Good nature, if it lacks ptudence, may be a great misfortune, Paiste mheiren ies val esai There will be no decent world until we respect all other human life. When a person has done with learning * from vthers, he has still to teach himself. Moderation is the key to life; too much or tow-ittle food and drink are alike hurt- ful to the body. Be true to yourself for you have to live withx yourself until the day you die; you cannot-escape from yourself. The individual should support ithe churches materially in order that churches help the individual spiritually. When the war ends, it will ere S| the: United States.to decide that il always prepared for another world crisis.: «in the histoey of man war has been an expression of chaos, but it has also been a victorious struggle against chaos. The pres- cnt.war has been characterized as a war of coniusion, as if all other wars were not. | struggling to retain their colliitryy ‘and io avcid serfdom. | The United States is at war because Japan attacked Pearl Harbor and Germany and Italy declared war upon this country. | In other words, we fight in self-defense, | atver a brutal attack, instigated by an al- \ | liance of Ajxis powers. There should be no misunderstanding as to the causes which lead the United States to take offensive action, far from and Japan. Our offensive springs from ihe necessity of self-defense. We cannot sit idle in this country and permit our foes co convenience. The soldiers that we send to Australia, to’ Africa, to Great Britain and io other places are sent to fight in defense of the United States. They are -not. abroad to “fight for” other peoples. Just as we fight for ourselves, the Russians fight for them- selves, and this is exactly, as it should be. The same observation applies to our enemies, Germany and Japan. Both reap certain advantages because of the bel- ligerency of the other, but each nation is fighting for its own objectives. Neither the Japanese in the Far Past, nor the Ger- mans in Europe, are fighting for the bene- fit of their ally, although both realize ithe great strategic gains that accrue to each from the activities of the other. SPEAKING OF AIRCRAFT Many of those who are convinced that aircraft will win the war have little under- standing of the various types of planes that dive hombe: bombers, ‘obsé . t fightéts, MHédiym jqnd low altitude fighters, attack, planes, ‘medium bombers bombefs aré' atnor thegvarioys) Just to see what you know he A mili- tary aviation you can test your ability to identify the following planes in the above classifications. Here are the popular ap- pelations: Wildcat, Corsair, Dauntless, Buccaneer, Helldiver, Devastator, Avenger, Catalina, Mariner, Hudson, Coronado, Kingfisher, Seagull, Lightning, Thundet- bolt, Warhawk, Kittihawk, Tomahawk, Ajiracobra, Mustang, Boston, Billy Mitchell, Flying Fortress and Liberator. MISTAKES OVERCOME There shas been much emphasis upon the damage suffered by the ships of the “Navy at Peart mt gel and little _bublicity, a i loss of ainplanes on the ground lu and Buzon. We suppose there is some reason for the official reticence to tell us exactly how mgny planes went up in smoke and we can imagine no gain from a recital of the facts relating to the destruction of planes on the ground at Luzon, several hours after the Rearl Harbor attack. The world will be at peace when the mehace of foree is neither offered nor iolerated. To eliminate that foree,-the war is being waged and at a terrific sacrifice in human bloed, but if successful it will be worth the.cost, That mistakes were evidently. made no one can deny.
