to conquer those who would con-
quer the world. It behooves us
all to set aside dellcacies and
prepare to meet Japanese fire
with their kind of fire and to so
completely subdue Hitler's Ger
many that the world will be safe
from wars for generations to
come.
In our consciousness of war
and it's devastating effects on the
spiritual side of life we must
recognize that such losses are
incidental and much of the dam
age may be overcome in the per-
iod of reconstruction and rehabil-
tation.
These are our contradictions -
to preach hatred where we've
been taught to love our neigh
Dor; to seek vengeance when we
have been taught forgiveness;
to preach war when we are a
nation Of peace lovers; to preach
destruction when we are a ma
ton of builders; to preach sacri-
flee of individual freedom when
this country has grown to might
and power under
Our Lives the bill of rights;
Are In to teach that might
Reverse makes right when
we know that ulti-
mately the reverse will hold true.
And yet just as we transform a
lawyer, clerk, farmer or me-
cnanie into soldier so must we
put aside "for the duration" most
of our cherished convictions.
While many of US are inn
patient with the slow process Of
arousing an about war spirit
among our people it is well to
consider that the lives of all of
US are thrown into reverse. Also
it is a mark of tolerance to recall
that we had false prophets in
the Wheelers, Nyes, Lindberghs,
ct al, who did much to retard
this reversal.
Some of the values and convic-
tions sacrificed in the war effort
are gone probably never to re-
turn. But we will, at least, have
a say in what permanent losses
are necessary. All that we have
any interest in now is war-a
successful war-an aggressive
and offensive war and victory
which will make us strong
enough to outlaw future wars.
