Time To Spare
Out in California, Mrs Helen Peters, mother
of seventeen children, alter doing the family
wash and cooking for her brood, finds time to
maintain an air raid watch. Just recently she
enrolled in a first-aid class to take up the re
mainder of her spare time.
The children may not get all the attention
thev need and hardly live a life as easy as does
a worthless lap dog. but the important thing
about the woman's schedule of activities is
that she finds time to serve her country. And
yet there are those who think their rights have
been thwarted if they are asked to give up just
one game of bridge.
Still Fifihtinn In The Future
"America is still fighting a futuristic war. As
for the present it is losing ground, according to
reliable reports For example, Cincinnati is now
producing steel at 84 per cent of capacity as
compared with 9,ri per cent a year ago, and there
are four furnaces idle No, the reduction is not
traceable to a labor strike. The reduction is the
hatched result of a sitzkrieg. America hasn'-t
found time to gather up its old scrap iron and
keep the furnaces running.
Industrial leaders assured us not so many
months ago that there was no shortage in alum
inum. steel, rubber and other basic materials.
Surely, they will now admit there is a siiort
age, but they still have their ostrich-like heads
buried in a Chamberlain grave of appeasement.
Dollar-a-yiar men 111 Washington could break
the bottleneck by a government order calling
upon and demanding the people to strip the
country of its iron fences, ornaments, and above
all the six million junk ears moving to the blast
furnaces
While blast furnaces stand idle because of
some weakling's poor judgment, we are told in
a current issue of "Victory." an official week
ly bulletin of the agencies in the office for Em
ergency Management, that vast aluminum and
magnesium expansion programs are on the
way, that there'll he enough m?ta1r for 195,000
planes in 1943. Everything is in the future. Back
yonder we were told what would be happen
ing in 1941. So far credit can be given the pro
gram for 2,000 planes delivered to England and
about fifteen to General MacArthur. And it is
possible that others are on the way some where.
It would be a tense period all right, but we are
ready to forego all proffered information about
what's going to be done in the future and wait
until our leaders can tell us something has been
done even if it is nothing more than the assur
ing information that thirty planes have been
sent to MacArthur.
Be Fair!
By Ruth Taylor.
"If the fires of freedom and civil liberties burn
low in other lands, they must be made brighter
in our own." So says our President
One thing we must not do. We must nut echo
the actions of our enemies by persecution of
the aliens in our midst. That is the weapon of
intolerance and prejudice our foes want us to
use It is a direct denial of the American way of
life.
The other day it was stated thus bluntly: "De
cent people do not consider racial origin We are
a people, not a race " Being an American is not
a matter of common race, common nationality
or common religion but of a common belief in
all ideal of equal treatment and equal oppor
tunity for all.
Some people have attempted to differentiate
critically between the immigrants who came
here years ago, and the refugees harried to our
shores since the Terror in Europe. They forget
that each of our waves of immigrants were the
refugees of their day, from the Pilgrims landing
on the rockbound coast of New England, to the
Maryland Catholics who passed the first relig
ious liberty laws on these shores, and to the Ger
mans from the Palatinate, finding the savage
Indians and the relentless wilderness of the Mo
hawk Valley more merciful than the armies of
the kings of Europe. Even the Irish were refu
gees?from famine. There is hardly an Amer
ican without a strain of refugee blood in his
veins.
Loyalty breeds loyalty. We can .keep the
aliens in our midst loyal if we foster loyalty by
demonstrating our own fidelity to thy princi
ples on which our nation was founded. We
must not discriminate against the alien?be he
refugee or immigrant. Each and every one is
entitled to a fair chance. If we believe in dem
ocracy, we must put it into practice in our own
life and actions.
While we must not constitute ourselves a
self-appointed police force, we must be vigilant,
prompt and courageous m reporting all subvers
ive actions or speech to the F. B. I. or the De
partment of Justice?but don't let us accuse,
try and condemn on our own.
The Bill of Rights applies to ,all within our
borders. We are a law abiding nation?not a
law fearing nation, and our laws are for all of
us Americans by birth, Americans by choice
or the stranger within our gates. That is dem
ocracy; The word itself precludes discrimina
lion. ? . v ,.
We Shall Not Be
Found Wanting
(The Mission Herald)
We live in days which are going to
test each and every man. Not only
individuals but also the corporate
life of our day must face this testing.
In this testing a relentless judg
ment will be passed upon the worth
of every man and corporate entity
and the worth will be determined
not by good intentions but by the
capacity to meet heroically the crisis
of our day and to go forward. ?
It is not a day when individual or
corporate groups can merely seek
survival, but rather we must have
a reckless eagerness to give our
selves for the cause we serve that
it may survive. We are called as nev
er bt fore to prove our belief in the
cause of Christ. Courage will drown
the voice of defeatism which tempts
us' to think that the work of the
Church might have to wait because
retrenchment would force us to get
ulong with lobti. Clear and alert vis.
ion will dispel the Maginot Line
complex which might blind us with
the idea that the Church must be
content to be on the defensive in
these days and thus mark time.
The president has said that we
must and will win not only the war
but also the peace. Victory in the
war is a prerequisite for winning the
peace but something more than a
physical triumph is needed to make
the ensuing peace an opportunity for
producing a better world, one more
in accord with God's purpose.
To do this we must win this war
as Christians. War in itself tends to
arouse just those evil passions and
motives which we denounce in our
enemies. It encourages the heresy
that 'might is right." and that na
ture gives to the strong a mandate
?o control the weak for their own
purposes.
It would be of little avail to win
a physical victory in our struggle to
preserve freedom and the democra
tic way of life if in winning we be
came infected with the germs of
those very moral diseases, which
have always proved destructive of
liberty, peace and human well-be
ing.
If we are honest with ourselves we
will recognize, quite apart from the
moral dangers incident to war, that
we fall far below the moral level
that is necessary to maintain them,
despite our general loyalty to the
ideals of freedom, justice, and dem
ocracy. ^
God has given democratic nations
ample opportunity to demonstrate to
the world the superior worth of free
dom and the democratic way of life.
If the larger section of the world has
hot only failed to be impressed but
has reacted violently against these
ideals, the blame for this is partly
ours. In our internal life we too
frequently have used liberty as an
occasion for the flesh or as a cloak I
"f maliciousness.
Unless these moral defects which
in the past have undermined and
weakened democratic institutions are
eliminated, there is little reasqg_tq_
hope that such institutions will work
any more effectively after the war
Victory may save democracy from
sudden death but it may also leave
it the victim of a deadly moral pois
on. If this happens we can only ex
pect in the future another even
more terrible crisis than the present.
It is true that the manner in which
the war was thrust upon our coun
try produced a tremendous moral
reaction. It created a unity of pur
pose, energy of action, willingness to
sacrifice, determination to throw
every resource into the struggle.
When, however, the fires of war have
been extinguished, we must guard
against a fall of moral temperature
to the former level of inefficiency.
Moreover, while war stimulates
those qualities which are needed for
its successful prosecution, along with
them it arouses others such as hat
red. revenge, and ruthlessness, which
are incompatible with justice and
lovt needed for a proper peace~set
tlement.
We cannot assume, therefore, that
the winning of the war in itself will
accomplish the purpose for which
we profess to be fighting. This would
be true even if that purpose were
merely our own security. Experience
has shown that a security establish
ed on military victory is short-lived.
' But even from the point of view
of worldly wisdom we cannot limit
the purpose of this terrible struggle
to the preservation of the status quo.
The war itself is a demonstration of
its inadequacy. The recognition of
this is found in the frequent pro
nouncements that we are seeking to
establish a new and better world.
This can be accomplished only by
the establishment here among our
selves of the new order which we be
lieve to be God's will for the world.
We can win the war as Christians
only by making America really
Christian.
This means more than that we
must be a people with high moral
standards. High moral standards
without the power to live up to them
is a cruel mockery. We can acquire
this power only through faith in
God. The new order about which we
talk is God's purpose for the world.
It is ooly as we put ourselves under
God's direction, submit ourselves to
His guidance, and open our hearts to
the reception of His power that we
can hope to achieve it. "Except the
Lord build the house.the laborerlab
oreth in vain" is a truth that has
been confirmed by too many centur
ies of human experience to need any
further proof.
