Their com rades are not only those of the present war, but those of all the wars in and of the United States of America. "What are the ingredients, the factors and the essentials of 'such stock taking? From the first struggle, our 'War for and of Independence, down to the present, we find that the ends and goals of the struggles were not for material gains or for self aggrandizement in power or position. The content of an our wars speaks to us of a profound! yearning for self assertion, lor rugged individualism and lor free enterprize for self de velopment.

America America, became a word in the flesh and blood of all peoples who came to our shores from all countries and blended all their positive and good traits into the warp and woof of our history, giving us what we choose to call 'The American Way of Life 'The American Mind' 'The American "The Declaration or independ ence, the constitution oi tne United States, the recorded inci dents and statements of the great leaders of our Republic, all of these speak to us now; they call to us to get out of a mental, spiritual and political lethargy, so that we may re condition not only ourselves, but our youth, in the real essentials of the Ameri can tradition. 'The three outstanding factors in this re conditioning are first vision; second, courage and third, faith. These factors are essential in all walks of life, none the least of which are the Home, the School and the Church. All our efforts should be directed to wards implementing the 'family altar, the revision of our texts and curriculum in the schools and a like revision of Church teaching and preaching towards an implementation of the One God whose love should abide in all and that the brotherhood of man is global and universal.

Gcraan Planfc Can De Rebuilt, Derby Declares Skytop, June 7, (VP) The shat tered German chemical industry can be quickly reconstructed as the basis of a war machine, H.

L. Derby, retiring president of the Manufacturing Chemists As sociation, said yesterday. He sug gested Russia may be the nation to utilize this potentiality. Derby, who is president of1 American Cyanamid Chemical addressed the Manufacturing Chemists' annual meeting. Conceding a deficiency of qualified technical personnel in Rus sia, ne "presumed that many German technicians would be induced to operate "a large num ber of the newer German plants which have either been removed or will be placed in operation under Russian management." The low cost of Russian and other European labor, he added, made it "extremely doubtful that we will be able to compete" with the chemical trade abroad in view of "American high labor rates and other excessive costs." Referring to a suggestion made by British chemical manufactur ers that Germany be permitted to resurrect her industry temporarily in order to quickly reestablish German financial sta bility, Derby said that "if such a proposal were carried out, it is most improbable that at some later date those chemical plants would either be dismantled or destroyed." It seemed to him.

he added. "that England should be about the last country to make a sug gestion that would inevitably result in Germany being able again to wage a war." He predicted $500,000,000 would be spent to expand chemical manufacturing facilities in the United States in the two or three years following Day, adding that the industry is now spending more than $55,000,000 a year for research alone.
