SUBSCRIPTION RA‘ES One: year (in Advance): .....2.5.:2.55..85 $3.00 OO NEOUS 209. sic soo etic ee Ss Gk 30 cents . — JUST WONDERIN’ I wonder, as in dreams we sée The better world that is to be— The happier world of peace and hope, Of justice and of liberty, —~ If in our hearts are born anew The bright ideals of our youth, To light our way along the paths Of love and constancy and truth. Recently, a letter came to my desk, in which the writer expressed fear that many of those now working and planning for a better post war world, are selfishly thinking in terms of better equipment for farms and factories, time saving devices and costly furnishings for homes and offices, and greater facilities for luxurious travel and social pleasures. \ This fear is, I feel sure, quite unfounded. Of course every forward movement has its coterie of selfishly greedy souls, whose eyes are avidly fixed upon the main chance; but the vast majority of world leaders, thinkers and earnest toilers, are aware that, “‘a new age is coming to birth.”” They are alive to its implications, its just demands and its golden opportunities for service. They have caught the vision of a world made new; not mystical and far away, but here and now. The rainbow of hope encircles the earth today; it lights the far horizons and shines against the darkest clouds. Tt is but natural for us humans to wish for better things than we now possess; better homes, finer equipment for those homes, more time for study, thought and recreation and if they are available in the post war world, wise men and wom,en will procure them and enjoy the ‘opportunities for better ie living which their use will provide. ‘9 The desire for better personal effects and privileges leads on to a determination to secure better things for our communities, cities and towns. Better schools are in demand, when the tasks of war ave ended—better play grounds and recreational centers, better roads and public buildings. The ancient Athenians pledged themselves to transmit to their decendants a beteer city ehan ehey had inherited from their worthy forebears, and from the time when our prehistoric ancestors set about to improve conditions in a world which was not entirely to their liking, men and women have desired for their children better living conditions and better educational advantages than they, themselves were ever privileged to enjoy. Above all, the peoples. of the present day world desire a. world in which the horrors and indecencies of war no longer, exist. A word of peace in which little children are not afraid and wherein the flower of youth is not asked to sacrifice hopes and plans—even life itself inorder to rectify the mistakes of older generations and the failures of all past centuries to rise above human stupidities and the gross sins of commission and omission. The fashioning of a better world—a better home for all humanity, is the task of our present generations. The dream of the ages leads on. Peace on earth with good will among men, may become an accomplished reality. We can create a better world, if we have the vision and the will to do. —A. Merriam Conner. NAVAL SCHOOL FOR SAN FRANCISCO BAY ““Do the American people think that the Pacific Ocean is going to'be important to the future of the United States? They cereainly do. The Navy thought so when it aried, failed to get the congress to fortify Guam. ‘The Navy now wants to hold naval and air bases in the Pacific necessary to protect our security. The Post agrees with the Navy and enthusiastically supports a policy for maintenance of peace in the Pacific by strong naval and air force at strategic points. “The Navy plans a post war expansion in personnel and facilities at Annapolis. “The Post feels strongly that such a major expansion of educational facilities should be on the shores of the Pacific Ocean. “The great port of San Francisco is the natural gateway to and from the Pacific. It is the great railroad terminal of the Pacific Coast. It has a vast harbor and every kind of shipping facility. The Army is using it for its principal shipments of men’ and supplies at this very moment. “Washington has always underrated the importance of Pacific Coast. The Navy has sometimes shown a lack of & imagination. ‘occasion to point out more than two years ago. Let it not delay in becoming Pacific-minded. Let it have a naval academy on San Francisco Bay. “Let half of our Navy boys get their training on the Pacific Coast. Perhaps better, let our Navy boys get half of their _ ‘training on the Atlantic Coast and half of it be on the Pacific ‘Coast.”"—Washington Post. CHURCHILL’S DEFEAT Repudiation by his countrymen of the man who saved Britain from Nazi conquest—and by saving Britain probably saved America and the rest of the civilized: world—is truly a _ world event in its portent. It means, on the surface, that the English people, the ‘most strongly individualistic people of the !ast four centuries, people who have resented intrusion on private rights by sir own government almost as fiercely as they have resentattempts at domination from abroad, have decided on an brupt turn to the left. They have placed in power the party ‘that has declared a goal of socialization of British industry, serve Bank the European phase of the war is not expected to result in a version of Twelfth to: civilian war contracts following the defeat of Germany have been generally smaller, except in aircraft, than originally expected.

Only time will make that significance clear.—Contributed. THANK ‘YOU, MR. BOWLES So we're going through it again—line up to get ration books. Food ration book No. 5 and a new gasoline A book in December. Price Administrator Bowles says both books will but set up to last from _10 to 15 months, but adds: ‘“We hope that book 5 will be the last in the series of war time ration books, and that there will be plenty of stamps we won t have to use’’——and his hopeful forecast goes also for the new gas book. Well, Mr. Bowles, a whale of alot of people have gotten sore at your outfit these tough war years—and with reason. The administration of rationing couldn't be easy; but there's been too much waste, public inconvenience and downright hardship, caused by incompetence and stupidity to be excused by most lenient critics. Yet for that cheerful thought that the end of rationing may be actually in sight, most Americans, who can get plenty mad but aren’t of a nature to hold grudges, probably will thank you—and even reciprocate with the hope that you have a long life and die in peace.—Contributed.

There is growing discussion, however, of the desirability of certain increases in wage rates, particularly in minimum rates, as a partial offset to anticipated reductions in hours of work and other curtailments in earning power as and when the labor market changes from a condition of shortage to one of surplus.
