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 ‘with news of the Japanese surrender and the atomic bomb together with Russia's declaration of war, are of the past—subjects to be taken up later and ‘studied in a more leisurely manTruly, a new age is coming to birth and we cannot doubt 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 humanity assume these crushing responsibilities and make of this human habitation the one world of brotherhood—the one home in which all may share and in which none shall be deprived of this inherent rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness > Be Why not? Oh men and brothers, from the primordial 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 off divine event toward which the whole world hastens,” the coming of a day illumined with the light of understanding and dedicated to the peaceful tasks of useful and ordefly living. the sacred ties of brotherhood. Look away to the far horizons. conquer the new frontiers; under the dawning light of this new age. ‘“‘there’s no such word as fail.’—A. Merriam Conner. 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 with her major allies against the last of the axis conspirators . wide range ‘iod.
