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.

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.
