the task they sanctified. The white crosses
in France, standing as symbols of brother
hood in common purpose against mill
tarism and oppression eloquently cry out
to us.
Are we as a people to live up to our
obligations? Must personal ambition and
political expediency swerve us from the
true course?
THE appeal that rings in our hears must
not be in vain. Rather let us go forward
courageously and with unselfish devo-
ton to the well being of our fellows as the
vital aim, re-awaken the fine spirit which
made possible our war achievements. Do
ing our full duty as patriotic citizens,
may we meet our obligations and give en-
couragement ard comfort to less FORUM
ate peoples VINO confidently look 10 us lor
help.
May this day of solemn meditation bear
fruit to Justify the sacrifice of those who
died"
The general also pleaded for adequate
preparedness.
