No Time For Dancing

Newspaper accounts of the celebrations which followed the news that Paris was liberated set us to wondering what Amer acan reaction will be when the fighting ceases in Europe and later in the Far East. Anyone who remembers November n, 1918. in this country remembers that it was day of junilation But We ven ture tO predict that the next ArmiStice Day will find us in a different mood. Armistice Day in 1918, for all the under tone of sorrow and all the lives lost, was somewhat like football victory at the annual homecoming game. There were bands and noiSemakerS and confetti and dancing in the streets But We are likely Co view the next ArmiStice Day as one that marks the passing of a crisis in a serious illness and the beginning of a long con- vAleScence. On November II, 1918, the light was won and peace had come to stay. Only the very cynical or the very far seeing doubted that. Kings had lost their thrones: We embraced world made safe for democracy. The war to end war was itself ended.
 Today we can already see the tremend- ous job that lies beyond peace. We can see it in Italy where, while fighting con- tinues. l0ng-Submerged parties and old rivalries have been reborn as the country struggles painfully toward stable govern meat. We shall shortly see France tackle her hard problem Of clearing out the decayed remnants of the Third Republic and founding new, united Fourth. The Balkans will have to bind up the re- Opfned wounds of ageless, endless quar- rels. Then China must resolve her un- happy internal situation. And these are only political problems. Such problems as food. health and currency, equally or mere important. must be worked on at the same time.
 Our armies in France have begun to capture the young first-line, Nazi-nur- tured cream of Hitler's forces. Inter views with these arrogant prisoners, ig- nOrant of all culture save Hitler's, enn- pfGsize the staggering job of de- and re- educating that must be done in Germany. There is an equally difficult tack of the same sort ahead of us in Japan. It is well that we know how sick the world has been. and how contagious that sick ness can be. Perhaps knowing will enable us to help nurse the world to real health this time even though the magnitude of the task leaves no time or inclination for dancing in the streets next Armistice Day.
