Benefits OF Democracy
Also Demands Service
P. P. LindhoIm
Quotes Gen. Bradley
Al Rotary Meet

"The benefit of Democracy also
demands service" said Paul P. Lind
holm quoting Gen. Omar Bradley's
recent speech before a VFW meet
ing. Mr.. Lindholm spoke on Gen.
Bradley's address at the Tuesday
meeting of the Lexington Rotary
Club.
Quoting further from Gen. Brad
ley, Mr.. Lindholm said, ''Two-way
Democracy has been neglected by
American education"
This is a serious challenge to
American education, the Speaker
said, and a challenge well posed.
The words Of Gen. Bradley should
receive serious consideration from
the American people Mr.. Lindholm
said quoting:
despite the opportunity for free
education in these United States,
too many young men come into the
army appallingly ill-informed on the
issues and crises that warrant their
service" the army chief of staff
said.
American education has failed to
give many young men an alert ap-
probation of their liberties and a
consequent explanation of their OBJ
legations. We have too long con-
centrated on how to make good,
how to get ahead. We have taught
our young people how to plumber
our resources, how to get jobs, and
how to get rich.
1--WE have neglected to tell them
that Democracy is a two-way street
that with its benefits comes the
necessity for also giving service"
Touching or the international sit
uation and the draft revival, Brad
ley said "a tragically divided world
is engaged in a contest of perser-
verance and in a conflict of ideas"
He added:
"The United States cannot safely
bluff its way through the chancel-
leries of other nations without risk
ing all that we have gained from
victory in the last World War. There
is no economy that car justify the
need for some other Omaho beach
head in some future avoidable war"
Mr.. Lindholm concluded by say
ing members of the Rotary Club
along with other citizens should do
their part in seeing that American
youth is thoroughly grounded in the
fundamental principles of u form
of government in order to strength
en- Democracy in this country.

throughout our country today.
People r saying. "The war was
fought and won for what?"
The so-called peace we have to-
day is a small reward for Americas
expenditure of men, money, and
materials in World War II,
Return for fighting Russia will
be even less.
Loss of face" seems insignificant
when viewing war with all its horri-
BILE effects.
The American people can have
what we want war or peace.
In either case we must be strong in
order to get what we want
whether it is war or peace.
The necessity of strength is OBJ
vious in fighting a war. The neces-
sity of being strong to safeguard the
peace we want should be equally
obvious.

us that one ordinarily wouldn't
get in a year. There were services
