The wave is everywhere evident in the Orient, the Near East, Russia and Europe. To fling ourselves against it, to think that we can buy off or even postpone its approach is simply a folly by which we weaken our own forces. Unfortunately, per- haps tragically, the responsibilities for our defense are largely in the hands of men who still are thinking in the idiom of an age which is already past and will not return. Withstanding the Wave. It is possible that we, as a nation, may be able to stand as a rock in the path of that oncoming wave, surviving it as Rome survived the wave which swept her world as barbaric Carthage challenged her power and security. We shall not do so if we deliberately weaken ourselves In insignificant, picayune efforts to halt the wave. 1 mean, by picayune efforts, four billions loaned to England and dissipated quickly, 20 billions poured into Europe to van ish perhaps without result overnight,; or even billions and billions more. Waves of history, and hurrilike earthquakes canes, are not to be bought off. They are simply not in the market. The unrest, the perpetual strikes, the unwillingness of British coal miners to produce more, the despair of absurd and destructive Nihilist philosophies like Existentialism, the inertia and the despair of whole peoples, the prevalent philosophy of living from day to day, the evil tactics of Russia in exploiting all these elements and many mure, are all a part of that wave of history. Money will not cure the despair of a Germany. It will not get more work out of the British coal miners, who constantly seek more and more pay for less and less work in a desperate nation on the verge of bankruptcy. It will only permit the miner to relax a little mure before the final catastrophe which may engulf us as well. It is significant that the abler and more honest European leaders are showing some recognition of this fact I'urge Is Necessary.

A Europe which Is unwilling to give up artificially pegged currencies, compli cated customs barriers, a Britain carwhich still seeks to tels and 19th century closed-trad- e areas, has not yet reached the ca tharsis out of which new strength, new character, new hope is born. Forced into socialism on the one hand by poverty and disaster, Brit ain still clutches with the other the decaying remnants of the 19th century imperialism which brought her in another age great power and wealth. That imperialism lies be hind the advancing wave of history, gone forever. The humanitarian responsibility for food lies almost wholly upon our shoulders and, so long as civilization exists and Christian morality has any weight, cannot be avoided. We cannot look for humanitarianism in the moral and ethical vacuum represented by Soviet Russia. The men in Moscow, in themselves a horrible manifestation of the wave, will use their wheat politically. They will even sell it at a high price, demanding in turn American dollars because their own pegged currency has no real value in the world. Russia Overestimated. Despite its ruthlessness and realism, Soviet Russia is not a power comparable to this nation. As Walter Lippmann has pointed out. the satellites and the nations Russia has swallowed up are, in their present state, liabilities rather than sources of strength. Essentially Russia ia only a potential power which can fall Into disintegration quickly in the face cf another war. It is not impossible that the Balkans and central Europe can fall within a generation into the desolation of the Thirty Years war. That possibility, too, is a part of the "Wave of History." We shall not stop the wave by pouring out billions and billions carelessly or perhaps generously or under any other circumstances. We can, however, perhaps keep intact a citadel about which world civilization can rebuild itself. We shall not do so by economically weakening ourselves. The quickest route to the destruction of democracy is that of economic depression. To weaken ourselves in a futile attempt to halt the wave of history is the surest way to death of democracy and, in the end, of western civilization. s ii ( ' f A" f .r, Swf - "i f' 4.8). f 1 HE'S THE YOUNGEST . . .Dr. Samuel D.

But there isn't too much fun, especially for Navy, in being knocked down week after week, struggling desperately to win one game each year. Everyone seems to realize this except those handling the destinies of Navy football who don't have to take the weekly beatings. Just as the war broke out. Navy called Swede Hagberg, a brilliant submarine commander, to handle an squad. Hagberg is high on anyone's list as a submarine commander. He was completely bewildered at Annapolis with such men as Jenkins, Kelly, Hoernschemeyer, Minisi, Scott, Whitmire, Demaree, three stars from Texas and too many others to mention. Hagberg was one of the ablest of all submarine commanders. He was not a football coach. all-st- Jr . - Record for Courage Both Hamilton and Navy have given all they had.

' crih-:MT"l- I talked with at the last Army-Navgame told me they were going to stick to their present system for coaches three years and then back to Navy service with a new man in. This may look to be a happy plan but it won't work. Not a chance in the world. I would vote 100 per cent to keep Hamilton on the job. He will be better in 1948 and much better in 1949. But to yank him out and bring in navy man means Navy suicide. It may be Hamilton wants navy service in place of coaching later on. I wouldn't know about that. But Hamilton now is just beginning to get his grip. Red Blaik, at Army, has been coaching for more than 20 years-Ar- my, Dartmouth and back to Army again. Red Is a high-cla- s coach with long experience. Navy is the only football squad that keeps changing coaches. They are out of the job just as they are finding what it is all about. They tell me from Annapolis that Navy won't have a professional or keep such man at coach Hamilton in after his three years of football service. This Is all right if the admirals and the leading navy kick out of teeing officials get young midshipmen knocked down and hammered around week after week. I don't think they do.

Hamilton had been away from football action for many years. He never had a chance against such men as Frank Leahy, Fritz Crisler, Lou Little, Red Blaik, George Munger and many more I could mention. As smart id as able as Hamilton is, he will need at least two more years to have his chance to get his feet on the ground and match the Leahys and the Crislers and even then he won't have their material. Then Three Years ' BATTLE OF NEWARK BAY . . . There was still a lot of scrap left in the old battleship New Mexico, and that's what started all the trouble. A New York salvage firm started out to tow the 30,000-to- n dreadnought to Port Newark where it was to have been scrapped. Newark's Mayor Vincent J. Murphy had other Ideas, however. He didn't want the port turned Into s "graveyard" for old warships, so he sent out a fleet of tugs and fircboats to Intercept the battleship. Both sides later agreed to i' .
