he Letter From Home
o o o
A. Memorial Day message to those Ameri
cans who sometimes ask themselves: "Are
we fighting each other or the Axis?"
THE eva of Memorial Day somewhere on an American
bcrttlefrontl ' " .
: An American boy and a letter from home. It sure is good to -getmcdL
v- '
I wonder if Mom and Helen and Jack really know what it's like
for those who are doincr me fighting' . '
the constant alert;
the nearness of death; V "
. and those moments when fear creeps in fear which can be
fought off only by reminding" yourself of everything that's at stake,
and of thst terror, the nameless terror that would' sweep the world
If by chance we should lose this war. - r-- 7- -;;f--;vv ,.
He begins to read the letter. And at first it rambles on, -as good,
homey letters always do, . through the little events of the week back
In Americar-his brother's marks iV school, a movie, a promotion: for
Dad at the f actory. . - - .
' But ' what's this? "People are . complaining ' about the , gasoline
shortage. Meat is being rationed, and there is not always as much
as some are used to having." ' s ,
War Is tough on civilians, he muses. But someone ought to ex
plain to them how many gallons of gas it takes to push a tank ten
miles through Jungle. Someone ought to point out that, if mere is not
enough meat at the front yes, and an excess to allow for submarine
and bombing losses our army or our allies just won't have enough
to keep them going. ' .V '
There's talk about the Peace. And there are those who say we
mustn't let ourselves be carried off our feet with a lot of idealistia
words , on World Cooperation; They say we ought to stick to our
knitting when Hitter and the Japs are lickedV .
Is mis the old isolationist gang in there punching again?' Haven't
they got the idea yet that Memorial Day itself stands for all the wars
we have had to' fight just because there was no way to keep inter
national bullies under control? Have they forgotten the hell that Dad
had to go through in France In 1917 lust because somebody killed
a duke in the Balkans? Haven't they learned yet that even Man
churia and Ethiopia are on every Main Street In the United States
when it comes to deciding war or peace for us? Must kids like me go ,
to war every twenty-five years hist becaus of fhojt who would
rather not "take a risk" lor peace? ,c
. . ' - ... ' . '
"rood prices are going up," the letter goes on. The farmers .
say that Congress" should permit higher prices for wheat and hogs. 7
Labor is grumbling about the cost of living; business men about taxes.
Congress is on the rampage, sniping, criticizing, playing politics as
usual a tightening up of partylines in preparation for next year's -elections
J '.
' Hcreen't. me so folks, back home learned the facts of life? Con
flict strife, dissension! Between nations, it means war, and stinking
death in fox-holes. Within a nation. It means disunity, weakness,
and the discord that gets decent men fighting each other Instead of
the enemy.
Farmers against labor, whites against blacks, motorists against
ration boards, labor against management! This is the sort of thing
flie enemy; himself Is trying to stir up. And in every speech that
smacks of selfish sectionalism, in every yelp of special Interests, In
the repetition of every sneaking lie of the Axis rumor-mongerS to
stir up racial and. religious bigotry in all these the Nazis and the
Japs have allies in our midst ?
Don't people know that it was fust this sort of Nazi-concocted
propaganda first a fantastic campaign of lies against one religious
group then against every other group that enabled Hitler to rabble
rouse his way to power? '
Someone, somehow, must warn America in time." ,;
He turns the page.
