JUST WONDERIN’
I wonder how this world would seem
Were all her vexing problems solved
And there were nothing we could call
Abtruse, or complex, or involved,
If all the Gordian knots were cut-,
And all the tangled webs unWound,
If all the questions had been asked
And all the proper answers found.
] wonder. what the little: races of mankind would do,
were they to find themsel#es in a world that had been finished, perfected and given its final polishing off — a world in
which human evhievement had reached its ultimate goal and
every resource both mental and physical, developed to its utmost capacity.
Try to imagine this hysterical modern world coming to
such a state of serene finality. No more problems to vex the
souls of men, no more driving tasks to be performed, no more
battles to be fought, no more discoveries to be made, no more
heated presidential campaigns, no more questions to be asked, no more answers to be given; nothing to do but press buttons and call upon the forces of the universe to do our bidding,
At first glance, the idea seems alluring, at second glance,
it is found to be deadly. In such a world, innocuous destitude
would become epidemic. A world in which there was nothing
to do? Awful! A world in which there were no Edisons, Burbanks, and Dr. Carvers, no more need for further explorations, experiments, and inventions; a world in which _ there
were no incentives, inspirations, no further services to be rendered, no ideals to urge us onward.
If we were to find our world suddenly transformed into
such a paradise of inactivity, I'm sure we wouldn't like it. For
that reason, we may be devoutly thankful that the processes of
evolution are slow, and that it will be many a long aeon befoe the planet upon which we dwell, will even approach a
state of finished perfection.
, It is good to know that humanity is still upon the outer
fringes of “wonders still to be.’’ There are vast and infinite
realms of space which at some future time will be explored by
larger and better telescopes, than any we have at the present
time, and microscopes of the future will disclose unimaginable
and infintismal creatures of which scientists have not as yet
dreamed. There are frontiers to be explored, much tearing
down and upbuilding still before us, many reforms to be inaugurated—the inhabitants of this little planet will not find
their occupations gone for millions, perhaps billions of years to
come. After the war is over, there will be work for all; there
will be work for returning soldiers and civilians alike; and it
behooves us all to turn to the arts of peace and employ them
in the gigantic tasks of reconstruction which will then confront us.
j Uncle Silas says: “Schickelgruber has small reason to
gloat even if his dark friend, Mussolini, has escaped from the
island upon which we were told he had been interned. Napoleon escaped from Elba, but Saint Helena, like the Royal
Canadian Mounted, got her man.” —A. Merriam Conner.
IMAGINATION AND CAUTION
Out of the maze of postwar plans that have been given
wide publicity during the past year have come many impractical as well as many practical suggestions. Viewed from the
standpoint of a businessman who knows what it takes to develop and produce-new products, many of these are stimulating and some-have reverse effect.
Commenting on the postwar situation, Wilfred Sykes,
president of the Inland Steel Co., says:
7 **Men of imagination have turned to postwar planning in
groups that now number about 200. They stimulate me. And
they sometimes make me mad.
“They stimulate me because they also see what can be
done eventually with the new postwar products. And they
make me mad because they don’t seem to realize that it can’t
all be done right away—immediately—as soon as the Japs
are licked—if not sooner. :
. “I can't go along with them because the men . represent
are not planning for someone else. What distinguishes their
planning from all others is that they are the men who must
make some plan work.
_. “If the men who launch the goods are wrong, they go
broke. And then eveybody is out of a job. They have a responsibilitly for the successful application of men, materials and
money. — :
~__ Mr. Sykes goes on to say that while experimentation and
research never cease, and that while industry will place new
products on the market the minute they are practicable, it is
_ nevertheless true that when the war ends and people will need
to replace their worn out radios, refrigerators, and washing
_ machines, they will be able to get the 1942 models ‘with im‘provements. i

ITALY SURRENDERS
With Italy in abject and unconditional surrender, one
wonders whether Mussolini remembers as well as the rest of
the world those boastful words he screamed from the Palazzo
‘Venezia balcony just three short years ago.
‘ ‘Fighters of land, sea and air’’! he bellowed to his throng
st Blackshirts gathered below. “‘Blackshirts of the Revn and the Legions, men and women of Italy, of the emind « Kingdom of Albania listen! There is only one

shakes the Nazi military hold on the Balkans and encourages
those nations to follow Italy's example.
It is a great military victory. But to most American
homes its implications are more personal than that. It means
the saving of thousands of precious young American lives that
would have been sacrificed in the bloody fight across Italy. On
every score it is worth great thanksgiving.
UNIVERSITIES IN UNIFORM
As reservoirs of both youth and knowledge the colleges
and universities of the country were among the first to don
the uniform of total war. The blue of the Navy andthe khaki
of the Army. became the campus colors of almost every Amcrican institution of higher learning.
The thrusts of war toppled liberal arts from the campus
throre they shared with science. The enemy we faced could
were men trained to operate the complicated apparatis of
modern war; men equipped to go into laboratories and bring
forth new andsuperior weapons of war; men able to use the
magic of physics and chemistry to replace the rubber and other
natural products denied us by enemy conquests.
All-out emphasis on science is essential to survival in
war time. But in peace time as Germany and Japan have proved, nation which divests itself of cultural and ethical education
tansforms its people into beings more akin to beasts than
men.
It is gatifying to note that here, in meeting the needs of
the Army and Navy, training programs, the institutions of
tional aims. Once victory is won, liberal arts again will share
the campus with science. As the president of one large California university put it, the schools’ “‘civilian integrity” ‘will
be restored. e
POSTWAR BUYING BACKLOG
A sign of the times is the new, unadvertised shortage
which the U. S. public will soon find in safety deposit boxes.
White collar workers and wage earners clutching War Bonds
in their hands have swarmed into banks and trust companies
in recent months and rented safety deposit boxes for the first
time in their lives.
Safety deposit box occupancy is at an all time high; rentals since January . , are up 31 per cent over the same period
a year ago. Yet there is no tendency to hoard currency. The
total of money in circulation is rising steadily.
This is most significant. People’s valuables today consist
largely of war bonds and other long range savings. That
means, in terms of postwar planning, an accumulated buying
power to back up the great demand which will exist when tne
war ends. It means that people will be able to pay for the
things industry will produce. It means greater employment if
industry, unhampered’ by unnecessary governmental restrictions, is given-a chance to satisfy the demand.

The capitol expects the returned
78th ‘congress to lay down a new
clear cut manpower policy. A majority of the congressmen appear to be
determined to take positive steps toward eliminating existing confusion
which is making: it difficult for industry, agriculture, and other segments of the national economy to
plan their operations. intelligently.
Inextricably tied up with the whole
manpower picture is the question of
Army and Navy quotas, which in
turn leads to the problem of drafting
pre-Pearl Harbor fathers.
Influential legislators have voiced
their opposition to the induction of
these fathers, ‘terming such action

exhaustion of every other possible
source of manpower for the armed
services before permitting the induction of fathers. To achieve their objective, they feel it is necessary to
enact over all manpower legislation
that will establish fixed procedure.
Informed sources envision the contemplated legislation as follows:
temporary postponement of the draft
of fathers; a thorough congressional
investigation of the manpower resources of the country; enactment of
a modified Austin-Wadsworth Compulsory Manpower Bill to provide a
system of job priorities among various industries based on their importance to the war effort.
In championing the Postponement
of the father draft, most congressmen realize that they must furnish
the armed services, industry, and
agriculture with an alternate plan.
Many lean toward a program requiring the drafting of able-bodied men
without children, between the ages
of 38 and 45. and a reexamination of
the availability for limited service
many men now classified as 4.F.
Some congressmen believe that after the facts have been established
the picture will look this way: it
will not be necessary to drafit prePearl Harbor fathers; sufficient combat troops will be available from the
men now under 38 in the armed
