matter of the second class in the postoffice at ee
The Easter season is here—season of hope everlasting
and faith eternal. What will it mean, one wonders, to people
abroad in the grips of deadly war?
The philosophy of war-bitten countries, they say, changes from day to day, from week to week, as life becomes more
precarious. Courage remains among a courageous. people, but
moral] aiid social values fluctuate with the surge of war.
“Criminal activities among youth,” reports a social survey committee, “‘in blacked-out London today is on the increase—just as adult crime is intensified by living conditions
geared for war, not for peace.”
“The tendency among youth particularly, in this war as
in the last, ‘is toward a philosophy of ‘living ‘just for today—
for tomorrow may not come:” You hear it too often to be com-'
fortable about it.” =
‘Yet+-when Easter dawn tips a million towering crosses

Regardless of the outcome of the current European war
—whether Britain wins, or Hitler finally emerges victorious
—President Wilbur is doubtless right in saying that this is the
dawn of the Pacific era.
much blood-letting. The nations of the Atlantic are on the
downgrade—and Europe is ‘like an’ imperious old man’ who
‘wears a topper and spats in the grand manner, but leans on <

The future of our own nation —and the future of the
world—tlies on the’ shores’ of the Pacific. This is a new world
comparatively—a world still strong in men, in wealth, in natural resources. Here-the drama of the future will be played.

And if the creed of Liberty

out across the waves to the land from whence ‘she came. do
her clear eyes fill with tears? Does she lift the torch of Freedom higher and yet higher, so that France may see and again

That may seem like a fantastic thought; but events are
daily transpiring in lands other than: our own,’ which ‘might
well move a heart of stone, bronze, or even cold; ‘implacable

enslaved peoples and‘ our hands must lift high the ‘torch of
Liberty, so that the stars of hope may be enkindled and the
road to peace be soon discerned.

And no wonder he protests angrily
at the help the United States is
throwing into the balance against
him, If he were logical he would
not protest, for he accepted all the
help Italy could give him up to
the moment Mussolini entered the
war.
It would seem to a layman, with
little or no knowledge ‘of military
Strategy, that Hitler’s best course,
if he hoped to win, would be to
concentrate all efforts on shutting
off supplies to Britain. The more
fuel he uses up in the Balkans, in
North Africa and in Norway, in
fact the more war supplies of every
kind he uses to maintain his grip
on subject populations along the
great circle of his conquests, the
less he will have to throw directly into the vital ‘business (for
him) of severing Britain’s life
line. In other words, the more he
lays waste, the less he has to lay
waste with.
