men have had have suddenly become meaningless and of no importance.  Now we have to solve our problems.  If we have finally been shocked into the terrible necessity of cooperation, then this terrible weapon is a boon to progress in the world.  Truely the scientific man has now outstripped the social man.  Now the social science of living with our fellow-man, must be developed at tremendous speed and with awe-inspiring thoroughness.  
  We are grossly unprepared for the task ahead of us, and we can only hope that the people of the world realize what must be done - and begin at once to do it.  Not a second must be lost.  Every teacher, every professor, every social worker now has a job that surpasses in importance that of any other man on earth.  Trully the meek have inherited the earth!  Now we will see if they are capable of preserving it.  
  The war will be over in a matter of days.  To say any thing else at a time such as this would be stupid and unnecessary." - End of G.I's letter comments by editor R. W. Ruhl - "The first letter was by a well known financier, the second was by a scientists, the third one comes from a young man at the front and was written a week before Japan surrendered.  His name is Fred Cyril Sander - he is an Army Sergeant stationed on a small island in the Phillipines.  The letter was written to his parents Mr. & Mrs. Fred C. Sander of Medford Ore. and we are glad to give it space for by all odds it is to date the best thing on this vitally important subject we have seen."  -- R. W. R. Sign. Aug 26, 194

    Sincerely Charity R. Sander - his mother.
