He also told his hearers that boys now fighting will look to first World War veterans for leadership and con structive thinking, for the United | States will play an important role in | mapping the course of world events. “For about five years after the j war ends, to my way of thinking ” j he said. “America will have an op j port unity to render the greatest ser | vice any nation has ever had, and we ; must be outspoken, tactful, willing jto see the other fellow’s side in a give and take manner.” Judge Carr urged the Legionnaires to become as well informed as possi i ble about post-war plans. He said that after the war there will be two schools., of thought, either national or international. If the former pre vails, he said an opportunity will be . j lost to render the greatest service to ; the world, but that if an intemation i al viewpoint is taken and America is I thought of as a leader, then we will t jbe able to make some progress i, J | eliminating force to maintain peace ii j the world. ! In closing his remarks, he appeal- I ed to the Legionnaires to adopt the j international viewpoint for in so do- ' j ing will be found the proper course J to pursue in behalf of the boys who will be coming back, but whose minds ; will for a time be befuddled and confused, and who will need a follow | ing who knoW’ what America ought to do.
