We're hearing hear-ing a lot about "dollar scarcity," "transferability of credits," "recession at home," "ability to underwrite," "sterling areas." The technical discussions aren't boosting boost-ing the popularity of the programs which we think can lead ultimately to a world federation, but, fortunately again, aren't representative of the enthusiasm with which America generally has accepted them. Perhaps it is inevitable that the feasability of the world federation scheme must be directly related to imports, im-ports, exports, employment, money and the field of economics, ec-onomics, but we hope those in high places aren't judging judg-ing it on those bases alone. For example, the picture above portays one of the best arguments we know for the pouring of -millions of dollars into the Marshall Plan and European aid in the hope that such action will brin,? us closer to a world, federation. He's an Austrian boy, and it's the first new pair of shoes the youngster ever had. If shoes from America can do the above for an Austrian boy, then it'd be hard to spend money more profitably. And to those who ask: "can we afford it?" we like to ,say: "we in America have never had it so good."

A bill has been introduced into the St. Louis City Council to protect tavern owners from the danger of churches springing up in their immediate vicinity. At first glance this looks as incongruous as a bill to protect bulldogs against rabbits. But it is? In St. Louis, it seems, a license to dispense liquor may neither be granted nor renewed for use within 100 feet of any church. Our sense of proprieties hails this ordinance. ordin-ance. Few, drinkers or non-drinkers, like to see saloons and night clubs huddling around a church. On the other hand, it appears that certain tavern owners, own-ers, long established and with large investments in their locations, have had to get up and move because a church decided to build nearby. We don't think the liquor dealer deal-er should be intrenched anywhere forever. But our sense' of fairness tells us that even a business we dislike ought to be given a reasonable period of grace in which to withdraw. with-draw. So much for the St. Louis bill. We are much more concerned con-cerned with this bulldog and rabbit reaction. It must have been a tacit imputing of the rabbit role to the church that prompted the city faters of S. Louis and other cities to place such protection around its edifices. And the proprieties aside we would like to ask: Should the church accept that role any longer? Does it really suffer in face-to-face competition with the liquor emporium? Ought not tavern owners, rather, be made to shrink from having . their establishments thrown into open contrast with those who enter the neighboring door to "take the water of life freely"? We don't want saloons next to churches either. But we would like to see the saloon repelled by the force of vital religion more than by the fiat of a,city council. CSM.

Vets to Get Rebate On NSL Insurance Payment of a 52,800,000,000 (billion) special National Slrvice Life Insurance dividend on approximately ap-proximately 20,000,000 policies has been authorized by Carl R. crans Affairs. About 16,000,000 veterans who took out insurance during World War II will be eligible to receive the dividend. Amounts individual veterans will receive are not yet known, as individual calculations have not been com pleted. Mr. Gray said he "hoped dis tribution of the checks could be started sometime in January, 1950, and be substantially com pleted during the first half of 1950" Generally, every veteran who took out NSLI and kept it in force for three months or more will be eligible for the dividend. In cases where policyholders have died, the beneficiary of the policy, if the insurance was in force, or those shown to be en-titl;d en-titl;d in case the insurance was lapsed, will receive the pay ment. The Administrator strongly emphasized that veterans should not write VA about their dividend, divid-end, because letter writing would on'y serve to delay pro- cesing the applications and mak ing payments. Special application blanks are now being prepared ana it is hoped they can b-J printed in time to be available sometime in August in every' post office, veterans' organization and V-A office. The form is a three-fold card upon which the v-teran writes his full name, insurance number and his address. He retains re-tains one-third of the card which contain the instructions and mails the other two parts to the V-A, where the application part of the card is separated and the return acknowledgement portion mailed back to the veteran veter-an to inform him that V-A has received the application. Nearly 20,000,000 policies were issued to more than 16,000-000 16,000-000 members of the armed forces, some veterans having two or more policies. There currently cur-rently are 7,215,000 policies in force, with a face value of $41,-552,000,000 $41,-552,000,000 (billion). Cutoff date for payment of the dividend is the anniversary dale of the policy during 1948. The special dividend will not be paid on policies issued after J&ru.L 1948, though such policies pol-icies may . participate in some later dividend distrbuton, Mr. Gray said- To Shed Lhjht on the World Last Week THESE MEN HAD THIS TO SAY: "The treaty (The Atlantic Pact) will do far mora to bring about a third world war than it will ever maintain the peace of the world."
