In this column David Lawrence argues Congress should receive an increase to reflect higher expenses and unchanged take home pay amid wartime costs. He notes travel, housing, and entertainment expenses for members, tax treatments, and potential temptations of outside earnings, urging passage of a $2,500 annual expense allowance.
By Robert Quillen argues Sunday schools should adopt modern teaching methods guided by top child psychologists. He notes secular schools evolve while Sunday schools cling to old texts and calls for reform to attract and benefit pupils. The letter includes editorial musings on wartime patriotism and social roles.
George Matthew Adams argues beauty fuels happiness and moral growth. He cites daily exposure to beauty, from flowers and art to dining rooms and stations, as nourishing the mind, heart, and soul. He cites Beecher on beauty in churches and urges schools and towns to surround people with beauty to connect with creation.
A reflective note cites Goldsmith on life luck and personal agency, asserting that fortunate circumstances often arise from our own efforts. It frames a weathered view of fate with a lesson on responsibility and action shaping outcomes. The aphorism invites readers to consider how their choices influence the path they find.
By Arthur Bugs Baer the piece recalls hanging a European and African map that shaped writing hours, with daily flag changes and pins marking triumphs. He notes a missing element now, likening it to a distant memory of a cold winter when Niagara Falls froze and Buffalo awoke to a rare roar.
Marquis W. Childs argues Truman’s cabinet changes aim to streamline government and grant new powers to departments. Schwellenbach as labor secretary is praised for Capitol Hill knowledge and restored powers, while Anderson faces a strong start in agriculture. Ewing’s potential solicitor general post noted as politically sensitive.
Raymond Moley argues the coming British election will shape postwar policy and U.S. relations. Churchill seeks a quick wartime vote to preserve strength and leverage, while Labor challenges Tory policies. The result could affect Britain’s stance toward Russia, Japan, and international economic efforts.
In a critique by Dr. Wm Brady, the piece condemns quackery and praises trained physicians for their deep knowledge of anatomy physiology and sanitation. It argues patients deserve clear explanations and warns that failure to do so drives people to unreliable practitioners.
Editor Drew Pearson analyzes the Trieste controversy to argue for a formal peace machinery. He traces postwar planning from Teheran to Dumbarton Oaks and San Francisco, blaming power politics for delays and missteps. He cites tensions among Britain, the Soviet Union, and Tito’s Yugoslavia, warning that without concrete structures the postwar order remains unstable.
George E. Sokolsky argues that true press freedom vanished as Europe enters postwar control by wartime allies. He cites censorship, restricted access for American reporters, and the handling of prisoner cases as evidence that press freedom is sacrificed to political necessity, urging reciprocal press access and transparency.
Dr. Wiggem argues languages rarely aid understanding of foreign peoples as most students fail to learn enough to grasp life or read translations well. He notes reading Balzac in translation offers more insight than two years of studying French, and discusses reasons people justify actions and how true motives differ from perceived ones.
