The Unexpected Has Happened Secretary of State Cordell Hull addressed a joint meeting of the House and Senate recent ly and when he referred to Joseph St rim. ..as.. one of the greatest statesmen of the age the building almost shook with applause. After ten years of bitter criticism and conden nation, the red-> alters apparently have beer, blocked. Many of those who had recognized the good along -.w.jtb. th,e,bad jn .Russia never dreamed they would live long enough to hear Capitol Hill applaud Joseph Stalin. But, at last, the unex pected has happened, and it is to be sincerely hoped that we will not close our eyes and minds to the facts and discredit the good along with the bad in nations and individuals. Ten years ago when President Roosevelt rec ognized the Soviet Union, he was criticised and condemned. Since that time and up until the Moscow conference, so many “leaders” in and out of Congress have never failed to take a pot shot at Russia. Possibly if they had followed Roosevelt and reserved their roles as smart and know-all critics, this war would never have been started. And think what that would have meant in terms of life and property. But there are those who still see red when Russia is mentioned. And there are those who still think it more important to attack Roose velt and his administration than it is to win this war and protect the rights of the common man. />#*< Us Say “Thank \ on" By Ruth Taylor. Most of us were brought up in homes where the fine old custom of saying Grace prevailed and we learned to daily express our gratitude to the Giver of all Gifts. “In our home we say Grace” meant something very real and fine. Saying Grace is a custom that should be part of our lives today, for we have much for what to be thankful Although the road is rough and the toll greater than we can yet conceive, we know that victory lies ahead. What are we thankful for tins Thanksgiving Day? We are thankful that we have learned much in the two years since war came upon us. We have lost much, but we have learned what things are essential and what we can do with out. External things can never again have as vital a meaning to us. u ; ■ - rr——. TTu We are thankful that we have in the mis ery of these days learned that the ideals of which we boasted on holidays and at cam paign times are living things for which we are willing to sacrifice. We are thankful that we have learned how to spend less time thinking about what we want for ourselves, more time concentrating on our duties to others and more time enjoying those mercies we already possess. J • W i are thankful that we have learned how I lb' ceojtei ate - terti'. cur neighbors and - fecw to j put aside old differences to work with our fel- j low n<r\, ffWima in the stress of emergency that the divisions that divide us are less im portant than the things that we nave in com We are thankful that we have lear: inner satisfaction in work and sacrifice and in being on the side of justice and mercy. We are thankful that we have learned the privilege of living in the greatest hour of his tory, that we can in that hour be of service to our brothers everywhere, whatever their class, creed or color. As Chesterton so aptly said—“The way to love anything is to realize that it might be lost.” We have learned what we really love —and for that knowledge while there is yet time to keep it, we are thankful. Monarchy For Spain? Christian Science Monitor. Must it begin all over again? Tyranny in Spain, both evil and clerical, began with the_ monarchic system. The deepest excesses of dic tatorship in the ’ ears before the Spanish Re public stemmed from the monarchy That nar row clique of financiers, industrialists, land owners, generals, and churchmen who sabotag ed the republic and organized the armed revolt against it were the very pillars of the royal sys tem. Now word comes from London that the mon archy may be restored with the blessing of the United Nations. Can we not see that monarchy, of itself, is only a tool? That the powers behind the throne literally are those which count? That those powers in Spain today are the identical reactionaries who called in German and Italian troops, who called international fascism to their aid against the reforms of the common peo ple? That merely because these gentlemen are now tired of the predatory monster which they reared up, that is no sign that they have re nounced despotism? That they are merely look ing for a new monarchic cloak? That if we blindly support them now, the whole sorry cy cle will have to begin over again? The real awakening of the West to under stand the nature of fascism began with the war in Spain. A restoration, now, would reverse the gains of the war at their very foundation. “ ’Til Then Chav Lpon This” With no desire to minimize the implications of the recent Republican landslides in certain un-named states, we should like to sound a note of caution to certain New Deal baiters who place the name of Franklin D. Roosevelt at the top of their list of enemies to be defeated at whatever cost. It is quite possible that the Am erican people will still recognize Hitler and Hirohito as the nation’s No. 1 enemies to receive priority in defeat when the polling places open for business next November.—Montgomery Ad vertiser. War And The Stock Market In London as in New York, “as the war news improves the stock markets deteriorate.” And both Wall Street and Downing Street can be wrong.—Springfield Republican. we [nave mmiuclk to He ttSnannlk^ull (Fop0 ■i,\ ' KVS-.y* wcftr SA4.ERNO AiEUTIANS JOWMONS NEW-GlHNtA - vA / NOVEMBER-25-1943 Contributors To United War Fund ConifiuutiOris tu the United ’War Fund of Martin County not previous ly acknowledged, are, as follows United War Fund contributions reported in the Burroughs-Spring Hill district: Thad Newsome, Sr., $1; Joe Price, $1; Emma Coffield, $1; Louvenia Vv i j i i ci / v i -, i. /vfu’ry vVirli^r/n’o, $ l;- F.
