Mc- Caskill and Mrs. M The time is approaching when peace proposals from the German war lords will begin to be heard. Coming from a country which, by its acts of barbarism, has repeatedly demon strated contempt for the rules governing warfare and the welfare of every other nation, no peace proposals can be en tertained by the Allied Nations. There have been news items, and recent rumors, show ing discontent amongst some of the smaller countries which are satellites of Germany. Their desire to get out ot the war on their own terms should be rejected. The Atlantic charter rightly lays the groundwork for the terms which the Allied Nations will accept, to wit: UN CONDITIONAL SURRENDER. Taken at its face value, that means the terms must be fixed by the victors. Germany and Japan are guiltv of inhuman acts of baj- aelties dictators recorded since barism surpassing any cruelties ^ davyn of htsi^ry. Unconditional suxrend^ of their mili- / taiy and naval forces and punishment of the leaders will, not suffice. Every means Iror making war must be taken from them. To be effective, unconditional surrender must be followed by complete destruction of all fortifications, land and air weapons, ships df war, and the last vestige of the means of producing war materials. Peace terms need not be unjust or such as to destroy the people of the countries. The terms must be en forceable and effective. The smooth and secret acts of in creased militarism, which had their ^ception under the rule of Hindenburg, where it became po^ible to build up annually a reservoir of German officers from the l()0,000-man army allbwed under the Versailles Treaty, must be preveilted or foundation for another world war w^l have been laid. There are those amongst us who talk in terms of “hard peace,” others “soft peace.” These people would do well to concentrate their efforts on devising ways and means actually to prevent aggression by dictators. The difficult problem is not punishment—which the Axis must not escape—^but pre- Ve^on. Let those who preach there will always be wars devote their time and energy in an attempt to prevent the future construction and manufacture of the weapons of war. Unless the Allied governments include, as part of the terms of unconditional surrender, some plan which will prevent rearming, they will have won a hollow victory— exactly similar to that Which followed World War 1. Civilization can not endure in a world where there is constant fear of war. The Allied Nations now have that solution—sufficient force to enforce peace.

He learns that all men have burnt toast for breakfast now and then, and that he shouldn't take the other fellow's grouch too seriously. - He learns that it doesn't pay to be a sensitive soul—^that he should let some things go over his head like water off a duck's back. He learns, and how he learns, that he' who loses his temper, always loses. ^ . He learns that carrying a chip on his shoulder is the easiest way to get into a fight > He learns that the quickest way to become unpopular is to carry tales and gossip about others. He learns that buck-passing always tumb out to be a boomerang and that it never pays. Oomptm9» Lm§ Mutd Cttf.
