to practice the frst we come danger

An example of this Is the tendency to

every mans strength Is needed for
the national struggle. We agree about
the need. We go further and maintain
that every mans fullest body and
brain power will be required for the

vitality, little endurance, will not be
able to stand the strain or face unpre-
cedented emergencies with the mental
alertness or the physical energy de-
