Three months If there is any time when mothers deserve a special day set aside to do them reverence, it is this war year of 1945. Ten million mothers in our country, and counties* million* abroad, today have ton* or daughter* in uniform, moat of whom are far away from home and many of whom are in danger. The mother at home, who can do nothing but hope and pray for the protection of their children, are certainly going through a peri od of tilent fear and tenaion which mu*t be even harder to bear than the (train of being at the battlefront. The men and women gathered together in San Francisco to set up the framework of an organization which can keep peace in the world, would do well to center their attention on the viewpoints of mothers for at least one day. Although these representatives from all corners of the world may speak different languages and hold dif ferent philosophies, they all know that the mothers of their countries are united in the belief that no dispute between nations is big enough to go to war over. ARE BLACK MARKETS INCURABLE? 9 We hope the congressional investigation of black markets will help to erase this blight on American patriotism, Out we are not too hopeful. For the black market—particularly in meat — seems to have reached the stage where it may be incurable Only by em ployment of an enforcement army of thousands of trained inves tigators does it now seem possible that black markets might be So far the investigation* indicate that the only other answer is the elimination of price ceilings or at least the raising of price ceilings. Of ceurse that would help—but in many case* it would also heln to bring on dangerous in In many cases there probably should be adjustments of price ceilings so that all those who handle the sale of a produet get a fair profit from it. In other cases it has been proven nec essary to have faster working OPA machinery for making the quick seasonal adjustments to avoid losses of large accumula tions of perishable foods. A TOAST TO AMERICA Maybe you don't knew it, but Jap leaders are drinking toasts to America. They count Dn us to let down. They think we will get tired. But there are 35 million of Japs working seven days a week, 14 to 16 hours a day. In addition, 400 million conquer ed slaves producing raw materials, finished weapons of war and foodstuffs. And even if tired, they can’t let down. At the present rate of attrition, the Japs have material enough for many years -of war. They stand ready to sacrifice 10 millions of men and fight for 50 years to hold on to their ill gotten gains. It’s a long way from Germany to Tokyo, 14 thousand miles and we must bridge that huge gap. That’s going to take hard work, money, sacrifice. The 130 millions of Americans will need to buckle down to the serious business of recognizing the Japanese as an enemy that is just as determined as we are to win this conflict. Winning a war against the world’s second largest empire, with 400,000,000 conquered slaves to do its bidding, ir another story entirely from capturing or recapturing island outposts. We have just begun to contact the main army of the Japanese. And to go all out against them we will need to be prepared. Our job on the home front is to be prepared to back up our boys. The mighty Seventh War Loan affords the opportu nity. Bigger and more War Bonds in the hands of the public will give support to the all-out war effort against Japan in the months to come. Set your own quota according to your ability —then meet it! PULLING OUR BELTS IN ! I Throughout the >Var we have heard a lot about the neces tion indicate that probably the greatest “sacrifice" we will have to make is to pull our belts back to normal. For the fieuret for 1944 show that our civilian food consumption—in spite of havinc 10,000,000 of our normal population fed by the government — was nine per cent above pre-war levels. We may not be able to get just the food we want at the time we want it, but as a nation we certainly have been eating in record quantities. Of course the main reason for this is the increased income of so many people which has raised the na tion’s standard of living. If prosperity continues after the war, when food of all kinds will be more plentiful, there is no doubt that food consumption will soar to record heights. Poor people like good food and plenty of it just as much as hich people like good food and plenty of it just as much as rich k««P P»c*. ‘—And Set the Stars of Glory There’ mmr Washington, D. C. (NWNS) — Having anticipated the end of or ganized resistance in Germany, War Production Board plans have for some time now been concen trated on supplying the needs for victory in the Pacific. The fear still abounds here that the public, both in the United States and Brit ain is minimizing the job to be done to win the war against Japan —but the orders placed by the ar my, navy and marines make it clear that our military leaders have no illusions about a. quick or easy victory. There are a tot of unanswered questions about the J-.panese war which will determine its length and the extent of fighting which will be necessary to win it. The chief questions are: Will Russia join the Allies again.-t Japan? and will the Japanese continue to fight It may be that President Tru man right now knows the answer to the first question but whether Russia does or does not enter the war the uncertainty makes it nec; essary for Japan to keep a large portion of its military might on guard. Thus even the threat of Russia fighting Japan is proving to be of definite help to the Allies. There are some analysts here who thing the Japanese will give up soon—that they already know they are beaten and do not want their nation destroyed as Germany has been destroyed. But others predict that the Japanese, by refusing to take the offensive on any front show that they are planning to carry the war on indefinitely in the hope that the war-weary Allies will In ally settle for better terms than unconditional surrender. | * * * Kumors persist here that Presi dent Truman will soon make a number of changes in his cabinet Each time he has an engagement with a possible candidate for a cabinet post the reports of con templated changes start up again. They have been so persistent that most newsmen agree that they must have some foundation. A major test of how much Pres ident Truman will be involved in politics is expected soon when he will have to decide whether to re appoint David Lilienthal to anoth er nine-year term on the Tennes see Valley authority. Mr. Lilien thal, who has been chairman of *the TVA has conscientiously re fused to let any political consid erations influence the authority’s work. This has disturbed many of the politicians in congress, who have long seen a Mg opportunity for juicy bits of patronage m the vast undertakings of the TVA President Truman has not indicated his intentions as to the reappointment. But since it is agreed that there can be little criticism of Mr. Lilien thal’s work outside of his un willingness to play politics, the President . action on this appointment will be consider ed a clear test of whether he is apt to use his high office for political advancement of his party. With the nation hoping an^ praying for the success of the' San Francisco conference, atten tion has recently been brought to speech by Supreme Court Jtstfice Jackson in which he gave practi cal Interpretation to our aims. Pointing out that the world can not be remade ‘‘by a single docu ment, or a single conference, in a single decade, or even in a single century,” Justice Ja< kson conclu ded : “But unless there can be devis ed instruments of adjustment, adjudication and conciliation, so reasonable and acceptable to the masses of people that future gov ernments will have always honor able alternative to war, all other peace keeping machinery will fail. It is the clear purpose of the San Francisco conference to de vise such instruments. Six** Inch Sermon I ,t Rfiy. ftOURJ K HAW* t The Tragedy of the Northern Kingdom.

Wicked rulers foreign alli ances and widespread idolatry brought the ruin of the kingdom after a tempestuous history of two centuries. Scattered among the provinces of the Assyrian em pire the people disappeared as the “Lost Tribes.” Only the prophet of God rose preeminent in the northern king dom. The sudden and brief ap pearances of Elijah, his wild hab it, great strength and endurance, his swift changes from exaltation to despair, and the splendor of his passing have all given a peculiar charm to his name.
