PEACE TERMS
“We will win the war and the peace which follows.”
So said President Roosevelt shortly after the outbreak of the
present conflict.
With little evidence so far that we are winning the war,
nevertheless Senators last week were talking that the terms on
which peace is based wall mean much to future generations.
However, it is going to be a long war, the winning of which
is our first, foremost and supreme goal right now. We believe
the terms of peace, upon which world peace for all time must
be founded, (should be ca'mly> deliberately thought out. Last
week’s expressions of the Senators seem to us the product of
snap judgment.
Said Senator Scott W. Lucas, Democrat, of Illinois:
“Japan should be reduced to the point where for 1,000 years
she will have no control or force in the family of nations. That
goes for Germany and Italy,, too. We can never have a lasting
peace until Hitlerism and the philosophy which exists among
the 'Axis powers is destroyed. The peace we make is just as
important as the war we are conducting.”
Declared Senator John J. Davis, Republican, of Pennsylvania:
“When we win the war we should put a steel wall around
Japan. We should help make China a powerful, independent na
tion which could become a stabilizing force in the Orient.”
More conservative was the viewpoint of Senator George W.
Norris., Jndependent, of Nebraska, who said.
"I believe the Al ies should first disarm Germany, Italy and
Japan, provide sufficient food to keep the inhabitants of thojse
nations alive immediately after the cessation of hostilities, and
then work out a long-range peace program."
Developments between now and the time the war ends may
in many ways temper these opinions. We hear rumblings of dis
satisfaction among the Italian and German civilian populations.
There may' be a revolt in Axis nations against their dictatorial
leadership. Certainly, these manifestations would receive some
consideration in the dictation of peace terms.
Th history of civililation and its wars has pointed to the fact
that a downtrodden power will find some way of rising up ag
ainst its oppressors. We did it to earn our freedom frtom the
English iking. When such a revolt starts, the world has another
war on its hands.
We believe a peace which will allow major powers to dom
ineer weaker nations, either from an economic or a military
standpoint, will eventually' prove a failure. We believe a peace
which will allow unscrupulous, ambitious rabble-rousers of the
Hitler, Mussolini type to seize control of any nation and enforce
their crackpot selfish interests by force of arms, must be avoided.
“We think eventual and lasting peace on this earth of ourS
must be a peace of international understanding, which will break
down boundary lines and be built upon the foundation of, not a
brotherhood of nations, but a brotherhood of man.

Schedule of 0?i\
Many small foundries and ma
chine shops in areas where min
ing, operations are carried on, as
well as the nrnes themselves,
will benefit by an amendment to
Preference Rating Order P-56,
announced in December by the
Priorities Division. Order P-56
facilitates the acquisition of re-!
pair, maintenance and operating |
supplies by mines.
The clause in the amendment
which is particularly helpful to
local enterprises is the one which
assigns an extendible rating of
A-3 to the acquisition of new
mining machinery, and of repair
parts, by a mine operator. This
rating may be used by a mine,
to which a serial number under
the order has been assigned, to
secure the machinery, and repair
parts for it, listed in Schedule
“A” attached to the order. Thus,
a local shop may receive the
benefits of the A-3 rating by ex
tending it, if necessary, to ac
quire the materials necessary to;
fill orders received from a mine.
Preference Rating Order P-23,
which extended a rating of A-3
to the acquisition of materials
entering into mining machinery,
was issued only to known manu
facturers, and hence was not
available to the many small busi
nesses which will now be able to
fill a portion of the mines’ re
quirements. This Order (P-23) is
not affected by the amendment.
Other clauses in the amend
ment assign an A-l-a rating to
deliveries of materials hen there
has been an actual breakdown or
suspension of operations, and the
essential repair parts are not
otherwise aavilable; an A-l-c rat
ing to deliveries of material up
to the minimum required to
make reasonable advance provi
sions to avert actual breakdown
or suspensions; and A-3 rating to
deliveries of essential material
or equipment of the types listed
in Schedule “A”; an A-3 rating
to deliveries of essential machin
ery or equipment of types other
than those listed in the schedule,
provided that they are for use in
the actual production operation
of a mining enterprise.
Before applying the A-l-a and
A-l-c breakdown ratings, a mine
operator must make application
to the Director of Priorities. The
same is true of the use of the A-3
rating available for the purchase
of new machinery listed in Sched
ule "A”.
In order to apply the A-3 rat
ing to deliveries of spare parts
! to the approved type of machin
ery, and the A-8 rating to del
iveries of machinery and equip-,
inent other than the types listed
in Schedule “A” the mine oper
ator to whom a serial number
| has been issued need only en
dorse on his purchase orders the
. following statement, “Materials
for a Mining Enterprise, Rating
A-— under Preference Rating
Order P-56, Seriol No. — and in
compliance therewith.”
The amendment also extends
the benefits of the order to re
fractory plants wholly engaged
in the processing and burning of
refractories, and to approved
prospecting enterprises.
Mine operators, who have been j
issued serial numbers under the
original P-56, are being notified
that these numbers will remain
in effect, and that they should
continue to use them under the:
amended order.
Applications, and inquiries con
cerning Preference Rating Order
P-56 should be addressed to the
Mine Priorities Section, OPM.

Washington Current Comment
o
Congress is busied with an at
tempt to see to it that the fam
ilies of soldiers who die on duty
shall not be left in penury. The
Senate Finance Committee has
approved a hill providing a
death payment of $5,000. The Sen
ate has before it a p!an under
which a $10,000 life insurance
oolicy will be issued gratis to
each soldier, for the period of
the war and six months there
after. The President has before
him a measure giving widows a
pension of from $30 to $83 per
month, regardles of the soldier’s
rank, the amount of the pay
ment being determined by the
age and number of children and
the age of the widow.
Pearl Harbor Responsibility
For a decade after the cele
brated British Light Brigade
went to near-annihilation, there
was heated debate as to who was
responsible. According to Tenny
son’s poem, “Someone had blun
dered.” The change in command
ing army and navy officers,
which followed the trip of Sec
retary Knox to Hawaii, indicates
that the United States has on
hand, a problem of the Light Bri
gade variety. Mr. Knox is quot
ed as believing that there was a
lack of alertnes. Personal respon
sibility will be fixed byl thq
board selected by the President.
A large majority of the bench of
curbstone judges coincide with
Secretary Knox. A dissenting
minority is of the opinion that
in time of peace there is no rea
son for expecting attack, and
that the proper place for war
ships is in a harbor.
War Situations At Home
The war already is creating in
cidents that run the entire range
from grave to gay. In Philadel
phia, a woman presents herself
at a recruiting station to take up
the work at the place where her
dead warrior son dropped it, and
is given a job. An Illinois town
has a Christmas display in which
Santa Claus is shown kicking
Hitler. Three of the Kelley fam
ily in Rhode Island go into the
Navy to square the score for the
killing of their Uncle Pat. Those
who play cards for something
other than pleasure will ante,
see and raise their opponents in
defense stamps, if a system or
iginating in New York City is
followed. Hackensack, N. J., is
about to change the name of Mus
solini Avenue.
Intolerance In War-Time
As of April, 1940, New York
City had a foreign-born popula
tion of approximately 28 per cent
and of that group. 62 percent had
been naturalized. In a recent
speech Wendell L. Willkie said:
“Under the stress and strain of
combat, the spirit of intolerance
always rises. Suspicion begins to
grow and fingers are pointed. I
pledge mystelf to fight to the
fullest extent against such in
tolerance." It is a pledge that all
will do well to take. Actions are
a trustworthy cue of disloyalty.
The same cannot be said of sur
names, as an examination of the
rolls of many a Legion Post, and
of the tombstones in many a na
tional cemetery, will establish.
Choke Wartime Curiousitv
The authorities give out no list
of war casualties, the next of
kin being notified privately.
There is need of a law or exec
utive order curtailing in many
other respects the spreading of
information that might be use
ful to an enemy. The public
should not be hoodwinked as to
the general state of affairs, nor
shou'd the inefficient be white
washed: yet there must be a mid
dleground between too much sec
recy and too much bulletin work.
A great deal is being said about
the necessity for sacrifice. Until
definite regulations are laid
down about the giving out of
war news the individual can help
by sacrificing on a small scale
and painlessly: namely by giving
a moderate choking constriction
to curiousity.
The 21 to 44 Compromise
England has elongated the
draft period, to reach from 184-2
to 50 years of age. The limits
proposed for the United States
by the Executive were 19 to 44.
The House decided that 21 to 44
would have to do. The Senate
fixed the figures at 19 to 44, and
after conference, 20 to 44 was
accepted as a compromise. Presi
dent Roosevelt has been criticiz
ed adversely for many of his
acts, and perhaps some will now
take a jab at him for the implic
ation that an American at 44 is
worth no more than an English
man at 50. Almost anything can
be used as a basis for fault find
ing.
