the democratic people* them-
■elves. If they are badly formu-
lated, they will be upset at the
ballot box. The people cannot de-
cide intelligently unless they have
time to inform themselves.
For America no agreement is
binding until it has been ratified
by the Senate. There are some '
people in a hurry who feel we
shall get farther and faster oy
empowering the President to con-
clude binding agreements with-
out fulfilling our Constitutional
requirement of ratification by the
representatives of the people. If
this is a people's war, it must be
a people's peace.
It is difficult to see how we
strengthen democratic processes
by scrapping constitutional pro-
cedure and adopting methods of
dictatorship which we are en-
deavoring to eliminate from the
world.
Peace-making is not merely a
negative process of stopping mili-
tary aggressions. It must be a dy-
namic elimination of the causes
of aggression, the creation of good
will and cooperation between na-
tions to advance prosperity and
the rule of law.
The suggestion has been made
that instead of a transition period
there should be a long military
armistice—from three to ten
years’ duration—instead of a Pro-
visional Peace.
An armistice is not peace. An
armistice is merely a cessation of
the killing of men, but leaves all
the other degenerative forces of
war in action. An armistice is
worse because it relaxes the war-
time disciplines without substitut-
ing the disciplines of peace-time.
It leaves the whole world sus-
pended between war and peace.
With its uncertainties there can
be no restoration of production or
stability of political order. In
view of the degeneration brought
about by the uncertainties of the
nine months’ armistice and the
subsequent delays in ratification
of treaties after the first war, we
tremble to contemplate what
would happen in the economic
and political uncertainties again
under such conditions.
The suggestion has been made
that a transition period will like-
wise prolong the unsettled econ-
omic condition of the world. That
ignores our proposal of a Provis-
ional Peace which would restart
economic life at once. Instead of
nearly a year'p delay and eco-
nomic degeneration, as after Ver-
sailles, while that Conference ar-
gued long-view questions and
secured ratifications, such an in-
stant Provlsiwiial Peace would
give an immediate impetus to the
resumption of economic life.

The Third Step to Peace
AT this distance from the last war we can take an overall view. We
A. know now that gigantic upheaval generated destructive forces
which lasted for years in economic dislocations, revolutions, conflict of
national interests, threats of war, and finally degenerated into renewed
world war. We must accept it as certain that a period of disturbing
years will elapse after the next victory over our enemies.
Therefore, it is urgent that we ♦ _
accept a transitional period of
growth of economic and political
stability and the solution of long-
view problems. During the transi-
tional stage the "Trustees of
Peace” should have the duty net
only to see that the terms of the
“provisional .peace” are carried
out but to maintain order in the
world and of equal importance to
erect the machinery for determin-
ing the solution of the long-view
problems. Among these long-view
questions are:
The further terms to be im-
posed upon enemy countries in-
cluding reparations and the
abolution of militarism.
Punishment of Axis leaders
and officials for criminal actions.
The disposition of territories
and peoples to be freed.
Settlement of private-property
questions, reparations, and in-
tergovernmental debts.
Final determination of the
boundaries and the assignment of
disputed areas.
The sutbiiuauon ot interna-
tional currencies and removal of
trade barriers.
Immediate reduction of the ar-
maments of the United Nations
themselves to the minimum forces
needed to maintain international
order and to enforce ultimate
peace provisions.
And finally, the erection of
some sort of world institution for
the preservation of peace.
There could be no difficulty of
imposing the final terms upon the
enemy. Acceptance of such fur-
ther terms should be a condition
ot the provisional peace, and it
should be recalled that when the
time comes to Impose them the
'enemy will have been disarmed.
Obviously, these problems must
be worked out by regional coun-
cils and special committees repre-
senting the United Nations. Later
on we discuss the importance and
duties of regional councils sepa-
rately for Europe, Asia, and the
Western Hemisphere to deal with
• Why not help your physician to
better serve you and your family
when real emergencies arise? Take
extra care to keep well. But when
first signs of sickness appear, call
yout physician at once. Phone only
during bis office hours and call him
to yout home only when it is im-
possible to visit his office.
To heed these simple suggestions is
to be a "partner" with your physi-
cian in keeping out wartime health,
standards higher.

million people, whose incomes
are below $5,000, may be elimi-
nated from filing an income tax
return by 1945 . . . Two major
issues Congress will tackle soon:
(1) dispostla of surplus war
materials, and (2) a post-war
foreign policy . . . All war sup-
plies will be surveyed to deter-
mine what can be released to
political questions. Even if tem-
porary or probationary they could
be each of them assigned such of
these long-view problems as are
local to their regions. Failure to
solve such problems would call
for action by the Trustees who
would also have to deal with in-
ter-regional problems. Moreover,
these regional councils could serve
to compose many current contro-
versies in their own regions and
could refer only unsolvable con-
flicts to the Trustees of Peace.
If such a structure were set up
at once firing ceases in each
region, it would relieve the “Trus-
tees” of an infinite number of
local questions, and if these coun-
cils proved a success, their work
would lay foundations for the
world institution to preserve
peace.
Even if there were a general
peace conference with a view to
complete peace-making such as
Versailles, such long-view prob-
lems would have to be dealt with
by regional or special committees
representing the interested vic-
torious nations. The work of all
these regional councils and spe-
cial committees should obviously
be under the direction and co-
ordination of the “Trustees of
Peace.” These regional and spe-
cial commissons should negoti-
ate and report. The acceptance of
their conclusions must be sub-
ject to acceptance by the various
nations involved.
Out of these conclusions and
from experience during this tran-
sitional period, we will know
more of the shape of things to
come before entering upon irre-
vocable commitments. Many of
these problems are intricate and
gigantic in dimensions. Some of
them require time. Many of them
must have that time for develop-
ment of world opinion. •
Even if somebody possessed an
absolute and perfect formula tor
solution of each of these gigantic
problems, no such settlements can
endure unless accepted at least by

Rise in Dairy Subsidy
Sharp increases in subsidy
rates for dairy producticn in
March and April are now ef-
fective. The subsidy program
is designed to compensate dairy-
men for increases in pr:duction
costs since ceiling prices were
placed on milk and butter and
dairy products, preventing the
increases being passed on to the
consumer. The new rates on
milk vary from a minimum of
50c t; a maximu of 80c a hun-
dred pounds. Farmers selling
butter fat ofily will get a flat
subsidy of eight cents a pound.
The War Food Administration
will reduce this rate during May
through August, as this is the
best pasture season and costs
cf production of milk are low-
er during this pericd.
