Charles Matlock at war is a good thing? It seems to me and this may be shocking that the best way to end war is to invent all the ter-roiizing gadgets and guns possible, to conjure up all the poison gases in existence, to mold out the most deadly shells and bombs. It may be that even the threat of using them on a world-wide scale will be enough. Maybe not; some of them may have to be used. But when the war is brought to our fireplaces and altars, our schoolrooms and stoies, it may be that we shall declare in unison that it must stop forever. The women may stop it even if the men have not enough sense.

And they could. They, most of all, visualize the terror and suffering among non-combatants in modern war; it is not exactly a coincidence that 75 per cent or more of the gallery visitors at the Congressional neutrality debates are women. They Soma of the world's greatest statesmen and public figures are speaking out in favor of a "humane war." To poor, dim-witted mortals like me it seems incredible that intelligent men and women can conceive of a "humane war." They contend that scientific warfare has advanced to such a terrible state that we should return to the "civilized combat" of Charlemagne and Hannibal the humane kind where a man merely thrust his sword through an adversary's heart and watched him bleed to death. Personally, I prefer gas. I know what they are saying War must be waged in the old way so the women and children will be spared.

Has there ever been a war which spared women and children? Why became they widows and orphans if they were really spared?

Until 1940.

when the major revisions in the Act will become effective, there will be no change in the provisions for benefit payment to the heirs or estates of workers who have died," the manager explained. never existed nor ever will exist. Perhaps I appear cynical, but why attempt to ease the effects of war? Why even attempt to spare the women and children? If man is to be eternally cursed by regular struggles which destroy the best men and all that the best men have built and thought, why bottle up the poison gas and muzzle the death ray? Would it not be better to use our most efficient methods to end civilization? Why prolong the pains of extermination? If, as many persons believe, war is an inevitable human heritage it is merely being merciful to end the so-called human race as quickly as possible. But I do not believe it is inevitable; why should I believe it is when I have never gilts. LESTER FOSTER, Route 2.

to be able to save the world. As long as foolish men march in step to military airs a pretty sight, you will agree and march off to the trench-arenas; as long-as foolish men. jovial in one another's company, regard war as an inevitable adventure; as long as foolish men "go away" to battle, it shall be with us. But let war deposit our youngsters among the debris of the schoolroom, our women among the wreckage of our homes, and our hard-earned businesses among the smoking ruins of our town and we may come to our senses. Then, war will be stripped of its glamor and stand revealed for what it really it.

When Greeley saw the editorial he tcld his friends that such advice expressed his views, even though he had not written the article.

Mr. Hitler: Stalin Always Liquidates His 'Friends SOME months ago the Soviet Ambassador in London, Ivan Maisky, said: "We arc not sentimentalists like you. We arc thinking only of Russia, not of humanity." The barbaric truth of this statement was shockingly realized by the recent mating of Red Russia and Brown Germany. The marriage, of course, was one of convenience; but it was Josef Stalin, not Hitler, who was the seducer. For was tne seoucer.

The entente with the Third Reich was Stalin's greatest step in the direction of world domination, according to Lyons. Vulture-like he can stand by watching Europe kill itself off, then step in for the pickings. A long war is his great desire: there will be no strength left to resist him. In lusting for power, in their disdain of human life.

Hitler and Mussolini are but mild imitations of the Russian strong-man. Stalin has no counterpart: whereas the. other dictators think of conquering thousands, he counts his victims in millions. It is a known fact that one of the Soviet concentration camps has more prisoners than all the Nazi camps put together. And, as a former Red Army officer says, "Not in four and a half years of World War did the officer corps of any army sustain such losses as the Soviet armed forces did in recent purges." America must become aware, warns Lyons, that no nation is interested in making the world safe for anything, whether it be democracy, Fascism, or Communism.

Self-interest, and that alone, is the motivating force of a nation's behavior. Pacts are but scraps of paper. Honor is dead. Guns and brute force have supplanted ideologies. Mrs.

Josef Stalin feared: had he not achieved power by the simple process of playing up to his enemies and then liquidating them in a moment of weakness It's the old Stalin game.
