MOTHER’S DAY
The second Sunday in May,
Mother’s Day, presents mankind
ail opportunity to honor the liv-
ing and revere the memory of
departed mothers.
Mere words cannot adequate-
ly proclaim the heartfelt grati-
tude of sons and daughters
whose lives have been blessed by
devoted mothers.
The mother, loving and belov-
, ed, not only inspires her child-
ren, but more particularly, by
precept and example, teaches,-
trains, uplifts and improves her
children.
The homage that men and
lation that American
participated in the
Tokyo on April 18,
been executed, con-
bestial nature of our
but, in the light of
what the Japanese have been do-
ing in the Far East for years,
should occasion little surprsie.
Naturally, there will be anger
against the depraved brutality
of the Japanese Government —
which executes soldiers fighting
for their country. This anger,
however, must not affect our
military decisions or turn us off
from the strategic policy which
has been adopted and followed
by the officials charged with
the determination of our war
policy.
The pepole of the U. S. have
beep very patient in their atti-
tude toward the Japanese. For
seven years before Pearl Harbor,
our national policy was one of
appeasement to Japan and ev-
erything was done to avoid pre-
cipitating a conflict in the Pa-
cific.
Despite the sinking of the Pa-
nay and indignities inflicted on
American citizens, the United
States, unprepared for Avar, had
UP TO BUSINESS MEN
Speaking recently to execu-
tives of lending financial, indus-
trial and business corporations
of NeAV York, Jesse H Jones,
Secretary of Commerce, urged
them to plan for peace, pointing
out that after the war Ave must j
find employment for persons I
Avillmg to Avork by maintainingj
high levels of production and!
this Avill necessitate the location j
of markets for the output .of our j
farms and factories.
Mr. Jones pointed out that the
current estimate of the “prob-
able cost of this Avar to the Uni-
ted States” is tAvo hundred and
fifty billions. Significant!}’, he
added, economic losses reported
during the depression period,
from 1930 to 1939, totaled more
than that amount.
Obviously, as Mr. Jones has
declared, if Ave are to pay the
cost of this Avar, v^q cannot af-
ford another depression, which
can be avoided only if private
j initiative and private capital ac-
Avomen pay at the shrine of mo- j-0 submit to these humiliations,
therhoocl is but a token of mem-j While no man can say Avhen

years, with parenthood and un-
derstanding, are often necessary
before one fully appreciates the
service and sacrifice of mothers.
Let us not forget hoAvever,
that, in the Avords of Thackery,
“Mother is the name for God in
the lips and hearts of little chil-
dren. ’ ’
Coleridge called a mother “the*
holiest thing" alive” and George
Herbert thought one good moth-
er “ivorth a hundred schoolmas-
ters”. A Spanish proverb adds,
“An ounce of mother is Avorth a
ton of priest”.
Most gratifying is the Yiddish
proverb, “God could not be ev-
rywliere, so He made mothers”.
come the time Avhen American,
British and Chinese soldiers Avill
assume control of Japan. On that
day, the rulers of Japan Avill pay
a just penalty for their mis-
deeds.
The execution of Japanese of-
ficials, military and civil, avIio

crimes is required in order that
future generations of Japanese
Avill understand the penalties
that Avill folloAV frightfulness.

eept the opportunity to replace
the government in business.
In short, financial, industrial
and business executives must be
ready, when peace comes, with
something more than complaints
and criticisms. They must be
ready to lead the world in its
post-war development.

“RETURN?”
We see Avhere a group of Eu-
ropean churchmen have appealed
for a “return to God” as an an-
swer to the problems that beset
the Avorlcl.
This is a generalization often
used to those Avho admit that
they are on the inside with the
Almighty and that others are in
need of advice, instruction and,
perhaps, punishment.
We certainly are not ready to
admit that mankind has turned
from God, even if expounders of
religion assert it to be a fact.
The people of the world may
not understand God, they may
not live perfect lives and they
may be too ignorant to
many issues, but for the
part, they are anxious to
the living God.

"WHAT 0©I$ SHE
MEAN, SACRIFICE?”
"Did you hear that. She says sacrifice.
Cutting down on coffee — driving the
car less — saving tin cans. Is that sacri-
fice? Is buying War Bonds sacrifice? Why,
if we had to get along without thousands
of things we enjoy, we’d still be doing
very little compared to what those men
in the service are doing for us.
"They don’t talk about sacrifice. They
talk about getting a job done — an im-
portant job. All they’re asking us to do is
give them a lift.”
