THE WAR AGAINST WAR
Not in many years have the spirits
of men of all lands been so troubled
as today. War and the threat of war
hangs over the lives of hundreds of
millions of people . No human fore
sight can predict the future. The
world is living under the shadow of
dread.
In times like these it is inevitable
that there should be a great revival
of interest in spiritual matters. Be
lievers in the goodness ana power of
an all-^seeing God are praying for
peace, praying that their lives and
those of their children shall not be
sacrificed on the altar of war.
There is no other hope of enduring
peace than that held out by the be
lievers that somehow the spirit of God
will take possession of the hearts of
the ambitious, greedy, selfish politi
cal leaders and ruler* who would
plunge the world into war to gratify
their personal vanity or to enlarge
the material wealth of themselves or
their subjects or followers.
In the international race for su
periority in armament, we are prone
to overlook the one impregnable form
or armament which would insure hu
manity against war. As former Presi
dent Hoover lately pointed out in an
eloquent address, the hope of the
world is in Moral Re-Armament as
offering security such as armaments
of steel and gunpowder can never af
ford.
Moral Re-Armament is no new
thing. It is merely a modern name
for the essential, fundamental truth
that the causes of human misery and
of war lie in the hearts of individual
men.
A new awareness of this truth is
moving millions today, bringing hope
into the lives of individual after indi
vidual. One by one, men and women
are experiencing a rebirth of the
spirit. Under the slogan of Moral
Re-Armament, a great and growing
army of peace is breaking down the
barriers of hatred between nations
and races, between individuals and
classes. Only when rll those barriers
are swept away will the shadow of
war be lifted.
The oldest musical instrument the
world has known is the flute. This
instrument, back in cave-dweller
days, was fashioned from the hollow
leg bones of birds and other animals.

COMMENTS
A one-horse farmer—can he make
a living? Most of us have fancied
ourselves as one-horse farmers. We
have figured it all out and proved—
to ourselves— that there should be a
good living from a farm of one horse
or one mule.
The possibilities vary with the sec
tion where the farm may be situated.
For example, in the South there may
be cotton; in some other parts there
may be tobacco; in other sections
there may be other products. Let us
plan a one-horse farm, remembering
that in a dozen South Carolina coun
ties there might be one, two, or three
acres of tobacco; in others watermel
ons and asparagus; in another pota
toes and vegetables, etc.
How large is a one-horse farm?
That depends on the kind of crops.
Assume a tract of 30 acres, with some
forest in addition, if possible. Let us
set aside five acres for the home,
flower garden in front, vegetable and
truck patch in the rear, stables,
barns, small pasture, orchard—also
to the rear, quite appreciably to the
rear. That leaves 25 acres of land
for farm crops. According to ruling
percentages, the cotton allotment for
this place would be about six acres.
So we start with six acres in cotton;
then twelve acres in corn, with peas
in the middles, five acres in peas for
hay and soil building, and two acres
for sweet potatoes.
Cotton is a one-crop affair, usually.
The soil is prepared in March and
the seed planted about the middle of
April. Cotton is picked in August
and September. Our farmer shoula
be able to break up his land in Oc
tober and sow small grain for graz
ing. Cows, mules, and hogs could
graze it in January and February
and until it must be plowed for corn
the following spring. That grazing
will help the stock, particularly the
cows. The small grain will serve as
a binder to prevent land washing.
Corn may be planted and harvest
ed during the same months as cotton
and the land may also be planted to
small grain for grazing. ■ Five acres
were devoted to hay. That would
be broadcast about the middle of
June and harvested about October.
The hay land could be used for
wheat (1 acre) and oats (4 acres).
The wheat and oats would be allow
ed to mature for the family and the
stock.
Two acres might seem a lot of
land for sweet potatoes for a one-
horse farmer. I am thinking that
he might sell his “Firsts,” eat his
“Seconds,” and feed his “Thirds” to
the hogs. What shall we alternate
with sweet potatoes? The land may
be used for potatoes from May until
September, digging the potatoes be
fore frost. That allows two acres
in Australian Winter peas or rye.
What of the yield in pounds or bu
shels on this, plan? 6 acres of cotton
—5 bales. That is very ordinary
farming. Any “book farmer” will
tell you that. I think a real farmer
might make 7 bales. That would de
pend on seed, soil, and fertilizer.
That is his principal money crop—
perhaps $300, including seed. He
might sell 40 bushels of potatoes at
seventy cents a bushel. For himself
—and stock—the farmer might have
600 bushels of com. That would pro
vide for the family, the mule, two
cows, ten hogs fattened for butcher
ing, and two brood sows. I am as
suming that about ten pigs will be
sold during the year. The farmer
will also have his flour—and to

TWO SIDES TO EVERY
QUESTION
By Lytle Hull
WORLD WAR MEANS
COMMUNISM
There appears, at the moment, to
be a lifting of the war clouds which
have hovered over Europe for so
long. It is during these periods of
emotional lull that we should ponder
deeply upon the relation of America
to the nations of Europe, for in
times of excitement and emotional
stress the brain does not register as
clearly as under normal conditions.
There are legions of honest think
ers who believe that the destiny of
American Democracy is dependent
upon the present “status quo” in the
Eastern Hemisphere, and are convinc
ed that an Axis Victory in a Euro
pean war would mean the death blow
to our present form of government
and to our personal liberty.
They have many bases for their
argument, among them that our for
eign trade would cease to exist if
the British Empire was disrupted or
weakened; that our Monroe Doctrine
would be shattered, and, principally,
that South America, Canada, and
eventually the United States itself
would fall prey to the victorious
Fascist-Socialist Powers.
Were these contentions as sound
as a clever talker or writer can
sometimes make them pppear, there
would be just one answer from the
American people, and that answer
would be—instant military alliance
with the European Democracies (and
even with Russia)—war. to the fi
nish at the next aggressive move of
the Fascist powers. That answer
would be the only sensible one, for It
would be far preferable to risk the
evil hazards of war and its after-
math than to suffer the certain loss
of all our liberty and all the blessings
which liberty bestows.
The complete dislocation of every
economic, social, and political factor,
as it now exists in Europe, would,
without question, cause temporary
confusion and disarrangement in our
foreign relations and affairs, but our
struggle to assist in the rehabilita
tion of the wrecked nations of Eu
rope, and their demand for the essen
tial requirements toward this reha
bilitation, would build, for this
country, world markets never before
dreamed of.
The question will arise—“what
will you pay us with?” The answer
can be found in economic history.
Where there is no gold there is its
equivalent. The equivalent of gold
is produce: produce of the soil and
of the factory. Barter and Trade is
not a new experiment in economics.
Of what possible assistance, on the
other hand, could we be, if we tpo
had destroyed our economic strength
by participation in a devastating
world war? We are not a race of
giants which can sap its vitality and
still remain unimpaired.
Now let us consider those other ar
guments for our participation in a Eu
ropean war. They are based upon the

assumption that the Axis Powers, in
the event of their military victory,
would engulf, politically, the beaten
nations, and would then utilize the
armed forces of these conquered peo
ple to subjugate the Weste-n hemi
sphere.
Is it possiple to conceive that one
hundred and eighty million Germans,
Italians, and Japanese could hold in
subjugation the other one thousand
six hundred million people of one
hemisphere and still have the leisure,
or t'.e inclination, to “take on” the
additional two hundred million on the
other side of the world?
But let us stretch our imagination
to the uttermost and grant for the
sake of argument that Germany, It
aly, and Japan should endeavor to
divide the world between themselves.
The echo of world war guns would
not have died before they would be
at each other’s throats over the di
vision of spoils.
How short a period had elapsed af
ter the last war before we trembled
in fear lest England and France
should tear each other to pieces over
their clashing territorial claims in the
Arabian Peninsula.
Neither Europe, nor the world,
will ever be subjugated through mili
tary conquest. France tried it in a
very limited way and inevitably fail
ed. England tried it in a small way,
outside of Europe proper, and today
the British Empire is a group of in
dependent nations allied with each
other for physical and economic pro
tection.
There is only one medium of “world
conquest,” and that is a social and
political theory, such as Communism,
which knows no geographical or na
tional boundaries. This enemy of
mankind is a mental disease of suck
potent force that, by comparison, the
armed might of Fascism is as a child.
This is the enemy which WE must
fear; this is the horror which must
keep us strong, alert and free to act,
should our sister nations (God forbid)
throw their wounded bodies into her
rotten clutches. We will be the only
power on earth which can save them
then, or war in Europe means Com
munism in Europe. World war means
world Communism.
