DEVOTION . g.
BY a GARRETT COUNTIAN

Today, in America, we find count
less individuals keenly and con-
sistently devoted to their home. bust
ness, lodge, church, to which they are
readily willing to grant time, pa
thence, funds, effort
How about your country? Have
you thought of its needs? Or do you
just offer it selfish grumbling, criti-
cism, skepticism, Indifference, irony,
sarcasm? Have you paused long
enough to realize that your church,
home. business, lodge or associated
institutions are existing under their
present status only because of the
rights and freedom and protection
offered by the United States Of Amer
lea, which itself is actually a great
democratic institution, within which
your little world is given shelter?
Violent complaining about every
thing from the rationing of autos to
the narrowing of mems trouser legs
and the creation of new taxes isn't
in order today. We haven't seen the
thousandth part of what the British
experienced. But they proved they
could take it, take it with frightened
belts and grim determination; not
with querulous whining and bitter re-
sentiment against necessary wartime
restrictions.
Can we match the courage, de-
termination, stability and GOODNESS of
the English? Can we apply the devo-
ton, pride and patriotism in our land
as the British did? Remember, our
country may get along without you
and you and you, but can YOU get
along without your country?

VOLUNTEER FOR VICTOR Y

Victory depends as much on the
morale and stamina of Maryland's
citizens as on the strength of the

armed forces, your country needs you
in the defense program.
The local organization can use
more volunteers in the primary lines
Of community defense. Here are some
Of the opportunities for volunteers:
l. Air raid warden service
2. Messenger service

This Writer Declares
More Prayer Is Needed

To the Editor of The Republican
Dear Editor:
| would like to know how long it
was during the last World War from
the time the hour of prayer started
when stores were closed and people
went in the churches and prayer I'M
til the armistice was signed
l believe we should have the time
of prayer again when people who can
will go in the churches and pray, or
pray at home or at work. Our great
est motto is an God We Trust" All
through the Bible we read of armies
being stopped and miracles being per-
formed through prayers.
When the British were forced to
leave Norway the English people had
a day of prayer and fog covered the
troop ships so the planes could not
find them.
Read your Bible, go to Church and
pray. Sometimes we forget our
Churches If we were forced to give
up our churches then we would see
what great loss and sad time it
would be. We need an old time re-
vival in A'acrica, all churches work
ing together in one accord, confessing
our sins and repenting.
With Americas prayers and
mothers tears behind our soldiers and
sailors | believe the Lord will give us
victory.

IS AMERICA REALLY
AWAKE?

The fall Of France was supposed to
have awakened America. But many
thoughtful people felt that America
would not become fully alert and eX-
ert its full force even on the factory
front short of actual belligerency.
Even when it became avowedly the
arsenal Of democracy, the United
States was producing at only a third
the pace President Roosevelt has now
promised. Pearl Harbor has made that
much difference. But are Americans
even now really awake and geared
for an all-out effort?
Few Americans can yet feel the
same urgency as the Chinese, the
Russians, the British, and the Dutch
who are fighting for their homes.
When enemy submarines do their
deadly work close to the coasts, thera
is excitement on the edges Of the great
land mass that is the home Of most
Americans. But inland people still
feel that lovely-and dangerous
sense Of security. Even on the coasts
Americans cannot feel that the Jap
anese planes over Singapore are a
greater threat to them than the sub
marines a few miles off shore.
Do they still feel as Singapore did
two months ago? Or as the British did
before Dunkirk? After Dunkirk, Brit
ain doubled her production effort
America must now treble hers. Only
an aWareness-an awakeness-that
will enable Americans to get from
Pearl Harbor the impetus that Brit
ish got from Dunkirk will provide the
sense Of urgency that can fire an all
out production effort. The absence OF
this awareness has made most of the
Axis triumphs possible. But it can be
developed. The Dutch in the East In
dies developed much of it after Thu
Netherlands were overrun.
America enjoys a great advantage
in being remote from the most active
theatres Of war. As an arsenal it has
a freedom to work with little or no in,
terruption from enemy attack which
none Of the other great Powers pos
sesses. But this very sense of security
can be disadvantage if it encourages
apathy. 1t is reported that the people
of Leningrad, working under the fire
of German siege guns, have produced
hundreds of tanks and airplanes for

herself into 50 many public fields and
has become so much of a public char
acter ION her own" that her attitude,
activities and utterances are legiti-
mate subjects for comment. Certainly,
her persistent and continuous efforts
to influence legislation and effect poll
cies make her a factor that cannot be
ignored.
Aside from her civilian-defense OPP
erations and her routine lines, such
as writing a daily column and MAX
ing Sunday broadcast, in the week
ending last Wednesday, Mrs. Roose-
welt managed to attract public atten-
ton on an unusual variety of matters
of general concern. 1t involves
considerable strain to say that in any
Of them she has advanced the national
interests. The truth is a very coed
case for the reverse can be made OUT
always conceding that her motives
are of the best and that from her point
Of view she is nobly discharging her
duty.
In the course Of this week she in
terjected herself into three separate
controversies, found herself criticized
by at least three friendly columnists
and inspired pointed suggestions from
various sources that she retire alto
gether from the OCD. In addition,
she used her own column to rebuke a
writer who had reported that she had
"lambasted" Mr.. William Knudsen.
This she denied, declaring that all she
had done was merely personally TO
present her views on civilian morale.
q said all this" she wrote, directly
to Mr.. Knudsen and Mr.. Hillman in
somewhat forceful terms, but with
out criticism of them" Altogether,
the story of Mrs. Roosevelt's week is
an interesting one and not without
importance, because she is a person
of influence.
First, there was her highly publ
cized refusal to cross the picket line
in front of a New York theatre. Ac-
companied by her radical young pro-
tege. Joseph Lash, she got her ticket
money back, and later declared that
fair or unfair under no circum-
stances would she cross a picket lima.
AS pointed out by Mr. Pegler and oth-
ers, this is equivalent to saying that
right or wrong she always supports &
striking union. Her belated letter,
published on Tuesday, to the union
boss, Petrillo, in which she expressed
the view that the issue should be SCI
tied by arbitration, does not change
her right or wrong attitude.
1888
Evidence of this has been given be-
fore. Some months ago she sympathet
ically addressed a meeting of Brooklyn
strikers, knowing nothing about the
merits of the strike. This fresh evil
dence came at a particularly unfor-
tunate time, when efforts are being
made to outlaw strikes during the
war, and the professional labor lead
ers are trying to exact as price par
tial acceptance of the Communistic
principle of labor management of in
dustry. 1t is inevitable that Mrs.
Roosevelt's utterances and action III
this picket business be taken as sym
pathetic with any labor demand. And,
of course, it is not possible to disas-
sociate Mrs. Roosevelt from her White
House connection, which is what gives
her words weight.

cident subsidized before she bargcd
