It even affects animals and crops and unborn babies. _ It affects China, Japan, South Africa, and the whole Western Hemisphere. It affects the Esquimos, the Pigmies of Africa and the lazy inhabitants of the South Sea Islands. It affects every one of 2000 nationr laws-which will grant-to gov ernments the power to declare war, only if their country is threatened of modetoJ^-^^^clt®*!' Some say that the people of dic tator countries would be unable to force their governments to pass such laws. Any people can force’any gov ernment to pass any laws they wish passed, provided those people are sufficiently aroused.

All “red tape” possible was cut by the orders. Visas and necessary travel papers will be on hand at all times, it was announced, to admit at least 10,000 more children than shipping facilities can accommodate. The visitors’ visas will authorize the children to remain in this country for at least two years, upon* the fil ing of an affidavit hy a recognized charitable corporation that they will piTRnini cTAUPfi not become public charges, and the kubbuk ii4:Ajaro establishment of a $50 tiust Sizes — Quick Service each child. “The plan,” the announcement stal king, president or chieftain can hold out against the wishes of his people —provided those wishes are suffi ciently violent. When this war is over, and deso lation reigns; or when the next war is over and greater desolation reigns, j or surely when the following war I is over and Hell reigns—the peoples I of the world will say to their rulers: human beings alive today and “From now on you nm the business self to abide by the results of the j government—and we wiU de- Demc-cratic primary. , PHIL D.
