" HERE BLOWS THE WIND?
by RUTH TAYLOR

Some time ago there was a very
striking cartoon in the London Daily
Herald which was reprinted in the
New York Times. 1t showed two Nazi
soldiers on the way back to Germany,
each bearing big bag of loot. Behind
them is a ruined city whose flaming
buildings blaze against the sky. With
fear in his eyes, one soldier is crying
to the other, But the wind is in this
direction!"
Where blows the wind? The holo-
caust started in small blaze. Japan
moved into Manchuria We shrugged
our shoulders and said that the fire
was on the other side of the world
Italy attacked Ethiopia and we said,
Isn't it too bad?" The Nazis began
their persecution Of the Jews and we
shed crocodile tears and said, I'VE can
90 noth;ng-we don't interfere with
The internal affairs of any nation"
Then IIitler's legions started their re-
lentloss march over Europe and we
said: 1T does seem as though Europe
could clean its own house"
We should have known better-we
who have had experience with forest
fires, who know that dropped match
or a carlessIy thrown away cigarette
can bring devastation to acres Of tim
berland, engulfing farms and villages
as it speads.
Where blows the wind? Ask those
who first bombed civilians-ask them
as they stand in their ruined cities
with their dead around them. Who
started all this? The German people
can suffer and complain, but they had
surrendered their bodies and souls,
even before the war began, and they
are now poWerless to control their des-
tiny. Where blows the wind?
1t is right to be merciful-but not
right to be maudlin. Twice in a gener-
alton have these fires been lighted We
were not blameless in that we might
did not-but neither were we the ones
