Where Is the Victory
We Won?

Nearly two years have passed
since We and VI day. We won
the victory; but something has
happened to it. Perhaps we were
thinking of victory in terms of
fixed donation, a terminal at
the end of the line of hostilities.
And this has deceived us. Instead,
perhaps we should think of victory
as permitting us the opportunity
to work for victory in other areas.
It was (or should have been) our
stern compulsion to make that VIC
tory effective in many directions.
Religion teaches us that no VIC
tory is ever complete. Even when
we win, much still needs to be
done. Victory is continuing
process, part of strong inner de-
termination to subdue other evils
and to conquer inirnical forces.
It is never a point that we def
nitely reach; victory is purpose
and effort toward high accomp-
lishment.
We. have contradicted our VIC
tory, and here are some of the
ways in which we have denied
the purposes we sought: :.
(a) Our suspicious and antag-
onisms have increased. We trust
none, not others, neither ourselves.
We annul victory because we
have lost the willingness to work
together, for the common good as
partners. We seek all the time
to have someone to blame if
things go wrong. We refuse to
accept personal responsibility.
(b) We try to buy our way out
of bad situations. Is that hap
pening to our foreign policy? We
hope that with money, we can
correct our own mistakes. IF we
made fewer mistakes, we would
not rely so heavily upon our mon
ey to pull us through. Had we
more understanding and less sus-
picion, if we thought of victory
as that which keeps us working
together in friendly accord, then
we should be making fewer dis
astrous mistakes.
(c) If history teaches any les
son, it is that TESTS of loyalty
defeat themselves. To require and
compel uniformity from everyone.
to make everyone subscribe to
the same slogan, has always been
disastrous wherever tried. His
tory is clear on that point.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Sept. Is. =

the woman he always regarded

She died December IA, 1915.
Oscar testified he had lived
with Mr.. and Mrs. John Harley
since he was an infant and that
he had regarded them as his pa

Mrs. Petty. Mrs. Harley and
Mrs. Petty were sisters.
Mrs. Harley told the court
she and her husband had taken
Oscar as a baby and had reared
him as their own son without
protest from the mother.

The Assembly's Political
