THE SWORD MUST FAIL j
There Is a lot of eye-wash in the
current discussion of the "uncon
ditional surrender" policy of the
United States in regards to the
war against Japan.
The waf Was brought about by
Japanese militarism, espousing the
principle that the sword could
rule supreme. The essense of our
present poliey is that those who
took to the sword shall renounce
K
The Japanese militarists set out
to dominate the Far East by
brute force, convinced that, if
they failed, they could establish
such force that the western world
would negotiate a peace. Every
line of propaganda that issues
from Tokyo about the great cost
defeating' Japan, etc., evidences
the faith of the militarists that
the sword Will yet buy terms.
Faced with this fanaticsm, this
faith in the power of arms, it Is
essential that the present conflict
absolutely break it, once and for
all. The only way this can be ac
complished, as we see it, is to com
pel the rabid militarists of Japan
to acknowledge the impotence of
their weapons by abject and ab
solute surrender.
It may be that it will cost more

PACIHC:
New Stage-
As U. S. warships prowled along
the Japanese coastline to lob 2.700
pound shells into industrial installa
tions on shore, and British carrier
units joined up with the Americans
to send naval planes against the
enemy homeland, Adm. Chester
Nimita declared that the Allied at
tacks opened the pre-lnvasion stage
of the PacHIc war.
Tightening of the blockade around
the Nipponese islands to prevent re
ceipt of raw material from outlying
territories, and destruction of in
dustrial facilities for producing mili
tary goods, are the objectives of the
new phase of operations, Nimitx
said. Recounting an old proverb that
the lifeblood of Japan is the water
of the sea, Nimltz stated that the
Allies were working to control that
lifeblood.
Appearance of the British units
heightened the tempo of the attacks
on Japan proper; With one of their
carriers, one battleship, two cruis
ers and Ave destroyers announced
in action, and indications that others
were participating. As the U. S. and
British carrier planes conducted
pin-point sweeps over Nippon, ship
ping and ferry facilities linking the
coal producing island of Hokkaido
with Honshu were hammered by
American naval batteries and kleel
mills on Honshu were heavily hit
GLOBAL PACTS:
Senate Acts
.Even while President Truman
conferred with Prime Minister
Churchill and Marshal Stalin at the
historic meeting in Berlin, the sen
ate acted on vital measures de
signed to assure the security of the
new world and also to estabiisn a
strong economic foundation.
Foremost, of course, was the Unit
ed Nations security charter, drawn
ur ly 800 dtlc grates from SO coun
tries at the palatial San Francis
co opera house. Less popular in ap
peal, but equally Important in scope.
were the Brctton Woods monetary
agreements creating resources for
trade and reconstruction, and the
increase in lending powers of the
Export-Import bank to stimulate
commerce before the Bretton Woods
pacts can be Implemented. '
Overwhelmingly approved by the
senate foreign relations committee
after five days, of public hearings,
the security charter was sent to the
upper chamber for ratification with
the committee's declaration that
though the new organization cannot
prevent war, it will develop the ha
lts for international collaboration
necessary for peaceful settlement of
disputes.
Previously passed by . the house
without major opposition, the Bret
ton Woods monetary
agreements ran in
to stiff opposition in
the senafe, with
Taft (Rep., Ohio)
leading .the fight.

conditions for surrender, -drawn up

terms include surrender , ofall air,

GRAIN TRADE:

" With corn supplies remaining tight
OPA made ' its first big move
against alleged Irregularities tn the
grain trade by announcing an inves

ces Of tylng-in sales of corn with

Under such 'dealings, , It was
charged, corn is offered with the
understanding that barley and other
grains -will be taken above market
prices. At the same time, OPA re

Announcement of OPA action
came as traders predicted .little

processors. Along with corn, rye
stocks tightened, the visible supply
in the U. S. declining to 8,000,000

RAIL RATES: y;
Protest Revision? ; f 'v
Declaring that the Interstate Com
merce Commission's order increas
ing railroad class freight rates 10
per cent In the East and reducing
them a like amount in the South
and West was unsupported by evi
dence that previous tariffs were un
equal and unlawful, 10 northeastern
states petitioned the ICC to recon
sider its action. '
Applying only to so-called class
rates on articles on which-volume
Is not sufficient to command a com
modity tariff, the new rates effec
tive August 30 are designed to
eliminate freight differences work
ing to the advantage of the highly
Industrialised East- ' -Only 10 per
cent of all freight moves under class
rates, however, and southern inter
ests seeking parity declare that the
ICC's action Is but the first step In
an equalization program.
While the 10 northeastern states
fought the revision of class rates,
five southwestern states declared It
would result In "non-discriminatory,
non-preferential and non-prejudicial"
tariffs. The states requested
minor alterations to the order. ;
REDEPLOYMENT:..,

' In Berlin tor the Big Three -conference,
pres. Harry S. Truman
called upon available civilian work
ers in the U. S. to fill 88.000 rail
road loba to heln a Deed the redenloy-
ment of troops and materiel to the
Pacific and assure an early end to
- the Japanese war. ':
: Though the army has furlough ed
4,000 experienced railroad man to re
lieve the crisis, they represent but
a fraction of the carriers' needs, the
President said. Most urgent need Is
for 12,000 skilled workers such as
trainmen, electricians, carpenters
and signalmen. '
Meanwhile, ; the war manpower
commission granted, 17 western rail
roads top priority in the inter
regional recruitment of workers.

GOLDEN TEXT I wUl eatabUsh my
Corenant between ma and thee and thy
aead after thea la their, generations for
an overlaiUng covenant, to be a God
unto thee and to thy seed after thee.
Genesis 17:7. '. "".";'.','.'";';:'.'.''". .-
God keeps His promises. , It may
have appeared that God had forgot
ten, but He had not, and in our le
son we find Hun ready to fulfill His
promise. ;:. - .
We need to learn the lesson of
patience, of awaiting God's time tor
the carrying out of His purpose. He
Is not in any hurry,, but He always
arrives on time. If we travel life's
way with Him, all will be well.
Abram found the fullness ot God's
blessing becsuse he sought His will
for life and service. We find him .
L ' Walking In God's Plan (w.
1, 2). - - . '
The place of blessing is not In
some cloistered refuge where the
circumstances of Ufa and its prob
lems cannot disturb us. It is sjut
In the daily walk with God, in the
home, the office, the shop.
What is God's plan for the life of
the believer? Just, whst He told
Abram: "Be thou perfect" . Noth
ing less will do, for He Is a perfect
God. His law Is perfect (Pa 19:7).
He requires a perfect obedience to
the perfect law (Jamea 2:10). This
was His atandard tor Abram, and it
can be no less for us.
How shall we attain to it? Only
tn Christ can we meet and fulfill
God's plan of perfection.
That means that as followers of
the Lord we are to seek His power
for the outworking of His grace In
our lives. We are not to be content
with a Christian life on a low stand
ard or lacking any of the graces
which God can give us.
We, too, must recognize that if God
la to give us His full measure of
blessing, we must walk in accord
with His will, walking tn the light
as He is In the light (I John 1:7).
Much of the failure and Impotence of
present day spiritual, life la ex
plained by the willingness of Chris
tians to live Imperfect lives.
tt, Talking ef God'a Purpose (w.
a-8). . 'v.- -r
AbVam tell on his face tn adora
tion and worship. In reverence and
humility, he put himself In the place
of subjection and service.
What happened? "God talked with
him" (v. 3). This man was ready
for a holy conversation with the
Lord. His attitude of body was only
the -outward expression of an atti
tude ot heart which was right So
God and he talked about the purpose
of the LorJ for Abram'a life.
He had been Abram, which means,
"exalted father," that is, of a family
or a tribe: now he became Abraham,
."the father of a multitude."
' This' Is the first of many Instances
in Scripture where a name was
changed by God to mark an Impor
tant event, or a change of heart
For example, Jacob "the supplant
er" became Israel, "a prince with
God" (Gen. 32:28); Simon became
Peter, "a rock". (Matt' 18:17. 18).
The letter to the church at Per
gamos. speaks of the one who over
comes In Christ's name as having a
new name written ' which no man
knows save he that receives it (Rev.
2rl7). "The believer on Christ Is a
changed man, k new creature,
whether his name be changed or hot
God wants to., change men has
He changed you? . . .
The promise is renewed to Abra
ham. It was to his "seed." that is,
his descendants. He took the bless
lintf from God's hand, accepting
things that as yet were not, as
though they were. God is' able to
make them come to pass (ct Rom.
4:16-18). V- -
IIL Trusting God's Promise (w.
9, 10). .:;V":Aw'-: ,'
Down through the ages every maa
in the great host to descend from
Abraham was to bear the outward
token that he belonged to the cov
enant people. aTbie was to be a sym
bol ot snd to lead the recipient
into that attitude of heart which
would bring outward rite into ful
fillment as an inward reality.
V Observe that after Abraham, , it
was always ths parent who thus
brought the son into the covenant
This speaks of the jpa rental respon
aibility to bring the little children to
the Lord, and It also gives us the
precious assurance that God "la in
terested in ths children snd ready
to receive them at the hands of par
ents, taking them into His own ten
der care. ' , .
Thus down through' that genera
tions, Israel was to show their faith
in God. their ' assurance that He
would keep. His promises to them,
snd their consequent eagerness that
their families should be counted into
the covenant with God.
Christ la ready and eager to un
dertake tor our children. His grace
Is sufficient not only for us, but also
for those who come after us. His
promise is to our "children's chil
dren" (Ps. 103:17, 18), "of such as
keep His covenant" Let us trust
Him, and put ourselves and our chil
dren In that place of obedience
where He may bless us and them.
