Ne,u York Heartbeat:


ly, an American balks more at in
convenience than he does at sacri-
fee. But let's not fool ourselves.
There is a difference between civil
ian discomfort and military sacri-
fee.
An empty sugar bowl is one thing,
and an empty ammunition belt is
another. An old secondhand car is
a nuisance, but there is no such
thing as secondhand navy. Pri-
critics are harsh, but remember that
the marines ask only that they be
the first to fight. Living quarters
may be cramped, but American sail
ors are living in submarines.
Men who fly in high altitude bomb
ers are giving more to their country
than those who pay high income
taxes.
You can't buy Liberty in bar
gain basement, and the theater OF
war has no reserved seats. Peace
will restore sugar and tires. But not
even Victory can bring back the
Colin Kellys.
