PITY is BEING ORGANIZED


During the warsa Fr6e French broad
caster in London questioned4a1 German
prisoner of war. WHAT, he asked, will
you Germans do if you~lose agatS'NThe
reply was prompt. we shall doeas Ne did
after the fast war4we> shall organize pity
for Germany"
The prisoner knew his Germany. The
campaign has started - the systematic,
slv. familiar and predicted organization of
the worlds pity and especially the clever
playing upon American sympathies and
American inclination to forgive and for

Take the diet of Germans in the war
guilt trial town of Nuremberg. They get
$50 grams Of starches and rice per head
per weak. Meanwhile, the French get
none. Nurembergers receive 90 grams of
cheese weekly to so grams in France.
Potatoes and milk are four and five times
as plentiful for the Germans as for the
people of France. Yet Germany is the sup
posed closer" and France In on the side
of the supposed winners. In nearly every
item of food the Germans eat as we'll as,
and in many categories substantially bet
ter than, their victims but still their cam
paign to organize pity continues. None of
the comparative facts are revealed, of
course. On contrary, a grim and heart
rending picture of starvationpiss PAINTED
The Germans are past masters Of pfopa-
ganda.
Americans must learn to discriminate
in their pity. We can be sorry for the Ger
mans but all in good time Their victims
have a stronger claim on us. We must not
forget that throughout the war the Ger
mans-nobody else in Europe-had a bal
anced diet with adequate fats and vita
minis and that it was the Germans-nobody
else-whO invaded Austria, Poland, Nor
way, Denmark, Holland, Belgium, France,
Russia, Yugoslavia, Greece and all the
others
Let us be generous but let us not be
undiscrminating in our generosity.

IMPORTANCE OF TRUTH

We have wondered many a time since
the city commissioners were inaugurated
if anything of a concrete nature could
come out of the many attacks and counter
attacks and no end of recriminations that
have occurred at their meetings.
One would have been led to believe,
judging by the attitude assumed by some
men who have attended the meetings,
that the best way to attain an end is to re-
sort. to denunciation.
Fl. Denunciation is not argument. It is
easy enough for man to question the sim
.cerity- of another man, and it is even easier
for one man, who is carried away by an
opinion that others should conform to liv-
ing their lives the way he wishes they
should be lived, to tell others how they
should shape their lives.
Men of that type apparently forget
that another has just as much right to
try to make them live as he lives as they
have to try to change him to entertaining
their view Of life.
Some opinionated men even go so far
as to try to force their views on others,
forgetful that everybody has his own life
to live. It is well, if he lives it unwisely, to
try to persuade him to change his mode of
life, but you may be sure that denunciation
will not make him change it.
To return to the commissioners:
things have gone so far that man., in open
meeting, declared he knew who "put up"
$3,O0OIto5be used as graft. If that man. can
prove what he s&dxb will be a boon to
the comm nifty, rf6r she givingsand taising
of graft3ls a ddsprab leFshings but II he
cannot prove it and it turns out he based
his assertion on hearsay, then the position
in which he has placed himself may we'll
be lesson to others to say only what they
know to be true.

DEPENDS UPON PEOPLE


World peace, we are told, cannot be
based upon the sovereign equality of ma
tons but must rest, upon worldwide
legal order, standing above nations, and
possessing the power to create law and
enforce it upon individuals.
We think this would be an ideal SET
up, provided the super-governmen would
learn what has not been appTNci ated Ain;
the United States, that the rights of in
dividuals must not be snuffed out in an
effort to produce a uniform pattern of
conduct
At the present time, however, we see
no prospect that the nations, including the
United States, are ready to abrogate their
sovereignty. The trend of popular opinion,
it seems, is the other way. There is danger
of new outburst of nationalism, with the
people of each country judging every pro-
posal by what they get out of it.
We do not know when the ideal,
superstate. will arrive. q Some day it will
come into AsHgabut i wlIsnot be possible
until the majority Of the people of the
world grow wisely tolerant of dissidents.
The peace of the world depends more upon
the willingness of peoples to live and let.
live than upon the type1of governments
that exist.

quickly, her hand flying to her

quick motion set her head to
reeling.

shoulders, while with the other
hand he adjusted the pillows so
that she was resting comfortably
in half-sitting position. "HoW's
that? Comfortable"
''Fine!" She really was comfor-

so she was afraid she might pass
out. She was pretty sure she
couldn't eat the delicious looking
food they had brought her. She'd
have to make a try, though, with
both of them watching her so
hopefully. With Mrs. Maxon's help
she did pretty well, though Burk
was far from satisfied.

INITIATION CAN HURT

Theoretically, every American is for
price control to prevent initiation The at
htude is almost on par with that of the
average citizen toward law enforcement,
ne IS in favor of it when it does not inter-
fere with what he wants to do.
There are unmistakable signs that
emphasize the danger of inflationary
trends At the beginning the process is
rather soothing but, in the end, it will
prove disastrous. Most people know this
but there are many who believe they are
smart enough to get out before being
caught
There is only one way to prevent dis
astrOus economic effects when the people
begin to turn loose the immense amount
of savings that have been accumulated. It
is by rigid controls, backed up by relent-
less prosecution and Imprisonment of black
market operators.

When he had gone, Mrs. Maxon
said, i've never seen him so con-
cerned over anyone-except his
sister, of course. He's very fond of
her. But usually he's so reticent-"
Edith felt the warm color in her
face, a wave of warmth flooding
her entire being.
THE next morning Burk, about
i to sit down to his breakfast
in his sunny, yellow-curtained
dining room, looked UP startled
to see Edith standing in the door
way. She wore a simple blue linen
frock that Barbara had brought,
her dark hair was smooth and
shining above her flushed face. He
hurried to her side.
What do you think you're do
ing?" he demanded. "You know
perfectly well you've no business
down here!"
But I'm feeling fine," she de-
clared. Look, the swelling has
completely gone out of my ankle
and my head doesn't feel like a
barrel any more. woke up feeling
so we'll / thought perhaps you'd
let me join you for breakfasts"
She reached out her hand and
his fingers closed around hers.
They stood thus for long mo-
ment, looking deep into each
others eyes. Then with little cry
of tenderness, Burk's arms went
around her, his lips sought hers.
Edith, her heart hardly able to
contain the joy of the moment,
chung to him in complete, abandon.
It seemed to her that the whole
world stood still, suspended in
this enchanted fragment Of time,
the beauty of this moment etching
itself with unforgettable3 splendor
into eternity. feaj sIe9g 1. Ii ;,
Later, with tears of rjpynstilf

WEARS SHOE TEN YEARS OLD

1t might help some Americans to ap-
preciate conditions in Europe to tell them
about the six Dutch editors who are visit
ing the United States to study postwar
housing.
One of them revealed recently that
each received one shirt from the Dutch
Government for the trip. Another was
wearing a pair of shoes, with Hopping
soless7 ten years old and too worn for re
pair. The Dutch, he reported, are no long
er able to make wooden shoes because the
Germans took away all trees that were
not destroyed in Holland.
THE crying need in Holland today is
clothing" declared H. NJ. van Randwijk,
who continued: Eve can feed ourselves,
but we cannot clothe ourselves until our
bombed and flooded industries can be re-
built

NEXT morning Burk went about
his work with the thought
constantly in mind, ''She's here
in my house-where I've wanted
her to be all the time!"
No use hedging now, no use
trying to- deny the surging wave
of emotion that had swept over
him when he had held her in his
arms, terrified with a weakening,
sickening agony that harm had
come to her. Might ais we'll just let
down all barriers--those barriers
he had erected for the express
purpose of keeping her out of his
heart. She had catapulted over
them as surely as she had plunged
over his stone wall. And now she
was here in his heart and in his
home. The knowledge gave him a
feeling of completeness, as if a
part long missing had now been
supplied. He could not see now
beyond the present,-indeed he
did not want to t@nk too much
about what the future might hold
for them. Whether or not Edith
might return his love-and in the
end what could be done about
Whit Lacey. Resolutely he shut his
mind to that last consideration,
hoping against hope that it would
take care Of itself when the time
came.
Edith, resting comfortably now
in the big bed in the guest room,
felt that she had been transported
to another world. At Rose1ands an
atmosphere of strain and anxiety
was always manifest, but here
there was a peace and dignity
which seemed to impart itself to
those who sought shelter beneath
its roof. The droWsiness of late
summer pervaded the atmosphere
and carried Edith through a period
of housekeeping, half-Waking. 1t
was an altogether delightful state
in which to be. The consciousness
of where she was, that Burk was
close by, that at any time he
might stick his head in the door
to ask how she felt, lulled her into
a feeling of contented ecstacy.

supper tray, with Mrs. Maxon fiut-
