The Common
Defense
By Rev. William C. Kernan.
The Hoot of Our Trouble
Some people may advocate
forgetting the recent race
riots in Detroit and other
cities. But they should not
be forgotten. Trying to for-
aret wiil not eliminate the
causes of racial disturbance,
nor set in motion the ideas
and measures which can ef-
fect its cure.
At the root of all racial
persecution is the distorted
belief that man is an instinc-
tive animal whose life con-
sists in satisfying his instinc-
tive urges and emotional
drives. Our "education has
been too much devoted to in-
structing* people to be them-
selves in the sense that they
have no higher end than to
do what they feel like doing.
Many think that this is what
freedom is. To be free
means for them to do what
pleases them or what their
feelings prompt them to do.
But the proper aim of educa-
tion should be to set the which
mind free so that it can act
as sovereign over the whole
life—over the appetites and
insHnrts anH pmnt.inins. Tt is
then that a man can act, in
command of his instincts, for
higher than personal ends,
for the good of society, and
not exclusively in his own in-
terests. It is then that to be
free means to be able to do
the thing which is right,
rather than to do the thing
which is momentarily pleas-
urable and selfish.
When religion speaks about
the obligation of a man to do
the will of God, this is what
is meant — the will of God
r e p r e senting the things
which are perfectly good ana
wholly loving. When religion
says that the service of God
is perfect freedom, that is
what is meant. The service
of God is to do the thing
is perfectly good and
wholly loving. It is to be
free of the domination of the
passions which enslave man-
kind. command them and
everything else in the service
of justice and goodness,
beauty and truth. Men who
are filled with hatred of oth-
er races and religions are not
free men. They are slaves
of their hatred. Laws are
useful for shielding the inno-
cent from their evil designs
and deeds, but laws alone can
not free the haters of their
hatred. Only good religion
and sound education can.
Democracy cannot exist
except as it is the reflection
of the minds of men emanci-
pated from the tyranny of
the passions and huts. Lack-
ing this emancipation we do
not get freedom, but license
which degenerates to racial
persecution and anarchy. But
with the liberation of the
mind, we get order, beauty,
goodness, justice, truth —
freedom to choose and to do
the good in accordance with
the will of God Tt i« from
these things that democracy
draws its life and its per-
manence.
Can We Have Peace?
By Ruth Taylor.
What do we want after
this war? We say we want
an enduring peace, that we
are fighting to destroy the
ideologies of aggression and
oppression that have forced
war upon the world.
We can have peace—if we
want it. The trouble is that
up to now we have never
wanted peace enough to put
aside our own petty desires
and prejudices and selfish
wishes for ourselves to have
it. Peace has never come
first in our lives.
To have peace, we must
see to it that all people have
an opportunity to progress.
As Mme. Chiang Kai Shek
said: "Nations, like indi-
viduals, can only perma-
nently enjoy privileges and
rights if they are willing to
share them with others. If
they attempt to preserve
them solely for themselves,
they will lose them.”
We can have peace if we
eradicate the causes of war,
if we stop troubles before
they start. If we are law-
abiding, we will create faith
in laws. We cannot expect
those who are brought up to

think it smart to evade the
law/, to keep the laws.
We can have peace if wc
will train for peace. If we so
plan our educational system,
we can eradicate in the next
generation the hatreds, re-
sentments, prejudices and
distrusts which have bogged
down all attempts at under-
standing in the past.
We can have peace if we
will work at it as hard as we
work at war. We cannot
wipe out the causes of war
by law, but we can wipe them
out by understanding. Under-
standing is built upon knowl-
edge, and knowledge means
applied learning.
We state that we believe in
the equality of all before
God. Now we must prove
our faith in that creed by af-
fording to each the equal op-
portunity, the equality of
rights to which they are cor-
respondingly entitled.
We have the vision of
peace expressed in the Four
Freedoms and in the pact of
the United Nations. We must
also have the practical appli-
cation of that vision in the
terms of every day living, in
our economic and political
structure. Only freedom
which is strong can endure,
and only a peace that is made
by free men in a world free
for all can survive. We can
have peace—if we want it.

The Breath of Life
By Dr. Victor G. Heiser.
There are many causes of
unconsciousness. When an
injury or other condition in-
terferes with the delivery of
oxygen to the lungs and body
cells, a person becomes un-
co n s c ious, or technically
speaking, asphyxiated. Chok-
i n g, submersion, electric
shock, or the inhalation of
carbon monoxide or other
gas may be the cause of as-
phyxiation. Drowning, which
is submersion, produces as-
phyxia, whether the air pas-
sages become filled with wa-
ter, blood, pus, or other sub-
stances. All swimmers and
those who engage in water
sports should be familiar
with the method to be used
| to revive those whose breath-
ing is interfered with due to
submersion.
Delay of but a matter of
moments may cause serious
and even fatal results. A
victim of asphyxiation usu-
ally is not breathing, or does
,so obviously only with great
difficulty. The first object
is to restore nature breath-
ing as rapidly as .possible.
Delay in doing so within two
or more minutes may be
fatal.
The Schafer Method
When possible, one person
should bosen all clothing and jti^e shiny, having our
remove a!! foreign fcediee shoes half-soled
collected under the
in the basement,
that poured from
somewhere so profusely
inexpensively that
ever thought about
twice, except how to get rid
of them. Of course we were
supposed to give the ndfifc
bottles back to the milkman
and the few cents profit mu
beverage bottles made thasa
worthwhile for small boys.
But for the most part wje.
thought no more about an*,
empty bottle than we Uidi
about a piece of used wrap-,
ping paper. ^
This was typical of Amer -
ica in pre-war days. These*
was such an abundance of::
everyday necessities in this*.,
big country of ours that we r
wasted things thoughtlessly^
Not only containers but tha*.-
foods that came in them. Wer
didn’t wear our clothes out
and we took dubious care of
our household equipment be-
cause it was so easy to get
more. / j
Today the food processor*
of the country are asking for
bottles complete with their
metal #caps. Those millions
upon millions of them stand-
ing idly in kitchens and pan- -
tries and basements and ga-
rages from Maine to Cali-
fornia, because even bottle
factories have important war
jobs to do. Today we’re tak-
ing meticulous care of refrig-
erators and vacuum cleaners
and garden hose and lawn
mowers because we can't re-
place them. Today we're
wearing our clothes until

from the mouth, while an-
other begins artificial respi-
ration. No delay must occur.
Respiration should be re-
stored at once, without truo-
bling to move the victim
too far.
In case of drowning or un-
consciousness from electrical
shock the victim should be
placed face downward on the
ground with a thick folded
garment or a pillow under
the the lower part of the
chest. The mouth and nose
should be cleared when ob-
structed. No preliminary
manipulation of the tongue
is necessary.
The operator kneels astride
one thigh of the patient, fac-
ing his head. He then places
his hands flat on the back
ovef the lower ribs, and
gradually throws the weight
of his body forward, so as to
make firm pressure, thus
compressing the chest and
forcing air out of the lungs.
Still retaining his hands in
position, he then brings his
ana mend-
ing our stockings because
there’s a limited supply of aH
these things in this nation
at war.
And isn’t it strange thar
now, while we save and mend
and go without, we appre-
ciate as never before the
abundance that used to sur-
round us?. We know now
how eff.cfent and prolific our
industrial system has been
and we see how important
that was. Because it was by
the creation of this unprece-
dented wealth of everyday
necessities that our free In-
dustry acquired the skill and
the Strt.ngtn that made it
possible for America to at-
ton.sh the world with her
