the coming action In Europe be called
the “Liberation” rather than the “In

speaking, a military first attack—the
means to an end. Liberation denotes
the end itself.
A .Washington newspaper editorial
emphasises the different meanings of
the two words this way: ”. . . Only

after the War, when the necessities
of rebuilding the entire world's eco

Uncle Sam may be looked upon as a

investments should now be resisted

It further Is entirely possible that
after 1949 we may have some years
of severe depression which will re
quire all of our resources to overcame.
As Congress is now fast draining our
own industries of working capital,
they will soon require all of our ac-
<HHn«lated sevingSr Hr 8r unempioy-
ment and the fulfillment of civilian
requirements will also require vast
amounts of money. Hence, I trust
that a little Yankee common aense
may prevail and that we may not en
tirely expend our heritage! One thing
more: Example is much more potent
than precept. In the long run we can
do the world the most good by put
ting our own accounts in order.. This
will nqt be a selfish thing for ua to
do, but it will be for the good of the
entire world to see one nation run
honestly, intelligently and efficiently
with Justice for all and favoritism to
none.

tourist hotel, will not close this sum

a period of eight weeks, during which
renovations will be carried on In the

Manager Slade, with his wife and
son, will go north early in June, but
plan to return late In July, to arrange
for the closing of the Inn for August
and September. He will then return
north and remain in Newr England
until late in September. He plans to
be back in time to have the hotel in
readiness for the Informal opening tor
tourists and others on October 1. If
the situation warrants, the botri will
open immediately on the American

The Inn is one of the few tourists
hotels in the south that has remained
open during the summer. Manager
