Il Might Be
|Wrong--BUT

No matter what the next few
years hold in store for the
United States there is today a
feeling among the rank and file
Of average people that we are
secure and no i'll will befall our
great country. Even if this
attitude is somewhat dangerous,
it is at least comforting.
Following Germany's invasion
Of Holland and Belgium last May
and the ensuing disastrous
events in France there was an
almost universal feeling of hys-
terra and alarm which has grad
ually subsidized. Perhaps it is
only that time - healer of
wounds and leveler of catas-
trophies = has transformed the
panicky realization of our sad
lack of defense into a reassuring
confidence in our ability to COR
rect the condition.
The days seem to move slowly,
but the months and years seem
fieeting. In less than d TX months
we have begun well OF our way
y ward getting all phaSes of our
defense program in operation.
One year ago, had any man
dared to suggest Inauguration of
a defense program only partially
as expensive or extensive as the
one on which we are now en-
barked, he would have been con-
demned from coast to coast. We
have witnessed a change in
public opinion which will likely
rank in history as equal to the
tremendous efforts we make to-
ward armament. The drafting
of men for military service is
i accepted with almost enthusiastic
approval. Adjustments in busi-
ness to provide for absence of
young soldiers are being dis
cussed and planned everywhere.
It might well be that the general
feeling of good will toward the
entire effort, coupled with the
fact that WPA rolls are gradual
ly being wiped out and unem-
ployment being relegated to the
"Blue Thirties," is responsible
for the feeling of security.
We had reached point where
it was difficult to tell whether,
as a nation, we had disintegrated
to a point where national unity
might be almost impossible to
secure. The public attitude in
December, 1910, proves that
Americans of today are ready,
willing and anxious to do their
part in preserving a national
unity which cannot be surpassed
in any part of the world.
Let US hope that the feeling of
security will not reach a point of
apathy. That would be danger
Gus. Never again should this
country be faced with situation
comparable with that of early
1910. Let us never be misled by
well-meaning pacifsts. What
the economic conditions of the
world will be when the war is
finally ended no one can imagine.
Some facts, however, cannot
be denied. We will never know
the easy manner Of living as was
accepted up to 1910. A tremen-
dous outpouring Of public money
will be necessary to keep the
wheels going. Heavy taxes
cannot be escaped. New social
programs will be proposed and
some of them adopted. We can
not survive another period of
unemployment as severe as that
a Of the "Blue Thirties." We
might be forced to become a
self-sustained nation. We will
likely see "back-to-the-farm"
movement. But whatever the
future holds for us we are today
a nation of free, prosperous and
happy people intent on preserv-
ing for future generations the
blessings of democratic institu-
tions through which we will
solve all new problems as they
arise.
