The celebration, nish.isnted at

The season began about April 2

The lettuce was followed by beans,

The Fruits of War

THERE is no reason to doubt the
accuracy of Mr.. Churchill's as.
sertion that the Russians, while
not wanting war, want the fruits
Of war.
The evidence shows that the
Soviet is getting them. In 1899
Moscow controlled 10000, 900 peo-
pie and s,24l,92l square miles of
territory. Since that time Russia
has added 273,947 square miles of
territory and 24,355, 500 persons to
her domain and, apparently, the
Communist leaders believe that it
is safe to make few more addi-
lions.
The policy being pursued by
Moscow is based upon the assump-
ton that there is no nation willing
to face a possible war with Russia
in an effort to halt the acquisi-
ton of desired areas. 1t is based,
no doubt, upon the report Of in
telligence agents in this country,
and elsewhere, who do not believe
that the people of any democratic
country are willing to assume any
risk in order to stop Moscow.

Women Assume
New Roles

MARY BEARD, wife of an emil
nent historian, and one in her
own right, has written a book of
100000 words to prove that woman
is not, and never has been, domi-
mated by man.
We have not read the book and
therefore we know nothing of the
argument advanced. However, it
should be noted, by any interested
in the theory expounded, that the
introduction Of the Industrial tech
ntque, which is largely engaged in
supplying the needs of modern
homes, has developed a civiliza-
ton in which most of the duties,
assigned 20 women IN ages past,
have been assumed by factories.
In earlier civilizations it was the
woman who ran the home, pro-
vided the few homegrown foods,
AAAAoC tdAc StOtucS anu OtucTWlSc
operated the economics Of the fam
lily. The husband, in that day, was
the hunter and warrior. Now, he
has become the bread-winner to a
great degree, using much Of his
earnings to provide substitutes and
requirements for what the wife
and mother formerly contributed,
1t may be that the current trend
of women into employment rests
Fundamently upon the steady alb
clifton of the work and drudgery
of the earlier home. Many modern
maidens, and wives as well, find it
desirable TO get out of the home,
secure employment and make a de-
cided contribution to the sums now
necessary to maintain desired
standard of living.

Selective Service
THE SELECTIVE SERVICE Act
Necessary

THE SELECTIVE SERVICE Act
expires on May 18th, unless
renewed by Congress. Legislation
has, been introduced to extend its
operations for six months and Sec
rotary Of War Robert P. Patter-
son, Secretary of State James F.
Byrnes and Army leaders recent
ly appeared before a closed meet
ing of the House Military Affairs
Committee to urge that the extern
sion be enacted into law.
Mr.. Patterson indicated that
there would be no major reduc-
ton in the strength requirements
of the Army after July l, l947,
until occupation tasks are ended,
and pointed out that this repre-
sents a reduction of almost FIVE
million men from those expected to
be in service on July LIST, 1916.
The Secretary of War also out
lined the tasks confronting the
Army. These included the occupa-
ton duties in Europe, Japan and
Korea, the maintenance of our
lines of communication and support
ing installations for the occupa-
ton forces and the maintenance of
key points in the national security
structure, such as the Panama
Canal, Alaska and air bases along
the approaches to the nation.
In addition, new men must be
trained to replace men overseas
who should come home, there
should be a force available to the
UN0, an adequate program of
intelligence. research and develop
ment and, finally, the nation needs
a strong military establishment in
a world which is still far from
settled.

country would not uphold its sud-

effort to beat the enemy to the

we would wait for the enemy to
