Arendt Chaplain Corps, USN My good friend. Rabbi Joseph Gitin has ac cepted my suggestion that he contribute to this column. Rabbi Gitin calls this contribution “Victory For Brotherhood,” and I am happy to present this point of view to you now. Victory For Brotherhood From the blue reaches of the Pacific to the ice-bound wastes of the Arctic, free men are marching to the liberation of the world. These are men of all faiths and they march as brothers in a great common cause. Secretary of the Navy, Frank Knox, once stated that as U precedes V in our alphabet so Unity must precede Victory. In this titanic struggle we are fighting side by side with all those who want to be free and who express their allegiance to the Father of all mankind. It is this unity that makes for brotherhood in our armed forces. A letter from “some where in Australia” affirms this belief: “Last Friday evening I attended Hebrew services. A Catholic Chaplain obtained the prayer books for the group, and the sermon was delivered by a Presbyterian minister. The services were held in a Methodist Church and the Congre gation consisted of about 30 Jewish soldiers from this particular theater of operations.” It is ironical but true that this war is mak ing us realize that brotherhood ought to be practiced in our every day life. When news came that America had been treacherously at tacked at Pearl Harbor, the American people didn’t think of the casualties in terms of Protestants, Catholics, Jews. To us all, they were just Americans who had given their lives fQr America. I can picture a Protestant or Jewish boy in an island in the Pacific receiving a blood transfer—^blood donated by a Catholic. We must learn NOW to link liberty with obligation, rights with duties, equality with difference. The symphony of peace now sil enced by the crashing shells in fields of battle will once again (and we pray, soon) play its music of victory—^the Victory of Brother hood! — 'ffuster Bits— Returning to familiar haunts after eight years absence.
