IT SEEMS TO ME By Dewey Eight years ago, yesterday, I was sitting in my livingroom, reading. While the radio was go ing, I paid no particular atten tion to the program, until all of a sudden, about 10:15, the pro gram was interrupted, to bring a new-flash that Japan had a few’ moments before, struck at the stronghold of Pearl Harbor. The first flash left me rather stunned. Like all complacent Americans at that time, I firmly believed that it was Germany, rather than Japan, who had hit the blow. As the day wore on. cont rols Harbor account of the darage —of the tn achery of the dc- st ruction, and such. l still iras incapable of believing the had done it on their own tion still man led and inspired.

Eight years later, this week if you please, the world is in about the same turmoil except Eu- ropt is not in a shooting war. The picture is almost identical - with Russia sitting in about the same position as Germanx did in those daxs.

Pearl Harbor should be a sym bol for Americans if should de fine the course we in this coun try must follow. In previous wars other nations have borne the brunt until we could get into action. There are no such na tions left today. We stand alone and we are naked in our alone ness. While our congress debates on defense questions, many Amer- icants are getting rich selling our secrets to Russia. Top gov ernment officials are accused and no denial has been made. It must be true, or at least a por tion of it that we are inviting Russia to make this sneak at- tack, at their convenience. Pearl Harbor day should be remembered by Americans as a a day of shame. It should be the lesson for all of us to con. sider when trying to judge by standards of Christianity. We know that we are incapable of doing such an act and we want to believe the same of others. Such, I firmly believe, is the most foolish act we are committing.
