Sn'kinf! a Solution to II or
The struggle today, in its essence, is not
new. It is as old as man himself. It is tire
struggle lor men’s minds. It is the struggle
between the authoritarian and the democrat,
between those who believe that the individ
ual must bo subservient to some elite and
those who believe that the inherent dignity
of man can find expression only in freedom
under law. The victor in this struggle is the
one which catches the imagination of man
kind.
We are still not winning that fight. In
North America we are much more engrossed
in what Stalin does than in what we our
selves should be doing. The result is that
we are fighting against something instead of
for something. We cannot win by a policy
of negation. Instead we condemn ourselves
to countless years of almost intolerable
economic burdens without any hope that
our sacrifices will be repaid by some meas
ure of security.
Therefore we have to find new ideas. We
have to realize that the most important task
before mankind is to find a solution to war.
Vi hen we do that we shall have found the
solution to poverty and also to commun
ism. Sacramento (Calif.) Union
A fter Ten ) ears
In February, 19-11, U. S. Senator Robert
Taft said, "It is simply fantastic to suppose
there is any danger of an attack on the U. S.
by Japan.”
On down through, that year, the Senator !
prophet was hitting the "spot" with all Ins '
political ability. On August 1, a mere four
months before Pearl Harbor, Mr. Taft was
quoted as saying: "My opinion is that the
situation looks infinitely safer.” the wise old
prophet adding, “I cannot understand the
Statement that the situation is more perilous
than a year ago.”
- Gradually, the Senator moved closer to
Pearl Harbor but in reverse gear. He was
quoted on September 22, 1941, well under
three months Horn. Pearl Harbor, as saying:
'.‘There is much less danger to this country
than there was two years ago; certainly
much less than there was one year ago.”
; Now. about ten years later. Mr. Taft dares
go into book form with his foreign policy
ideas. If they prove as foreign as his ten
•year-ago ideas did, he could live long enough !
to regret ever having put them in such form.
First Iniprvssions
Imperial Magazine
: It is a curious fact that our opinion of a
Strange city is almost entirely contingent on
what happens to us during the few hours or
days in which we are a visitor.
If our hotel is superior, or if we are enter
tained by congenial friends, or if we close
a profitable business deal, we may cherish
U friendly feeling for the community and
cVeryone in it throughout our lifetime.
But »f we run into bedbugs, bad food, lone
liness, a boresome host, or a cold prospect,
.we put the town down as a place to avoid.
It takes years to overcome there first im
pressions.
Another peculiar fact: it is nearly impos
sible not to think of a place as a fast, rich
.city if we happen to be entertained by a live
ly group in a wealthy suburb. Should our
host ride to the hounds, we’ll insist that such
and-such burg is a horsy town.
It just doesn’t occur to us that all towns
contain all kinds of people, in about the
identical percentages, and that all towns are
alike if we make friends easily and are pa
tient.
If’* So!

The Christian } inrpoint
Some earnest thinkers are much concern
ed lest the greatly-prized American doctrine
of separation of church and state should be
misinterpreted to make religious teaching
taboo in our public schools. “Congress shall
make no law respecting an establishment of
religion.” says the First Amendment of our
constitution. Justice Frankfurter and his
colleagues emphasized that in the famous
Champaign case. We need some emphasis
on the statement which immediately fol
lows: “or prohibiting the free exercise there
of.” It was an inspiring sight to the writer
to see about a thousand of the leading edu
cators of the Southland stand during the
singing d1 the Hallo]uh chorus from Han
del's Messiah in .St, Petersburg. No church
organization made them to do that. Their
own program committee planned the ban
quet and invited the college choir. In the
exercise of their freedom they presented one
of the great masterpieces of religious music.
It belongs to all men, who wish to rejoice in
its glorious message. No petty sect can for
bid its being sung.* Our educators are free
to cull from all the past the rich treasures
which belong to all men. Our young people
should be able to hear in school a presenta
tion of the Psalms, the Ava Maria, or the
Messiah. That can be no real education
which quarantines our youth from the great
spiritual experiences and expressions of the
human race.
I am afraid of those who want to rule out
information so as to keep people in the dark.
“And this is the judgment, that the light is
come into the world, and men loved the
darkness rather than the light; for their
works were evil. For every one that doeth
evil ha’eth the light, and cometh not to the
light, lest his works should be reproved. But
he that doeth the truth cometh to the light,
that his works may be made manifest, that
they have been wrought in God.” John
3:19-21. Prepared by Department of Bible, j

I
Human Rrluiions
By Ruth Taylor.
Whether we are at war or at peace; vvheth- j
er we are prosperous or poverty-stricken; I
whether we are happy or depressed — all j
these things depend on our human relations. I
Here are ten points that seem to me im
portant. I
1. Human relations demand teamwork, j
Human relations are opr relations with those
with whom we live and work. If we pull to- j
gether, we get along. If we pull apart, there i
is trouble. And we must do our share that
we both may benefit. It is as simple as that.
2. The appreciation of human dignity is
the basis for good human relations. This
meanse simply respect the other man and j
his viewpoint as you expect him to respect j
yours. It means something else as well. '
Have respect for yourself. You can be your
own fairest critic.
3. Only when human relations are good
can there be economic and social security.
If we are to build for the future, whether
in or personal or working lives, we must
work from a common base.
4. Good communication is needed to es- j
tablish good human relations. We must be I
able to speak with one another in a common j
tongue in order to understand the motives |
back of our speech. As we wish to hear i
clear talk, so must we learn to talK clearly.
5. Cooperation between labor and man
agement is a two-way proposition. Both are
partners in the larger scheme of our econ
omy. When this economy becomes lopsid
ed, when it is all one way—well, we have
seen what happened in Nazi Germany and
Soviet Russia! We don’t want that!
<i. Management has responsibilities as
well as rights. The rights of ownership are
the responsibilities of stewardship. Success
ful management realizes its responsibility
toward the human beings who work for it.
7. Labor has rights as well as responsi
bilities. These rights are the same for all—
rights to work at a fair wage under fair con
ditions. But successful labor leaders know
that these rights are best obtained when
their accompanying responsibilities are well
fulfilled.
8. Production is increased and Prosperity
is achieved by good human relations Men
work best when they are not worried. In
creased production means higher standards
of living and prosperity for all—not for a
few alone.
9. Good labor-management relations —
that is. good human relations—are the only
cure for depression. We must fight poverty
and wan together. We must cooperate. We
must understand each other. Only in this
way can depression for all be wiped out.
10. Good human relations are the exempli
fication of the brotherhood of man. "Do
unto others as ye would that others do unto
you" remains the mest Way of life. It is the
basis of all religions. It is the base of all
good human relations.
