“TO MEN OF GOODWILL” j
Not so many months ago the world was more ox less cor i
fidently expecting peace. The most devastating of wars eve • i
to afflict this planet was over. The nations of the world h.*»d
united in an organization purportedly to keep the peace and to
bring to the world th« 'Four Freedoms." Nazism was .presumably
stamped out. Our own nation ha - experienced cf ur usual urr ■■
of purpose and effort stimulated by the pressure of war.
Today the world seems to be in as sorry a pliohi as eve.
War goes on in China. Civil conflict rages in Eastern Europe and
in the land which gave birth to the Prince of Peace. Russia
afraid and agressive. The United States is uregressive but no. l
unafraid. The cld imperialistic nations hang on desperately io
outworn ideas and methods. National and racial bigotry seem
to diminish little if at ail. Our nation stands discredited in it •
world leadership for justice by its racial dscrimination. its self
ishness in the face of the needs of other people, its profiteers I
and gougers who permit and abet a continuously rising price I
level.
But the promise of the angel-, still stands. Peace on earth
to men of good will" is still attainable. Are thaws more men !
of good will today than there were in 1944. 19JS, fifty, a hundred. .

a thousand years ago? If so, then the Spirit of Christmas is pre
will.
The world can have the peace when ii is ready to adopt the good

charges against him alleging
that Vic is of Negro parent age.
i and thus, under North Caro

The couple- was married
Doc. S in Virginia. When Mrs.
Spence learned of the
marriage, the went to work
and dug up a birth ceriifi

ceased midwife, purporting to
show that Mi wood's parents

i "Negro''' was not used.
At cording to Milwosd. he
had no knowledge that he
possesses Negro blood. He
said he served three years in
