SCHEIBERLING IN STATEMENT ON VICTORY lmencan I.egton Com- mander Calls on All fo Give Prayers National Commander Edward N. Schelberling of The American Le- glon, consultant to the U. S. dele- ghtlon at the United Nations Con- ference in San Francisco, Calif, issued the following statement on victory in Europe: “Once again free men and free- dom-loving people have triumphed in the blood and death of Europe, and for that the hearts of our World are grateful today. But we cannot forget the valley of the shadow Frough which, for the second time in & quarter of a century, we have passed to achieve this victory. We cannot forget the American men w"o will never return from Europe. We cannot forget the broken bodies af our wounded. Foremost in our minds on this day of victory in Europe must be the determination that it must not happen again — that is the purpose of tie frer nations gathered at San PFrancisco. “Out of this great conference the foundation for peace must be laid lj@w that the cannons roar no long- er in Europe. There will emerge from present obscurity many organ- igations and individuals who seek a soft peace, who would have America retire again into the false shell of isolationism. It is our duty for the sake of future generations to warn against this false and dangerous doc- trine. The forces of the Axis pow- ef§ must be kept in restraint. This 18 not a doctrine of hate but the coumon sense that prevents the criminally insane from attacking in- nagent victims. “Nor must we allow ourselves to be diverted even for a moment from the other grim deadly war which is #till being fought in the Pacific. Not ufitil the forces of Japan are com- pletely overthtown can we truly say thgt freedom and liberty are safe i1l this world. . V-E Day must bring no felaxation in our war against this savhge, treacherous foe in the Piolfic., The war must be carried on with Tegoutiled effort on the home Iront afd on the battle front until vigtory is achieved. 0n this V-E Day the members of fhe American Legion and Aux- jaty join with all Americans in ouf expression of gratitude to ighty God for bringing the ggle in Europe to a victorious We ralse our prayers and our s for final victory and for the ss of the San Francisco Con- “to ‘the end that war, a reiic of Barbarity, may be banished from thie earth and that the peace may be just &hd permanent.” NEW OFFICERS FOR ORDER, RAINBOW The regular meeting of the Juneau Rainbow Assembly was held Saturday afternoon, with Miss Bet- ty Bonnett presiding.
