Mothers Day can properly be
celebrated every day of the year.
The major reason for singing out
Sunday, May 8, is to give it a
whole day by itself - to shut out
all else for at least twenty-four
hours.
This year as never before in
the history of the observance of
the day, thoughts of millions of
American men in service will be
with their mothers. Many separa-
ted by thousands of miles, their
love will span the distance and
bring them together in spirit.
A glowing tribut should be paid
the young mothers of today who,
amidst the trials and tribulations
of war. are bringing up their
youngsters with a belief in God,
faith in the essential goodness of
man, and loyalty for their coun-
try.

EDITORIAL
THE FAITH
OF OUR FATHERS

The passing of the Easter sea-
son with the never-old story of
the Crucifixion fresh in our minds
reminds us of one of the most
far reaching and touching exam
pies of faith the world has ever
known. 1t is story that the Sun
day school children all know =
and the grown-ups can never for
get ~ once having heard it.
We refer to the dying thief on
the cross who turned to Our Saw
Jour and begged to be remember
ed when the Saviour would come
into the Kingdom of Heaven -
the answer the promise =
that the supplicant would, that
very day, be with the Savior in
Paradise was promise to all
mankind throughout the ages. 1t
was the answer to faith in right
eousness.
This is not a sermon, but we
feel it a privilege to be able to
recall such a wonderful example
of child-like faith. If we in this
century could only cultivate-or
develop a small part of such faith
in the things that are right =
the causes that are just, and the
leadership representing $ u h
causes, we believe that the de-
feat of all the powers of evil
would already be assuredi
The fathers of the young Amer
lean Republic, back in the days
of '76, had something of this
sort of faith - so beautifully re-
iterated a little later by Francis
Scott Key Cor Key in the lines
of the Star Spangled Banner
'Then Conquer. we must = for
our cause 1t is just" - etc.
And again in 1863, our immor-
tai Lincoln must have had hand
ed down to him an enormous
norton of the faith of his faith
ers" - to preserve this good old
IT. s. A. when national faith had
broken down to the point OF ex-
plosion that split the American
Nation asunder.
But Lincoln was not alone.
Some four million people of dark
er skin knew that slavery = with
all its attending evils, was wrong
and that somehow, sometime right
would prevail! They had faith in
Lincoln and the cause he repre-
sented.
All this to the general end that
we are living in the greatest
land - the most outstanding Ma
ton the world has ever known!
And the blood of all races oil
mankind flows in our National
veins! Shall we say that faltf
built America? We believe this
and in spite of all its ills ant
faults, there has always been
predominating faith and belle
in right and justice = and II
certain instances America ha'
"purged" itself - that thes'
might prevail.
But we are again facing cri
sis - or catastrophe. of world
wide proportions! We are in tn
midst of a conflict - the like o
which the world has never know
- a conflict involving our Who'll
beings - spirits. minds and bod
les - and in which our Nations
faith is being taxed to the u
mostl
Now, more than at any othe
time we need National solidarit

The SEED BED
OF DEMOCRACY
BY HENRY A. WALLACE
Vice-President OF the United
States of America

| otAtcS Oh <AIIlcflcA
Here in the United States our
population is a blend of many
races. Men and women of divers
origins have built our science.
our literature, and our arts, our
finance, our industry and our gov
eminent. We have established
here the truth of a genetic basis
for democracy.
When was small boy,
George Washington Carver was a
good friend of my fathers at the
Iowa State College. Carver at that
time was specializing In Botany,
and he would take me along on
some of his botanizing trips. 1t
VS. he who first introduced me to
the mysteries of botany and plant
fertilization. Later on l was to
have an intimate acquaintance
with plants myself, because
spent a good many years breed
ing corn. Perhaps that was partly
because this scientist, who be-
longed to another race, had deep
ened my appreciation of plants in
a way could never forget.
mention Carver simply be-
cause he is one example of a
truth of which we are today
deeply convinced. Ability and
character are not the exclusive
possessions of any one race or
any one class. They may arise
anywhere, provided men are CIV
en- the right opportunities.
In a democracy, every individ-
ual according to his station in
life and according to his capacity
should have opportunity for joy
Gus service of the general well
fare. Democracy must apply itself
to meeting the material need OF
men for work, for income, for
goods, for health, for security,
and to meeting their spiritual
need for dignity, for knowledge,
for self-expression, for adven-
ture and for reverence. And 1t
must succeed. The danger that
it will be overthrow in favor of
some other system is in direct
proportion to it's failure to meet
these needs. We may talk all we
like about the beauties of democ-
racy, the ideals of democracy, the
rightness ow democracy. In the
long run. democracy or any other
political system will be measured
by its deeds. not its words.
And SO let us dedicate oursel-
YES anew to our democratic body
of faith - to the promotion of a
stable but ascending general well
fare by increasing the productiv-
ity of the people. Let us dedicate
ourselves anew to the belief that
there are extraordinary possibili-
ties in both man and nature
which have not yet been realized
and which can be made manifest
only If the individualistic yet CO.
operative genius of democratic
institutions is preserved. Let us
dedicate ourselves anew to max
ing it possible for those who are
gifted in art, science and religion
, to approach the unknown will
true reverence, and not under thu
compulsion of producing immed
late results for the glorifcatioi
of one man, one group, one rae
or nation.
The seed bed of the grea
leaders of the future, as of thos
of the past, is in the rank an
file of the people.

suppression of minority greupi

be no minority groups - If we
are to win in this conflict-there

This is what we need for National

And frankly, we haven't got
it! The question in our minds is !:
when will the various factions

recognize this fact?
We need that coal that the min
ers are threatening to leave un-
foreground - until somebody sat

1t to win a war In the East and
to warm up some of these cold
feet here in the west - and cold
feet are not very conducive to
National faith and confidence!

National Congress ON down = get

Can any man - or group -
or class of men = give the best
that is in them while under the
handicap of class limitations,
color restrictions, snubs = enfor-

All without tangible reasons?
There will probably be three
quarters of a million or more Ne
gro Americans in this war before
1t Is finished. Thep have always
made good fighting men and still
may be counted on = but these
men are going to need something
beyond just good uniforms and
good food - and the like. Their
present comforts, relationships
and general treatment are all
probably fair by comparison; and
of course they have the general
satisfaction of helping to win
the war for democracy"
= But in order to throw their
whole souls and bodies unreserv-
eddy into this conflict, with en-
thusiasm, they are going to need
long range and reasonably ac-
curate view of the future Ca
brighter future) and what 1t
holds for them; not in the
I manner Of predictions or forecasts
but in well-founded honest in
tentions - and with some man

direction - NOW!
If the common sense element
of American leadership can see
this = and develop enough in
testinal fortitude to do something
about it; - just little "house
cleaning" to start with we are
going to see New America =
with National confidence and en-.
thusiasm built-up to 100 percent
- and best of all: fifteen million
or more good Americans are go
ing to have new faith in thu
flag they have been taught to cal

quarters of a century.
We need this faith - the faitl
of our fathers!
