Rather than in silence shrink
From the truth they needs must think.

GLOBAL prosperity
When the war is all over, and
that farm boy comes back to the
way of life he has fought to pro-
tect. he is going to have clearer
understanding of the close relation
ship between his prosperity and
international affairs. He is going to
be more world-minded. He is going
to realize that the price he gets
for wheat is related to the price
charged by Russia, that it is af-
fected by the size of our merchant
marine, that it depends to some ex-
tent on the purchasing power of
England and that it is closely tied
up with the prosperity of industrial
concerns in our country and In for
eign markets.
When he gets back and looks
over the landscape-his farmland
he is going to understand that his
farm is not an isolated world in
itself but is part of a global picture.
He is going to realize that he can
not prosper for long unless the

PICTURES comparison

III ONES comparison
Anyone who owns copy of the
current Sears-Roebuck catalogue is
familiar with George Inness' beau
tiful painting entitled, "The Land
of Peace and Plenty" which deco
rates the catalogues cover.
The other night l was looking at
that picture while a radio COM
mentator was blasting forth with
news of death and destruction by
war. Here, on the one hand, was a
picture which many rural people
see every day of their lives a
picture of rich fertile fields, a quiet
colorful stream, gold-crested
mountain in the distance and a few
human beings scattered over the
landscape peacefully going about
their work. But, on the other hand
was horror story of boys who had
left that peaceful land, most Of
them voluntarily, to go thousands
of miles away and exist in hell
on earth-to spend their days in a
land where the landscapes are
blotted with bomb craters, barbed
wire and smoke, where the towns
are in ruins, where suffering and
violent death run rampant, and
where even the sky growls out and
filings hot steel at any moving OBJ
ject.
No matter how many deep-seated
reasons one may have heard for
war, when you put those glimpses
of two ways of living together the
reasons for it all seem to become
meaningless. Even though you
know, deep in your heart, that this
war has to be fought and won,
you can't help asking what force
it was which led that boy in the
Innes picture, who is shown
sprawled peacefully on top of a hay
wagon, to climb down, pack his
clothes, go off to town to enlist
and willingly - almost eagerly -
agree to be shipped overseas tc
fight to the death with an enemy
whom he had never seen.
SPIRIT history
Actually, ! doubt If that farm
boy could tell you why he
climbed down from the hay
wagon and went to war. If you
asked him he might give you
one of the stereotyped answers

exporter and even the financier
prosper with him.
When he comes back he is going
to know it was worthwhile to get
down from the hay wagon and go
to foreign lands to turn back the
aggressors who. if ignored, could
have, through economic pressure
brought our people to their knees
without even having to invade our
land.
And above all. he Is going to
realize that a war in any part of
the world endangers his home
that his family's security can have
no permanency unless war is out
lawed for good.

but ! doubt if the real reason
can be put into words at all.
In fact it probably wasn't
reasoning process that made
him decide to be soldier. 1t
was more an emotional re-
action or an inbned spirit.
To understand it probably neces-
states a clear understanding of the
whole history of our country-of
the growth of America from the
time this boys ancestors fought
Indians to the time his father
fought in the first war with the
Germans.
1t all undoubtedly adds up to pro-
lection of the home. Way back that
meant the home in which he and
his family lived, then it meant the
continent on which his home folks
became more dependent for their
welfare, and finally protection OF
home" became an international
affair.
