CALIFORNIA ¥ The Gold Center MONDAY, JULY cs 1945, THINKING OUT LOUD By H. M. L. Tite guns thunder and the lightning of war strikes and kills. The battle moves on leaving in its wake maimed and shattered humanity. Medical corpsmen move up and carry away those whgge battle is over. Most of the wounded will recover and Some will return to S$ across the desert “of water, to live as ‘best they may with what remains to them. War’s cost is so tremendous in human treasure that many of us have ceased to think of its cost in cash. Nothing could be more stag-" gering to the human mind, or more corroding to the human spirit, than the thought of these hundreds of thousands of dead who have paid their share in one sum, and of the wounded, while they live, who will pay in daily installments, the cost of this war. It is brought home to us here in ‘Nevada City, just as it village, city and rural community throughout the: land, when © our neighborg are stricken with a fateful telegram, ‘‘we_ regret that war is the most horrifying of human experiénces.

Thus we debate the issue. Of course there are many to gay that that is not the issue. That rather than suffer the Japanese to seize the wealth of the world that elongs to us and our peaceful neighbors, we took up:arms to beat them off, to stop their plundering, rather than to preserve ourselves. We need not have budged from our prosperous land nor raised a hand in defense of little nations an'd little peoples. We need have not have saved the English people from destruction, nor given vital aid to the Russians, who defend their way of life, which many of us do not like. Yes we could have deserted our comrade nations who are marching with us on the road of civilization, and permitted the jungle ‘beasts to devour them, one by one. “Quite true we could have staid out of the war. But when we had survived along with the conquerors. Germany and Japan, what would’ then — heppen to us, perhaps, ‘a century, producing guns instead of refrigerators and motor cars, devising defense against the clouds of winged death let loose on us over either ocean, more accurate and more deadly than V bombs now used, or at long last, we could do battle with a Chinaman’s chanlce of winning. For how could we live and (breathe in the same world with the Hun supermen and with the Japanese who regard themselves as infinitely superior to the Huns. In a sense they are, for death in battles to them is such immortal glory that no stelid German ever envisioned it. Thus balancing the dreadful cost . of besting these enemies of humanity, against the black abyss which they intend even now to th us. when they can, the price we must pay is not too, high, The agony we endure, the good red blood we spill in sacrifice, the é6weat, the cruel road we travel, and the awful parting with loved ones who perish on land and seat and in the air—that is the price, and we pay it. Only, and this is the uniiversal prayer, Good Lord, let this be the last time we descend into Gethsemane. Let us henceforth strive mightily for justice and _ righteousness if among natjons.Let us be as courag. ‘jn to eous in peace as we have been war, ready at moment’s. notice ' strument, ition Army SALVATION ARMY OFFICER INVITES COUNCTLMEN (Major F.

Some people advo-. cate raising the price of gold again because higher wages and _ prices have increased the eost of mining and they do not realize that raising the price of gold was the cause of} the higher prices and wages. Prices do not go up instantly, and the salaries of school teachers and county officials are the last to be raised.

The value of 20.67 dollars was equal to that of 1 ounce of gold previous to 1933, now 35 dollars have the same value as.1 ounce of gold. ARTHUR B. FOOTE. LIEUT.
