America Urged to Keep Eye on Victory Goal
In New PIeo for Close Unity Of Allies

The Americas In such a setup
would be helpless and finished.
No guarantee whatsoever could
save us, for a guarantee, in itself,
when the overwhelming bulk of
power is on the opposite side, is
only means of bloodless subjec-
ton. The guaranteed power has
to accept the conditions of the
guarantor. Even an alliance does
not change that condition, as
Italy now knows.
That, therefore, Is the reason
We are fighting this war. Apart
from all ideologies, we are fight
ing it to foil this monstrous mill
tary conspiracy for the primary
purpose of sheer survival.
We would have not the Slight
est chance of survival If we stood
alone as an isolated power. We
might survive for a generation
while the Eurasian power and
the Far Eastern power were being
consolidated, but in 80 years the
American children of today
would fight a war and lose it.
We have a chance against this
outcome, because we are not
alone. We have alliances. AS
lorg as they stand, and we fight
arm in arm for our mutual sur
vival, we can be convinced Of
victory.
Allies Not Chosen.
We did not choose our alli-
ances. They were given us by
the nature of the war. We are
not asked by Destiny whether we
like the inner structure, the
political history, or even the am
billions of our allies. And the
same is true for our allies. They
have not been asked by Destiny
whether they like us.
Maybe there are persons
amongst us who would prefer to
hight only with prototypes of
American democracy, only with
powers that have no imperial
past or present. only with DOW
ers that believe in the capitalistic
system-just as there may be
persons amongst our allies who
would prefer to fight with an
American monarchy or an Amer
lean Soviet state. But we and
they have no choice.
Only If we realized the supreme
Importance of this fact of alli-
ance, are we able to build the
base for true war of coalition.
The future is important and has
to be discussed. But it can be
discussed only in the fullest real
1zation that there will be no fu-
ture for any of us unless we stick
together.
Foe Hopes to Divide Us.
Our enemies know this so we'll
that they hope to win this war by
polltlcs-namely, by playing on
the Emergencies of our political
and economic structures, inter-
national interests and ideologies.
One of the monkey wrenches
they are throwing into our war of
coalition is called British I'M
perialism.' Another is american
Plutocracy.' Another is The
Bolshevization of Europe"
But we must keep our eyes
single-mindedly fixed on our
goal-which is their defeat, and
our survival. Our survival is our
victory. Out of that victory we
can make newly-organized
world-or throw it into interna-
tional cut-throat competition for
another generation.
But first we have to survive
all together, or not at all.

JUST AN OLD MAN.

Who is dead?
Did you ever ask that question when
you heard the tolling of the church
bell.
And if you did, did you receive the
answer:
"Oh, it's some old man."
Yes, just some old man.
Even his name is no longer remem-
bered.
His face may or may not have been
familiar upon the streets of the town
he inhabited.
He was just an old man.
All! the irony of fate!
It is not long since the old man you
bury today was young, ambitious and
Just as handsome as you are.
