T. WARD, Trustee. "'Wuly 6-13-20-27 to dominate the world. The Japa nese military debauch the people they conquer. Never had I seen opium so openly sold and used in the District City of Kashing as under the Japanese regime. Nor had there been so much licensed prostitution as that organized by the Japanese miltary officials. Again I say, they are not fit to rule anyone. They an not worthy. Their trusteeship of power is be ing taken from them. God uses human instrumentality. God is using the military might of Amer ica to crush the evil militarism of Japan. The task is not and will not be easy. We are pitted against a cruel, crafty, ruthless foe, a foe with astounding stamina. It will cost us, as expressed by Prime Minister Churchill, 'blood, sweat and tears'. I know some thing about the 'tears' of it. My only son, eighteen years of age, a Marine Raider he volunteered for that service was killed in ac tion on Bougainville Island No vember first of last year. Many other American parents are giving their splendid sons to this task of putting down evil militarism in the world. It takes youthful strength, daring and versatility to fight this modern war. We are proud of our gallant young soldiers and honor them for what they are accomplishing. "But, after the military task is accomplished, what then? Say, if necessary is order to accomplish the military task, we exterminate ten millions of the military of Ja pan, what are we then to do with the sixty millions of common peo ple of Japan. Some people say, 'Exterminate the whole Japanese race!' No! Such an attitude is unreasonable! We must HELP the common people of Japan. "2. Help Civilian Japan Indus trially. When Japan's empire is taken from her and Japan's peo ple are restricted to their small strips of islands they will not have sufficient materials and foodstuffs to maintain an adequate standard of living. They will be scarcely above a starvation level. We should allow them raw materials and purchase their commodities under proper regulations and on a basis of reciprocity that they may purchase foodstuffs and other commodities necessary for ade quate subsistence. Such a policy is humane and reasonable. "3. Help Civilian Japan Poli tically. After our armies have en tered the Japanese Islands and have crushed the military govern ment of Japan, we shall not want to rule or to police Japan indefi nitely. The alternative is to help the common people of Japan form a proper government. You may re call the statement made by Gener alissimo Chiang Kai-Shek in his New Year broadcast that after Japan has been purged of militar ism and the aggressive elements, then let the people of Japan have their own government. What magnanimity on the part of that great Christian leader of China is thus expressed! Such a policy is not only generous; it is logical as well. "4. Help the Japanese People Spiritually. Such help is imper ative. Many people are asking: 'How can we trust even the com mon people of Japan with their fanaticism, their conception of di vine destiny that they are to rule the world?' We must change their thinking and actions by new edu cation and true religion. The Japanese people were educated in to their wrong and fanatical way of thinking. They can be educat ed out of such thinking under Christian leadership. Fundamen tally, they need a change of heart, following which there can be change of conduct. We must send them the Gospel of Christ,, the Power of God which can trans form character and actions, which can bring- to the Japanese people integrity of character. On that basis, integrity of character, there can be established a Japanese gov CO morecupstf. tipniDOund! pARTOFTHt HOTOK ICED eminent which we can trusty On that basis, integrity of character, there can be peace in the Far East. On that basis, integrity of character, there can bo peace throughout the world. "5. After the above steps have been taken, W Should Forgive the Common PeopU of Japan and Receive Them as Equals. I do not make this statement lightly. I have seen the Chinese suffer under the Japanese. I have also suffer ed. But that is the Christian at titude to take. You may have heard Madame Chiang Kai-Shek's speech when she visited this country. She urged that when the militarism of Japan has been put down, when the war is over, there should be no bitter ness. What a wonderful Christian spirit is thus revealed! President Roosevelt in his Christ mas broadcast said in effect: when Japan's militarism has been put down, and after we have helped the common people of Japan to form a proper government, let us then receive Japan as a respectable member in the family of nations. What a splendid statement by our President! Challenge to the Christian Church "This final word. I gave my son; you are giving your sons to put down evil militarism in the world, but our sacrifice, and theirs, will have been in vain if we do not accomplish a further task, that is, by means of the Power of God, through the Gospel of Christ, to help the nations of the earth to become 'respectable members' of the family of nation. What a chal lenge to the Christian church to send the Gospel to the ends of the earth in a larger and fuller way than ever dreamed of before! Some one may say, 'Such a program would be expensive.' It would not be nearly as expensive as what we are paying now in money and personnel. Take the alternative. If we are not decent ourselves and do not help our neighbor na tions to be decent, the result will be calossal armaments, regimen tation, and loss of our freedoms, as we wait for another disastrous con flict. Our present military task will be accomplished. Of that I am confident. What of the more criti cal task before us, our spiritual, task? Are we big enough for such a task? Can we accomplish it? By God's help we can." Tiro 'Hi orrow Brothers In Service A r i ' nra'SentMf aBaaAaMHaaMkMrMHrMrirMM IK- ' I ; r s I v- - nl If " -v MR. AND MRS. G. F. MORROW, of Waynesville, R.F.D.

But maybe you do need a reminder that the cost of electricity has been sliding deep down. If yours is an average household, you're getting over twice as much electricity for your money today as you did 1 5 years ago. And 1944 government figures show that the average price has continued to ease off a little even since war began. That fact ought to be music to your ears! Getting prices down and keeping them down is one of the electric industry's great est achievements. 1 It took a lot of planning, perspiring and practical business management to do this job in wartime. All our people played a part. CREDITOR'S NOTICE . . f All creditors of the Estate of W, T.
