JUST WONDERIN’
-] wonder why . wonder,
It seems a waste of time
To ponder any fact just now
And put one’s thoughts in rhyme.
So startling are each day's events,
So fraught with strange potential,
That wondering about this and that,
For me, seems non essential.
. -wonder at the suddeness with which the daily current of
events swung into high; one may mark its burdens upon a
calendar and stand amazed, sometimes aghast as they swirl
by, but, as for digesting them and appraising them with any
degree of surety, that is another question.
A few days since, the atomic bomb staggered the imag‘ination with its powers of death and destruction; but before
we had time to analyze its place in a world which is longing
for peace, Russia swept.into the Pacific war and many of us
became busily engaged in revising our old opinions and formulating new ones. Today, as . write, the radio is throbbing

that it will be a better and a happier age than this old earth
has ever before known. The order changes and it is our
task to replace it with that which has been molded near to our
heart's desire.
Never before was there such an age as this, or one in
which humanity passed so rapdily from one valley of decision
to another. What to do with Germany? What to do with the
atomic bomb? How to deal with the emperor of Japan? How
to make the security charter function? These and a myriad
other problems~confront this present generation and above all,
we find ourselves entrusted with the problems of peace. Can

slime of unknown ages, up and on through the centuries, you
have made your. way to this ““wondrous motor age, led by a
dream that brightened with the years—a dream of “‘that far

A HOUSE DIVIDED
Recent news dispatches told how two groups of Americans with duties vite! to success in the mounting air offensive
against Japan, put in a day.
One dispatch, from Guam, reported the feat of 54,000
Yanks—9000 pilots, bombardiers and gunners and 45,000
ground crewmen—in putting 820 B-29s over five Japanese
ities in a single bombing sweep. This was a simple triumph
of team work, courage, grinding toil and sleepless devotion
to duty.
Another news story, from Cincinnati, reported that 27,000 workmen, employees of an Ohio plant building B-29
bomber engines, were idle on strike for the third successive
day. They had completely halted production despite urgent
army planes for the precious engines.” . '
Scant wonder that indignation and hostility toward organized labor is growing among millions of men in the armed
forces—great numbers of whom were staunch union men
when they left to fight—in proportion to the rising epidemic
of war time strikes. It is true that many of the strikes are ‘‘wildcat” unauthorized and denounced by union leaders. Many
others, however, are purely inter-union contests for power, in
which feuding labor dictators place personal ambition above
patriotism, and labor’s own houce is divided.
This is an ugly situation. It is ugly to the thinking, responsible trade unionists, to the public, and above all to the
fighting men and their families who have blue or gold stays in
their windows. Looking ahead to the post war era when all
Americans should work together in goodwill and mutual respect on reconstruction of the nation’s economy, it is disturbing thought that all too many labor leaders are risking separation of the house of labor from the respect and faith of the
rest of the American people.—Contributed.
STALIN’S WAR ON JAPAN
Trying to see through Joseph Stalin’s foreign policy is
like trying to see through a San Francisco fog. He fought nazi
Germany when he was attacked and had to fight. He opened
his war on Japan when that smashed, groggy nation could be
‘no menace to Russia. His long term reasoning may bemuse
the shrewdest diplomate though they probably won't admit it.
Whatever his reason, his action is welcome to the U. S. and
Britain, for it should mean a speedier victory and lives saved.
It seems fitting, too, that before the end Russia should stand

less than last year. Right now, we are facing our
worst fat shortage since the war began. To make up
for this staggering loss, the government is depending on
the women of America—and particularly women on
