Welfare"
This article started me think
ing of what war dogs can ex-
pect to-find when they return 10
homes that aren't there after
their jobs are done.
Why can't fund be started
TO insure a place for these dogs
after the war? If we. the pee-
pie of America. let these dogs
come back 10 be destroyed by
viviSectors, WE ARE NOT DE-
SERVING OF THE NAME
AMERICANS.
1t is up to the people OF
America TO stand by these dogs
that have given their all to pro-
tect our men in service. / am
sure there are many people in
this country who would be will
ling 10 contribute something for
K-9 protection.
Lumber companies could con-
tribute lumber for kennels for
them and l am sure there are
returning soldiers who would be
willing to build them. Soldiers
who are not too handicapped
would enjoy doing this to show
their appreciation for these
noble animals. II would also
help the veterans TO overcome
their own ills received in this
war.
/ know, as I am a cripple, and
don't feel out of place when do
ing something for some one
else. My husband and I are
both very fond of animals and,
although l am lame, I have
taken care of IA dogs in a New
York apartment and we would
both be willing to care for some
of these returning animals if
they had the proper housing.
Your truly.

DEAR SIR:
CUNDAY I read the second
~ article by YOU regarding
viviSectionists.
You are putting -things-too
lightly. If such things are 60
ing on in the United States as
you describe, then il is time to
stop it. l can see no difference
in a fight against gangsterism
and fight against viviseetion-
lists.
l have written my congress-
man, asking him 10 support the
movement til. r. f9t1
The public has never realized
that anything like this was 60
ing on. 1t is shocking, and
most people can't believe.
It's up 10 you and the Chi
cago Herald-American TO wake
up America. Most of US will
back you till the job is done.
Respectfully,

DEAR Mr.. NOISE:
7 WISH TO congratulate and
L thank you for the splendid
campaign you are conducting
Your efforts TO have the hor-
ribly cruel practice OF vivisec-
ton stopped are highly COM
mendable and l am sure you
have the support of all right
thinking people.
The practice OF vivisection
could be understandable If II
were performed in Germany or
Japan. 1t is not the American
way.

unnecessary torture in the name
of science.
I hope and pray that Rep.

1t seems pity the way we
have to fight to have this tor

regardless of San Francisco,

Editorial Comment
HOW MUCH IS OWED?

Bernard M. Bsruch has suggested that Con-
gress call for national financial stocktaking
as the first step toward solving the country S
economic problems.
Mr.. Baruch feels the inventory should an
swer these questions:
What are the present debts? What does the
public hold in bonds, and what is owed to
others? How much further do we have to
60 in debt to pay for war contracts? How
much will we have to raise for Breton Woods,
the international monetary plan, UNRRA, the
United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation ad-
n1inistration, and foreign loans Of every type?
This Is the logical procedure for anyone liv-
ing beyond his income and having debts pill
ing up, and it is obvious Uncle Sam is doing
that.
Last week Congress Gu taxes by an estinat-
ed $500, 600, 900, but here in the Victory loan
drive the country is going in debt twice as
much. Certainly that kind of financing can

The social ownership he proposes must' says
Mr.. Reuther, "be absolutely democrSuc IN
character" We doubt that even the author OF
that statement knows precisely what it means.
The unabridged dictionary definition OF democ-
racy has nothing to say about economies
Social (meaning government) ownership Is an
economic technique, and its character Is
the same under constitutional monarchy or
dictatorship Of the proletariat"
Mr.. Reuther misconceives the intent OF the
arrangement Conference, which had been
proposed but apparently had not met when
he wrote his piece. He speaks of industry and
government "ganging up on labor, though
President Truman made it clear to both parties

and the government would not be an active
participant
In this connection the author speaks OF the
antiquated theory that government can per-
suade labor and capital to join hands and work
like brothers for the common good" That
theory may seem reasonable to Mr.. Reuther
and to some men in industry. But lot Of us
reactionaries think it would be {. fine idea if
somebody could do that job of persuading

Tragic Delay

There appeared on this page yesterday (
letter from a correspondent calling attention
to the dire poverty of negro family-a mother
and seven children existing Chow, heaven only
knows) in single room with no heat and glass.
less windows. deserted by the husband and
father The heart must be stone indeed that
failed to beat sadly that in this land Of plenty
family could be reduced to such penury.
What draws our particular attention is the
writer's reference to his appeal to the welfare
office and his assertion that he was told al
least two months must elapse before relief
could be forthcoming from that organization
as birth certificates of all the children must
first be secured.
If this is an essential part Of the Welfare
departments duties it is probable that relief
will never be given as the birth of Negro child
rem is not always registered. There may be
no certificates for some OF these. But aside
from that, and aside from regulations which
probably originate with a higher authority,
it is inconceivable that help In the form OF
clothing, food and heat cannot be had within
such long time.
The law is famous for delays. Naturally
there must be some system in the investiga-
ton of applicants for relief. But certainly a
hungry child ought to be fed, shivering
body ought to be clothed regardless of the
records at the court house. Even the lowliest
family deserves that much mercy.
There was famous mission on the Bowery
in New York conducted by simple man VINO
practiced Christianity by taking care of dere.
licts' bodily needs first, and inquiring into
his past after the stomach was filled What
ever rules govern the Welfare department. the
bodily needs OF the INDECENT poor ought to
be met whether birth certificate exists
or not.

to tell me that since his stroke
he has had increasing fellowship
with God. my Heavenly Father is
very near me, and he answers my
prayers even about little things"
Thereupon the aged saint related
a succession of recent incidents of
definite answers to prayer, such as
this: Last Sunday I was perplexed
about how to get to church. My
daughter is Presbyterian and
wants to 60 to her own church. But
I am lifelong Methodist, an or

I want to be with my own people.
l could not go alone, so put it up
to the Lord to show me what to do.
"While was yet praying there

Methodist girl who had stopped to
ask if she might take lie to our

answers my prayers" And a glow

Two Poisonous Religions


to the shrine Of his ancestors. General Mac
Arthur has ruled out all such journeys by
public officials along with state support OF
Shinto, its instruction in schools, government
maintenance Of its shrines, and all other
activities smacking Of religious nationalism
or compulsory adherence.
shinto, the primitive religion Of Japan,
Hourished without a serious rival until the
Seventh Century, when Buddhism became
firmly established. But as the centuries rolled
on, the Buddhist priesthood threw its weight
around more and more in state affairs. At
series OF ups and downs, Buddhism ceased
to be temporal force in 1858, when the 30
called Restoration brought in Shinto as the
state religion.
About that same time the new German en-
pire, under Bismarck's leadership, was start
ing to get illusions of national and racial gran
deur such as state Shinto taught. At the first
German doctrine had no religious connection
But it picked it up as it went along. o.
Under Nazism, this doctrine resembled
Shinto quite remarkably in its NEUROLOGICAL
scriptures its belief in racial superiority
and divine mission, and its complete disavowal
of the milder virtues which characterize most
of the worlds religions.
Now the military authorities in Japan and
Germany are engaged in the tremendous task
Of trying to purge these war-breeding beliefs
from the minds of our recent enemies. How
well they succeed may have considerable
effect upon the future tranquility Of the world.
In both Germany and Japan these ultra
nationalistic and militaristic creeds were
superimposed on q nominal freedom OF re-
ligious choice, though as the war progressed
that freedom seems to have been honored more
in the breach than in the observance. Now the
question is, how badly tainted are those minds
which have now regained a real freedom of
religion divorced from state?
State Shinto was {. calculated governmental
development Of a personal religion which a
multitude Of Japs apparently profess and
which has not been banned. To them the whole
structure Of Shinto, however altered and per-
verified it may have become with the passing
of time, still must be the vehicle Of an instinc-
tive, tradition-steeped reverence and worship.
Nazism, on the other hand, was the final
Towering of a doctrine whose appeal was
largely mental, and which had to be sold by
a warped philosophy. Yet nazisn, by closing
young German minds to all outside influence,
developed thousands of fanaticsl followers
whose faith today seems mistaken in spite OF
nazisn's defeat and the death or disgrace OF
its principal philosophers.
Which nation will be the first to recover
from its mental poisoning? The answer may
not be forthcoming in the lifetime Of most OF
us. But the antidote will have to be administered
steadily patiently and wisely for long time,
beginning now.
