Who rides after Paul Revere?

of the same tenor, I'm ready. Put me to work"
, The Paul Reveres of the American press have
done their work we'll. Now they are riding out again
with other messages just as important. Messages
of courage -. and patience -. and hope.
For we too have our fainthearts who are ready
to quit when the outposts are taken We have our
near-sighted who imagine that they would rather
lose their Liberties than their comforts, and don't
see.that they stand to lose both.
i We have our cynics young and DID, who suppose
that all wars are futile because the victory in the
last one was thrown away. We have our warped
and embittered- potential Charles Lees and
Benedict Arnolds.
ALL us need protectionfrom the defeatism that
seeps from such sources. We need our own uncer-
tainties and fears cleared up We need our spirits
heartened about what we have done, can do, and
are now doing.
This protection, this enlightenment, this encor-
agement, the press is supplying now every day.
Day after day, oDenewspapers are bringing us news
Of plans completed at Washington in weeks, whose
details in normal times would have consumed
years. Soon they will tell us of raw-materia1 prob
lens solved of factories and mills swinging into
stream-lined production of rapid organization
and training of our man power.
We have asked for miracles and we are getting
them. But the press will remind us that even Aad-
din's palace took night to build.
, In this planning stage, when all roads lead to
Washington the metropolitan newspapers and wire
services have increased or reassigned their stats
in the Capital.
They are covering stories 50 big, developments
so rapid, that even the early days of the New Deal
seem quiet in retrospect Economic relations Of the

are coming!"
Once more America hears that ringing shout of
alarm, with only two words changed after 165
years.
Since the tenth of May every flying bundle of
newspapers that thumps against station plat
form has been the thunderous knock of the rider
sent out by the lantern signal in the Old North
Church..With editorial and news dispatch, cartoon,
column, and special article, the far-sighted among
Americas newspapers have reused the town and
the countryside.
Never had citizens been more soundly asleep in
their complacent beds. "Safe behind three thousand
miles of good green water. :. smugly confident of
the power and might of friendly former allies -.
blandy Indifferent to the condition of our fighting
forces blind to sinister strings in neghbors to
the south and even in our own midst.
That voice in the darkness that knock at the
door came not moment too soon.
, Where and how the present-day menace to free
dom will strike, no man knows or whether it will
strike by direct invasion at ALL We know that at
tack is possible-and that is enough.
So now, as always before, Americans have
sprung to action Today's Ethan Aliens are gather

peaceful machines of work and play put their fac
tories and their brains at their countrys command
Today, if Knudsen and Stettnius, Stimson and
Knox had time for such thoughts, they would know
how George Washington felt when he took COM

vices. It could be spent for that
purpose rather than for Destroy
ers. Like a commander shifting
troops from one front to another
as necessity required. the presi-
dent would be authorized to de-
ploy dollars as he pleased. Naval
and military appropriations
could be used as lump-sum
grants.
The proposition appears to
have its wartime merits. espe-
cially il congress does not re-
main in session during the pres
ent emergency. But it represents
a radical step for legislators
who have grown increasingly
jealous and suspicious Of the
chief executives handling OF
public monies. Now, however,
money seems to be no object,
even though We are not at war.
Washington insiders are in
dulging In this interesting specu-
laion: How long will Joseph P.
Kennedy remain as American
ambassador to the Court of st.
James? 1t is common knowl-
edge here and abroad that Joe
backed the loser in the bitter
controversy b twee n Winston
Churchill and Neville Chamber
lain.
Like Chamberlain, Mr.. Ken
nedy was optimistic to the end
that a major European war
could be prevented. He relayed
that information to friends here
during his recent visit, and ex-
pressed great admiration for the
prime minister. Moreover, as the
rather personal representative Of
President Roosevelt, who shared
with Mr.. Chamberlain the hope
Of preventing a showdown, Mr..
Kennedy became closely asso-
ciated with the man then head
ing the British government.
Now, however, Mr.. Kennedy's
usefulness may be impaired
through the change in the min
istry.
The ambassadors friends have
doubts, nevertheless, that Prime
Minister Churchill will show any
resentment in this period Of
crisis. After all, Joe is a close
personal friend of the American
president, and might be able to
obtain more for England at the
White House than any substi-
tute.
