Strangely, family loyalty.
the integrity of the home in
which young Americans receive
their teaching. example and in
spiration, has been avoided as a
topic too delicate or embarras-
sing for discussion. To stand
by and rescue a wounded buddy
In action is a great thing. but,
on the other hand, to call off
marriage and deprive children
OF the leadership and compan-
ionship of one parent and 10
set them an intimate and deeply
impressive example of SELFISH
ness is not even questionable
conduct.
In the more radical areas Of
politics, apostasy to a political
belief or objective, or 10 the
personality of a leader will be
condemned as an unforgivable,
personal crime by some persons
who nevertheless see nothing
worse in the reputation Of a
marriage for casual. selfish rea-
sons than the violation of a
treaty of convenience by a
European state.
THIS war has greatly stimu-
l. lated marriage among Ameri-
can youth and it is possible
that the ratio of divorces eStab-
lished by civilians will be main
tanned by them. Certainly the
political youth movement has
not regarded family integrity as
any of its business.
But, fortunately. only a small
proportion of this youth has
ever had any contact with or
gained youth under planned
political leadership and the ma
jority, whether poor, middle
class or rich, carrX over into
marriage the inspiration not Of
worldly, prominent personalities
but that of their own humdrum,
loyal parents in their little
American homes.

FAIR ENOUGH
BY WestbrOOk PegIer

gether and some OF the most
poignant little stories from
overseas have been glimpses of
the longing Of young soldiers to
see their wives and babies, born
since they went away.
Youth has not had an inspir-
ing public example of this first
loyalty in recent years, and it
has received nowhere in the
propaganda OF that which might
be called the political youth
movement, the emphasis that
has been given 10 political
strategy, economic problems
and the freedoms.
Conspicuous families, includ-
ing leading personalities of mid
dle-age and beyond have been
disrupted in our own country
and. in Britain. a scandalous
round-robin of wife trading Gull
minated in historical political
smash in which those who up
held an old fashioned concept
of family loyalty were abused
from the liberal side for re-
pudiating an example which
would have reduced the family
to the status of the animals in
the barnyard. They were called
tories, ''reactionaries" and
"FaSclSts."
INDEED, not even loyalty 10
L the United States is now
placed first in the program for
the future which is presented
10 youth IN the war. Instead il
is urged that this youth fight
for a new world and a list Of
detectives called freedoms. the
achievement of which would
abrogate much Of the funda-
mental human freedom or lib
erty on which American life is
based.
Men who have placed the
United States first, and alone,
