now to render a distinct service by
encouraging young men whr get in
the toils of the law," he said. “We
should lend a helping hand and try
to encourage boys who get in trouble,
for just a word may work wonders
in reclaiming a boy and making out
of him a good citizen.”
The speaker said that there is a
big opportunity in maintaining a
moral standard for Teen-age boys
and girls and a problem which can
not wait until the war is won. 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.
