TRUE STORY. The harbor of the

depot of the German Army in Greece.
was quiet. The Nazis had doubled
their guard on the waterfront. Inn
portant cargoes were tied to the piers.
and the starving population was sui
len and dangerous.
Despite the sharpened vigilance,
however, not a single sentry saw the
quick little figure that darted from
one shadowy doorway to the next
along the quayside. Silent as NOUS
ing cat, it padded its way to the gang
way of a steamer. During the moment
that the guard turned his back, it
was up and over the ships side; and
a few minutes later. off again by way
of a hawser, hand over hand, to
repeat the process on another vessel,
and another. Nobody noticed thing.
until roaring EXPLOSIONS began snak-
ing the waterfront.
HALT! They caught him, running.
when they switched on the flood
lights. clutching a package of demoli-
ton charges and time fuses under his
coat. He was Nicolas Papanikos,
Athens schoolboy. aged l6.
The charge?" barked the Nazl
commissar, at his summary court the
next morning.
Sabotage" said the police lieu
tenant. Serious sabotage. He blew up
two vessels in the Piraeus last night.

minded and thoughtful without that
mounting gaiety of spirit with which we
met the gigantic threat of only four
years ago.
And even fighting men. as much evil
dence shows. are more thoughtful than
would first appear Along with all that
equipment of destruction which has gone
into Europe there also goes, deep IN
the minds of the fighting men who have
taken it there. a semi-articulate mass of
doubts, aspirations, queries and half
formed resolves.
Their doubts and queries have nothing
to do with their prospects in the field.
They are as sure as Montgomery himself
that victory sooner or later will be theirs
and ours What they wonder, as We all
wonder, is what is going to follow victory.
what we can make of our world after
that
True, we shall utterly destroy the power
of the Nazis. 1t is good that We shall make
it impossible for any clique of German
staff officers and industrialists to plan
further wars; good that we shall do the
same with Japan. Excellent. But the
world that produced these enormities and
recurring disasters must itself be pro-
foundly changed
The supreme task of US civilians now,
over and above our individual contribu-
tions to the war effort, is to rid ourselves
of bad old mental habits, to think hard
and unselishly, to make ourselves ready
for new world. which will be something
better than the scramble and dog fight
of competing national and sectional
interests.
lHIs way, and this way alone. we
redeem our fighting men from senseless
suffering and death and transform them
into the first heroes and martyrs of a noble
world cause. -Four years ago, in the DAYS
of Dunkirk, democracy was faced with
the choice of perishing ignobly or making
an heroic gesture and great moral resolve.
l believe the same choice lies before our
whole civilization
We have it in our power to turn D-Day
into the first real day of deliverance, not
alone of small groups here and there, but
OF the whole suffering, struggling human
family.

that which had already descended upon

for US. Nevertheless, ventured to say in
that first broadcast that what began as
miserable blunder. catalogue of mis-
fortunes and miscalculations, ended as an
epic of gallantry," and that ''out of the
black gulf of humiliation and despair rises
a sun of blazing glory" And these opin-
ions, l think. accurately expressed the
views of the English people as we waited
for Hitler's invasion, that June OF four
years ago.

has been reversed A visitor to London
today probably would not notice anything
out of the ordinary There are more people
buying evening papers, fewer people going
to theaters and films, perhaps; more lis

is because we are either tired or too hard

vast preparations have kept our lives spare

because the underlying mood is solemn
