adventure Notices received by local police warned them to be careful in approaching the lads as they are vicious and prepared to: offer murderous resistance to arrest Itseems like a hoax but newspapers all over the country have been carrying accounts of juvenile crimes as vile and yen- orpous as any listed in the daily press From the ages of 8 to 16 many boys and a few girls have been perpetrating all sorts': of: offenses against law and decency in- cluding burglary brigandage: blackmail and homicide traceable These deplorable acts are-no- t tck drink or drugs they seldom result from poverty or privations they are not always astociated with insalubrious environment cr: neglected education Boys have shot their parents in fits of anger or resentfulness groupsof youngsters have

prevention" is worth more than a ton of cures in such cases The trouble should be corrected where it begins—in the home' Until debasing toys are eliminated there will always be youthful des'peradoes seeking adventures or notoriety and hardened criminals who cost the taxpayers of this country enough to run an dare-devil—with I ordinary war The President's Greeting And Address to the World President Franklin D Roosevelt's address to the world delivered on the first day of this year was a discussion of postwar problems The pstablishment of universal peace on a firm foundation of fairness and with due regard for dissimilar I t social distinctions customs religious convictions political theories and domestic arrangements is the goal toward which all united nations are directing their anxious eyes and marching steps Peace must not only have a basis of tolerance and understanding between the Egnatory governments promoting it but Jsore sort of effective machinery for its enforcement wiil have to be devised and put into operation as soon after the victory as possible While the president presented no definite plan he did emphasize the imperative need of policing the earth for peace As detailed plans might arouse antagonism of certain factions at home and of several alien members of the contemplated recommendations along organization these lines were omitted But the burden of his appeal comrrised the establishment of peace the en a entitled this DS to pet' China has suffered more than will ever be told by her people or comprehended by her sympathizers The Chinese peasants have been bled white by the vampires from Japan The Chinese government is disrupted and the Chinese army is fighting with its back to the "great wall" Evidently dismissing the dangerous plan of Siberian invasion and abandoning the idea of joining the Germans in India the Japanese are concentrating troops in the territory southwest of Yunnan in a final effort to terminate the five-yecampaign to add China to Korea and Manchukuo as another Nipponese province it is a critical stage of that undeclared war in which 10000000 Chinese have been massacred 100000000 rendered homeless and 300000000

become China's 'ambassador-ineffec- t' in Washington" While she may not represent the nese government and may have no official status in this country Madame Chiang never permits her Marvelous mind to

we feel and what did we think a year ago today? What did we expect of 1942 ? How did our estimates and expectations turn out Have we learned anything out of 1942 do us good or serve us well in 1943? In sum what has happened during the year just past that may give us light along the pathway during the year that is just that may beginning? Declared war on the part of the United States was not yet It month old a year ago today We had really been In the war for many months In fact we were actual belligerents from the day of the presidential edict giving powers and warships to one of the fighting undertaking to fortify some of the islands and repair fighting ships belonging to one of the fighting powers But we had fondly hoped and many of us had believed that there might be some way to stay out of it deeply as We were in it Our president had told us months earlier that "we have got a war to win" and had given our navy orders to shoot German warships at slkght wherever found So we were really silly to hope that we might stay out despite our being already in The Germans must have lost a tremendous number of men and a frightful total of materials Even though they continue to drive forward in some places they can't drive forward forever against any kind of truly destructive fire They haven't all the men and resources in the world They are bound to give out eventually4 It has been proved to us that the Germans do not have an unlimited quantity of airplanes and bombs When they concentrate on Russia England is left unscathed and when they move forward in Russia they sometimes move backward in Africa They would like to go ahead everywhere but they can't Well we start another year of war One of our enemies is tired and faltering The other Is fresh and powerful A year from today?

Boy's Life It is my deep conviction that what the boys and girls of America need most today is a strengthening of influence in their lives Boys and girls of America cannot grow into manhood and womanhood of the kind that gives them moral fiber and moral character without the help and the power of God I say this as a i of my own personal experience result - 1 Very early in my life I came under ' the influence of a good Christian was woman and happy to unite with the ' ' 4'''''--J Church of God Throughout my youth I was active in attendance at Sunday rd - holocaust is over At no time has internationalism become foremost in their minds There is no doubt that Britain wants to contribute all she can to the restoration of the world but "Britain first" is the slogan of all Britons today All Bets Off How deeply wedded the British are to their own Interests was illustrated In the statement by Captain Harold IL Balfour the undersecretary for air 17In the house of commons last December when he said that after the war is over "all bets will be oft" in regard to the empires air routes which Amerto fly for milican planes now are permitted itary purposes This matter arose from a question put to the government as to the reason why distinguished Britishers such as Mr Churchill Ambassador Lord Halifax and Itarshal Jan Christiaan Smuts the South Mrican premier are being flown hither and yon by an inexperienced The question referred to trips made by theae gentlemen in a Liberator bomber filer piloted by the former William Vander Moot One of the members of the house urged the air minister to ask all high British officials to"111y British' The incident itself is of minor importance but it does indicate how strongly nationalistic are the British parliament and the people it represents ftVould Take Over It is an open secret and not Herr Joseph Goebbels propaganda that the British would like to obtain some sort of control over French north Africa if postwar developments prove such that the French cannot take care of their possessions Do not for one moment think that Britain wants to "grab" the French areas: no such thought ever entered Mr Churchill's mind But should France be "beyond repair'' alter the war should civil and military strife appear In the country with a violence which ta feared by many she would not be in posltion to take care of north Africa where there are millions of Arabs who do not Like paternalism from a weak country ' There are many Britishers who think that since India may have to be given complete freedom and the dominions are only sentimentally tied to the mother country British protection of the entire north African continent might be the answer to the united d kingdom's crying need for raw materials and markets And on this point some of the high American officials who are drafting blueprints of the postwar world have adopted a different' attitude Highminded men such as Vice President Wallace and the hosts of advisers who are spending all their time and enezgy to prepare a world free of greed and strife think in terms of helping the outside world first and America later Promised Aid Large stores of food are being assernbled for shipment to the four corners of the globe to help the starving millions Nations which in the past depended entirely on the industrial powers for their manufactured capi- products are being told that American tal and American machinery will be sent to them to make them economically free states Therewill be loans of many billions to help these tountries stand on their feet and form economic entities regardless of whether or not they are prepared for such a task The exponents of these economic theories believe that in the end—say 100 years from now—the American people will reap the thanks to the harvest of their wisdom of the leaders who believe that economic and political nationalism is at the bottom of all the ills plaguing the world today Military disarmament has failed The "neonationalists" as the group of postwar blueprinters in Washington may be called heve now devised the idea of bringing prosperity to the entire world even if the American people have to pay for it After all is over they say this sacrifice will prove a bonanza since in this way the world might be able to rid itself of wars These internationalists even refuse to admit that France's internationalism before- r the war together with that of the late British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain led to Munich and eventually to this war Advocates Assailed So strong is the feeling among this group of old fag- -against anything that smacks toned nationalism that at one time last summer those who advocated an offensive regarded the against Japan because they more as from dangerthat quarter danger ous than the peril from across were described as fascists and reactionaries who should hide their unpatriotic heads izt shame Matters such as future boundaries of the various warring
