Aaai' Entered at the Post Office, Cedarville, Ohio, October 31, 1887, as second class matter. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1945 NOTHING WILL HAVE BEEN SETTLED WITHOUT “TOTAL VICTORY” (JOHN S. KNIGHT in Miami, Fla., Herald) I have received a letter from a friend for whom I have the greatest respect. He is kindly, intelligent, informed, and sincers. No sentimentalist, he understands America as do few other men. Leaders o f labor, industry, politics, religion, journalism and the sciences are his intimates. The background is important only because his expres­ sed views may be indicative o f the direction in which a large segment of popular thought is running at the moment, a thoughtful, even spiritual direction, perhaps, but nevertheless dangerously demoralising in its disil­ lusionment and unreality. For example: “ We are in a frightful mess. The depth and complex­ ity of this mess is- beyond the comprehension of the average mentality—■ certainly it is beyond my own. I cany however, get a glimmer o f its aw-, fulness when I think of two symbolic extremes: “ Nineteen-year-old Johnny Smith, (actual name withheld) machine gunner missing in action in France versus the person who precipitated the strike in the plant of the Cleveland Illuminating Company because he wanted a job on the day side. And I can grasp two corollary opposites in that connection. The distracted parents of this only child versys the union leader or-political-leader who temporized, or condoned or encourag­ ed as various stages in the development of this crisis whifch almost threw •a .great American city into chaos. , “ Multiply those symbols and the conclusion is obvious that 10,000,- 000 Johnny Smiths are being made to carry a cruel and disproportinate share of the burden of war. Is it any wonder that great bitterness cn-. gulfs us; that the cry ‘And for what?’ is being hfeard'on every hand, that frustration and disillusionment corrode our spirit? Either this condition must be corrected or we many have' to make the best deal possible for a termination of ithe war far short of unconditional surrender. “ But can it be corrected in view of the deep and complex roots? As Wendell Willkie put it in 1940: ‘Can this nation after eight years of cul­ tivated disunity, fight a war?’ It still suggests one .of the basic reasons for the present .state of affairs and is typified by countless strikes on the one hand and Sewell Averys ill-mannered feuding o'n the other. ' “ Then, too, from the very beginning, the war has been presented to the.American public in.a disarming way. Mr. Roosevelt's reply to the challenge of the Luftwaffe:was ‘But we'll .build 50,000 planes.’ Nothing in that picture to suggest that the blood and lives of some 500,000 young Americans had to go along with the production of these planes. “ The big question, seems to be how we are going to get the Holly­ wood and Stork club technique out of .the Presidential-utterances, out of the OWI activities and out o f the procedures of the public relations sec­ tions o f our civil and .military divisions of government. And how would the public, long fed on such superficial froth, react to an honest and intel­ ligent program of-honesty and intelligence? And will the advertising- fraternity and the publishing fraternity abandon their habits of glamor­ izing the war, making it look easy. Is there any. way to pu the’ logic of Vandenberg to work rather than merely putting it.in The Record? “ There doesn’t appear to be any-simple answer with all our faults, I still believe we can win some kind of a victory. . But mere victory isn’t sucicient. Alone it will not keep faith with the JJohnny Smiths and their mothers and fathers. Mere victory of arms will not guarantee the better world for mankind. Unless there is something beyond-that, thp ominous­ ly prevalent question ‘And for what?' just, about answers itself. “ I am not especially religious and yet T*fimKqiyself turning to God for the answer to these terrible questions! Only His hand can change our course. Only‘His will can implant humility into the hearts of -men. Only His guidance can lead us to submerge. Factually, nearly everything that ray correspondent has to say is undeniably true. ' 1— We certainly are in a frightful mess. 2— The sacrifices and blood o f millions of young Johnny Smiths are completely disproportinate to the burdens of war ’ being carried by the home front In fact, they make our personal complaints and difficultues seem cheap, trivial and petty by comparison. 3— Our once-great national character is being slowly smothered in the weeds of irresponsibility and shallow thinking. . / - The rank uhdergijowth-of selfishness and class warfare has flourish­ ed by systematic fertilization o f un-American doctrines. A gay and airy national leadership has misled the American people into believig thant it alone could be trusted to see that “ everything comes out all right.” 4— r-We have- committed the unforgivable sin of glamorizing-war and minimizing its horrors; it has been made to seem noble and right; a fine crusade-against the.forces o f evil just as war has been, justified by mas­ ter propagandists throughout the ages. 5— We are sick to death of silly censorship that has no connection with military security and which seals up the truth in an imprenetrable tomb. We are nauseated by the thought our patriotism must be aroused by a gallery of Hollywood legs: That the sale of war bonds has to be promoted by cheap jack medicine show methods. We are fed up to the neck on superficiality, boastfulness and wisecracking. Our country cries for a rebirth of spiritual values. With this diagnosis of our national ailments, I am in complete agree­ ment with my correspondent, He has placed his 'finger on many tender spots. But when he Says: “ Either this condition must be corrected or we may have to make the best deal possible for a termination of the war, far short o f unconditional surrender,” I am shocked at his disclosure of resignation and unreality. IS THIS ANY TIME TO TOSS IN THE TOWEL? . Is this the moment to temporize with our enemies; to admit that we lack the fortitude and the strengh to destroy utterly their nests of war; to stoj short of “ total victory?" No, indeed: We owe far too much to thosb who have already given their lives in the hope that out of this hor­ rible conflict will come the basis for a permanent and lasting peace, Distracted as we are by.the inequalities and disproportinate sacri­ fices that are visible to every eye, it is all important that we devote every single ounce of our individual energy to -winning the this war at the ear­ liest possible moment. For the time being, nothing-elsc matters: Without “ total” victory,- nothing will have been settled, and once again the peoples o f the earth are consigned to utter darkness, Imperfect as we are, there is hope a- heatl so long as discouragement and disillusion are never permitted to snuff out the flickering lamps o f trust and faith in God, •To build a bet­ ter world, it is first necessary to demonstrate that the civilized forces of the nation and the world are willing to follow •His leadership. And jf he fails to do these things it will be because we do not deserve such help,” • Once “ total” victory has been achieved our statesmanship will be put to its true and perhaps finn), test, It is the prayer o f every peace-loving man and women the world over that out of victory will emerge the form and substance of international co-operation and amity.. To argue that it cannot be done is to admit that a civilized world no longer exists; that we have reverted to animalistic' and caveman instincts; that, in short, there is no hope. But victory must come first; victory over our enemies, victory over our disillusionment, our prejudices, our intororance, our hates; victory over all our individual and national weaknesses. There can be no com­ promise short o f unconditional surrender. Such a craven course would plunge the entire civilized workd into a moral, cultural and spiritual blackout, rivaling the dark ages, It would mean the end o f -Amcricn ns a great nation. That is why I am, so disturbed over one small paragraph in my friend's letter, - C ap it btt possible that many others are sharing his views? iswusMiiiimmwwwwHiiimiwmmiimwHuiiiniiiiiiiimii < o h e H O P P ER - •bii - DublinBrarr *" ” ate News from “ Dog Town" 'continues to keep the. spotlight. Last Sunday night Walter Winchell, the bed-room key-hole informant let out a story of the expected blessed event in the El­ liott Roosevelt home. In as much as the marriage only took place a few months ago, may puzzle some moth ers but not the medicos. There may be speculation about the first, but af­ ter that nature seems, to regulate the time. It will take more than a White House denial to stop tongues from wagging. Dogs, dog marriages, and babies are the New Deal topics of dis­ cussion everywhere. lio sought a dairy feed frowf Iowa bankers that would nourish crack-pot- .ideas and then it was the lot o f the bankers in time to become publishers of a farm paper, or loose a vast sum of money . Strange no one seems to have delved into the famous judgment against the Wallace interests out in I Indiana. This was the record o f an­ other pne hundred percent flop. The CIO has taken up the Wallace fight- to insure *his confirmation by the Senate. Roosevelt has said Wallace would not go hungry so that means he has to be parked somewhere on the backs of the taxpayers. • Begin to save your gasoline. With FDR riding half way round the earth for the Big Three conference, it takes a lot of gas—from the army and also from civilians. Now we hear that '•Gadabout Mamma” is going to Paris soon to look after international af­ fairs and this will take, a lot of gas­ oline. Several other delegations are using American gasoline to tour the old world regardless ‘of the-war needs. FDR and Churchill have had a con- flab- between the two before meeting Joseph Stalin, the little man but how mighty. Joe does little talking, only to inform the other two what he will have- for his share of the war/prize. When he speaks the other two become speechless. We hope FDR docs not loose Iris shirt on this trip. The one on the’ Pacific brought ‘Fala’ into the limelight as the “ lost or forgotten „dog. We have been told the Atlantic Charter is missing and no one now can tell following a previous ‘Big 3’ conference. It makes no difference whether the story of several boat loads of lend lease from Seattle to an unknown destination is true or not. No one seems to care to deny that Japan got the le.nd-lease urnl Russia got a great .quantity of crude rubber. We smile when we think of the suc­ cess Wallace admits has been his i. nfe. Southern Democrats have n, right to uphold Wallace to publn scorn as a complete failure. There it another* story. It is the story thai “ water never rises higher than its source. Think who named Wallace, the successful for the Commerce seat. The difference between the two fam­ ily heads was this. Henry Wallace has been riding on the reputation of his father long since passed on. FDR won fame on -the popularity of, Teddy Roosevelt, a cousin who had been a success in public and private life. The heads of the families' differed again on important matters. The Wallace family fortune was left free without strings attached. Probably the pa­ rent, did what he would not have done had he known the results. James Roosevelt was/one of the long-headed Easterners that massed a fortune in the .coal business. If he had lived to this day the CIO would brand him a “ coal baron” . However the ‘baron’ bud ideas of perpetuating his estate rather than risk what Father Wallace Jailed to see. in his dream o f the fu­ ture. The coal baron put his estate '.'in trust for life. Little did' even the baron” dream . that his country would at some time be plastered with a three hundred billion debt.. And when the boys come home from war .fronts you won’t hear much from the nations “ most successful business" executives, something neither would ■deny today or tomorrow. A soldier of today says he did not get excited when he read about Col. James-Roosevelt stopping a train out in Chicago.. Gur friend says he was m two different trains at two differ­ ent times when his trains were side-' '. racked to let the "Roosevelt Special” to .Hyde-Park go by'. But then time .vas no object ’to the service-men. •Kings, their families, their dogs and their horses come first anytime in any country. Both houses of Congress gets up in .ho air over the confirmation o f ‘ Hen’ Wallace to a cabinet seat. No one but Roosevelt himself, knew better what would happen when- the Wallace ap­ pointment was made. The southern delegation would fight him just, as was-dorfc at the Chicago convention.
