Organized labor apparently recognises the implication that public demand, as discerned from letters to our lawmakers, calls fo» Congress to put an end to labor disturbances and "business' as usual" policies of industry. Under this real threat responsible spokesmen for the two major trade unions have volunteered to waive double time on Sundays and holidays. The erstwhile supporters of social legislation, like Senator Pepper, apparently realize that the constituents back home are not satisfied with such proposals for Pepper frankly admitted that it was high-time to stop some of the trifling by various classes of citizens. Pepper wants legislation passed to give the j government power to assign labor i wherever necessary without regard to class or sex so as to insure the equitable distribution of war burdens. Aiaimed by the desertion of many of their leaders, the various blocs in Congress are now claiming that Congress cannot take the leadership on the theory that it is the responsibility of ] liie Chief executive. If so, the buckpassing game is played on all fronts, j The high cost of state and local government debt, to say nothing of the | huge Federal obligations, is illustrat- | ed in the findings of the Census Bur- | eau. The interest payments alone I during the fiscal year of 1941 are esj timated at $774 million for the securities issued by local and state agendas. | With the addition of the $1,111 million | interest payments on the Federal pub^ | lie debt -- Federal, state and local -- amounted to $1,885 million. This la equivalent to $14 for each person In the continental United States. Lower interest rates reduced the costs considerably. The total volume of State and local government interest-bearing securities outstanding on June 30, 1941 are estimated at $19 860 million. Of this amount, $18,716 million wore long-term securities and $1,144 million were short-term securities, ,;*m| within one year.

FEWER RELIGIONS HORE RE^IGIOK thoughtful, more tolerant of others about us, can suffering really be alleviated. Sympathetic understanding and consideration of our neighbors, Our friends, yes, even of our enemies will enable us to overlook their supposed faults which so greatly annoy us. America is fighting a great war against cruelty ahd oppression -- against the pagan doctrine that any people has the right to force its dictum on another people. So far the battle has gone against us. We fear the tide will not turn in our favor until we abandon our materialism and stop demanding rights which we neither have earned nor deservfe. Even if we defeat our military enemies. we can still lose the war if we do Hot as a nation experience a spiritual regeneration; if we do not substitute the words "sympathy, under- Standing and sacrifice" for "my rights and gimme." There is to much of hatred, brutality and suffering running rampant in the world today. Let us resolve here and now, not to add to the world's woe by any harsh word or covert act of ours. Let us further resolve to be more cheerful, more kindly, more selfsacrificing to those about us, beginning with our own family and^reaehing out to all with whom we cdme ii\. contact. Self-sacrifice is the child of love and love is of the being of God. Yes, we need fewer religions and more religion -- less hatred and more love -- less cursing and more prayer--less "gimmes" and more giving. If we purge ourselves, both material and spiritual victory ultimately must be ours.

Recently we had the pleasure of seeing "How Green Is My Valley?", the motion picture adjudged the best of 1941. It sets forth all the misfortunes of mankind brought about Dy brutality, evil-mindedness and thoughtlessness. It emerges a great film, achieving dramatic power because the baser qualities of mankind are contrasted with the sweet and fine. It made us realize once again just how unnecessary is most of the suffering^ e see about us. A little of it can /be cured by Government regulation and legislation, but it goes deeper than that and becomes our responsibility-- yours, dear reader, and ours. Some of us are deluded with the idea that Government by itself can adjust the relationships of' men. Others among us, believe that going to church or supporting the church end our obligation to society. The former is futile, the latter false.
