THIS SHRINKING WORLD
President Truman took cognizance ol this small and in-
terdependent world when he announced, in his latest report
to the nation, that we shall maintain and acquire such mili-
tary bases as are necessary for our future defense.
Following and clarifying as it did the Presidents dis-
avowal of territorial ambition, this statement also served
notice that America has learned at least one great lesson
It's part ol that record which

while life would be pretty grim, any winning by the defeat- illinn,m, the wounded back to i ma-tcrv ., u.,-tim-
ed enemy would be not only fruitless, but time-wasting. In; hospitals j'up himself utU't-iv .with the

So now the Germans under American control know what
is in store and what they can do about it. If they behave
decently they won't be molested. But neither will they be ;
helped. Their fate is of their own devising, and their salva-
tion is in their own hands.
So they are now to get to work and harvest their crop.- j
put their wrecked houses in livable condition, cut the win-
ter firewood for their coallcss furnaces. All of which should
keep them so busy as to leave little time for self-pity—which
will be a considerable help to evcryboclv. including the Ger-
mans.
“if we let Europe go cold and hungry,” President Tru-
man has warned, “we may lose some of the foundations of
order on which the hope for world peace must rest. We
must, help to the limit of our strength, and we will.”
This urgent request of the President's is now being im-
plemented by the nationwide Community Canning Program
for War Relief. Organized by UNRRA. the U. S. Office of
Education ,the Camp Fire Girls and Girl Scouts, it is assist-
ing in the packing and collection of surplus food from .Amer-
ica's farms and town gardens for shipment to war-ravaged
and war-disrupted countries across the ocean.
If every housewife will can 10 per cent mon' fruit and
vegetables from the garden than is needed for her family's
use, the serious threat of a winter famine among the non-
German victims of war can be alleviated.
