that's the kind of thing that ought to
be printed, in my judgment.
In a different category, equally inn
portant to print, are the thrilling
stories of those combats in the air
which are taking place every day over
the fighting lines in France, stories
or courage and daring the like of
which have never been equalled in the
widest realms of fiction; the countless
stories Of noble heroism, of human
sacrifice and suffering for a great
cause, which show in their true HghA
the details of modern warfare so per
s~istently concealed and so urgently
needed to stir the peoples pulse and
to make them feel and realize the
truth and the full truth about this
gigantic struggle, in which we are all
taking part today.
Reverse Policy of Secrecy.
Reverse this policy of secrecy. Let
the people at home have these and
other true pictures of the war as it
really is and l firmly believe that the
response would be electrical, particu-
larly here. The people of the United
states would rouse as one man to
task, fired with patriotic fervor
born of a full and true understanding
OF what this wal means to them and
thelr future, of the individual obliga-
ions II imposes upon those at home
as well as upon those who are con
stantly facing death for the sake of
those at home!
Now this, it seems to me, is of para

cumstances which exist today clearly

and the hearts and the full under
standing Of the people by freely using
the advertising and the news columns
of every publication in the United
States, and by using the movies, the
~billboards, the post offices, the public
buildings. the railway stations and
the public c~onveyances as was done in
the great publicity campaigns which
were successfully used to arouse the
people of England to a full sense of
their danger and their responsibilities
at a critical period of the war. al
though it was no more critical. no
more threatening than the situation
which confronts this country today.
If, coupled with this urgently needed
campaign, there could be accomplished
a radical revision of the French and
English censorship. and you may de-
pend upon a few of us to urge that
with all our force, permitting a much
freer flow of all kinds of war Develop

possible under existing conditions. the

Second Cause OF Apathy.

1ANNAA - W Y
Now the second Of the two main rea-
sons for apathy and for misunder-
standing this war situation-and this
after all is the main reason-is to be
found in the attitude which unfortu-
nately was taken by leaders of public
opinion in this country during the
earlier stages of the war. the attitude
that assumed that It was no oncer
of this country.
This attitude unquestionably served
to create a sense of entire indifference
to the var issues in the minds of the
American people generally. Now that
those who held such views have awak-
ened to a full realization of the fact
that they were wrong. they find them
selves confronted with a rather awk-
ward dilemma. They have discovered
that this public sentiment slowly and
surely created on what now proves to
be an utterly false basis. cannot so
swiftly be reversed. as the seriousness
OF the present war situation demands.
In all fairness, however, Il must be
said that realizing the weight of re-
sponsibility which rests upon them
for this hesitation. this doubt. this
failure on the part of the people to
comprehend the full import of the
war, they are now becoming outspoken
In urging a policy OF complete frank
ness with the people. although |
haven't seen much of il yet.
But I maintain that this situation
demands far more than ever complete
frankness with the people. It de-
mands a nationwide campaign OF in

United States to join with their very
hearts and souls. iu the ~stupendous
task which lies Immediately ahead.
The war program which this task
embraces cannot be made effective
without the full cooperation of the
people. This cooperation cannot be
expected until the people have been
aroused to a full and complete under
standing Of the war-that goes with
out saying-of what Il means 10 them
