IN THE
NEWS
Saturday Symposium

Mr.. William Randolph Hearst,
WyntOOn,
California.
Dear Mr.. Hearst;
II HAVE son who has just
volunteered in the naval re-
serves. There Is much discus
sion these days of civilian defense
and soldier morale. 1 hear nothing
about civilian morale.
Those OF us who lived through
the last world war know that II
was won by our boys in the
trenches only to be lost on the
home front.
They went to France 10 defend
a political ideal called democracy.
They returned home Ia he told
that there IN no such thing.
They went TO defend a political
system that they believed had
been responsible for their freedom
only to be told, when they re-
turned, that the economic system
was wrong. the political order cor
rupt, and that both should he de-
stroyed.
They went 10 defend their homes
and returned TO be told that home
was nothing but a social cOnNen-
fence.
They went TO defend religion
and the church.
They returned 10 find that. In
stead OF a place where the weary
found rest frem their lsbors of
yesterday and inspiration for the
duties OF tomorrow, the satirist
and the critic had made Of them
the home Of mossbaCks and char
Iatans.
Too often ministers in pulpits
became so concerned about the
second commandment that they
completely forgot the first COM
mandment, of which the second IL
only n corolIary.
Finally, even the uniform he had
worn became an object Of derision.
All of this happened because
those Of us at home were 40 intent
upon the morale OF the other fell
low that We completely lost our
own and. in 20 doing. lost the war
that our boys had won.
The question am asking Is
this: Is there nothing more in our
way Of life than the harvest that
We reaped from the other war,
ideals that are real. and that make
life worth liVing-that my son and
the sons of millions Of other
fathers and mothers 90 10 the
battlefront to fight for:
Is there not something that YOU
and and others Hike ts can do to
safeguard for them the things for
which they fight:
We failed before because the
morale OF the American home was
destroyed and the position of the
mother in that home vas weak
ened.
Will not the same thing happen
again unless our women, who de-
termine the morale of the commu-
nifty or OF the nation, decree that
Il should be otherwise:
How TO do this seems TO me
TO be the great and real challenge
of our day. Win the war-yes.
hut win the peace, too. which
Is infinitely more difficult.
Very truly yours.
