THE ARMISTICE IS OVER
BY RUTH TAYLOR

Those Of us who remember
Armistice Day 1918 recall not
merely the gid excitement with
which the news was greeted,
but even more the deep sense
of relief and the keen rapture
at tn thought of peace. We
felt that not only this war but
all wars we're over.
But as the years have come
and gone, we have celebrated
Armistice Day more and more
solemnly, in the belated reaii-
cation that "Armistice" truly
meant "the temporary cessa.
ton of hostilities."
We wanted peace and we
wanted it by compromise,
equivocation and side stepping
issues. We overlooked the fact
that there is-there can be
no truce in the fight between
right and wrong.
Ours was the task of bearing
high the torch of liberty. OF
seeing that the light of free
dom diSpelled the darkness of
oppression. We did not ask OF
those who died from whence

Now, in this time of war,

there is no time for disunity.
We get out of this government,

the people I am ready to move

they lived. They were soldiers
in a battle for Democracy. Ours
was-Still is-the task of
keeping that Democracy alive
so that their sacrifice might
not have been in vain.
We have not yet fulfilled our
task. And today the fight is on
anew between the forces Of op-
preston and aggression and
aggression and the forces Of
democracy and freedom. We
have a faith to keep with those
who have gone before. Tolcr-
ance, justice, equality, free

words. They were ideals for
which men died-they are
ideals by which we must live
if the faith is to be kept.
The armistice is over and
this time there must be no
stopping before the dictators
are finally and definitely
crushed. We must finish the
job. We must fight until the
forces of evil are completely
conquered for all time.
