In answer to such a question a young Englishman educated in the United StAtes wrote a letter which has appeared on the editoriapage of the New York Hera and from which are taken the following excerpts: "In both England and America there is a tremendous surge of feeling for what I shall call 'goodness' It is the heartfelt Linging of all the middling folk for something better A world more worthy of their children a world more simple in Its beliefs nearer to earth and to God" Expressing a hope to see such a sentiment sweep over the earth like a tidal waver he elabolated as follows: "First thete must be friendship between nations for on' the maintenance of peace all other things depend This I believe with fanatical zeal depends entirely upon the cooperation between the British empire and the United States This indeed is my personal inspiration something worth living for something worth dying for From it may arise untold happiness without it I regard the war as lost regardless of the fate of Germany or Japan I love the American people as I believe no other Englishman does for I truly know and understand them and it is my lifelong ambition tc spread that understanding "Second we must try to improve the lot of the poor No sacrifice is too great for the rich to make in order to insure that the poor of England have decent houses good education social security and a chance to live a happy life If we in England set out not to conquer poverty (for that in some form is inevitable) but its attendant and unnecessary miseries just as we set out to beat Hitler in 1940 that dream world would soon come into our hands "Lastly and perhaps the most important of all let us return to God These last 40 years we have drifted away too far—led astray by realism and practical Let us return to the-- fold and living guide our lives by His principles and no others To accomplish this task we have one great weapon—the inherent goodness of man I love people—in all but the freaks of nature—and I am sure that the good far outweighs the bad Simrlicity is stronger than cynicism and kindness than cruelty Let the power of the world be in the hands not of the rich or the poor the old or the young but with the simple the honest and the good These ate to be found in all classes all creeds and all ages but and so often their very goodness holds them back That is what I am fighting for and what some of my comrades haye died for If God asks me to die for that same cause I shall do so with no regrets but only with the hope that I may die as bravely as they did" It was signed by Gilbert V ncholls of Rugby school in England and Chicago university He was killed in the Mediterranean campaign but his letter should live Able and Worthy Citizens Should Anvser Calls of Duty What is wrong with Salt Lake'S city A great many citizens government? have been asking each otherthis queStion recently and the answers they get are manifold and diverse Some see it as a failure of the commission form of control while others blame the state of affairs on personnel and personalities Recent events such as the fumbling and wrangling investigation of the Victory theater fire have not served to foster public confidence Whatever the cause of defects in our system the citizens will get a to try one form of correction soon chance —in the city election this fall The task before Salt Lakers in this dilemma iS not the simple one of going to the polls to register likes and dislikes on election day They must make every effort to bring out as candidates the men they believe to be best fitted tohold these important rrit-oici- pal offices groups clubs and individual citizens must seek out persons of outstanding merit intelligence and integrity Such selectees must be convinced of their duty to enter the political lists not to satisfy personal ambition nor because of monetary gain but as a civic duty and an obligation to the community At the outset it must be granted that Civic holding public office is almost always a thankless job Remuneration is seldom tempting to business or professional persons The honor of office fails to attract many of them while the carping criticism frequently leveled at conscientious and honest officials causes many to shun public life But conceding all this there are times when an individual must discard personal feelings in the face of community or national obligations Every day men are being inducted into the armed forces for service to their country Most of them go ghdly because they know that they will fight for something in which they believe High among the things for which those soldiers fight is freedom individual rights or as it is frequently called democracy This democracy is also being defended on the home front and one of the most vital sectors of defense is the ballot box Voters whose indifference keeps them away from polling places on election day are failing in their fight for democracy Intelligent and honest citizens who refuse to run for office when their services have been sincerely sought by fellow citizens are also neglecting to do their share in the fight to hold the line for democracy What use is it for our fighting men to perish on distant battlefields for 'democracy if we let it wither and die here at home? For a Lasting Peace Repudiate Isolationists senator Charles L Mc Nary former candidate for vice president on the Republican ticket is not identified with the isolation element in American politics He was never in accord with that shortsighted faction whose hatred of Woodrow Wilson prompted it to throw away everything our soldiers sailors and marines had been fighting for at Somme Aisne Catingny Chateau Thierry Argonne Belleau Woods and the Marne In an address delivered the other evening at Albany in the state of Oregon Senator Mc Nary said: "There was a lack of preparation for the peace that followed Versailles—it was a sort of peace—it was not made While he expressed a nptural curiosity to know what plans are formulating in the heads of Churchill and Stalin the smator may assume that neither allied leader has the least desire to leave tie door open for another war—as isolation senators did when they prevented the government from participating in any undertaking 23 years ago to make the world comparatively safe for popular governments and smaller nations Such an attitude justifies the senator's observation that the peace of 1919 for the maintenance of which this republic openly refused to assume any responsibility was "not made to endure' Under the circumstances hi the light of history looking backward over the graves of millions of mortals sacrificed to factional spite as well as to racial hate it is barely possible that both Churchill and Stalin are wondering what is fermenting in the heads of our national lawmakers who will pass upon peace terms at the conclusion of the present conflict e" tot-endur- New York Hicrilliolits By Charles B Driscoll NEW YGRK---DiarImportant anniversary I missed this month: Death of Will Rogers August 15 eight years ago Will would be nearly 64 years old had he lived until now and I do not doubt that he would be delivering wise comment upon the state of the world every day How fades the memory of the departed!

WASHINGTON — The drift of Republican sentiment (judging from returning congressmen) is headed toward a party declaration at the Mackinac island conference for international postwar cooperation of a restricted type in which each nation would maintain its own character and sovereignty The conference they say is likely to follow the lines of the Vandenberg-Whit- e resolution exsame these sentiments pressing The Willkie people may want more and some party authorities like Senator Taft would like to be more specific and pledee something like a new League of Nations but the final compromise no doubt will be a sifted average of party opinion It will resist the pressure of extremists for an international state or world legislature or a composite world army Similarly the house will adopt soon after it resumes its session the Fulbright resolution pledging only international cooperation A determined effort will be made to get the senate to adopt resthe olution going much further and an international demanding agreement now with 'a police force later but it will not have sufficient strength behind it to become art adopted policy Thus while we are involved in a strong and somewhat confusing discussion as to what we want for postwar the final outcome of the debate is beginning to be discernible Roosevelt Keeps Silent Everyone seems to have a definite opinion and practically everyone has expressed himself except the three men whose judgment will be final—Roosevelt Churchill and Stalin Not by one word has Mr Roosevelt Indicated what he has in mind After Senator Hatch called at the White House a few weeks back he reported in the cloak rooms that the president had no objection to the senate passing his resolution but this is the only indirect suggestion available indicating the president may wish to go further than the Republicans or the house presumably intend to go In the end of course the character of the "police force" will be the determining factor On one hand the phrase is now used to mean a world army and on the other hand to signify a system in which the great victorious world powers would police their own hemispheres with their own armed strength No trouble will be encountered in getting strong popular opinion behind the latter interpretation but it is already evident no national agreement can be achieved in this country behind the first interpretation Draft-FatheNow Fends The legislators who are dropping into town every few days also seem determined to adopt legislation preventing the draft of fathers Even members of the military affairs committees who work exceptionally close to the war department are displaying a tendency to break with the army authorities on this matter They say they will surely pass the Wheeler bill postponing father drafts until January 1 Thp 'prospect however is by no means assured The administration very likely will turn on pressure to let the military leaders have their way Mr Byrnes followed this line in his speech If a strong display is made against the Wheeler bill the current apparent majority in congress for it conceivably could be reversed The Democrats seem rather thoroughly agreed that they want a late convention next year They probably will go to Philadelphia possibly as late as September It is only a short trip from Washington and most of the delegates will come from here Roosevelt Vs Dewey ? The matter already is regarded as routine with renomination of Mr Roosevelt being certain His running mate all authorities suspect will be Mr Byrnes who is now plainly being groomed for the task The Democrats all seem to figure their Republican opponent will be New York's Governor Dewey A farflung and strong organization is being built up by Winkle people especially in New England and the middle west He obviously intends to win some primaries and thus override the almost unanimous opposition of the party leaders But Republican congressmen fresh from home agree his chance of obtaining the nomination is remote He has lost much party support since his nomination in Philadelphia and the nature of the additional following which he has been able to attract since then is not Republican but mostly leftish or Democratic and favorable to Mr Roosevelt as first choice rs -- Distributed by King Features Syndicate The University of Utah enjoys the distinction of being the first university established yest a of the Missouri river coeducational institution established in 1850 three years after the arrival of the Mormon pioneers Its : r7 ii $ ' i eN — i!"- - - 1 : 4'':''': ) I - -- : 4 By Paul Mallon August 23 1913 Full Employment After War Must EMMEINIMMIEMPNII '''t" 6 By Mannin g Quebec ft: '''i ':ca' ' A' - 31 t ' 1 ' !

Arr? :W' 7i:A - twafts 4rit - : nd t 1 By Walter Lippmann In the first article of this series I vete: tured to Say that our failure to make a workable peace after 1918 was due to three cardinal errors First we dissolved the alliance which had won the war when we should have kept it to preserve the peace Second we followed a policy of inaction at home when we should have recognized that the maintenance of full employment is now a primary objective of national policy Third in our commercial and financial dealings with foreign countries we behaved as if we were still a debtor nation and therefore we helped provoke the great economic crisis which began in 1928-2- 9 These three errors Largued have a common root: our thinking and our policies have been from 25 to 50 years behind the realities and the effort to live in the twentieth century as if it were the nineteenth century Jed to military insecurity economic disaster and social upheaval The first point I shall pass over very briefly here for it is already widely and is much better understood throughout the country We may summarize the argument by saying that in the nineteenth century the vital interests of the United States were adequately safeguarded Our interests were confined to the defense of the western hemisphere and they coincided as against all other powers with those of Britain which until about 1900 exercised an undisputed command of the seas U S Challenged By the beginning of the twentieth century however American interests were extended from the western hemisphere across the Pacific ocean to the Philippines and indeed to the China coast At the same time first Germany and then Japan emerged to challenge British and American command of the seas In the twentieth century therefore the United States foreign policy of the nineteenth was inadequate and as a result we have been involved in two world wars which we were unable to prevent which we were unprepared to fight and unless we change our policy this time which We have not known how to settle even when we had won them Our failure to adjust our thinking and our diplomacy to the realities made the '203 and the '30s a period not of reconstruction after the other war but the prelude to the next war The aggressor states prepared for that war which was a crime the defending states did not prepare for it which was also a crime and it has very nearly cost them their national existence Let us now examine the second point which is that in the '20s immediately after the other war we did not recognize that the maintenance of full employment is the duty of a modern state When did this become the duty of a modern state?

I - 1 1 over-anxio- ' 1 ' 1 : ''' i 1 I: 1 Program Is Plain Within these two grand alternatives there are many variations There is much that is grey for all is not black or white But One thing is certain—it is that free enterprise cannot be maintained in the twentieth century under nineteenth century' laissez-fair- e Free enterprise requires goy- ernment action to maintain it by regulating it and also to compensate its tendency to booms and crashes which produce involuntary mass unemployment on A great deal depends therefore whether we are able after this war to agree that the avoidance of mass unemployment Is a national duty and to act accordingly If we do not agree if every positive measure is to be made the subject of an hysterical and illiterate qtfarrel ambng hack politicians then our hopes of peace and order are doomed to disappointment For unless we can demonstrate to ourselves that with our resources and our industrial skill we have the wit to provide useful and profitable work for those who are able and willing to work we shall once more as we did in the '20s lose the peace after we have won the war We are now such a preponderant part of the economy of the world that unless here at home we attain the stability of full employment we shall be a force for disorder rather than for order everywhere It is upon a policy of full employment at home achieved by domestic policy that we must found our postwar foreign ecoFor our greatest contribunomic policy tion to world prosperity is a prosperity in the United States which makes us a good market for imports and not about pushing our exports That brings us to the third point which will be treated in my next article—the propview er balancing of our foreign accounts-iof the fact that we have been a creditor nation ever since the first world war i 1 '''7' I I 1 : ' t I ' k 1 ' ' 1 ' f -' t : I I ' t ' - t i 1 I us 1 -- I ' 1 t I 1 - I t '' |
