OUR VALLEYS OF DECISION
BY Louis Bromfield


This is a new kind of war, a
war for which we have as yet been
unable even to find a name 1t
marks a turning point in world
history, the most enveloping and
decisive turning point there has
ever been. because for the first
time in the worlds history the en-
tire world is involved and because
the decision involves the whole
future of civilization.
"The future of civilization is a
vague and tremendous and ora
torical phrase. Interpreted and
broken down. il means the free
dom of yourself and myself, wheth-
er we shall be allowed to live in
a decent fashion enjoying liberty
and prosperity and human dignity,
involving the future of the very
house we live in the happiness
and well-being of our children,
the opportunities of young people
and all the comfort and security
Of the old 1t affects how we shall
worship God, and how and wheth-
er we can live in decency with our
neighbors. We can help, all of us,
by fighting, by working, by keep
ing our courage high. We can
help too. enormously by lending
to ourselves the money which is
necessary to win this war, by tes-
tifying to our confidence in our
own country, our own battle. War
Bonds and War Stamps are weap-
on exactly as tanks and guns are
weapons. Buy now, not tomorrow
or next day, but now - to save
what God gave us and what we
have fought for since our country
became a Nation - BUY WAR
BONDS"
