Five hours, five days, Five months epald be used to advantage and if in five years success crowned efforts to settle this complicated problem, it would be remarkable. Between the two countries, there are some 185 million people. To be sure some have been killed but before this world wide mass slaughter, there were 85 million In addition to the numbers there are other Germans and 102 million Japanese. This represents a lot of people. Thera are two strange idiologiH s major languages, two/pk~' es, two nations of active, alert, capable, industrious fanatic and watlike people, with which to deal. irrefutable attempt to e have evidence that these two nations want to rule the world and will / destroy it if they. are defeated in this dx objective. What, can we do to atop t.erd frn trying to achieve their nefarious ends again? urging: Some people would dispose of this knotty problem by "let's Ull would not be them all off".

If we could impr gnats them with the spiritual values that are fundamentally the basis of our thinking, we would find our troubles reduced to the minimum. While it is too much' tohope that the whole world will turn to God, something can be done kzxu-JhmKx in this dirt ction. Post ,cat-war plans should most certainly include emphasis on religi-us philospply. ,mod It is fundamental.
