David Keith Bldg., Dial SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, FRIDAY, June 5, 1942 Published by C. N. Lund $1.50 PER YEAR Prepare for Peace we 1 for War Just suppose that the nations were put in a position to work for peace and spend for peace like they are working and spending for war What a world men might make. Imagine each country putting all their billions and all the strength of their manhood and womanhood into works that madft for human welfare, for beautifying the cities, for making real homes for the masses, for bettering the schools, for breeding better men and women, for more parks and playgrounds, for justice, equality and abundance, for making conditions in which nat-ions would compete in righteosness, and vie with each other in doing their utmost for human welfare. May God speed the day when war and poverty may not only be done away with, but when every last relic of these twin monsters of in-sanity and barbarism are buried forever from the view of the generations to follow. Great Cities Corrupt to Core j The great cities of the country, Salt Lake and Ogden ex- - cepted, are seething with vice and corruption. Underneath the thin surface veneer there are conditions that should shame our civilization, A story of appalling conditions has just come out of Detroit where matters were thought to be about right. One man, Judge Ferguson was appointed to make an in-vestigation of graft and corruption. He examined thousands of witneesses. He brought to light a $20,000 000 a year gamb-- ling and prostitution racket, and various political graft and corruption rackets. He indicted 500 men and and women, am-ong them the mayor and a dozen other city officials, and scores of polieemen, among them the one sent to protect him. Of the ones he brought to trial 94 were convicted. It can be done-ev- en by one able, honest ma:. Verily, the great cities of the land Are as ripe in their ini- - quity as were Sodom and Gomorah. The reckoning is near. iINHlW"illllllllMntMIMIIIialtHINIIlHIUIMnftHMWIMnaNUWM The Goal Beyond "I pause a moment in work I proudly do for my country and lift my heart in confidence and peace. I see a world united; a world healed of hate. I see the golden wealth of earth poured forth in abundant sustenance for all. I see men doing their work without fear, and hear a mother sing-ing a lullaby for a son who will never be called to war. I see little children laughing and playing and feel in my lungs the breath of their freedom; for they are free! "I hear the throb of giant motors and know that airy (battalions soar above, bearing not bombs but free-soule- d men to deeds of right and duties of peace. I hear a universal language spring from the lips of all the peoples of the earth. "I see that all the stuff of heaven is always here and that world united is the goal beyond the physical victory of those Jtiong ones who fight for the right. I see that we are already united in a common inheritance of divine possibilities " Elizabeth Barr Haas Love, and Money Lavished u Dogs A noted writer of some years back gave expression to the following significant words: "Give me the mother love and the wealth that is lavished on poodle dogs a"d I will redeem all the waifs in the world and transform them into noble men and women " And this humble editor says: Give me the money and the power now being used for war and I could bring into being the New Heaven and the New Earth,with the New Jerusalem built up to the last detail. We could do this but for one thing t ie hearts of men. Nothing can be done until there is a change in the hearts of men. And this can only come through the things of the spirit .... m jp EDITORIALS (CONTINUED) Karl G.

False phychology robs them of the true science of Their intellects are stuffed, memories crammed and m oral feelings starved. They are trained for rivalry, not for cooperation. They are trained for war, not for peace. They are made money grabbers instead of character builders. They are taught about everything but themselves. They are train-ed to sacrifice human lives for profits Wrong education fills penitentiaries with youni; criminals. It costs as much to banish criminals as to run the government and their lives are not adjusted as they should be. Crime is America's biggest business. Major W. H. Drane Lester, assistant to J. Edgar Hoover, said : "Juvenile criminals form the greatest single problem confronting us today. Out of every six persons arrested last year for all types of crime, one was either a boy or girl between the ages of lh' and 20." If all education and other human activities were based upon the true science of mind used by Horace Mann and Dr. Auto and Aviation Pioneers Meet , , ! 111 .vfekil' ,- -' ; u mmmwr IflPllBlii?

Believe Themin Politic S'Believe Them in Religion A1J people believe in the political wisdom of Washington ftnd Franklin. Wonder if they will believe also in what they said about religious matters. They should. Hear them. The great Father of our country said: "It is impossible to govern r ' the world without God and religion," Benjamin Franklin said in the Constitutional Convention: "Our government can only end iu despotism and corruption, if men lose sight of the great Jaw of Jesus Christ." They spoke the truth Giv heed The War Against Wickedness We made a mistake in calling Mr Hess's name of the war The War of Wickedness. It should be The War Against Wick-edness. This name carries the full meaning and purpose and end of the war. Nothing can be added to that name and ev-en though the name of Armageddon has been given to the fin-al battle, tbe name originated by Neighbor J. A, Hesss should stand The War Against Wickedness. Cooperation "The marvel of the twentieth century is the quiet, unher-alded growth of the consumer cooperative movement. Hund-reds of thousands of people of small, means, without fanfare, have joined hands to serve themselves. They buy their day- - ,j to-d- needs through their cooperatives, and through them they are getting title to the good .things of life.". .,',, Cooperative support for the Voorhis-Wagn- er bill a coop- - erati ve measure has compelled Democratic leaders of the House of Representatives to discuss, serously, the whole problem of ; post-wa- r plaining. And in all the discussions yet held, the ablest of the leaders have agreed that the Voorhis-Wagn- er bill j presepts the only sound planning program yet offered. A Great Loss to the State It is all together too bad that the state has to lose so good and able a man as Mark Anderson of Provo, retiring head of the State Fit-i- i and Game Commission. A man like him should not be just a voice in a commission of three or more men, be shold have full reign for his program, unhindered and After trying out the work for a few months, he knows more about politics than he ever did, and it is doubt- - ful if he will want any more political experience. First of Wooden Troop -- Plane Fleet t -W r.'JrS SITxv V "; In order to solve the metal shortage in plane production, piano and furniture men have built a plane made 90 per cent of wood. Fleets or these huge wooden troop-plane- s, capable of carrying men and munitions at 200 miles per hour, are nearing reality. Below you see these experts making the plywood sides. On top is the completed plane. All the time, every minnte that the enemy nations were building up their war machines there were ghosts and specters standin by unset-n-, saying in subdued tones: "Ye build and build without knowing that ye are building for your own de-struction. The machines ye make for your fellow men's de-struction will become your own destroyers. Ask the Kaiser ' Be Tolerant With Men's Religion "Make whatever test you pi ase exclude a man if you like for his political sentiments, or his moral conduct, for his wealth or his poverty, for his youth or hisage; make war upon him for the c lor of his hair; for the length of his legs or the shape of his nose, but let him alone about his religion for that is consecrated ground; that is a point on which the Constitution has refused to trus you with one particle of power; and wisely too, for mortal men are not fit to be trusted with such power; they have never had it without abusing it." The above statement appears in an address, or argument rather, by Judge Black who was one of the leading lawyers in the United States He was engaged by the L. D. S. Church to represent it in a case wherein our legal, religious and con-stitutional rights as American citizens was involved. The above brief statement of the able and learned Judge Black appeals to the undersigned as being sound. In my humble opinion it would be well if we were a little more tolerant toward each other, not only in matters of reli-gion and politics but in many other ways along the pathway of life. James E.

City. 7 STATE IMPROVES CAR INSPECTION Due to the united effort of the State Highway Patrol and the Utah Traffic Safety Council, an improved system of motor vehicle inspection will be inaugurated during the peri-od June 1st to July 15th when all motor vehicles registered in the State of Utah are required to be In-spected in official safety inspection stations designated by the state for this purpose. Accident records show that 15 of all motor vehicle traffic accidents are blamed on de-fective vehicles. This means that defective vehicles are responsible in some measure for one out of every six or seven reported accidents. It was pointed out by George H. Lowe, President of the Safety Council, that this percentage means that last year over 6,000 of the people who died in automobile accidents throughout the United States are dead because someone's lights were too dim, or poorly aimed or focused, a tail light was burned out, brakes were out of adjustment, or some other safety feature of the vehicle was defective. According to P. L. Dow, Superin-tendent of the Patrol, that depart-ment will exercise great care in the selection of stations in the future. The new program requires that of-ficial stations be equipped to . properly inspect all safety items on motor vehicles, especially head-lamps. As a result of properly equipped and carefully selected sta-tions, a greatly improved system should result. Incorpo.ated in the sticker is the recommendation of Governor Maw that all motor vehicle operators conserve for Victory by driving un-der 40 miles per hour. Now that new vehicles and tires are no longer available for civilian use, it is more and more important that all exist-ing vehicles be operated at all times in safe condition and at speeds that will enable the motor-ists to get the longest possible life out of the vehicle he now owns. Motorists are urged to place their vehicles in safe operating condition immediately while parts and expert mechanics are still available. o tOi, ( It's More IMPORTANT in Wartime" Even with price ceilings, liv- - ' ing costs are higher now V than before the war. On top of that, it is the patriotic duty of everyone to buy War i; Savings Bonds and Stamps. j That's why the 10 saving !j on the cost of necessities which the chain stores have long made possible ' and which they continue to make possible is more import jj ant today than ever before. j. ' I f Based on latest available fig-- ures, chain store prices save each Utah family that trades ' at chain stores an average of about $120 a year. Since about one-fourt- h of all UtaL ' families trade at chain stores, this means a total yearly saving of $4,145,400. That amount of money will buy a lot of War Bonds! FCgVICTORY UTAH CHAIN STORES -- America's plane production plants are working over-tim- e turning out thousands of these fighter planes. War Savings Bonds will help pay for them and the American people are committed to at least ten per-cent of their income to finance their cost in War Bonds. Every Ameri-can, buying his share every pay day, will make it comparatively easy to supply our army and navy air corps with these supreme Eagles of the air.
