Some of these fortunate ones have more income than do all of the 10,000,000 refugee in Europe. In fact any one of them ' has more in one year than have all the working people of one of the conquered countries. According to Brigham Young, Herbert Hoover and a hundred others, it is this centralisation . of wealth that is killing democracy and endangering the future of America, It is this system that the juggernauts of war are breaking down in Europe and the world. The most powerful and destructive influence ever known is ordained by destiny to bringdown, Samson like, the pillars of the temples of t i One of the finest touches that the Son of Man gave to his religion of love was when he said: Suffer little children to icOme unto me, for of such is the kingdom of heaven." In all the world's history there has never been any philosophy that can stand a comparison with what is expressed in these few noble words In the light of this what manner of men are they who deliberately make orphan children by the millions; who bomb chil Irens hospitals and orphanages; who send them frightened and crying to wander without parents, with out means and food in the cruel and merciless world of today? To show one aspect of how wealth accumulates while men decay," let us look at the ten highest salaries paid in this country. Countway, of Levy Bros., Soap gets 469,369 a year; Watson of International Business Machines, gets 453,440 Claudette Colbert of the movies, gets 426,944; Bing Crosby gets 410,000; Irene Dunn gets 405,222; Grace, of Bethlehem Steel gets 378,698; Charles Boyer gets 375,277; Wallace Beery gets 355,000; Cary Grant gets 340,625. Some of these men have 30 to 40 suits at a cost of over 100 each. Some have hats that cost 100. Some of the women have a hundred dresses at enormous costs. Some wear fur coats that cost from 10,000 to 75,000 each. Many of them spend more for a single dinner than a working man earns in a month. Within a stones throw of each of them are starving children, whose parents never have sufficient income to keep the wolf away i r hS i i: i ; i : t, r; ;( i, . - ! i How do the murderers of children compare with that great soul who said the words quoted above, and with that other great soul who said, There's nothing on earth half so holy as the innocent heart of a child?" We plead with the barbarians of war to spare the children. What the war makers are doing to children they are doing to Christ himself, for, as he said, "Inasmuch as ye do it unto one of the least of these, ye do it unto me. And the measure they are meting out to the children will be measured to them sooner or later. They cannot escape it. These millions of children who are fleeing in fear, despairing and starving, will come up as witnesses in the day of judgment and the reckoning will be terrible. The world has yet to be won to Christianity the pure and undefi-le- d Christianity of the Master.

Well they may cry peace, but there will be no peace. Let them understand that peace haa fled the earth and will not return until after Armageddon. No man or group of men, no party, no nation or group of nations will be able to command or restore peace until that great battle haa been fought. Put thia down for reference. i. :i I ! . il! 'm - I, ir i. ;:!t Progressives should study the Republican platform. Thia platform appears to ua aa giving very little encouragement to them. We have a high regard for the candidate, Wendell Wilkie. We like hia courage, hia resourcefulness, hia ability and personality, but he and the platform are quite different. On the mat- ter of relief it turna the problem over to the states and favors the cash dole, somewhat reduced. It favors the abolishment of WPA. On the matter of assistance to old age the platform may mean anything or nothing, but infers that it favors abolishing it. It is silent on public health, aid to the blind, help for dependent and crippled children, health insurance, etc. It continues the old system with a vengeance. Something better should be offered to millions of progressive people in the country. Perhaps the candidate can make up for the short . comings of the platform. i' i' 1 1 i -.. v:,t Wings of the Dragon. A dramatic new serial of a plot to conquer the world.
