"Before the war" the editorial says.
it was perfectly proper to discuss the

And this applies to our allies as well

must stand together and fight this
through. There are only two sides to
a war. Every American must be on

Il recognize that there is civic duty
that demands personal sacrifices just

construed, as some Of your readers

when you expressed yourself so posi-
lively, whereas it was simply the
view you took of the letter, and I'M
fair in them; and so it goes.
But we all feel better when we
are charitable.

the barrier. Our boys and our coun-

There's bound to be lot OF such
leveling from this time on. Some of
