AMPLE CAUSE FOR DIVORCE
The Atlanta Journal gives this
interesting story with respect to
action filed in Chicago court seek
ing divorce by a young wife:
“There is an ancient story about
a married couple who ordered ham
sandwiches in a restaurant and
when they were placed on the
table, the husband proceeded to
devour his, while the woman re-
trained from eating. Observinp
this the waitress inquired if them
was something wrong about her
sandwich, to which the woman
replied, “Oh, no; it's all right. r m

One of the smart Harvard profes
sors, now busy planning out the
Four Freedoms promised by the
Atlantic Charter, predicts that af
ter the war we will have 25-hour
work weeks and everybody will
have two homes. Since all peoples
ofthe world are to have freedom
trom want, freedom from worry
and free handouts, why any work
at all? Knowing as we do some of
the disagreeable features about
having to work we are unable to
figure out how a fellow could have
freedom from want and freedom

24 hours a week. It just simply

loans would carry 6 per cent in
terest. Payment of the loans would
be guaranteed by the government.
The bill is something entirely new
in finance. It is regrettable that
civilians who have paid heavy
taxes and kept the home fires
burning were not included as bene
ficiaries of the bill. Millions of
people in this country have longed
for a bank in every town that
would loan up to a thousand
without security. Such a bank in
any town, no matter how small,
would hardly be able to hire
enough extra help to take care of
the business the first day it
opened. Thousands who never
borrowed a dollar from a bank
would be on hand to sign up. His
bill ought to easily win the blue
ribbon for the Nevada senator as
being able to think up something
more ridiculous than anything
that even came from the brains of
all the crackpots in Washinyton.”
and the Nazis go out, the Prussian
military clique must go with
them.”
4' The masses in Germany must
be brought to realize that their
true interests cannot be served by
the ways of migandage and con
quest in which they have been
schooled and led for more than 200
years. Whether it was the Ger
man people who produced Fred
erick the Great, Bismark, the Kai
ser, and Hitler, or whether those
ruthless aggressors produced the
German nation is an academic
question which must be interest
ingly discussed. But in either case
the consequences are the same.
Not until the people of Germany
are convinced that aggression does
not pay and that their welfare lies
in a co-operative world of common
justice, will peace be secure.
They can be so convinced—when
their armies have been utterly de
feated, their criminal leaders pun
ished and their military caste
eliminated—by an Allied policy in
which necessary discipline is ac
companied by ample opportunities
for the German masses to earn and

In India—and we fear it is be
coming too much the same way in
America—a few support the many.
If a fellow doesn't want to work he
puts on the garb of a holy man
and seeks alms. He becomes a
parasite and makes religion of it.
Thus he signifies his worthless
ness. We don't think the world is
under any obligation to support a
holy man, unless he is willing to
perform some service. If he had a
job and was willing to work he
wouldn't want to be a holy man.
Basing his Sunday sermon on
“Team Work”—and a most time
ly one by Rev. F. J. Gilbert—we
are reminded of the recent state
ment of General MacArthur in
which he said: “It makes little dif
ference whether I or others wield
the weapon” that defeats Japan, is
an example of the kind of team
work that is needed to win the
war. Football teams have failed to
win, though of superior material,
because a player was disgruntled
when not allowed to carry the ball
for scores. General MacArthur s at
titude could be duplicated to great
advantage in Washington, where
some elements are attempting to
make political capital out of the
conduct of the war.
