Not liberty alone, not truth alone, but truth and liberty, Liberty with Truth, shall yet enlighten the world. AFTER THE DELUGE Readers whose memory of the theater or movies spans 10 years or so may leeall a play called The Deluge." It was the story of a group of people, a small-towgroup full of social, political and personal animosities, who took refuge from a flood in a water-tigh- t basement. Though in temporary safety, all faced death from suffocation in their unventilated 1fuge. And as breathing became more difficult and death drew nearer, their enmities seemed less and less important. Two by two they resolved their differences, admitted the good points of their opponents views and characters, and composed their souls to meet their imminent, fate. At last the oxygen in the room was nearly exhausted. Preferring quick drowning to suffocation, one ol the characters threw open the door in expectation of a torrent of water. But the flood had receded. And. with peril past, the bad feeling returned. All departed for home as bitter as when they entered. wide-ope- Perhaps young people are no more to blame than adults. Perhaps the concern should be expressed about all drivers. But accident statistics during .he past three months have includthan ed more victims of teen-ag- e ever before. n The point of that play is uncomfortably applicable to the present state of this country and of the world. The tragic truth is that it takes the dire peril of war to bring out the best in men. Only in the midst of death and suffering, apparently, can they learn the lesson of tolerance. So in this war nations forgot ambition and jealousy and ideological differences, and pooled their strength to crush the forces of tyranny. Here at home workers and employers found a way to settle disputes and work together in turning out the arms that made victory possible. But now that the flood of war has receded, the differences are with us again in greater intensity. Selfishness and stubbornness have returned. The domestic front is threatened with economic war.' In London, the first postwar meeting of diplomatic representatives of the great Allies was a deadlock of opposing views which ended in discouragement and general frustration. The knowledge that classes and nations cannot get along together unless they face extinction may not be new. But it is shocking to hjve to make that discovery again. Somehow, after the bitter battle to cleanse the earth of the fascist scourge, everyone hoped that perhaps the world might become a better and happier place. That seemed to be the reason for fighting. Yet, though we made great scientific strides during the war years, we did not keep pace in human relations. Though we attained a high level of proserity, we find the continuation of that prosperity endangered by disputes involving n a few thousands of our population. Though we our destinies are still of doctrine the far, democracy spread shaped in the secTet meetings of a few world statesmen. As of today, there is precious little evidence that this country or the world ha3 learned much from historys most terrible war. multi-millio- PROTECTING THE POSTWAR HOUSE Fire Prevention Week comes this year on the eve of what promises to be the countrys biggest building boom. And it comes with a timely reminder that it costs no more to build a dwelling properly, according to recommendations of the National Fire Protection Association, than it does to construct a potential fire trap. In the last 10 years fire has killed 100,000 Americans, 75,000 of them in homes. It has burned and disfigured 170,-00It has destroyed $3 000,000,000 worth of property. Our peacetime fire loss has become the highest in the world, higher even than the normal loss in the supposedly tinderbox country of Japan. The causes of our fire? are about equally divided between carelessness and negligence. And while human behavior isnt so easily corrected, structural hazards can be eliminated. So those who are planning to buy or build should make sure that their postwar dream house" has such practical necessities as an adequate wiring system with sufficient outlets; a roof of fire resistant material; a properly constructed chimney; and an effioent heating plant, properly installed 0. and adequately protected.

Johnston, new head of the motion picture producers and successor to Czar" Will Hays, reg cently ihstalled a plan for employes in his electrical concerns in the northwest. Briefly, the plan called for setting aside 25 percent of the net profits after taxes, for division among employes on the basis of their seniority in service and salary scales. After the plan was put in effect a group of the employes protested. It wasnt fair, they said, to the stability of the company or the stockholders. To Johnston's surprise, what they proposed was that 6 per cent net profits be set aside for the stockholders first, before any allog cation was made for among the employes. So many drafts of plans for the government of Germany have been made that it is almost impossible to keep up with them. That fact led former Secretary of Treasury Henry W. Morgenthau astray the other day when he criticized the government because it had not made public its plan known as 7 Joint Chiefs of Staff Memo No. 1067. Morgenthau made this criticism of his former pals while putting in a plug for his own forthcoming book, "Germany Is Our Problem," in which he finally reveals with President Roosevelts deathbed permission the famous Morgenthau plan of 1944 for governing Germany. profit-sharin- Low In Liberal Servinc Re.
