July Fourth is just around the cor
ner, if we may borrow phrase, when
leads to a number of things
To considerable number of men
and women in Detroit July Fourth
ought to have Il strange and inter-
esting meaning.
Race riots are. ugly things. 1t isn't
just exactly in line with the custom
ary thinking of July Fourth to shoot
up town with murderous intent.
The coal situation and its back
ground might offer some tantalizing
problems for analysis by July Fourth
orators.
The companies-few they seem to
be. thank goodness-that have chiseled
and cheated on munitions should have
some strange thoughts too, come July
Fourth.
But plain John Citizen can feel
pretty good about the way things 60 in
general.
X X X
The developments abroad give rea-
tragic business of suffering and sacri-
flee 1t has to be carried on to a finish
but the RESULTS ARE THE KIND
THAT LEAD TO VICTORY.
We know that many lives and much
treasure must be laid on the altar of
Freedom, but we know that the sacri-
flee is going to safeguard freedom for
the human race.
That's to the good ALL to the
good
The carpings of those who can be
called nothing less than defeatists are
doing little damage to the great cause
OF course the chances are that de-
featist or fifth column work played Il
part in the Detroit riots, but by and
large the tribe has had scant luck
among Americans.

SO, get ready to run up the flags
| everywhere.
| Turn out the bands.
Celebrate this July Fourth.
But not just by yelling "hurrah for
our side" It's got to go deeper than
| that. Much deeper.
| We need a continuing re-conSecra-
tion. We need to feel deeper than we
do that, for each of us, this is our
war!
If we can feel as we should, that
| for each individual among us, this is
our war; we shall have less of race
rioting, less of tincky and snap-judg
ment walkouts less cry-baby talk
about not enough fancy things to eat,
not enough gasoline and not enough
| fun.
1t happens that this war calls for
everything.
| There has been Il lot of repetition of
the fact that this war is an all-out
war, which puts its stern demands
upon all.
But too many people don't believe it
yet. They think it is all-Out for every
one else.
| Well, we haven't much more than
begun to realize how stern and all
embracing are the demands this war
makes upon us.
| 1t calls for our wealth and it calls
for our service.
1t calls for unity of determination
and surely for unity of understanding
of the tremendous issue around which
lit is being waged.
July Fourth is a good time to re-
assess our values, to get things straight
all over again, to know what it is all
about and what it must mean to each
single one of us.
Let us unitedly say on July Fourth,
This is my war and I'm going to act
as if MY contribution would decide
the issue !"-CMW

Mrs. Morgenthau
Urges Women to
Serve and Save
Calls Savings Bonds
Weabons Of Var
At Holiday Luncheon
By Gretchen Smith

Emphasizing the Importance Of
women's part in the war savings
program, Mrs. Henry Morgenthau
ir, wife of the Secretary of the
Treasury, told members of the
Women's National Democratic Club
yesterday that women of America
can serve as they save" and that
their weapons of war are War saw
ings bonds and stamps"
Speaking before the club at a
Washington's Birthday War bond
luncheon, Mrs. Morgenthau, who
is chief of the special activities
unit of the Womens section of the
United States war savings staff,
sketched past and present partici-
patton of women in the purchase of
stamps and bonds, adding an appeal
that their effective record be in
creased in the future.
George Washington had some
thing to say about this" she COM
mented You remember his ad-
vice, Let your hand give in pro-
portion to your purse"
The speaker urged that women
cas- stewards of their children's
future, invest their surplus in War
savings bonds, which will mature to
greater value and may be spent
with g clear conscience for civilian
goods when they are available"
More women are earning more
money today than ever before, Mrs
Morgenthau declared, and more
women than ever before are saving
money.
"Today's woman knows how to
balance. not only a check book, but
she knows how to balance values"
she added
Out of 100000 persons able to
buy bonds, there are only 100000
who have done so. Mrs Morgen-
thau asserted. She urged women
workers to roll up their sleeves and
go to work" to influence the 10000
900 who have not yet purchased
bonds, to change dangerous dollars
into fighting dollars"

than hone that when war is over
our country, viewing womens work,
will echo George WaShington's quiet
praise, the work is done, and we'll
done" she concluded.
The speaker was introduced BY
Miss Meredith Howard, chairman of
the clubs War Savings Committee.
Miss Howard also introduced an
honor guest, 1t Edward B. Gibson,
il, first American to drop a bomb on
Guadalcanal in the offensive against
the japanese last summer.
