Those familiar and distressing sights—the shrunk- en limbs, the twisted bodies, the awkward locomotion, the crutches, wheelchairs and all the other reminders of this terrible scourge—are in themselves the strongest argument for supporting the work of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. Every cent contributed to this organization works for victims of infantile paralysis. It is used for care and treatment, for research into the cause and pre- vention of the disease, for emergency aid in epidemic areas, and for therapists in modern techniques It is the determination of the National Founda- ning doctors, tion, founded by Franklin D. Roosevelt, that mfanule‘ s shall be conquered. The people of America share in that determination, and through contributions to the March of Dimes they take an active part in the unrelenting fight against the Great Crippler. Remember, the March of Dimes campaign begins in Juneau today. Give generously to a worthy cause. How Many Unemployed? (Cincinnati Enquirer) The difficulties of planned economy are vividly illustrated by the slight error of 3,000,000 now ac- Xknowledged by government “experts” who anticipated 8,000,000 jobless by early spring. They now affirm we are to have only 5,000,000. This is good news, to the extent that it is credible. But since the prognosticators in Washington were 60 per cent high when they took soundings last October, we must recognize the pos- sibility that they may still be 60 per cent high, or | possibly 60 per cent low. Actually, one cannot be too cynical about the error. President | in Juneau as Second Class Matter. { 1411 | nurses and physlcz\li It is quite impossible for a statistician, resting com- fortably at a steel desk in an office building on Con- stitution Avenue, to be quite sure whether most lady welders were going back to housekeeping after the | Okinawa operation, or were going to look for other ijobs to keep the family income filled out to wartime dimensions. The forecasters of course had no means of knowing i that the excess profits tax would be lifted as of January 1. So they could not appreciate last October the incentive of corporate emplcy to retain workers through the calendar 1945. Nor can they now mal any but a rough guess as to what corporations will tdo when the incentive to maintain inflated pay rolls ) suddenly stops on New Year’s Day. The comforting fact is that unemployment in the United States as a whole—persons without jobs who actua want jobs—is startlingly small, Counting everyone who might conceivably take a job if a suitable one were thrust on him, we might get a total of 3,000,000 unemployed currently. But this includes a good many lads who were working a seven-day week iat hazardous employment in various exotic places overseas—and who are quite content to take things easy for a few months now that they are back. The net unemployment is certainly less than 1,500,- 000. In a period when many companies are in the very thick of reconversion, this is indeed a gratifyingly low figure. It augurs well for the future, provided the | strikes do not paralyze so many key industries as to throw out of work great masses of men and women who want to work and earn a living. Spiritual i ustgnance (Washington Star) John D. Rockefeller, junior, has given a million dollars for religious reconstruction. The field of work thus endowed is that of Europe particularly, but the need for a spiritual renaissance all 'round the earth is conspicuously apparent. Much of the suffering which mankind has endured in the past thirty or forty years traces back to the materialistic conceptions which, be- | ginning nearly two centuries ago, replaced the faith which made bright the times somewhat arbitrarily called “medieval.” Millions of people were taught to adjust their lives to expediency. Traditional codes of {ethics and morals were mocked and ridiculed by mis- | taken “philosophers.” It gradually became fashionable | to be agnostit with regard to the doctrines of Jesus as well as to Jesus Himself. Political and economic notions jof purely adventurous character were permitted assume the value and quality of law among all classes { of people. The meaning of individuality was perverted to |in the interest of buildimg whole systems of slavery | for the masses. It became dangerous to disagree with | the theories of “security” which the architects of totali- | tarianism invented out of such defiance of essential reality war and revolution were certain to arise. The first global con- flict brought forth another planetary struggle of even vaster proportions. Multitudes died that freedom might urvive. But it was not for liberty alone that blood | and tears were shed. Freedom must be employed con- | structively, if it is to be worth its costs. The citizens' of the nations that fought for liberty are justified in wanting its natural fruits. To meet their need the San Francisco Charter was designed and the United Nations Organization established. But they will fail,’ ‘as other, earlier endeavors of the same sort failed, {unless they are sustained by popular idealism based on the noblest wisdom the sun ever has looked down i upon—the wisdom of Judaeo-Christian tradition Mr. Rockefeller is but one man who réalizes the | compelling demand for a rebirth of religion. Manv others will join with him in the cause of reconstruc- ition to which his latest benefaction is devoted. The | number of helpers, however, must be legion, if the work ' fully educated, for geniuses belong travalan succeed.
