Friday, December 7, 1951. PAGE 2 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN 4 ti A .t Uncle Sam's Boys Tom Rische News not exactly caluculated to soothe the nerves of college students came out this week in the form of a statement by Brig. Gen. Guy N. Henntager. The general said that at least some college draft deferments might have to be can celled because of the rapidly decreasing supply of manpower for the draft All Americans naturally want to do as much as they can to promote the defense of their country. When there is a clear and present need, there is little question in anybody's mind as to the proper course of action. There are, however, several questions which arise. Reports have come back from several camps that conditions are greatly overcrowded and that men have to wait a long period of time before getting into schooL If this is so, why are men being inducted at such a high rate? Defense authorities make much of the fact that University men are vitally needed for leadership positions. But there are any number of men who are being placed in positions for which they had no previous experience. And some of them were well-equipped in other fields. There are bound to be mistakes, but sometimes it looks as if they were made too frequently. A number of reserves in Lincoln were called up shortly after the Korean war began and then released a few months later without getting any closer to combat than a stateside army camp. Maybe this is doing some good. It's hard to say. Tho thins that disturbs a lot of people is the fact that once we are armed to the teeth, what are we going to do with all the service men if. there is no war? It is fine to be prepared.; but what do we do with all the preparations if there is no war? We would have a huge standing army with little to do but stand, i Another thing that disturbs many people is the increasing amount of money being spent on mill .tary preparation. The military is becoming more and more powerful in American life. The pre World War II soldier was Considered, for the most part, as somebody who couldnt get any other job. Now, the military man is greatly admired. The United States has never been a nation dominated by the military. Many people believe it would be a mistake to start now. Governor Peterson has suggested the possi bility of setting up training for the young men of the nation in the colleges and high schools of America. It might be a plan which would be more practical and certainly less expensive than induc tion of an individual for, periods of two to four years. Certainly much of the training could be given right at home. There is some which cannot be given at home, but there are basic things which can be taught in the classroom. It doesn't make too much difference whether that classroom is in a service camp or at home. If the service really needs college students, j the vast majority would be clad to serve. But is such service a matter of life or death for the country? your church Ten Years Ago Joan Krueger It was just ten years ago when so many of us heard the calm voice of a radio announcer "We interrupt this program to bring you an im portant news event-" And we learned that the fuse which set off the most horrible of modern wars "World War II was lit The Japanese had attacked Pearl Harbor. From that minute on for five terrifying years we lived in continual consciousness of war and its ramifications. If we had brothers or sisters, other relatives or friends overseas, we lived in constant fear we would be the next to ret the telegram starting: "... we regret to in form yon . . Many of us experienced the feel ing. , We began reading of discouraging losses in the South Pacific and of disheartening defeats on the European front And the casualty list grew and the nation mobilized for war. Parents and friends became air raid wardens and we had trial black outs. Industry expanded and we set production records unequalled in the history of the world. Popular song hits turned to war themes "Coming In on a Wing and a Prayer," "Goodnight Soldier," "Johnny Doughboy" remember? Eventually headlines became a little more encouraging. We read about D-Day that mem orable day in June 1944 when allied troops landed on the French coast for the invasion. We beard about the African campaign and the bloody, slow drive toward Rome. In the South Pacific we began to believe General Mac Arthur was making good his promise to return to the Philippines, and we recaptured the islands where we first were forced to withdraw. ' V-E day in 1945 left us free to concentrate ef forts in the Pacific. In August soon after the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima allied and Japanese officials met on the battleship Missouri to sign declarations ending the fighting. Today Yanks and Nippons rub sholders in Japan. They have baseball games and products are sold in this country bearing "Made in Occupied Japan." Yes, that war is over. It seems a little futile to spend five years in bloody conflict to send just five years later Amer ican troops to another battle area. But beyond the immediate pessimism there is a more favor able side. Our enemy no longer is the axis and today we face communism which promises to be just as terrifying as former enemies. We cannot lose faith. We have an International body dedicated to promotion of international peace and security the United Nations. Its record in the social and economic field is encouraging and we should remember that war must be stopped in minds of men. Qauses which motivate these minds must be eliminated. We formed a peace treaty with Japan which is revolutionary to past treaties. No longer did we, as the victorious, demand un reasonable war reparations and privileges. We eventually are gaining support of other free nations .to rally against the forces of communism, and the UN is making a military stand against this force. Truly, the world offers no promising picture today. But on the horizon there appears a new faith and new courage to fight causes and indica tions of war. We know how terrible wars can and would be in the future. Our efforts must be directed toward elimin ation of any factors that might encourage future conflicts. To this end we must strive or our end will be forthcoming. There Is no better time to recognise this than on the anniversary of Pearl Harbor.

Ed. note: Aathor of this week's sermonette Is the Rev. Lyle K. Anderson, student pastor of the Evangelical United Brethren, city campus.) Luke 2:14 "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among men with whom He is well pleased!" Much has been said in the past generation about a basis for a Just and enduring peace. The sug gested "Four Freedoms" provide excellent material for such a quest The Treaty of Peace signed re cently with Japan gives room for encouragement as to the manner in which a victorious people shoirld deal with a defeated people. But there Is one thing of which I am per sonally convinced: peace must spring from the "grass roots" of a people. And that movement must be so strong that political and economic leaders will be compelled to lay aside selfish reasons for fostering war and be compelled to pay attention to the wishes of the people. It is probably true that the so-called "common" people of every nation want peace. However, in the face of present day conditions, it must also be true that the "common" people are either unable or, unwilling to make the sacrifices that will produce j peace for all the world. Even the "common" people j seem to be guided by the motive of getting what the other fellow has by means fair or foul. Yet our only hope for world peace lies in the bosoms of these very folk such as yon and me. The message of God centuries ago was "And on earth peace among men with whom be is well pleased." Men of avarice, ill-will, and godless ness will never bring the world to a dawn of peace. Peace will rise. first of all among men with whom God is well pleased men who have learned the lessons of "good will'" in their every day walk life. When a man has acquired the ability to live in peace with God and one other fellow man, he has found the key to peace on earth for all mankind. The success with which he can add additional men to his circle determines how long that peace will be in coming. In the end it is up to you it is up to me!
