President Truman can be compared
to Hitler, and Brazil's President Dutra
is an incompetent soldier and fascist,
according to the Russian magazine,
Literary Gazette.
So Brazil sewers diplomatic relations
with Russia because of the magazines
nasty name-calling, and our State De-
partment sends a formal protest to
Russia because a Russian journalist
drew false analogy
Every day thousands of nasty COM
ments about Russia appear in the
American press, some justified and
some similar to the above statements.
The American countries shout about
freedom of the press and condemn
Russias censored press. Then when
the Russians indulge in mud-slinging
and propaganda too, we say, in effect,
Nov you say nice things about us,
Joe, or we won't play with you any
more"

modities-in fact every phase of the
economic and social life of the area.
"Our organization has stood fast for
civil liberties for all our people, and
we have not engaged in the name
calling hate campaigns which divide
and destroy organizations.
"The development of our co-opera-
tives in marketing, processing, pur-
chasing and insurance programs has
made possible a service to our mem
bers which is not excelled by any
other group. The outstanding service
of the FUGTA, both to the grain grow
ers it serves and the Flu as an edu
cational organization, is an achieve
ment which will be appreciated more
and more as time goes on.
Turning to foreign affairs, Patton
echoed the statement of the board of
directors which called for the execu-
ton of the Marshall Plan through the
economic commission for Europe, and
agency of the United Nations.
UN Is Sole Agency For
World Peace
"The Farmers Union believes in
the United Nations as the sole agency
that can insure the worlds political
and economic rehabilitation, and
therefore the sole agency that can
insure world peace.
1--WE humans are engaged in race
against barbarism which may deter
mine whether we continue our or
ganized society or enter a new dark |
age of chaos and barbarism. Our
logical but sometimes inhuman phys
ical sciences have created one phys
ical world. We now have atomic
power, which can be great construc-
tive or destructive force.
81 therefore think it is squarely up
to us as human beings to give many
thousand times more thought and eff
fort to finding ways and means of
living with our fellow man.
1--WE have dynamic war physcho-
logy-not forceful, dynamic attitude
Tor peace. Peace is in our hearts, but
war is on our minds.
"This is the zero hour for democ-
'acy and for organized civilized So
;iety. What we do in the next few
months and in the next two or three
vears may well determine whether we
lave lasting peace and brotherhood or
whether we enter new era of the
lark ages and barbarism''

GOSPEL TALKS
By Rev. r. c. Valentine
A LIFE
0) The Foundation:

Cd The roundabout
"Other foundation can no man lay
than that is laid. which is Jesus
Christ."--1 Cor. Bill.
Although it is not an object OF
beauty and is seldom thought about
as long as il is firm, a foundation is
a very important part of a building.
No one who knew the simplest prin-
ciples of construction would begin
a building without preparing ade-
auate foundation. This foundation
must be able to support the structure
in all kinds of weather, storms and
disturbances. A building without a
foundation would soon collapse.
So with a life--a foundation is i'm
portant. Some seek to build charact-
err without any abiding truth as its
basis and the result is always disas-
trous. Others build on sand with
equally disastrous results. A life
must have as its motivating force
truth as deep as eternity that can
seize and hold the conscience. This
truth is found in the Bible in gen.
eral and in Jesus Christ in parttcul-
ar. That is why Paul says in the text
above that there is no other founda-
