LET Us GIVE THANKS FOR TRIUMPHS IN BATTLE
By HARRY n. SCHlACHT

1t pulsaes with courage and high resolution TO the
country which they have so nobly planned
Their mighty heart transmits current OF renewed
vigor and vitality through the veins of humanity
Today our country engaged in the boodes contest in
all recorded history.
Our concepts of religious freedom have been and still
are those of the Pilgrim Fathers.
We are not fighting to conquer.
We are fighting to free.
The sterling manhood of America has crossed the seas
in the crusade for the liberation of oppressed
mankind.
Let us give thanks that gallant lads achieving
many victories and that the stars and stripes are
again triumphantly waving in the Philippines and
on the soil of the Rhineland
In the temple of hearts this Thanksgiving let
us think and feel with heroic sons lover there"
Let us be worthy of them.
Let us resolve that faith shall be strong and
arms firm in defending the things we hold truly
American and preserve them for our posterity.
Though thousands of miles separate us. we will be
with fighters for freedom in mind and heart
and spirit
Let pray that out of the consuming flames of war
MN there shall rebirth of freedom, a re-
awakening of the faith of Pilgrim Fathers
who beseeched Almighty God for spiritual guild
ance at Plymouth Rock.
May God lead us to know the worth of
brotherhood when mans inhumanty to man will
cease and we may dwell IN unity and peace.

America observes Thanksgiving Day.
1t was the first holiday on American soil.
1t was the first conquest of religious freedom
1t was first celebrated at Plymouth, Mass, in
1921
1t was symbozed by the Pilgrim Fathers who
embarked upon hazardous journey to un-
known habitations in search of spiritual
emancipation.
1t was a day of humility and Devotion a day in
which to voice expressions of thankfulness
for Gods Sustenance
The history of organized liberty began in America with
the landing of the Pilgrim Fathers.
They have forged a great nation out of the huge
wilderness.
They have planted a civilization where once the land
knew nothing but the flowing waters and the
passing wind
They have put laughter and song where rang out
the melodies of nature and the stirring cries OF
the elements.
They have directed footsteps into unknown forests
and waving prairie grass.
They pointed out the path that leads to heights
of better living and the pinnaces OF purer purpose.
We still cling to the hem of their great achievements
TO grasp breath of their changeless fortitude.
The throb of their noble lives beats into the ears OF
listening generations.

WHAT WE NEED

WE NEED throughout America
w today, more than ever before,
a loftier and nobler ALLEGIANCE.
AS we understand it, allegiance is
devotion or loyalty to that which
is entitled to obedience or service
and respect"
We need, as "teen-agers" and
adults, a loftier and nobler allegiance
to our country, our churches, our
parents, our sch ools and our
superiorS.
When we have this degree of
allegiance, we then impose upon our
selves a wider range and more
rigid form of self-discipline.
When our self-discipline is based
upon obedience or service and re-
spect. then we have eliminated in

TO THE EDITOR:
WHAT is it? Is there such a

ing all this propaganda that we
have been taught, and that we

reactionary forces for the one
and only reason: to keep the
common people divided. Let's
figure out how this is TO their
advantage.

world divided cannot stand"
Reactionaries say. Divide and
conquer. They also say that
prejudice and race hatred is in
herited, which is damnable
lie. TO misguide the common
people. We all know that chill

il would be in the minds OF our
children from birth. and not

airy forces by various methods
which they are qualified 10 use.

teaching race hatred by these

ton obtained by the teachings
of our unions that the So-called
racial problem is really an eco
nonic one.
We, the common people OF to-
day, know that If there are
jobs, education. proper housing,
etc, for all people. we have no
reason to fear that our white
brothers or our brown brothers
have TO fear going without these
necessary things of life.
Reactionary forces know that
when workers work together in
harmony and play together with
JOY, they secure an education or
understanding each others
problems. That his day of rul-
ing the masses of people with
an iron hand of fear, while he
grows fat with earthly gain,

hatred for the Jews, that started

WE FIND upon weighing the facts

ton of juvenile delinquency as it is

We shall make the simple state

then RESPOND TO A HIGHER
STANDARD OF USEFUL LIVING.
If every adult would keep before
youth the lOftier ideals to which
youth should aspire and those in

never descend, a great contribution
to society would be made and much
of our juvenile delinquency, as we
know it today, would be eliminated.

Thanksgiving Day

EOR the third time in this great
L war, which has not yet run its full
and troubled course, the American
people are compelled to observe their
traditional day of thanksgiving with
anxious hearts.
Perhaps even this is not their last
wartime Thanksgiving
AS long as the war continues,
heir anxieties will endure.
Only peace will lift this burden
from them.
Until their sons are home again,
their homes united again, their fruit
full labors turned to peaceful enter
prise again, they will neither seek
nor desire release from that heavy
burden.
But the American people haze
deep and earnest conviction about
their Thanksgiving Day observance.
They have never made the attain
ment of all their detectives, the full
fillment of all their desires. the
condition of its observance.
TWO years ago on Thanksgiving
i Day we had been at war nearly
full year, and it had been dark and
ominous year of grim and costly de-
feats, and yet our people had the
strength and the courage and the
faith to observe it.
A year ago on Thanksgiving Day
we had sent overseas great host of
our young men, and soon they were
to fight and die on hostile beaches
and in forbidding jungles, and yet
our people were of such faith that
they observed the day.
Now we have arrived at another
Thanksgiving Day, and peace is not
yet attained and only part of the
ruthless and memorable price of war
has been paid and the greater and
more destructive price of war is yet
to be paid, and our people are still
of good faith and observe the day.
THUS it may be seen that Thanks
i giving Day, as the American
people observe it now and have al
ways observed it, is not an occasion
reserved for acknowledging receipt
of the blessings we have desired and
for which we have prayed.
Rather, it is an occasion for &C
acknowledgement of the duty and con-
dition our American faith imposes

BEHIND
THE NEWS
BY Paul
MalIon

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23-All
w the news from China has
been bad lately. excepting
Generalissimo Chang Kai
Shek's thorough shaking out OF
his cabinet.
From the inside, il appears
that the generaliSsimo, having
been instrumental in ousting
our Gen. Stilwell and thus hav-
ing saved face with his own
people for the military failures,
is now getting ready 10 CO.
operate more closely with the
other United Nations. AT least
this is what might be termed
the inner official View here.
The motives behind the Still
well withdrawal, unexplained at
the time, thus now become
more fully evident. The whole
panoply of myStifying news
from that front thus becomes
apparent. Chang always has
been suspicious of the Chinese
Communists
WHILE they are fighting on
w his side with their armies
far off in the north, he ac-
tually has had soldiers de-
tached from his own war effort
on the japanese front to watch
them. True, the Communists
have not been much of a deter
rent to the Japs. While some
published estimates of their
strength run as high as 100000.
numbers are worthless in
gauging any Chinese fighting
forces.
No one knows how many
troops the Commies have, ex-
cept that these have been suffi-
cient TO repel a few Jap attacks.
Many whom they count as sol
diers actually are farmers who
run TO action in an emergency.
Others are unframed civilians,
and the term bandit" has been
applied TO a few in the past.
Now by kicking from his
cabinet the strongest anti-Com-
munist elements. Chang is fall
ing in line with the ideas of
officialdom here for more CO.
herent action on that front.
However. the change can be
interpreted as more political
than military so far.
THOSE who know the new
L war minister say they ex-
pect his leadership to bring
some improvement in Chinese
fighting, but very few people in
this country appreciate the diff
ficulties he is facing.
Frankly, il must now he said
that no satisfactory Chinese
military effort has developed
anywhere lately The action on
the Salween River front may
be an exception. but there we
trained the officers and men. It
is now time to admit also that
China is mostly in Jap hands.
All Of the industry and much of
the agriculture went long ago.
The seacoast is closed. Most of
the internal railroads are con-
trolled by the Japs.
Today we are flying in from
India through the only contact
the Chinese have with the out
side world, more materials Of
war than were carried on the
Burma road before the Japs
cut il.
But our planes flying in a load
of gas. for instance. probably
consume as much as they can
carry as a load. The limitations
upon our assistance are there
fore evident. and likely TO con-
tinue indefinitely. although we
have greatly increased our sup
plies in the last five months.

WE DO not pray for God to be on
w our side, but, as A bra h a m
Lincoln said, to be sure we are on
Gods side.
Otherwise we would soon be an
embittered and disillusioned people,
feeling ourselves forsaken in our
faith.
The American people seek and
find strength in their faith, not spe-
cial rerDards for it.
They are thankful for the
strength they find in their faith, that
not only enables them to be delivered
from evil but that empowers them
morally and spiritually to resist evil
ambitions.
They are thankful to be coming
safely through the terrible ordeal of
war.
They are thankful that the free
institutions of their beloved land are
to endure.
They are thankful that their sons
will come home to this free land, and
find it preserved for them and
worthy of the sacrifices they have
made for it.
The Thanksgiving spirit in Amer
lea today is the spirit of a reUerent
people, heavily burdened by anxiety,
but sure of the Justice of their cause.
1t is the spirit of a nation which
aspires to victory and peace, not as
it's exclusive possessions, but as the
wholesome and beneficial conditions
under which all mankind may live
in brotherhood.
America is strong in this spirit,
and incomparably rich in it, and the
manner of our Thanksgiving Day
observance is the wonder and the
hope of this struggling and suffering
world.
