TAKE CARE OF
THE DISABLED
Pfc. Jimmy Wilson, has good
reason to appreciate the generos-1
lty of Americans but, on the other
band Americans can have good
reason to appreciate the sacrifice
that he made for his country.
The soldier lost both legs and
both arms in a plane crash and
through newspaper publicity re
ceived gifts aggregating more
than $15,000. This was a splendid
exhibition of concern on the part
of the people of the country but
that concern should be extended
to all men and women who were
wounded in the wars that have
ended.
Pfc. Wilson, according to press
dispatches, in the midst of his
good fortune, thinks j of another j
soldier, now his roommate in the
hospital. He asks that the pro
ceeds from articles to be auction
ed off be given to another soldier
who lost both legs and his right
arm.

The nation faces a serious re
sponsibility in relation to its dis
abled veterans and the public
should not be misled by the good
fortune that comes to individual
soldiers who profit by the direct
ed generosity of many citizens. So
far as possible, the nation should
take care of its disabled veterans
in generous fashion, putting their
welfare above that of veterans un
hurt and far above that of the
civilian population.
Without condemning the publi
city that brought an avalanche of
gifts and cash to Private Wilson,
we call attention to the duty that
every citizen owes to all disabled
men and women. This must be ex
pressed through legislation in
Congress and the public should
at all times, demand generous
treatment for those who have
been wounded and permanently
disabled. This duty cannot be ful
filled by publicity stunts or oc
casional outbursts of generosity.
It must be a settled national pol
icy and have the support of every
American.
and rejections have been noted
frequently.
Volume of sales continue very
heavy but some markets reported
deliveries falling off. The season's
general average has declined
gradually since the opening week
of sales and is now $43.07 per
hundred.

JAPAN:
Economic Checkup
To Gen. Douglas MacArthur went
the task of supervising the economic
reformation of Ja
pan as a pnrt of the
U. S. program to de
stroy Nippon's war
making potential
and promote wide
spread opportunity
in a nation formerly
dominated by four
great business
houses
As MacArthur
bent to the task, the
Hirohito prospects rose that
Not a Pauper &e personal fortune
of Emperor Hiro
hito would be divulged, revealing
him as one of the world's wealthiest
persons. Though the Mikado's as
sets are known to only a select few,
the Imperial family maintains a
four-story concrete building com
plete with staff on the palace
grounds to keep its accounts.
Indicative of the vastness of Hiro
hito's holdings, the emperor pos
sesses stock in every Japanese
enterprise, since a bloc of shares
are allotted to the emperor by a
corporation upon organizing. Of the
300,000 shares of the Bank of Ja
pan, Hirohito reputedly owns 140.000.
Besides the Mikado, the great
business houses of Mitsubishi, Sumi
tomo, Yasuda and Mitsui possess the
greatest holdings in Japanese enter
prise, with their share estimated
at over half the total.
Under the U. S. program, steps
will be favored for the dissolution
of these politically influential insti
tutions with their grip over banking,
industry and commerce. Policies
will be pushed for a wider distribu
tion of income and ownership of
productive and sales facilities, and
encouragement given for the devel
opment of democratic labor and
agricultural organizations.
In stripping Japan of its war
making potential, the U. S. will pro
hibit the operation of industries
adaptable to war production. As in
the case of Germany, manufacture
of aircraft is to be prohibited and
shipping is to be limited to immedi
ate trade needs. U. S. authorities
also will supervise Japanese indus
trial research.
As MacArthur' staff undertook
an accounting of Japanese assets as
the first step in the implementation
of economic reform, the general or
dered Premier Higashi-Kuni's gov
ernment to institute immediate wage
and price controls and ration com
modities to head off extreme priva
tion among the country's 80,000,
000 people.
With Japanese experts figuring it
would take Nippon from two to five
years to get back on its feet, they
proposed that the U. S. sell the coun
try 250 million pounds of cotton with
in the next year in addition to 60 mil
lion pounds of wool; 8 million tons of
rice; 2 million tons of salt; 500 thou
sand tons of sugar; 3 million barrels
of oil, and S million tons of steeL
FOOD:
To Curb Output
Declaring commodity production
goals should reflect consumer de
mand rather than maximum abili

conference with farsn bureau repre

imposing miirketmg quotas to re

crops.
At the same time, Secretary An
derson joined President Truman in
assuring the farm bureau men that
the government would back its com
mitment to support commodity
prices at not less than 90 per
cent of parity for two years after
the official end of the war.
VETS:
Job Rights
Clarifying the rehiring provision
of the selective service act, draft
officials declared that a returning
veteran has an absolute right to his
former position, or one of like
status, even if it means the dis
charge of a worker with higher
seniority.
At the same time, the officials
stated that no veteran would be re

revealed that enlisted men whose
credits or sffc, as of September 2,
1945, equal or exceed 36, or who
arc 37 vears old or 34 years old
with more than one year of serv
ice, will be exempt. Also exempt
are male officers with 48 points;
army doctor and dentists with 45
points or 40 years of age; vet
erinary and medical administra
tive officers with 30 points or 85
years of age; dietitians and phys

or 30 years of age, and nurses
with 12 points or 30 years of age.
quired to take union membership in
regaining his old position, since the
law makes no provision for such
conditions as a basis for his re-employment
In handing down Its ruling on vet
Job rights, draft officials directly
clashed with the unions, which have
stood for the rehiring of soldiers on
a seniority basis, but opposed their
re-employment in preference to oth
ers with longer working records at
affected plants.
LABOR:
Fuel Threat
Secretary Lewis Schwellenbach's
new streamlined labor department
received its first real test as federal
conciliators moved to bring about
settlement of the CIO oil workers'
demands for a 30 per cent wage in
crease before a growing strike threat
imperiled the nation's fuel supply.
Early negotiations were snagged
by the union's demand that discus
sions be held on an industry-wide
basis and the companies' equal in
sistence that agreements be effect
ed by individual refineries. In ask
ing a 80 per cent wage increase,
the oil workers reflected the general
CIO aim of maintaining wartime
"take-home" pay by bringing 40-hour-per-week
wages up to the total
of the former 52-hour week.
In other labor trouble, 60,000
northwest APL lumber workers
struck to press demands for a $1.10
hourly minimum compared with the
present scale ranging upward from
70 cents, while 15,000 AFL elevator
operators and building service em
ployees paralyzed service in over
2,000 New York skyscrapers by
walking out in protest of a War La
bor board grant of $28.05 for a 44
hour week instead of the $30.15 asked
for 40 hours.
Push Fight on Polio

polio, the National Foundation
for Infantile Paralysis allotted

$4,157,814.15 for research, edu
cation and the treatment In the
year ending last May SI. :
As yet no preventive or curt

though It is generally recognized
as an infectious, communicable

GERMANY:
Occupation Progresses
Following close on General Mac-.
Arthur's announcement that no more
than 200,000 troops would be needed
within the next year " to occupy
Japan, it was revealed -that U. S.
authorities hoped to trim the post
war force in Germany to less than
400,000 by next spring and reduce
it to skeletons! dimensions within a
few years.
Disclosure of occupation plans for
the shattered Reich coincided with
reports that the co-operative attitude
of the defeated Germans will permit
the early election of local govern
mental officials with balloting on a
county and state level following.
Meanwhile, the army revealed that
It was training hand-picked German
prisoners of war to aid in the ad
ministration and policing of occupied
territory. Selected after careful
screening, the PWs are taught Amer
ica, i and German history, the Eng
lish language and military govern
ment, and also are being accli
mated to democratic surroundings.
BIG FIVE:
No Results
Failing of settlement of one im
poi'.ant problem, the Big Five coun
cil of foreign ministers meeting In
London to map postwar Europe
moved for adjournment, with possi
bilities that the creation of peace
,tretties with former axis satellites
may be directly negotiated between
the U. S Britain and Russia.
The magnitude of the task of rec
onciling the conflicting Interests of
the Allied powers In the European
theater was reflected in the difficulty
of disposing of pre-war Italian col
onics and strategic islands of the :
Mediterranean; reshaping the Ital- j
ian-Yugoslav border; drawing up
peace treaties for the Russian dom- '
inatcd Balkans, and internationali
zation of the vital waterways.
While the foreign ministers of the
Big Five were scheduled to reas
semble in November to receive the
recommendations of their deputies
on settlement of the thorny issues,
Russian opposition to French and
Chinese participation in the deliber
ations raised the possibility that di
rect negotiations between Washing
ton, D. C, London and Moscow may
be established as an alternative.
U. S. Gets New Auto

tionist of World War II, Henry
Kaiser announced arrangements for
his entrance into the low-priced
automobile field in league with the
Graham - Paige interests at the
sprawling Willow Run plant original
ly set up for manufacture of B-24s.
To effect the greatest efficiency
and economy, Graham Paige will

valued at $5,000,000 in the new firm.

ATOMIC BOMB:
Future Use
While congress worked up steam
over the future of the atonic bomb,
Pres. Harry S. Truman disclosed
that the lawmakers would be given
full responsibility for the control of
the devastating explosive.
Mr. Truman's decision to submit
the issue to congress came as Rep
resentative Arenas (Rep., ID.) told
the house that he had learned that
an even more destructive missile
than the one which razed Hiroshima
had been developed. Calling upon
the government to establish a sci
entific board to devise defensive
weapon against the atomic bomb,
Arends said one such explosive
could kill millions of city-dwellers.
Meanwhile, Senator Downey
(Dem., Calif.) asked that the U. S.
1 turn over the atomic bomb to the
I United Nations organization so that
general possession would lessen the
chances of its military development
while at the same time encouraging
further scientific research for an
adaptation to peaceful usage.
Church Warning
Meanwhile the Federal Council of
the Churches of Christ in America
called upon the government "to
state now its Intention to place the
new discovery under a world-wide
authority as soon as all states will
submit to effective controls," and
to "press for such controls."
The statement also warned that
unless International control can ha
achieved, in the short period while
the United States alone possesses
atomic bombs, it may be difficult or
impossible to achieve.

Released by Western Newspaper Unloa.
Lesson for October 7
Lesion subject and Scripture textsse
lected and copyrighted by InUrnaUonsl
Councn at BeUgtous Education! used by
permission.
LOVE FOR GOD AND LOVE FOR
MAN
LESSON TEXT Luke 10:15-S7.
GOLDEN TEXT Thou Shalt love the
Lord thy God with all thy heart, and
with all thy soul and with all thy mind;
and thy neighbor as thyself. Luke 10;S7.
"What shall I do?" The question
of the lawyer in our lesson Is a
query which is on the lips or In the
minds of millions of men end wom
en each day. They want to do right
and want to be right, but their
lives lack the direction which only
faith in God can give them.
Never does the question go more
deeply than when it concerns man's
eternal welfare, as it does in our
lesson. Always that question in
dicates that man is not able to de
cide for himself, and needs the guid
ance of someone greater and wiser
than he. This should lead us back
to God, for only He can fully answer
it.
The story of the Good Samaritan
tell ns what we must do to show our
love for God and man, and gives a
demonstration of how it is to be
done.
I. What to Do (vv. 23-28).
Tut lawyer la student of the law
of Moses, and hence a theologian
rather than an attorney) was pos
ing a question to try to entrap Jesus.
He was apparently not much con
cerned about eternal life and as
sumed that it could be obtained by
doing something.
We know that eternal life is a gift
(John 1:12; Rom. 6:23), but if the
man wanted to have it by doing,
Jesus was ready to meet him. In
response to Jesus' question (v. 26),
the lawyer gave Him what the Jews
regarded as the summary of the
whole law.
The man who can perfectly keep
that law will have eternal life, de
clares Jesus. But note that you must
do it, not just talk about it. And
you must keep the whole law, "for
whosoever shall keep the whole law,
and yet stumble in one point, he is
become guilty of all" James 2:10,
R.V.; see also Gal. 3:10).
Observe that the commandment,
so highly commended by our Lord,
concerns a true love for God which
shows in an active love for one's
fellowman.
Love is the only thing that can
save our bruised and bleeding
world. How sad it is that in such
an hour of need there is so little
said in the church about love and
it is practiced even less. It is the
forgotten fundamental of all the
fundamentals of faith I Let us begin
to preach it and practice it!
II. Bow to Do It (w. 29-37).
It is one thing to realize that one
ought to do a thing; it is quite an
other thing to do it Here we have
what may have been an actual inci
dent given by our Lord as an object
lesson of the right and the wrong
attitude toward a fellowman In
need.
1. The Wrong Attitude (w. 29-32).
The lawyer's effort to justify him
self by diverting attention to the
word "neighbor," which he felt
needed definition, showed that be
could not do the thing expected of
him.
The reason for man's failure lies
primarily in his own weakness
and inability ?o do what God re
quires, but ie also revealed in his
pitiable and futile efforts to justify
himself.
The one who seeing his sinfulness
and his utter Inability to keep God's
law casts himself on the Lord is
ready to receive the gift of eternal
life. But the one who tries to defend
his position and justify himself has
shut the door on God's grace and
mercy (see Luke 18:9-14).
The parable of the Good Samar
itan answers fully and finally the
question. "Who is my neighbor?"
by making it clear that anyone
who Is in need, regardless of race,
social position, condition or re
ligion, is our neighbor.
The priest and the Levite doubt
less had plenty of excuses for not
helping the wounded man, but let us
remember that excuses, while they
may count with men, mean only our
condemnation in the presence of
God.
2. The' Right Spirit.
It was the spirit of Christ that
made the Samaritan show a com
passionate and sacrificial interest in
the needy man. .. Only Christ can
make you and ma like that His
love in the heart is the only "good
neighbor program" that will ever
work. '
Statesmen, philosophers yes,
and the man In the street of our
day are looking hither and yon
for an answer to the world's need.
They all sense that we must have
something great, and tender, and
powerful to unite the hearts of men,
or we shall soon be In conflict
again. The next time we may well
write civilization off the globe. What
is the answer? Lovel First, a real
love tor God, then love for our
fellowman of all nations. The answer
to the world's awful problem Is a
revival of Christian faith; without
it we perish.
