» ” “PREPAREDNESS WOULD HAVE PREVENTED WAR” By Foruin Fan, Indianapolis In reply to Mr. Daacke’s article of May 2. The reason given for the Pearl Harbor attack is only a statement of half truth. The enemy struck because they knew this country was not prepared for war as it should have been. Had we

the world have the power to solve this problem, but how many of them could exercise this-power in a country such ‘as Russia and stay out of concentration camps or worse? Some day this plan may be possible in all countries. Let us hope so. However, as things are now our best insurance against war is to be prepared for it and at the same time endeavor not to become too much involved in other countries affairs. There is no guarantee that this policy will keep us out of war, but experience should have taught us that the other way has proven a failure. Teddy Roosevelt said “Speak softly but carry a big stick.” That is still good advice. This country can afford to disarm when the others agree to. The United States has already gone much further in this direction than certain other countries since the war's end. Why make it easy for war mongers to convince other countries that Amerifa would be

a pushover?

“UN MUST GO OVER MINORITY VETO” By Miss Clara Rice, 581 K. of P. From my bird's-eye view the picture, the United Nations will never accomplish much until it is able to go over the minority veto with a majority vote the same as in the house and senate in case uf the President's veto. It is almost impossible to get a unanimous vote on any question and wastes much valuable time. It has astonished me that United Nations ever expected in | to do so.

Bldg. of

of the atom bomb were given to the United Nations and the United Nations held responsible for its use and protection, it would stop this eternal discussion and jealousy of 'the United States and release the idea for use in progressive ways for the benefit of mankind instead of his destruction. Also it would promote a feeling of trust and confldence among United Nations free to get to work on really important peace-time questions such as economy and wellbeing of all nations and world trade, etc. Would it put some teeth in United Nations if they had: a United Nations army (or police force) made up of contingents of soldiers, sailors and airmen from each of the rations but considered as one army (the United Nations Army or Police) to be called out only by & majority vote of the United Nations in any drastic emergency? I believe something like this will have to be done to overcome the haggling and jealousies’ of the nations as there are still Some nations, it seems, who are not quite ready for peace negotiations in spite of the inferno of war they have just passed through. In case of any country becoming rebellious, that country’s contingent would be left out of the activities and if they insisted on fighting, with - all the other contingents against them, it would be a simple matter to “slap them down.” Of course there is the possibility that two or more nations’ might still unite, but with United Nations’ guidance and influence, if the world really wants peace, war might be prevented. If the term World Police were used instead of the United Nations Army, this would get away from the military idea and the word police would also brand the offenders as criminals, which they are. The trial and punishment of the war mongers as criminals in this last war has been a stepaip in civilization. When all nations have acquired real civilization and wisdom, violence will be unnecessary and will be taboo.

A word police would also be a

REFLECTIONS

NEW YORK, May 13.—These are perilous, puzzling times, so pocked with pitfalls and boobytrapped with ‘margin for error that I am not surprised that a British vicar recently withdrew a plea to allow spinsters to bear legally unsanctioned babies. Bounded on one side by Henry Wallace, and on the other by the common cold, a new child in this world needs plenty of protection. It is no:longer safe, even, for a man to get angry, for medical science has plainly demonstrated that losing your temper may ground you for a week with the sniffles. When a fellow gets sore, the membranes in his nose swell, providing a fertile foothold for the ever-present germ.

Don't Overwork Your Heart SUCCESS, once the ideal of the American citizen, is now ruled out of bounds, because it overworks your heart. The do-less, amiable loafer, content to sponge off his relatives, lives on and on, while his energetic, ambitious brother conks off early with an overstuffed heart. At a rather grisly exhibit in Chicago recently, all the swollen tickers in the alky bottle belonged to successful executives who had been chopped off in the prime. Man seemingly has stopped concentrating on effort and now is leaning on luck to get him by. Searching, ever searching, for the elusive shape of fortune, a man in Oakland, Cal, changed his name. His name had been Miswald Cends Wrandvakist, and you couldn't blame him, except for one thing: he changed it to Linkols Dislgrowels Wrandvausgilmolkets. Doubtless suffused with the spirit of Mother's day, a man out in Queens sent his mother-in-law a package of nuts. The fact that he had carefully dusted the nuts, first, with cyanide-of potassium, took something from the gesture, but then, how many mothers-in-law get presents at all? The streets must be made safe for our children, and by that I do not mean that the bicycle necessarily must go. But the other day a steer broke loose

WORLD AFFAIRS .

WASHINGTON, May 13.—The United Nations is now debating the problems of strife-torn Palestine, one of the world’s most ancient trouble spots. Palestine, said Sir George Adams Smith, “has never belonged to one nation and probably never will.” True or not, it was the scene of conflict. long before David, Solomon, Maccabaeus and Jesus trod its soil, and the story has followed the same general pattern from the days of Mark, Matthew, Luke and John down to the present.

U.S. Backs Jewish State

THE REASON IS NOT difficult to understand. It has always been a crossroads of civilization. Caravans from China, India, Mesopotamia, Assyria, Arabia, Asia Minor and Egypt met there with traders from Europe and Africa. Jews, Moslems and Christans added religious differencés to the stresses of politics, race and geography. The situation’ in Palestine would seem made to order for the United Nations. Blood is flowing primarily because of a three-way dispute among British, whé control the area under mandate, and Jews and Arabs. In 1017, Britain's Foreign Secretary Balfour made the following histric declaration: “His majesty’s government view with favor: the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best ¥hdeavors to facilitate the achievement of that object—it being understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious, rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjgyed by the Jews in any other country.”

Zionists insist that the Balfour declaration come’

As every President, from Wilson to True man, has gone on record in support of the declarae tion, the U. 8. is regarded as morally bound to back such a state. Arab countries have watched the rise of the Zionist movement with mounting hostility. They threaten war if the Jews set up a sovereign state, and Moslems all the way from Casablanca to Singa« pore have pledged support. The Arabs demand an independent Palestine under Arab rule.
