Ours must first be the spirit OF reverent

heroism of our sons, made victory possible. We
must be just and firm-just TO people pitifully
misguided and tragcally tempted firm with its
criminal leaders. World War II came not be-
cause of the Versailles peace treaty, which was
of the essence of forbearance but because of the
unwisdom Of imagining that we could keep peace
within and without our frontiers by refraining
from contact with the nations. We have learned
the lesson. our children must not again pay the
