pie have not lost that quality exem-
plified in the familiar painting en-
titled "The Spirit of TO-" And Ger
many supplied much of the impetus
behind it all!
Germany has placed it's spiked
military heel firmly upon all organ
lied religions; first upon the Jews
with medieval cruelty; next upon
the great Catholic Church and the
Protestant Church. The German
Government boasting Of it's fortress
tanks, its flying fortresses, it's chain
fortresses in the Siegfried Line
makes total war upon the teachings
Of that world beloved German figure,
Martin Luther, who shouted: "A
mighty fortress is our God"
The recoil from the brutal, sacrili-
gious German policy Of persecution,
its ferocity toward the Jews, Cath
olics and Protesants affects us pro-
foundly. I do not mean to suggest
that the doctrinal views Of the Amer
lean clergy have been changed or
modified one whit. The Bible stands
in America beyond peril from Ger
manic assaults. do mean that the
fervor and loyalty of Americans to
their respective churches has been
enhanced.
I am incompetent to state what
the Church should do, but I wish the
students in large theological semi
nary and other conscientious objec-
tors everywhere, would heed the
words recently spoken by a great
American preacher. He said: "The
Christian Church believing in social
order which may begin to approach
the Kingdom of God and provide con-
ditions under which men may more
easily be Christians-the Christian
Church has always approved and will
continue to approve the use of force"
eve have always believed that the
ends achieved by force depend upon
the motive for which it is used and
the circumstances under which it is
used" = ut may be used to
create more stable society, to build
a better world" "But some of
you will say: That is all right for
law and order within nation. Is
not the problem a different one when
it comes to the international order?
Can the Church approve the use of
force between nations?' I can only
answer that the moral problem is
the same"
Again we must thank Germany
for the occasion which provoked that
manly, Christian, timely utterance;
as we must applaud Germany for
rediscovering to us the core and soul
of America, the same in quality dis
played at Lexington, at Valley Forge,

fully vituperative election ever held
since the Hayes-Tilden. It is notable
that nowhere was their any disorder;
nor is the most foul-mouthed enemy
of that Administration, which is in
power and will remain in power for
four years, under the slightest appre-
hension of purge by storm troopers,
or of the internment camp, or of pro-
tective custody or Of any penalty
whatsoever. To an Italian, a Ger
man, Slav, and most of all to a
Jew, now living in continental
Europe, that fact must be simply be-
wildering, incomprehensible.
Few foreign-born Americans take
their cue from dictators. You ask
proof. Probably no man in the world
is more cordially hated by Hitler and
Mussolini than is the President of the
United States. Yet the election re-
turns of last Tuesday show that the
voters of Italian and German blood
in Baltimore at least almost as a
unit repudiated Mussolini and Hitler
to vote for President Roosevelt.
Hitler makes us sweat and groan
as no man does. On the other hand
he makes us think as no one has.
And Hitler has uncovered to the
world the sort of grit that is Amer
ica's. It is due to Hitler more than
to any other living man, including
the Kaiser, that our diffuse and i'm
mense population, made up hetero-
geneous blood, of heterogeneous
races, of heterogeneous religions,
harboring many economic beliefs and
irreconciliable theories of domestic
policy, stand tonight shoulder to
shoulder for a militant, courageous.
United American wherein the foot
of dictator shall not rest.

in the Proclamation of Emancipation.
My sincerest sympathy goes out
to those splendid people Of America
who stem their origin back to the
old Germany of learning, industry,
of beauty and liberation, a pleasant
place. I trust devoutly that nothing
I have said may add to their embar-
rassment and unhappiness. AS U. S.
Attorney during the World War
am in a position to certify that al
most without exception they did their
part faithfully. They bore ostracism
and unjustified suspicious with dig
nifty and forbearance. We must re-
spect them for cherishing a ira
ditional love for the land where their
ancestors lie. There is no doubt that
almost to a man they deplore Hit
ler's hideous excuses as sincerely as
do we. And they are just as help
less. Likewise we may trust our
people of Italian blood. America has
been called a melting pot; and won
derful material has been, is being,
poured therefrom. America has been
singularly successful with those for
eignborn citizens who cast their lot
with us, sprung though they are from
European nations which grasp feebly,
ineffectively, if at all for democracy.
We quickly make of them true
Americans. We teach them the road
to Democracy, historically unfamiliar
though it be. AS rule those Ameri-
cans by the rite of adoption give their
best ungrudgingly to the land of
their choice, whether for service in
the Army, the Navy, in Congress, on
the Bench, or in the walks Of pro-
fessional, commercial and industrial
life.
The oneness of this land, the fact
that our serious political schisms
are purely domestic, that our differ
ences otherwise are but skin deep,
that when a threat assails the Uni
ted States there is no hesitation, no
divided allegiance, is in evidence all
about us. Only last week we had the
most bitterly contested and disgrace

Communists, pacifists, organized
bands of traitors, crackpots and theo-
relics would have controlled the Uni
ted States from the Capitol dome to
the San Francisco waterfront save
for the priceless, persistent and able
leadership of the American Legion.
Nor does the Legion rest. Its men,
bers are avidly solicitous for our ma
tional welfare now as ever. The Leg
ion has. run nearly all the sappers
and miners who undermine the State
by secret and subtle means into the
open. It tore the covers off the ma
tive and foreign born who curiously
enough prefer dictators to democra-
cies. It turned the light upon the
dark Vaccinations of communists,
Fascists. and Nazis. To it's further
glory and honor the Legion kept it's
course when, like the Martin Dies
Committee, it's members were ridi-
culed and derided by the majority of
the press (now converted to it's way
of thinking) and when subversive or
CARNATIONS were pampered and pet
ted by persons in high authority.
Shaken by the mad business sat-
urnalia ending in the panic of 1929,
the ensuing depression, the dole, the
rise of quack panaceas, want, is it
remarkable that the enervation and
Indifference of the people as whole
to the fundamental matters of ma
tional preservation lately appeared
to be incurable? Downright hostil-
ity to national self-defense develop
ed. Groups were formed in our col
leges of all places by students pledged
not to fight for their country.
One is amazed and tremendously
encouraged by the deep resurgence
of splendid, patriotic spirit.
That such a rejuvenation of the
national morale exists is made mani
fest in countless ways. It is signifi-
cant that the Selective Service Act
was passed in time of nominal peace
by a comfortable majority. Contrast
that unprecedented triumph to the
state of public opinion in 1917 when
we were actually at war! We recall
how difficult it was to bring the pub
lie and the Congress to realization
of the indispensable utility of con-
scription. At best the Act of 1917
met with reluctant support.
Lately the enormous job of regis
tering eligibles for service was done
with the minimum confusion and
with no noticeable opposition or dis
order. Young men so late as six
months ago who were apathetic or
defiant, rebelled against military
training, registered with frolic well
come; many enlisted voluntary. Young
men with children, to whom years
service is cruel sacrifice, seek daily
where and how they may best serve
with scarcely a thought of their i'm
mediate careers. About $50 lawyers
accepted service in Baltimore in aid
of the draft, to do unpaid onerous
work as associate members of the
Advisory Board. Of all the men,
old, young, of all grades of wealth
and professional success, of those
physically able to act but one refus-
ed to serve. Many gave profuse
thanks for the chance to help, and
many more volunteered than can be
used.
America has accepted the addition
al tax burden without a whimper.
In all that has been mentioned the
American Legion has played po-
tent and resolute part.
The vital spark still lives; our peo-
