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

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.
