S. Eliot, the poet and dramatist/ in a recent address. “War reminds men of their dependence upon one another and can revive values more important than individual success or survival. For many, too, it is salutary to be reminded of all the unknown 1 people who at siich. a time are more important and useful to the community, and who are making (greater sacrifices. This common mood should bo fostered by the most practical evidences of good faith, for it omy too easily disappears with the return of peace.’’
