From ‘V’ to ‘E’
The indicator that points to
primary objectives on Uncle
Sam’s dial moved, August 12,
from Victory to Employment.
Correctly this nation’s first aim
from December 7, 1941, to V-J
Day was to win the war and
save the world’s free peoples
from despotic rule; worth all it
cost in blood, sweat and tears.
Now that’s finished, and the new
primary objective is to hold
what’s been gained.
Damages have been fearful.
Some can never be repaired;
some can. There are twisted
minds and broken hearts, wounds
to heal and debts to pay. Those
losses that can be won back will
demand much time and patience.
By their very nature, they are
deferred. But unemployment is
another aggressive enemy, not
to be put off. We provide work
now or lose what our young
men bought with their lives.
Something to Avoid
Mass unemployment in this
country might easily start a re-
volution among industrial work-
ers that would overthrow the re-
public and destroy our very
American way of life. It is the
one catastrophe to be feared by
the whole people of America.
War’s end touched off much talk
about postwar legislation but all
of it is relatively unimportant
except what has to do with gain-
ful employment.
Legislative acts that merely
promise work to service men are
nothing but emotional brain-
storms. Jobs have to pay their
own way to be worth having.
Since 15,000 men will lay down
arms every day for 14 months,
one of these things must hap-
pen; (1) Private industry must
expand and make room for them,
(2) Government will make a big
WPA for them or (3) Want will
bring desperation.
Good Tax Laws First
A hungry and outraged people
rush mob-like to dictatorship. An
army-size WPA marches with
slave-like steps to the same desti-
nation. Well paid jobs in private
industry with opportunity for im
provement and advancement con-
stitute the only work fit for a
free people. It is the only solu-
tion worthy of America’s clean
record. Industry must expand
and make jobs. It is the only
way to remain free.
Only one thing stands in the
way—taxes! Expanding indus-
try, enough to make the needed
jobs, calls for investments which
(same as jobs) have to pay. To-
day’s taxes, however, make it im-
possible to find a paying invest-
ment that will make jobs. The
tax laws were all right in 1940
when they were passed to take
the profit out of war. Now they
threaten to ruin our future by
taking the prosperity out of
peace.
A Simple Tax Plan
It is my conviction that cor-
poration taxes and standard in-
dividual taxes should be levied at
the same rate. I think the struc-
ture should be high enough to
meet the requirements of the
proposed budget without having
any surtaxes higher than 50%.
For an investor to pay out more
than half his income in taxes
will discourage large investments
—the very kind needed.
With a few specific exceptions
I oppose excise taxes and con-
sider it wrong in principle to tax
distributed income of corpora-
tions more than once. Excess
profits tax should be eliminated
at once. A fair tax policy, and
certainly an expedient one, will
encourage capital investments
for profit in going concerns
rather than in government bonds.
We want the right taxes for the
most jobs.

the Methodist Church, the cere-

annual camp meeting held re-

During its first eight months
of operation, the New York Re-

the Church of the Bethren at
168 Clinton Street, Brooklyn, N.

Japanese ancestry and assisted
them in finding homes and jobs
in the New York area. Accord-
ing to Dr. Eldon Burke, who
with Mrs. Burke, is in charge of
the hostel, donations of food,
homemade blankets and other
materials and service have been
provided for the welfare of hostel
residents. The hostel has be-
come a community center where,
through regular social activities,
resettlers are getting acquainted
with Caucasian Americans and
other resettlers. Members of

the soybean has for centuries

Chains of Gold
In his Idylls of the King,
Tennyson has King Arthur tell
Sir Bedivere:
More things are wrought by
prayer
Than this world dreams of.
Wherefore let thy voice
Rise like a fountain for me night
and day.
For what are men better than
sheep or goats
That nourish a blind life within
the brain,
If, knowing God, they lift not
hands of prayer
Both for themselves and those
who call them friend?
For so the whole round earth is
every way
Bound by gold chains about the
feet of God.
We Catholics, saying our
Rosary, like to think of our-
selves as forging chains of gold
with which to bind ourselves
ever more closely to God’s
throne.
The rosary itself is a modest-
looking little affair, a light chain
on which have been threaded six-
ty beads, but each of those
beads, as it passed between our
fingers reminds us to offfer one
more little prayer to God,
through the hands of His Virgin
Mother—for any offering must
be doubly blest when it is laid
before a son by his mother. And
as we pray, we keep pondering
on the happenings in Our Lord’s
life—His birth and life as a child
with Mary; the scenes of His
suffering and death; the tri-
umphs of His resurrection and
ascension.
Unscriptural? Yes: as un-
scriptural as the pipe-organ,
which is not mentioned in the
Bible. But if the pipe-organ helps
devotion, why not use it? And
if the rosary helps devotion . . . ?
Repetitious? Of course as re-
petitious as the ceaseless hymns
of the Seraphs, chanting their
“Holy, holy, holy, Lera God Al-
mighty, which was, and is, and
is to come” (King James Ver-
sion, Isiah 6:3; Rev. 4:8); as re-
petitious as the 136th Psalm with
its sublinme refrain, “For His
mercy endureth forever.”
The rosary has been a bless-
ing to Catholics during eight
hundred years, for it was not
developed until the twelfth cen-
tury. Since then, millions of us
have said it in going over, again
and again, the Gospel-story, re-
volving in our minds the precious
details of Christ’s ministry
among men.
Ask one of your Catholic
friends to show your his rosary.
He’ll be glad to show you how
we use it. In fact,
If it’s anything Catholic, ask
a Catholic!

When the opportunity of a
human being to work is limited
because of his color or the color
of his skin, that disprimination
is more than a matter of bad
taste or of ignorance, according
to Dr. Robert W. Searle of the
Greater New York Federation of
Churches. “The denial of ap-
propriate economic opportunity”,
says Dr. Searle, “is in actuality
a denial of life as the vital sta-
tistics of our Harlem abundantly
prove. It is a denial of liberty,
since freedom today rests in a
very real measure on economic
status. It is a denial to the
right to ‘the pursuit of happi-
ness’ when, ways, through which
happiness may lead, are barred
by the hands of discrimination. A
denial of ‘life, liberty, and the
pursuit of happiness’ — the ‘in-
alienable rights’ of any man —
is the denial of America. But
there i s a deeper denial: there
is the denial of Jesus and Christ
and, through him, of the Creator
God, whose sovereign will it is
that we love our neighbors as
ourselves.”
The flag is white, with red bor-
ders and blue crosses.
“We cannot build a safe world
by attempting to hate Germany
and Japan,” says Dr. Leslie B.
Moss of the Church Committee
on Relief and Reconstruction.
“We cannot permanently put
them in prison. They are human
even though they seem not to
have behaved that way. There
is no magic of words by which
we can solve the problem. But
there is a magic in the dissolv-
ing of bitterness. You cannot
go to the corner drugstore to
purchase a prescription for this.
The cultivating of relationships
of justice and understanding is
much more expensive than that.
The time will come when they
must be prepared to take a real
share in aking the plan for world
cooperation work. And we must
be prepared to help achieve that
end. Martin Niemoeller, the
Christian minister whom Hitler
held in prison for six years, is
reported to have sent this mes-
sage to the German people when
he was recently released: ‘Turn
again to God’. It is the message
of the prophets of long ago. It
is important for our world to-
day.”
