it would be well to look ahead to
the time when it could cease sup

the county had little supervision
over such workers. 1t was decided,
however, to grant the request of
Dr.. V. L. Ellicott for supplement

pected to be granted by the State

CHRISTMAS is with US again.
~ AS the seasons spirit grad
nallv takes possession OF US
we are struck by more realistic
appreciation of the meaning OF
"Peace on earth, good will
toward men," During the war
wears the combination and
accumulation of terrible tragedies
gave modern
'Peace civilization rea-
On son to pause.
Earth Complex as our
mode of living
has become we are simply still
normal human beings. AS we
struggled through the war we
determined that whatever our
detectives might be the principal
objective was peace.
We have won the war and we
are now trying to win the peace.
We need peace at home just as
urgently as we need peace among
. 1ations. The strife existing in
he industrial field is not in
keeping with the effort being
made by the United Nations.
Primarily, of course, we want
peace with other countries but
peace, total peace, does not exist
when we witness such things as
the recent strike of the United
Mine Workers.
Peace resulting from absence
of military conflict, of course,
is the outstand-
Goodwill ing objective of
Toward mankind. But if
Men, we in America
are to maintain
what we feel is a position of
leadership in the world, we must
show, by example, that we are
abe to maintain complete peace
at home.
There is way through which
labor and industry can work in
harmony. To find that way is as
much a challenge to US as win
ming the conflict with Japan. The
greatest misfortune that can be-
fall us is return to complacency
regarding true peace. 1t is along
this line of reasoning that we
approach Christmas 1916. So
there is hope that we will not
return to that complacercv lich

ately preceding Pearl Harbor.

 Build Graft Given

NUREMBERG. Germany, May g. Grand Adm, Karl Doenitz testi- fled today that the German navy was so unprepared for the recent war that, in one month, it was able to send out only two submarines.
 The former commander of the German Navy, on trial with 2 oth- CTS on war crimes charges, told the International Military Tribunal that the outbreak of the war found Ger many with only 30 or 40 U-boats, of which only a third could be used at a time.
 He said the Navy had to dis contiHle work on capital ships, ex- cept these nearing completion, and concentrate every effort on build ing submarines.
 That is the reason submarine warfare really started in 1922, when those we were building at the out break of the war were put into service" Doenitz said. Tn 1940, our replacements hardly covered our losses"
 He charged that British warships and planes attacked German sailors in lifeboats or swimming in the sea.
