The Waterbury Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1917-1946, 1944-05-29

Can the churches Of America refuse
to condone war and still refuse to con-
done evil? That question has been
plaguing many of Americas churchmen
since the war began. The majority OF
pastors may have solved it realistically
and periodically, but there is inescapable
evidence that some clerical attitudes, both
official and private, have been at odds
with the overwhelming sentiment OF this
country for a successful, decisive tern1in-
alton of this war. It is encouraging to
mote that the Methodist church, at its
recent general conference, reversed It's
1910 stand with resolution that GOD
Himself has stake in the struggle. we
repudiate the theory that state, even
though imperfect in itself, must not fight
against intolerable wrong" The vote on
this resolution, reached after five hours
of debate, was 373 to 800. But the lay
vote made it as decisive as it was, since
the clergy gave the resolution bare NAL
prity of ITO to 169
A few days after this vote, however, a
sspeace now" plea was voiced by the Rev.
Henry Darlington, an Episcopal clergy
man of New York City. He urged that
the Pope, the Archbishop Of Canterbury
and the Metropolitan of the Russian
Church drop their differences and unite
in calling on political heads of all ma
tons to work for peace as they have
worked for war. 1t seems incredible that
DR.. Darlington does not believe that this
war is being fought for peace - but
peace so decisive that it may be endur-
ing, rather than Mr.. Chamberlain's peace
in our time" Surely he must realize that
Christian civilization was imperiled by
a danger too desperate to be removed by
half-meaSureS.
Nazi and Japanese barbarism is ma
lignancy in the worlds flesh. 1t cannot
be cured by sedativeS. 1t must be cut
away and destroyed to stop its growth.
That is a frightfully bloody and painful
business, but it must be done. AS the
crucial operation in this fight for free
life is about to commence, Dr. Darlington
would have us return to the sedativeS OF
appeasement and negotiation. The min
listers who protested the bombing of Ger
many would have the surgeon bleed so
that the patient might suffer further
gavages of the old disease. Would it not
be better II our stubbornly pacifistic cler-
gy could emulate the courage of their
colleagues now serving as chaplains? Or
might they not follow the example Of those
many ministers who realizing Christian
ity's stake, have thrown their spiritual
power behind the struggle for total VIC
tory? Fighting Christians, and their
families at home, need hope and comfort,
not the doctrine OF futility and censure.

Memorial Day, 1914

We are constantly reminded that
Memorial Day should not represent one
grand outpouring of emotion and senti-
1nent on May 80, and May 30 only. Every
day should, and we expect is, Memorial
Day with all of us. We do, however, APP
preciate the designation of one day when
our war dead are remembered. AS the
day daWnS the memory goes back to the
first war within the memory of any OF
us - the Civil War between the states;
then we pass on to the Spanish American,
with an appreciable gap until World War
I which comes within the memory OF
most of us. Then we arrive at the pres
ent World War which seems to be the
most tremendous and frightful OF all
wars.
Last year as we approached Decora-
ton Day the thought was IN the minds
OF all-perhaps when Memorial Day
comes around next year we will have
reached the end Of the war But May,
1914, was not the time.
There are more sorroWing hearts. In
q years time war has devastated coun-
tries and it has taken lives Things do
not so much matter though they are
precious. But the tremendous loss OF life
appals us, though we feel that those who
have died have not died in vain.
Again we visit the cemeteries; we 60
to church. and we pray for those who
have died, and who are about to die. To
many Memorial Day is just another holi-
day when you go on picnics, watch
parades and perhaps experience bit OF
sentimental sorrow at impassioned
speeches. But to just as many it is day
AS are all ensuing days-to pray for
our war dead, adding to the prayer
another for Just peace TO come.

who has been in constant contact with
the casualty lists may realize that many
boys from this district have paid the SUI
preme sacrifice as members Of our armed
services during World War II.
Nor does that figure include the numer-
Gus men who have been reported as mis-
sing in action Until these men are Of
ficially listed as dead, we shall maintain
our hopes that eventually they will re-
turn.
So for emphasis on this Memorial Day,
we recall the names ofDour community'S
"gold star" heroes We list them that
friends and neighbors may remember
their smiling, boyish faces and thereby
draw an inspiration which words alone
cannot bring forth.
Remember that these young persons
loved life; that the morning sunrise and
the evening sunset brought thrills to them
as they do to us; remember that these
young men had weethearts-Some had
wives and children-So that there was
much worth returning to. Theirs has
been sacrifice such as Americans have
paid in all our wars sacrifices that loved
ones might prosper in body and spirit,
that a nation might grow strong-lives
dedicated on the altar Of liberty.

From Duluth to the Sea

Six successive Presidents of the United
States have recommended finishing the
job God started when the greatest of all
natural inland waterways were laid down
in an area called the Great Lakes. When
the railroads were chasing steamship
lines off the Mississippi River, Wiscon-
sin editor, Frank Flower of Superior,
started one-man campaign for deep
waterway to the sea. The Wisconsin leg
islature was impressed and later on
half dozen other States joined in backing
efforts to secure National legislation.
Thirty or forty years ago Congress SHE'D
at every suggestion that might cost
three or four hundred million dollars.
That was before the Administration and
Congress abandoned economy. In the
meantime some Of the big power CON-
panies tried so hard to snitch the water
rights that the efforts of the seaways
advocates were weakened.
A few days ago Representative Will
liam A. Pittenger of Duluth introduced
julius H. Barnes as his fellow towns
man" to Congress, by way of inserting
an address by Mr.. Barnes made at
Ogdensburg, N. y, before large gath
ering OF public spirited citizens, who met
to discuss one Of the greatest postwar
planning projects now before Congress"
Mr. Barnes said in his address that "the
American Railway Association opposes
this development and has for years; they
oppose it today even when they are at
their wits end to handle their vital
traffic"
Barnes is thoroughly competent to tell
the story of the seaways - an effort the
Washington correspondent of this paper
was converted to by Frank Flower, who
brought the movement to the attention
of the United States.

ON PHANTOM RIDGE
New York Times)

Phantom Ridge rises northwest Of
Casino across the valley of death
from Monastery Hill. When eve
ming comes wraiths of mist trail
over 1t and the country people
whisper that it ID haunted. 1t is
haunted now. Thousands Of in
veterate enemies, Poles and Ger
mans, lie at peace on its slopes.
They will have a long rest there,
after a fierce struggle.
From Phantom Ridge one can
see both the Via Casilina. down
which the Eighth Army is pursuing
the enemy, and Monastery Hill.
which blocked the way SO long.
When the Poles at terrible cost
took the shattered abbey their red
and-white flag went fluttersng up
the tower while a single bugler
soupded the Hejnal. an old call end
ing on a strange and mournful note.
In the thirteenth century the Hej-
nal summoned the toWnsfolk of
Cracow to the walls TO save Europe
by repelling q Tartar horde. The
call ended when an arrow pierced
the trzmpeteris throat. So 1t ends
today, on the same broken note.
But the Tartars were driven back
never to return. Ever since, the
Hejnal has reminded the Poles OF
their ancient victory.
II anything could stir the dead on
Phantom Ridge 1t would be that
flag fluttering across the valley
and the grieving OF the lonely bu-
gle. II may be that they hear more
and see farther than the living.
Perhaps they hear already the con-
fused rlambling OF enemy armies
fleeing, not along the Via casilina,
but down the last roads to Berlin.
