STOP RUSSIA NOW

T am an old man." Leahy con- tinued his advice to Truman. T have been in this aval-diplomatic game for long time. And I have a record that will hold up against that of anyone else. And I warn you now. MT. President, that if we continue to appease Russia we will be up against the same situa- tion we faced between 1887 and 1941, with eventual war.
 'It won't come right away, but it will come in five years. The Rus sians can be our friends, but not if they think they can get away with everything; not if they think they can walk all over us. They are now in the aggressors seat, and only a firm but friendly hand can stop them.
 Two and one-half nations came out of this war as leaders-the U. s. and the USS.R., with Britain a poor third. We can't play Bri- tain's game, but we can't appease Russia. If we do we will have war.
 Note-President Truman also has been greatly worried over the Rus sian situation, though he is in- clined to play along with Secretary Byrnes for while and see wheth- CT the conciliatory policy Byrnes adopted at Moscow will get re- suits.

of war A Marine veteran strangles his wife of two weeks in their bed in modest Norwood home A love triangle is solved" in northern suburb of the city by a shooting. Time and time again man with a magnificent combat record has returned only to find he is a modern Enoch Arden. that the love which sustained him through the hell of battle did not survive the drab uneventfu loneliness of the home front in his wifes heart.
 It is day which Goes not bring another poignant chapter in this endless epic of personal tragedies stemming from the grim fact of war. As often as not the simple fact of enforced long separation young and their young wives is at the root Of the trouble.
 Frequently the returning veteran is suffering from more emotional strain than he suspects, and more than his wife or family friends may suspect. A problem that other men, civilians all their lives, would solve in a matterof-fact spirit the veteran is likely to solve dramatically and desperately
 He was indoctrinatad to kill and to take his own life in his hands from day to day. He saw other men killed and wounded Life in his eyes has been cheap ened by what he has and experienced Violence, in his book of values has become the natural way to deal with situations.
 This is the sorry heritage of war It is with us, and it will be with us for long time. It is part of the uncalculated cost of the mighty war Fortunately the veteran who cannot make the adjustment to civilian life to the complex world of free men in a confusing social order is the rare exception. And the wife who cannot cherish her love in separation for few years and make the adjustment to husband who is almost a stranger also is the exception
 With a little tolerance, little more under standing many of the personal tragedies which are the aftermath of war be worked out in good time But for the emotional strain and the hardening impact of war simply too great
 War bonds and taxes deprivation in terms of food and clothing and new homes-these are not the whole cost of war We must pay, also in broken homes in crimes of violence, in neglected children drifting into evil ways Each tragic narrative of these days is one for untring effort to see that major war shall fasten itself upon us again
