Show Speakers Present Discussion At B.-P.W. Club Forum Winning the Peace Just As Important As Winning War Say Speakers That manifold problems confront the United States Congress in winning the war and winning the peace at the conclusion of the war, was ably manifest before the St. George Business and Professional Pro-fessional Women's open forum Wednesday evening, Dec. 2, at the county library, with members and visitors attending. Roxey S. Romney, chairman of the forum committee, and county librarian, introduced the speakers, speak-ers, preceding her introduction with a brief presentation of the "News of the Week" maps, illustrating illus-trating their use in following concisely con-cisely the world history day by day, and urging people to make use of them. Claud Hirschi Speaks Senator Claud Hirschi of Hurricane, Hurri-cane, listed as the responsibilities of the United States Congress in winning Victory, several vital steps to be remembered. "Congress", "Cong-ress", he said, "must curtail civilian ci-vilian and government wastes. This is everybody's conflict and everybody's responsibility. Over-officering Over-officering and non-essential bureaus bu-reaus should be eliminated to permit per-mit thousands more men to serve where they are more needed in the military set-up. Domestic problems of nations are for Congress, Cong-ress, in bringing about unity, and directing energy of the Nation. War problems are for those trained train-ed in military tactics. In times of such serious emergency incidental inci-dental problems and political wranglings should be eliminated, but the franchise of Negroes must be faced. The Pole tax problem is obnoxious." Hailing Churchill as "Man of the Hour for England", Senator Hirschi said the U. S. must be adequately represented at the eventual peace table, but by men with proper attitudes which cannot can-not partake of the nationalistic tendencies of military leaders, but must possess the desires of universal uni-versal brotherhood. Two courses lie in the future (Continued on page eight) B.-P. W. Fcrum (Continued from first page) in establishing peace after the war, suggested Pres. Glenn E Snow. These include, a higher and better world, or world domination, domin-ation, but it will be easier to win the war than to win the peace. Weighty problems in this establishment estab-lishment of peace face especially the Congress of the United States. "Congress," he said, "must supervise the liquidation of war industries, a problem which will far accede that of assembling these large industries. There must not follow unemployment. Suier-vise World Trade Congress must supervise world trade. If "have" and "have not" nations exist, war will follow again. Congress must make new regulations in the social register. They must supervise and set up a money system to coordinate with the rest of the world; must lead in set up of world distribution distri-bution of all raw materials; and finally must battle her own allies at the world peace table on problems prob-lems of wide differences, essential to ultimate peace. All major nations must have adequate consideration. The political po-litical reconstruction will be difficult; dif-ficult; and isolationism would be dangerous. The basis for International Inter-national world peace must eventually event-ually provide, necessities, decencies decen-cies and comforts for all, the returns re-turns above that to go to public works, and the luxuries for all who can use them, but the basis of peace must first be made at home. "It will take longer to win the peace than to win the war, but peace table tolerance must come if world peace arrives," was the concluding thoughts expressed by Prseident Snow. |
