The Strong and the Weak

We may deplore, if we choose" said Prime Minister Churchill to the House of Commons, "that there is a difference between the great and small, between the strong and weak in the world. There is undoubtedly such difference .."
 Mir. Churchill was speaking in defense of the voting procedure agreed to at Yalta. And he was referring, of course, to great and small nations. No one will deny his broad and obvious statement, but it could do with some expansion and clarification.
 Does Mr. Churchill grant that great ness and strength carry responsibility as well as power? Does he feel that a mo nopoly of greatness and strength implies monopoly of wisdom? Does he believe that smallness and weakness have no right to equal justice, dignity and con- sideration with the great and strong?
 We trust that the answer is yes to the first question, and no to the others. We trust that President Roosevelt and Mar shal Stalin feel the same way. And we shall look forward to seeing their senti- ments proved in action at the San Fran cisco conference.

Sumxitis

A living language, we suppose, must change and develop to remain healthy. But we've noticed a couple of recent threatening trends in the American branch of the English language which, while perhaps healthy, do little to beau tify, simplify or enrich our native speech.
 The wartime vogue for -ee suffixes, like dischargee and returnee, has already been noted and deplored. Now comes a radio announcer talking about the "standers-by" at some function, followed the next day by a newspaper story about the "lookers-on" expected at the San Francisco conference.
 We can't figure why the ancient and prevalent custom of prefixing preposi- tions to nouns Ca heritage of English's Latin and Saxon ancestors) is now being reversed, with such tortured results Perhaps someone felt the need for dis tinguishing the bypaSsers of General Patton's Third Army from the ordinary passersby, and the idea spread from there.
 We've always found passersby awkward and uncomfortable, and have usually managed to bypass the word. We don't like standers-by or lookers-on any better. And we hope that the would-be lifters-up of our language will soon be busying themselves with something else.

Debt to Society

The well-worn phrase about paying a debt to society" takes on new meaning in the case of the several hundred in- mates of three prisons who have volun- teered as guinea pigs" in testing new drugs to combat malaria.
 Their volunteer duty will extend be- yond that of the soldiers who barred their arms to the anopheles mosquito in Wal ter Reeds search for the malaria car rier For these men will not only con- tract the disease, but will submit to ex- periments with potential remedies whose properties and correct dosage are as yet imperfectly known.
 If the tests are successful, malaria Suf- ferers have promise not of the relief and control that quinine and atabrine bring, but of complete cure of this recurring disease Most important, success will provide remedy for thousands of sol- diers who have contracted this painful, exhausting and sometimes fatal disease.
 It is significant that these prisoners are promised nothing beyond the best of care. They take full responsibility for all consequences. They are offered no special privileges, communication of sentence, or other reward They are simply, in the best and truest sense, paying their debt to society.

town treasury and local bank in any American community, only on big scale. But the experts apparently can't even decide whether the Breton Woods blue print is for the gold standard or agin it.
 Harry D. White, assistant secretary of the Treasury, told the House Banking Committee that the gold standard would Gin a sense" be restored under the plan. But the eminent and erudite Lord Keynes of England has interpreted the Breton Woods specifications as meaning that there will be no return to the gold standard.
 Ordinarily any proposition that seemed simple to newSpaperman and confusing to an international money expert would be good enough for us. But in this case that handy solution seems trifle shaky. We suspect somehow that it's more inn portant for MT. Morgenthau and Lord Keynes to agree on what Breton Woods means than it is for Tom Stokes and Sam Grafton to agree that the whole things perfectly simple.

HARDEST MARCH LIES AHEAD
Bridgeport Post)


 The news from Europe is so startling and 50 welcome, we are apt to lose sight of the situation in the Pacific and its gravity. The commander of the U. s. Marine Corps, General Vandegrift, is ful- ly aware of the conditions that exist in the heavy task of subduing the arrogant Nipponese.
 In an address at Temple Emanu- Fl, he warned that although we had outfought the Japanese at every turn, and though crippling blows are under way which VIII bring that war nearer its close, the hardest part of the march still lies ahead" The Japs arc finally at the desperation point and can be counted upon to put up their bitterest resistance wherever the forces of the United States strike. This will be particularly true from now on. But even with his warn ings he sees brighter day ahead for all, spiritually.
 The enemy in it's fanaticism has failed to stem the American ad- vances, but that does not mean that we will have an easy task to take over the Jap Islands ard con- quer the armies on land. He att tributes our successes in part to our superior training and in part to the spiritual element which guides our men.
 There Is 8 still more decisive clement" than training and equip ment, the general affirmed. Tt is that our sons fight in defense oi homes in which they have learned the right way of life. They fight in defense of 8 nation where they and their loved ones have known personal, civil and religious free dom as few men have known it in this worlds history. They fight for the brotherhod of mankind And because they fight for these causes they know that God is or their side"
 Unlike so many of his contem- poraries who have been expressing a defeatist or pessimistic fear oi irreligion and spiritual deteriora- tion after the war is over. the gen. eral expressed a firm belief that because of the religious experiences of the men and their chaplains ir the war, the American people car look to a general revival of reit' I gious conviction

sent young Handy to college at Emory and Henry, a church school near Bristol, because it made special concessions to preachers sons.
 But the General also fails to list this in Who's Who, perhaps because he was asked to leave by the faculty when professor came by and saw a freshman being mildly hazed. Actually, Tom Handy was just looking on, but the professor suspected him of being the ringleader.
 That was the turning point in Tom Handy's start toward becom- ing a full general. He went to the Virginia Military Institute, was graduated, won 8 decoration in France, along with Macarthur and in the same operation. After the war he taught at VMI, the same school from which General the years of peace, when other of- Marshall was graduated. During ficers were playing golf, bridge or polo, Handy was working night and day. Quiet, shy, confident, he went through all the advanced schools.
 In the last three years he has risen from lieutenant col- to full general and is now Dep uty Chief of Staff, the right hand man to Marshall. Prob ably his father never. had a church which paid him over S1,20O, but on that he raised four boys and 8 girl, including one of the highest-ranking gen. erals of the Army.

 UNRRA CONFIRMS
 This column recently told how a British colonel, posing as an UNRRA worker in Greece, had been found with receipts show ing British payments to Greek right-wing factions to encourage them to fight the Greek left wing. Simultaneously, the British h. formation Service issued denial. Later in the day, however, Reu- ters, the British news service, telephoned the UNRRA public comment on the story.
 What comment?" asked the UNRRA representative.
 You're going to deny 1t, aren't you?" said Reuters.
 ''No," replied UNRRA, "the storys true.'
 NEW GENERAL HANDY
 Least-known of the newly pro- noted full generals is Gen. Thomas T. Handy, Deputy Chief of Staff. If you look him up in Who's Who, you will find that he merely says he was born in Ten nessee. He does not say where, and he does not list his father or mother.
 Fact Is that the Generals father was Rev. T. R. Handy, an itinerant Methodist preacher who spent fifty years shepherding his flOcks in the mountains of Southwestern Virginia and Eastern Tennessee. His father

or their loved ones.
 But above the worlds suffering stands the suffering Christ. Before He came, men believed that suffer- ing is 8 misfortune to be avoided at all costs. After He died on the cross, men began to see that suf- fering is part of a great cosmic process of redemption in which God Himself takes part and suffers with His children.
 The cross of Christ stands on a high hill today, above all the crosses which misfortune has set up in our sorrowing hearts. The cross of Christ assures us that there is a meaning to suffering, that it blesses us even while 1t scourges us,

JUDGE sHEA's PROPER
DECISION (Hartford Times)


 The act of Superior Court Judge William J. Shea in agreeing to re- open the case against officials and employees of the Barnum and Bailey Circus and hear a motion for sus- pension of the sentences imposed and permission to withdraw the pleas of nolo contendere, will meet with general public approval.
 Since these cases were decided, it has been made emphatically evident that the people of this vicinity are in no vengeful mood and that they are not demanding scapegoats for last summers disaster.
 There has been large sympathy for the individuals convicted, and in all probability there will be no public feeling that Judge Shea has erred in deciding to hear the mat ter further.
 If there is anything to be brought out, or any argument to be pre- sented, 1t Is proper, of course, that 1t should be done in open court. : The issue which confronted Judge Shea was not an easy one to resolve.

A Thought for Today
Demobilizing Bureaucracy

We must pay just as much attention to demobilizing the bureaucrats as we do to demobilizing the Army or Navy" said Senator Arthur Vandenberg in recent radio address.
 The Michigan senator wasn't just mak- ing another Republican speech about Democratic administration. He admitted that the war had made bureaucracy inc vitable; that generally it. had been handled well; that many controls must remain after victory as insurance against economic collapse.
 At the same time Mir Vandenberg cited the potential danger in body of some 4,OOO executive decreeS which have the force of law, but not the background of open debate and voting of our law making process. He warned of the tenac- ity of bureaucracy, which might seek to perpetuate itself.
 Certainly an expensive government payroll of more than 3,000,000 civilians is as foreign to our needs and traditions as an armed force of 10,000,000, however necessary both may be now. But there's a difference between the two groups: unlike most of the millions in the armed forces, the civilian army may not be anxious to go home.
 So it seems logical that MT. Vanden- berg's proposed demobilization of the bureaucrats might also include reha- bilitation program. Some occupants of top drawers in our Washington bureaus may need it before they are reconciled to returning to private life.
 Washington has considerable number of young men who came to the bureaus straight out of college, or from the early beginning of business or professional career. Many of them are bright young men, representing possible source of national leadership in the coming post war decade.
 But their first experience with govern ment has been in an unnatural atmoS- phere. They have had too much author ity over the lives and livelihoodS of their fellow citizens, with a minimum of re- 6ponsibility. There has been too little to remind them that they are public servants.
 Many wartime directives and decisions tracing from the young men in the alpha betical agencies reveal that they nistook ultimate authority for ultimate knowl- edge They have made confusing and unavoidable attempts to force complex Industrial practices to conform to war time needs without consulting those af- fected. And they have sometimes re- jected advice through suspicion that special knowledge can't exist without special pleading.
 It probably should be made clear to these young men that they were given emergency powers that most people be- lieved were more necessary than wise. They should be convinced that ordinarily the people insist on voice in decisions which affect their lives Perhaps good first step in rehabilitation would be to have the young men visit the officers of their home-district congressmen and read typical weeks fan mail from critical, demanding, hyper-vigilant con- stituents.

Selected Poem
NORTHERN SPRING (Grace Lee Kenyon in the Poets Column, Hartford
 Courant)

This was our dawn, mist of rose and violet,
 Shimmering against sky of sullen gray A dove with ridescent breast, spread pinions,
 Poised on the hilltop, waiting for the day. We watched the colors glow in radiant beauty;
 Then, from the sun shining arrow speed. It found its mark, deep in the pulsing glory,
 And left wound there, deepening to bood-red. This should have been a sunrise full of promise,
 sheen of gold above the distant hill; But slowly, all the Splendor dimmed and faded, The gray sky darkened and the air grew chill. Now slowly, slowly falling from the clouds
 Are feathers scattered by the arrows flight; mourufrll wind drifts landward from the ocean, And all our world is desolate and white.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-03-30

Dr. Anton J. Carlson, University of Chicago physiologist and adventurous eater, lived on a K-ration diet for three days at the invitation of the Army Quar- termaster Corps. We should be more impressed by the Spartan sacrifices of Dr. Carlson's rugged experiment if we didn't know that K-ration includes those rare but well-remembered comestibles, meat and cheese.
