Surely it is not the small salary, nor the honor, nor the desire to serve the people, but graft that impels | the sinister motive. Keep the rascals out. THE ORACLE. “MORE GENEROUS AND FORGIVING There ws considerable truth in the ob- servation of Secretary of State Marshall that the people of the United States are a little bit more generous and forgiving than. most people. He was speaking about his proposa! te turnover thirty-one American merchant ships to Italy. Asked by a member of the Senate whether this is not an unusual procedure toward a former enemy country, the Sec- retary of State declared that it certainly was. He explained that the United States wants to see Italy rehabilitated and that the ships involved were surplus Liberty ships designed to replace Italian ships lost while under American control. General Marshall is undoubtedly cor-. rect in concluding that the people of this country are more generous and forgiving than most people. The record of our war- faré reveals that, when the struggle is ter- minated, the United States seeks much less for itself than the usual victor. It should not be overlooked that the wealth of the United States alone makes it possible for our government to overlook repirations in connection with warfare. As a general rule, when two nations go to war, the victor attempts to make the loser pay a cosiderable part of what has been lost, The reason why this rule has not been applied in recent wars is that the extent of losses, on the part of victors, has been so enormous that payment of the full sum in reparations has been impossible. India, it seems, will be divided; the chapees of civil warfare are better than ever. Money does not grow on trees, but there are people in the world who are not yet convineed of this fact. PUBLIC FANCY We have not heard lately about the fabulous sea serpent that, over a period of many years, was “seen” every now and then in various parts of the world. But let } somebody say today he “saw” the serpent, and tomorrow reports will come from coast to coast that he had been sighted in a score of places. That condition of “seeing” is eaused by psychic contagion, which now has the country in the throes of “seeing, flying saucers.” We should have “seen” them in Key West by this time, for a flight of saucers was “seen” by a Miamian, who said they were headed in a southerly di- rection, and Key West lies southwest of Miami. Probably the saucers veered to the southeast, so that they were not visible in Key West. 3 From coast to coast, it was reported Monday, Americans declared they “saw” flying saucers or dises, but not one of the reports said anything about finding a sau- cer on the ground. Judging by the absence of such a report, the saucers must fly in- terminably. ° However, the United States Army has begun an_ investigation to determine Whether the flying saucer is a scientific | experiment or purely hallucination of per- sons who maintained they had seen dises skimming through the atmosphere. One Army spokesman, after speaking about “mass hallucinations,” added, “but we are not dismissing the possibility that it’s all a hoax.” Psychie contagion among Americans is not confined to “seeing” things, but to repeating them, too, when a thing “catches on.” The country has now pret- ty well come out of that absurdity that recently inundated it—“Open the door, Richard.” And it won’t be long before flying saucers will cease to fly, and some- thing else will catch the public fancy. The U.S. will gain nothing by sending billions of dollars worth of goods to for- eign countries in return for a debt and the loss of friends. - ‘AND PERHAPS DESTROY THE WORLD’ Atomic bombs, used against Japan, are “obsolete,” declares Chancellor Robert M. Hutchins, of Chicago University, who adds that the United States now has a stockpile of “new and improved bombs” big enough to wipe out all the world’s largest cities. The educator assumes that “we have, }at the most, three years to forestall in- nihilation.” Consequently, he adds, “we can attack right away and perhaps destroy the rest of the world, provided the rest of the wortu does not have the bomb.” This is what you might call an alarm. It is, no doubt, part of the effort of the educator to beat up support for some form of international government. He is presi- dent of the “Committee to Frame a World Constitution.” The warning cannot be entirely disre- garded, however, because Mr. Hutchins is not a firebrand artist. He thinks seriously and substantially. He tells the people of this country, very frankty, that “if we wish to be saved, we shall have to practice jus- tice and love, however humiliating it may be to do so.” He warns that “our Chris- itself in a brotherhood which alone must be sought under law.” Mr. Hutchins wants to set up a world government, with power to levy taxes and take over existing national armies. Every- thing would be settled by the “constitu- tion,” which he and his associates are at- tempting to frame. He concludes, appar- ently, that such a world government, un- der a liberal constitution, will make every- thing apple pie and peaceful. We have some doubts in our own mind. The most proctical attempt to get the na- tions into an organization, capable of maintaining peace, it seems to us, is that proposed many years ago by Clarence Streit. His plan was to unite the nations which recognize and respect certain basic rights of man into one government, so far as international affairs are concerned. Briefly, the Streit plan would duplicate the formation of the American govern- ment, with Great Britain, France, the British Commonwealths, the Scandinavian countries and the United States being the “colonies” uniting. In this area there is generally appreciation of the rights of man and the basic freedoms of life are respect- ed. Moreover, such a combination would will save us be strong enough to face any possible ag- | gressor or dictator.
