Thero't iha guy who doean't know anything ozeept what hit nightly radio commonlotor tellt hint. Hit Idoat cm o curiout mishire of ioct ond iancyi with a liberal tpiinkling of andent prejudicet and fears. Thm'l Ui» loud-mouthed guy who hoe oil the ^pe md want, orerybody to know It. He end. up calling the other guy all Unde of namei and trying to outehout him. hut He hoent convinced anybody. . Then there's the lad with tomething on the ball. He reodt the papers and rnagazinet, thidiet the situation cene- fuHy, and has a pretty good idea of what the score it. You con tell him from the rest because he doesn't argue about the war with them. In barrack after barrack, you'll find arguments In full «way, with the guys lying on their sacks and solving the war's problems of the top of their voices. And. as wars hove a way of doing, this one just keeps on going, regordlet of whot dedions the Sull-sessions come to. So. you might ask, what's the sense of talking about it? Well, there's a lot of sense to it. Intelligent discussion, with everybody knowing what he's talking about,- can ac- complUh a lot of things. If three guys get in a session, and two of them understand the situation, the third guy wui oome away with a much better Idea of everything. It stands to reason, then, that you con get a lot out ol such barracks^forums. ... . . i. But there's one joker in the deck. You ve got to know what you're talking about. You just don't run off at the mouth oboul things, and get anything important . .. What about free speech, you might ask? about the rioht to talk about anything you damn well please? Isn t that what we're fighting for . . . the right to shoot off our mouths whenever the spirit moves us? . - „ . ..... ... No, you've got to earn the right to talk. You ve got to prove that you can discuss things Intelligently before you have cmy business telling other people the score. That's the trouble with our democracy—too many guys going off holf-cocked. Too many charadert he^tog up the dir with balon,T. Too many lad. who thmk thrt boemw Uiey hoT, a tongu. In their mouth, they can buttonhole •omebody and bend bis ear. That ,tuH doeen't 90 anymore.
