"The world security organization
recently formed will depend upon
teamwork for its blood,” declared
Mr Bettencourt. “From now on we
must attempt to settle our griev-

be able to find a basis for compro-

“The VFW believes that economic
fair play i» as important as »n in-

lishment of a peaceful woiid,’ Mr.
Bettencourt added.
"We must scrap our old ideas
about so-callei foreign and domestic
affairs. ’The word ’foreign' is mis-
leading. It implies that events that
happen thousands of miles away are
•foreign’ to our interests. We know
this is not true. For example, a low

I fed like I'm home already
As a kid I lived near the Southern Pacific
Line. We got up when the “Argonaut" rolled
by in the misty dawn and went to bed to the
throb of the Sunset Limited thundering west
into the night. I knew every engineer along
the line and old Mr. Dan, the station agent,
was my buddy from the time I was knee-high
to a ear wheel.
I just landed hack in the States for my first
furlough in 32 months. And stepping onto the
platform of a good old S.P. train makes me
feel like I'm home already.
* * *
That’s the way most folks feel about the
Southern Pacific — and that’s the way we like
them to feel. For in spite of our tremendously
increased war traffic we are still trying to see
that these who must travel can do so in com-
parative comfort. Though our service may not
always meet our strict pre-war standards, there
has been no rationing of friendliness and
courtesy.
We appreciate your understanding and co-
operation and hope you'll give us a chance to
show you again some day just how smooth and
efficient friendly Southern Pacific service is
at its best.
