Show EeoimTOic Eqmafliity Ned wofe Wflroa. ' In as much as we are for more and greater economic equality eq-uality we cannot help taking note of some of the awful and unequal conditions among some, or all of the peoples of the earth. Down in Mexico there is a population of some 15,000,000 people, the vast majority of whom live in wretched poverty and misety from the cradle to the grave, while the natural resources re-sources of the country are such that it could support in comfort com-fort more than 50,000,000. It has mineral wealth virtually untouched. It has one-fourth of the wordl's oil and inexhaus-table inexhaus-table coal deposits. Also rubber. Its agricultural and live stock possibilities are not developed to one-twentieth of their possibilities. And yet the average per capita wealth is about as little as it is among the savages of Borneo. Its primitive system of education Leaves about nine-tenths of its sons and daughters illiterate. What a burning shame that a country so wealthy is held in the clutches of a few capitalists while the masses starve through life in filth poverty and misery. These despoiling capitalists bel eve that they are to own and control the nat ura recources and grow rich on them, and that their fellows are to be kept in poverty and ignorance. We promise that the day will come when this condition will be looked upon as belonging be-longing a barbarian age. God meant the natural wealth for all edually for all, and those who make it otherwise are traitors to Him in every sense of the word. Because Fish Smells Fishy Thomas Dewey, who is running for the New York governorship, gover-norship, and perhaps for president later on, has given out that; he does not want Hamilton Fish on the ticket He believes that Fish smellsfishy and should be counted a dead he,rnng. Do You Claim Relationship? Darwin's first book, The Origin of Species, proved conclusively conclusi-vely that there was among animals a process of evolution from type to type. But when he came out with his later book, The Descent of Man he put his whole theory in these vords which have caused.all the talk and argument: "An extint animal ani-mal called the Simida, branched off into two great stems, the New World monkey i arid the Old World ' rWceys, and -from the latter, at a remote period Man, the wonder and glory of the universe, proceeded.' Nothing could be plainer than this, and thus we see th t Darwin does leave God out of the picture in the matter of creation, and holds conclusively that .man is the offspring of remote Old World monkeys. Look for Beauty and Goodness We should learn to see and speak of the beauty, the goodness, good-ness, the heroism in humanity. It should not be necessary for th' p ople to be separated from the common ideals of our common life in order for us to appreciate them for what they are. If one sets out to find touiai.s (CONTINUED) "We Shall Win or We Shall Die." Said General McArthur in one of his fine bursts of eloquence elo-quence as he stood out there on the far flung battle line fight, ins for the very life or human liberty: "We shall win or we shall die. Only those who are willing to die(for freedom)are fit to live." These are noblo words. To lose in the present cause would be far worse than death all men in slavery ,all children starved and all women subject to barbarian lust.

No, Mr. Arneld, Not. As You say Assistant Attorney General Arnold says: "There will be such a revival after the war of economic plenty under the capitalistic cap-italistic system such as the world has never seen." Not so, Mr.Arnnld, not and never under the capitalistic system. There will be plenty and abundance, in time, but not through capitalism because its doom is sealed. St. John's vision tells the story of its end, and this war is its death knell and funeral funer-al dirge. It has been weighed in the balance and found so ; very inadequate for the Age of Man and the Day of God. As We Think So We Are "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he." If we realize the truth of this then how necessary it is for us all to hold the right kind of thought-harmony thoughts, health thoughts, kindness thouehts. love thoughts. We should forgive people who have wronged us and wronged themselves. Of all things we should never indulge in political, social or racial hatred or contempt. We should not let our mindsdwell on our mistakes. This is poison to the mind and the body. Personal and professional pro-fessional jealousy is an odious thing and should not be -indulged in. If we desire health, peace, happiness and contentment we should think health, peace, happiness-and contment.
