A Noteworthy Birthday
We salute the Boy Scouts of America ion its, 45th birtlw
day, now being observed during Boy Scout Week, Feb. 6 to
12.
•Since its founding in 1910 the organization, has enriched
the lives of over 22,750,000 boys and adult leaders. Truly
Scouting represents a living cross section of American life.
Boys of every race, religion and economic background
are attracted to Scouting. Today we find 2,700,000 boys in
its ranks. Add to that the impressive figure the 960,000
adults of good character who give generously of their time
and talents to serve as leaders of units, Merit Badge Counselors and in many other capacities. There is hardly an
American family that has not felt its influence.
Dr. Arthur A- Schuck, the Chief Scout Executive, a
leader in the organization since 1913, feels that it is of vital
importance to train the boys of today to be ready for positions of leadership as they grow to manhood.
"Strong character, • participating citizenship and physical fitness," he says, are needs of our boys and young men
who are served by the program of Scouting in cooperation
With the home, the school, the church, and all other community institutions actively interested in training our fu*
ture; citizens."
Scoutuig's purpose, stated in the Federal "Charter
granted by Congress in 1916, is to promote the "ability of
boys to do things for themselves and others, to train them
inScoutcraft, and to teach them patriotism, courage, self-
reliance and kindred virtues."
Every member of the nation's 95,000 Scouting Units is
indeed "having some kind of experience that is adding to
his equipment to meet the problems of adult life!"
It is that training that we heartily endorse on this noteworthy birthday.
Peace, It's Wonderful
Our 84th Congress has opened on a note of cautious optimism, legislatively speaking. Not very many serious bombshells of a new order are likely tlo be exploded, although a
few old ones are already planted in the hopper. But, by and
large, the new Senate and House are waiting for developments. -• ,
If the pick-up in business throughout the country develops as the experts predict, there will be less likelihood of
major changes in such legislation as the Taft-Hartley Act.
the corporate provisions of the current Income Tax Law, jancl
our tariff policy. On the oemplex issues of foreign policy,
there is likely to be a far larger area of agreement than we i
can expect on domestic issues. By this time, the termination ;
of the great need fot conttnued assistance on a monumental
scale for our allies is within-sight, if not sound. A policy of
gradually reducing the extent of our help will undoubtedly
grow* out :pf "the 84th Congress. ...

One Man's Reasons For Joining
The Ground Observers' Corps
Someone asked Mr. Edward Lovett why he was a member of he Ground Observer Corps. After answering- the man,
Mr. Lovett was not satisfied with what he had said so he
went home and wrote the following:
"Why am I a GOC member?
Some say that I am crazy, some
say that I have ...time on my
hands and nothing better to do
with it. Some ask me if I have
spotted any Russian planes lately. 1 pray it be God's win that
none ever come over to spot.

Highlights World Tensions
If the tensions throughout the Wiorld are to be surmounted in 'bur lifetime without the destruction of World
War III, our statesmen will have to find some "way to meet
the complex problems of the Asiatic continent. What has
been happening there is equivalent /(jo a revolution, although
it has not taken place with the sudidenfiess of previous revolutionary movements. In the 20th Century, he db'muiatibn
of Asia by the Western Pdwers Kas Bph terminated. Britain, France, and the Netherlands nave been cbnipelled to
give up, bit by bit,, their strategic .territories as tne demand
for self-rule permeated India, Malaya and Indonesia.
The Chinese problem has become more sharply flcitte
than all of the others because there the Communists have
fashioned a civil war ate their' special wmrilmtion to the
revolutionary spirit. Their rkajor argument with their own
people in connection with Formlosa is the charge that Formosa is being withheld by the Western Powers as a potential jumping-off place for the re-conquest iof China by the;
West. We can expect a whole S6rie3 of "crises in the "F^r
East. Formosa; will be the first, but it will iiot.be-etna -last
unless we can sit down with the aplostles of force and some-
