Bill of | Rights if 1s are to receive the full advantage of the legislation The law nts veter the privilege of borrow- ng up ads and tracts of land used for residenc ut reguires that the land offered as security must be patented with fee simple title vested in the borrower In Alaska, however, only about 2 per cent of the land has been patented. It takes a long time to secure patent to land in Alaska. The Department of the Interior is notoriously slow in acting upon applications, and the veterans need the loans with which to build at the time they take up homesteads | and before the required period of residence on the land towards securing title has been completed.

The churches of all denominations in the country should accept this decisicn as a challenging and couragir of their essential place in the life of the American people Instead of permitting the decision to impede and impair the processes cf xalunuus instruction, so utterly are working vital to the moral and spiritual welfare and integrity | the American people, they should make it give us to the cause and spirit of all religion in the United States by a more vigorous, more instructive and more inspiring fulfillment of their own functions and purposes The church has a relationship to the American family which it would be impossible to delegate to of the public school, even if the constitutional right to do so should be unquestioned It is dedicated to the interests and purpeses and ideals and traditions and custems of the particular religious faith to which each family adheres as a matter of heritage and choice Whatever the religious faith of the family may be, the church of that faith is the instrument of its promulgation and is the holy temple to which the family may repair for instruction and seek comfort understanding and spiritual peace. The churches are entirely free under the American f government to serve the people according to their faith and choice Let the churches accept and exercise that freedom, which is so vital to their existence, with a full per- formance of the duties and responsibilities that are inherent in it There would be no reason or occasion for religious instruction in the public schools if the churches fully observe their obligations +he schools would be poor substitutes for churches at best in the field of religious instruction, for’ nearly all schools ve children of many faiths and the instruction ap able to one faith is entirely alien to another, and confusion and resentment are the natural consequen Let each church, followers, serve the purpose for which it exists, and deserve the freedom it enjoys under. the American system of government Let the churches of America do these vital things for the religious and moral and spiritual benefit of the American people and they will have the useful and life of the people which was them by the Constitution essential place in the intended and provided for of the United State After (7echuslnmnu (Cincinnati I. In the late 1930s, when Nazi Germany was stalking through Europe, absorbing small nations with much the same techniques used by the Russians today, there | were scme spectators juirer) the last. And there were others who warned that Hitler would never halt until he was stopped by somebody stronger. There cannot be an absolutely factual answer, for Hitler was nct given a chance | to reach the point of satiety. But it is a fair inference frem the histo on expanding until halted by superior force | The same question is being asked today, in re- | spect to the Soviet Union And the question singularly |is pertinent, after the easy conquest of Czechoslovakia by the Communists. But with rare exceptions, Ameri- cans will agree this time that there are no “natural limits” to the expansion of the Soviet Union. The | men of the Kremlin will stop when they confront| supmox force, ready and manifestly committed to action. This is the justification for the Truman Doctrine as distinguished from the Marshall Plan. And the 'is the basis for the general support which the Tru- man Doctrine enjoys in this country. We not only are giving military aid to Greece and Turkey. We also are committed to protect their independence and fr In fact if not in formal legalistic terms, aid a formal attack on Greece or Turkey would act of war against the United States. | If our support of Greece were withdrawn and if British troops were taken out, Greece would go tho way of Czechoslovakia, perhaps in a few weeks, per- haps cnly after a few months. But it would succumb to Scviet pressure. And the loss of Greece to the | Russian orbit would be a strategic disaster of the first magnitude, for this country.
