A Column of Opinion . . .

HISTORIC MOMENT This nation passed one of the sharp dividing lines in its history on Sunday morning, June 25, but few of us fully realized what had happened until Wednesday, July 19, and possibly not all of us fully realize it now: Many of us, perhaps, could still be startled by such predictions as that made yesterday by an unnamed but highly placed official in Washington that our major counter - offensive in Korea might have to be put off as far as next spring. The news from Korea has taken longer to come through than did the news from Pearl Harbor.

The comparison may seem sinister. It need not be so. What we are now trying to do is to see to it that the news from Korea does not mean what the news from Pearl Harbor did — that is, our entrance into a world war. We are militarizing part of our economy in order to avoid having to militarize all of it. We are preparing to spend many billions on warlike preparations to restore peace in one part of the world and to preserve a complete and lasting peace in the rest of the world — a gigantic saving in the long run. : _ I The necessity for spending | those billions pursued us like a nightmare. Mr. Truman and his advisers came to il slowly and reluctantly as the news grew worse and one by one their hopes were disap-| pointed. * The man in the street does not know all that the Administration knows,, but we may assume that some facts not yet made public reinforced the decision finally reached. That decision Mr. Truman stated last Wednesday in his message to Congress. He drew the conclusion that “the international Communist movement is prepared to use armed invasion to conquer independent nations”, and that we must therefore increase “our military strength and preparedness not only to deal with aggression in Korea but also to increase our common defense, with other free nations, against further aggression.” This effort calls for a sacrifice from every.one of us—from young men who will have to give up civilian opportunities and go into uniform, from consumers, taxpayers, farmers, workers, and business men. The growth of true national wealth will slow down. The labor and materials that must go into defense cannot produce homes, school houses, hospitals, and an unlimited supply of the luxuries and conveniences, great and small, that make the American standard of liv<ing. This does not mean that the runs which have started in some consumers’ goods are justified. They are, as President Truman said “perfectly - ridiculous.” But what is spent

for one purpose cannot -be spent for another. A policeman’s work raises no potatoes. None the less, it so happens that some things are more precious than potatoes, more precious, even, than increases in the standard of living. The “basic moral principle” of which Mr. Truman spoke on Wednesday is one of them. Because of this we were not “deterred by the relative immediate superiority of the attacking forces” in Korea. Because of it we are willing tc divert a part of our strength from the productive activities of peace to the economically sterile activities of military defense. But even the economic argument is not against Continued on Page 7

Christian Science 411 Lincolnway West “God” is the subject of the Les-son-Sermon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, on Sunday, July 2. The Golden Text is: “Exalt the Lord our God, and worship at his holy hill; for the Lord our God is holy” (Psalms 99:9). Among the citations which comprise the Lesson-Sermon is the following from the Bible: “If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one amongl{a thousand, to shew unto man his uprightness: Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom. He shall pray unto God, and he will be favourable unto him: and he shall sece his face with joy: for he will render unto man his righteousness” (Job 33:23, 24, 26). el e

The Lesson-Sermon also includes the following passage from the Christian Science textbook, “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures” by Mary Baker Eddy: “If God destroys not sin, sickness, and death, they are not destroyed in the minds of mortals, but seem to this so-called mind to be immortal. What God cannot do, man need not attempt. If God heals not the sick, they are not healed, for no lesser power equals the infinite All-power; but God, Truth, Life, Love, does heal the sick through the prayer of the righteous” (p. 231).
