The general smiled and nodded.

ut has worked well. The Army
has fought fine action. I'm as
proud of the British troops as I am
of our own Americans"
Fierce German blows hammered
the Allies into a steel-hardened
unity; the critical nature of the
struggle dissolved national identities.
Men in the thick of battle ask no
more of their fellows than that they
show courage and unselfshness. The
steaming fury of seven days, pro-
duced the thoroughly co-ordinated
international army Allied statesmen
have merely dreamed of for many
times seven years.
Not once during the mounting
crisis (and certainly not after it
had passed. did I hear an American
soldier speak disparagingly Of the
British, or vice-versa. I cannot re-
call hearing the words "Limey" and
"Yank" used with ugly infection
on the Salerno front. The one-for-
all policy laid down by Gen. Clark
obtained in the last exhausted foot
soldier.
Yet there was ample opportunity
for temper and recrimination. Be-

aging time. heritage and past his
tory never intruded themselves.
Nor did pride and protocol. Rear
Admiral Richard L. Conolly, a
|storied American sea dog, insisted
on serving under British Commo-
dore q. N. Oliver on vital naval
operation. In the magnificent
Ranger-Commando action, a British
brigadier fought under command
of an American colonel.
When figures were totaled at the
end Of the bridgehead phase 1t was
found that the British suffered
more casualties dead and wounded)
than the Americans. On the other
hand, Americans supplied most Of
the troops, planes and material
which saved the bridgehead during
the 24-hour action on the night and
day Of September. 1914.
Here were sharp and bloody pegs
on which to hang distrust and dis
sension. Yet the men marched and
fought together, devotedly, unques-
tioningly, brothers in arms.

Everybody is now servant to a
ration card. In great democratic
leveling of life, we are all told what
we may have and what we must do
without. On the whole, the people
have accepted the amazing restric-
tlons with loyalty and cheerfulness.
Looked at from a world travel
er's viewpoint, our present depri-
vations are trivial. Most of the
people on earth have subsisted for
centuries on diet far simpler
than that to which we have been
restricted. A little rice or a little
wheat. with a bit of green's or fish
or occasional meat to SAVIOR it. has
been the daily diet of the majority
OF mankind There is no threat of
real starvation confronting members
of the United Nations. AS has been
the case in Great Britain, our gen.
eral health will be improved.
In Immature Stage.
Anybody who has not learned to
sacrifice pleasure for a principle,
a desire for duty, is still in an
immature stage. Only babies are
permitted to cry for what they want,
be it the moon or bottle of poison
pills. Grownups learn to give up.
And our presenet war demands that
on the home front there be a gen.
eral surrender of privileges, usages,
luxuries. We must walk where we
used to ride: we must wear simpler
clothing and longer: We must eat
plain food where once we enjoyed
luxuries; we must give up wine
which in this Scripture stands for
all forms of booze-for our own
sakes and for the sake of the COM
mon weak
For this duty of do withouters"
runs into the whole global field of
altruism. 1t is the first large-scale
attempt to fulfill the New Testa-
ment's clear teachings upon un-
selfishness. AS one explicit state
ment for the reason for the sacrifice
of Christ we have this: He died
for all, thss they which live should
no longer live unto themselves"
pleasing is out, not only for
the duration of the war but for all
the new era of brotherhood that SO
many persons are invisaging.
The "Stand-Fasters."
Public opinion is volatile thing.
Or, at least, voluble politicians and
newspaper commentators make 1t
seem so. These surely do not rep
resent the great majority of Ameri-
can and Canadian citizens who are
quietly standing fast in this turbu-
lent time, proving by their labor,
their life and their gifts, the loyalty
