implies that it's word is the one
the only, the final word.
This latter factor should not
keep it from being as interesting
on television as is used to be in
theaters when examining life in
the United States and elsewhere,
"A living record of today" is what
March of Time" promises and
what it may very well present, at
least in part.
The opening chapter. it must be
admitted, did not have much to
say that was earth-shaking. Life
IN the United States this autumn
is like this, it told us. Colleges are
opening and football is being
played. Farmers are busy with
their harvesting. County fairs are
providing their annual rural fes-
tivals. In New York the new
theater season is stirring. The high
cost of food goes higher and
higher. Servicemen are being
shipped to duty abroad. War con-
tinues in Korea. The presidential
campaign takes the candidates
back and forth across the land.
You can't argue with a word of
it. And now that the exposition is
out Of the way, March of Time
can get down to cases. When il
does, it ought to be a welcome ad-
|dition to our viewing fare.

ilized in the same white rum used
for the anaesthetic. Carl nodded
approval. Suddenly, the woman
frowned.
Now" she said, I'VE must
decide on the color of the thread
to be used"
Carlhid a smile. This, it seemed
was of such importance it had to
be decided by noisy family con-
ference that got nowhere until
finally Papa himself rose up from
the rough mahogany table on
which he now lay, and said,
There will be no further discus
sion. l wish Monsieur lie Docteur
to use the bright red thread be-
cause it will be the most impress
sive to show to my friends during
my convalescence."
With that the anaesthesia took
hold, the look of pain left his face
and he lost consciousness.
CARL MITCHELL, stripped to the
waist, not even wearing rubber
gloves. stepped up to the table.
The excited. jabbering natives,
the poverty of the house, the
Pickering light from the kerosene
lantern. carried him back through
the years to when he rode as in
terne on a city ambulance in the
slum districts IN New York -
when, in his youth and inexperi-
ence, successfully performing a
breech delivery or a Caesarian
brought him a sense of exalta-
ton and an enormous glowing
pride that he - Carl Mitchell -
was a Doctor.
"You, Pierre" he spoke in the
sharp voice of command. you
will pick three men and you will
hold the patient in position.
''Oui, M'sieur. Wen, Charles,
Robert, Franc"
The rest of you will leave the
room - at once"
The natives, mumbling in pro-
test, filed out. Helen Mitchell
came up to the table.
Can l help you, Carl? I'd
be glad to"
He shook his head. mo. / can
manage, thanks.
The coldness of command was
still in his voice. She looked into
his eyes.
''ARE you angry at me, Carl?"
Angry? No."
''You look 50 grim," she said,
II wondered"
He picked up a surgical knife
he had laid out. Saving or
losing-a life, is a grim business"
he said. You'd better go outside

She still fingered. Carl" she
said. do you always look like

There is no need for poison gas.
Another feature Of our life
that I think invites q similar
restraint Is the recurrent attacks
In some communities upon our
public schools.
There is no Justification for
indiscriminate attacks on our
schools and the sincere, devoted,
and by no means overpaid
teachers who labor In them. II
there are any Communist
teachers. Of course they should
be excluded. but the task is not
one for self-appointed thought
police or ill-informed censors.
As practical matter, we do not
stop Communist activity in this
way. What we do is give the
Communists material with which
to defame us. And we also
stifle the initiative Of teachers
and depreciate the prestige of
the teaching profession which
should be as honorable and
esteemed as any among us.
Let me now, in my conclud-
ing words. inquire with you
how we may affirm our patriot
ism in the troubled yet hope
full years that are ahead.
The central concern Of the
American Legion-the ideal
which holds 1t together-the
vitality which animates it
is patriotism. And those voices
remembered in our public
life have always had the ac-
cent Of patriotism.
It Is always accounted q vir.
tue in q man to love his coun-
try. With us it is now some

world, fertile and strong. It is
odd that one of the keys to
abundance should have been
handed to civilization on a
platter of destruction. But the
power of the atom to work evil
gives only the merest hint Of its
power for good.
I believe that man stands ON
the eve Of his greatest day. I
know, too, that that day is not
a gift but a prize; that we shall
not reach it until we have
won 1t.
Legionnaires are united by
memories Of war. Therefore, no
group is more devoted to peace.
I say to you now that there is
work to be done, that the dif-
f1culties and dangers that beset
our path at home and abroad
are incalculable. There is sweat
and sacrifice: there is much of
patience and quiet persistence
in our horoscope. Perhaps the
goal is not even for us to see in
our lifetime.
But we are embarked on a
great adventure. Let us pro-
claim our faith in the future Of
man. OF good heart and good
cheer, faithful to ourselves and
our traditions. we can lift the
cause Of freedom, the cause Of
free men, so high no power on
earth can tear it down. We can
pluck this flower. safety, from
this nettle, danger. Living.

cans-we can lead the way to

Advances in Understanding
National Security Problem


After the first war, many
Americans lost sight Of the fact
that only the strong can be free.
Many mistook an ominous lull
for permanent peace. In those
days the Legion knew, however,
that he who Is not prepared to-
day is less so tomorrow, and
that only q society which could
fight for survival would survive.
The Legion's fight to awaken
America to the need for mill.
tary preparedness is now largely
won. We have made great adj
vances in understanding the
problem Of national security in
the modern world. We no longer
think in terms of American re-
sources alone. We understand
the need for a great interna-
tional system of security, and
we have taken the lead in build
ing It.
We have Joined our strength
with that Of others-and we
have done so in self protection.
We seek no dominion over any
other nation-and the whole
free world knows It. II there are
those behind the Iron Curtain
who don't know it. it is because
their masters don't want them
to know it.
I am not sure that. histor-
ically, there has been another
powerful nation that has been
trusted as the United States is
trusted today. It is something
new under the sun when the
proudest nations on earth have
not only accepted American
leadership in the common de-
fense effort, but have also well
coined our troops and bases on
their territory. Ports the world
around are open to American
warships by day or night. Our
airmen are stationed In the
most distant lands.
Yet all is not perfect. There
are still vital interests which we
and our Allies are not militarily
prepared to defend.
Some Of us are reluctant to
admit that peace cannot be won
cheaply by some clever diplo-
matte maneuver or by propa-
ganda.
We have not yet really faced
up to the problem of defending
our cities against the rapidly
growing threat of Soviet air
power. There is, for example, a
great shortage Of volunteers for

E. StevenS0n's address today be-
fore the National American Le-
gi0n Convention:
I have attended altogether
too many conventions not to
know how you are all beginning
to feel here on the afternoon
Of your third day. You work
hard at Legion business most
Of the day, and then devote the
balance of your time to the
museums, art galleries, concerts
and other cultural monuments

you have to listen to speeches
too. ! console myself with the
thought that this punishment.
while cruel. is not unusual.
I have no claim, as many of
you do. to the honored title of
old soldier. Nor have I risen
to high rank In the armed serv-
ices. The fact that a great
general and ! are competing
candidates for the presidency

spect for his military achieve
mentS. Nor will: that respect
keep me from using every hon.

My own military career was
brief. It was also lowly. An
apprentice seaman in q naval
training unit was not, as some
Of you may also recall, a power
full command position in World
War I. My experience thus
provided me with a very special
view-what could be called a
worm's-eye view-of the serv-
ice. In 1918, I doubt If there
was anything more wormlike
than an apprentice seaman. I.

To me this is the type Of "pa-

Freedom of Mind Hos
Served America Well
The anatomy of patriotism
is complex. But surely intol-
erance and public irresponsi-
bility cannot be cloaked in the
shining armor Of rectitude and
and righteousness. Nor can the
denial Of the right to hold
ideas that are ditierent-the
freedom Of man to think as
he pleases. To strike freedom
Of the mind with the fist Of
patriotism Is an old and ugly
subtlety.
And the freedom Of the mind,
my friends, has served America
well. The vigor Of our political
lifes our capacity for change,
our cultural. scientific and In
dustrial achievements, all derive
from free inquiry, from the free
mind-from the imagination,
resourcefulnesS and daring of
men who are not afraid Of new
ideas. Most all Of us favor free
enterprise for business. Let us
also favor free enterprise for the
mind. In the last analysis we
would fight to the death to pro-
tect it. Why is it, then, that we
are sometimes slow to detect,
or are Indifferent to. the dangers
that beSet it?
Many Of the threats Of our
cherished freedoms In these
anxious. troubled times arise, it
seems to me. from q healthy ap-
prehensioh about the Communist
menace within our country.
Communism is abhorrent. It is
the strangulation Of the indi-
vidual: it Is the death Of the
soul. Americans who have sur
rendered to this misbegotten
idol have surrendered their right
to our trust. And there can be
no secure place for them In our
public life. Yet, as ] have had
occasion to say before. we must
take care not to burn down the
barn to kill the rats. All Of US,
and especially patriotic organi-
cations Of enormous influence
like the American Legion. must
be vigilant In preserving our
birthright from its too jealous
friends while protecting it from
its evil enemies.
The tragedy Of our day is the
climate Of fear in which we live.
and fear breeds repression. Too
often sinister threats to the Bill
Of Rights. to freedom Of the
mind, as I have said, are con-
cealed under the patriotic cloak
of anti Communism.
Attacks on Public Schools

I could add. from my own
experience, that it is never
necessary to call man o Com

Grail of Peace at End
OF Long Road We Travel

Men who have offered their
lives for their country know that
patriotism is not the fear of
something; it Is the love Of
something. Patriotism with
us is not the hatred of Russia;
it Is the love Of this republic
and of the ideal of liberty Of
man and mind in which it was
born and to which this repub-
lie is dedicated.
With this patriotism patriot
ism. in its larged and wholesome
meaning-America can master
its power and turn it to the
noble cause Of peace. We can
maintain military power with
out militarism: political power
without oppression. and moral
power without compulsion or
complacency.
The road we travel is long, but
at the end lies the grail Of peace.
And in the valley Of peace we

walton Corps.
Finally. many only partly un-
derstand or are loath to ac-
knowledge that the cost Of wag-
ing a cold war are but q frac-
ton Of the costs of general war.
So there remain important
tasks for us. ! believe in o
strong national defense, and I
believe that we must press for
ward to improve our position
and not waiver or hesitate in
|. this interval when the scales
are so precariously balanced.
While I think it is true that
today the fight for preparedness
is going well. there are other
and even more dificult tasks
that we dare not neglect.
The United States has very
large power in the world today.
And the partner Of power is
responsibility. It is our high,
task to use our power with a
sure hand and q steady touch
with the Selfrestraint that goes
with confident strength. The
purpose Of our power must
never be lost in the fact Of our
power-and the purpose. I take
it. is the promotion Of freedom,
justice and peace in the world.
We talk q great deal about
patriotism. What do we mean
by patriotism in the context of
our times? I venture to suggest
that what we mean is a sense Of
national responsibility which
will enable America to remain
master Of her power-to walk
with it in serenity and wisdom,
with self-reSpect and the re-
spect Of all mankind; q patriot
ism that puts country ahead Of
self; q patriotism which Is not
short, frenzied outhursts Of
emotion. but the tranquil and
steady dedication Of Q lifetime.
These are words that are easy
to utter. but this Is q mighty
assignment. For it Is often easier
to fight for principles than to
live up to them.
Patriotism, ! have said, means
putting country before self. This
is not abstract phrase. IN

American life today Of which we
cannot be proud.

thing more than a virtue. It
Is q necessity, q condition of

says that he loves his coun-

he loves the New England hills.

point up the secret that sincerity,

ner, not merely the words which
are spoken, give the clue to good
or bad hosts.
When Father used the word sim
cerity, he meant just that - not
overeffusiveness or overattentive-
ness.
As q teen-ager, l can remem-
ber being bafHed by the hostess
who is supposed to be ultra
sophisticated. Some such phrase
as, MY dear, how nice to see you"
was used with such monotonous
regularity to one and all that /
didn't see how anyone could feel
personally welcomed!
On the unsophisticated side, I'm
sure that at some time you've had
the experience of being greeted by
a hostess who stuck a hand out in
your direction and managed to
humble, Hello there" as she
either looked nervously over her
shoulder at the roomful of people
behind, or right by you toward the
next arriving guest.
There's another Ingredient to
good hostessing which Father
didn't mention in his story but
which has always seemed impor-

ofrelaxation. The nervous host and
hostess fit with lightning speed
