CEHERALiIÎJTE3EST W e A re at War! By GENERAL JO H N J. PERSHING Ÿ Here’s a stirring call to arms that summons the spirit of those half-forgotten days of resolute marching men Article I I JO U R T E E N years ago an army of two million American I I citizens was gathering in France. They had left their I I I homes and families and businesses; they had traveled II I three thousand miles across submarine-infested seas; and 1 I now they were ready to lay down their lives, if need be, for their country. Millions more, in America, were pre pared to follow them and do likewise. Today the nation faces another crisis, in which the enemies allied against us are more insidious but not less dangerous. Pervasive self-seeking and corruption, which the chosen officers of the law seem powerless to suppress; the sinister growth of the underworld, whose tentacles reach out to touch us fill; the ever-increasing extravagance of government; and the mysterious paralysis of our economic system—these are the enemies which now confront us. They have been allowed to encroach upon us largely through our own carelessness and neglect of duty as citizens. battle against them the average citizen is at a disad vantage because he Is unprepared; he is willing enough, but he is bewildered. He doesn’t yet realize that he himself is primarily to bfame, he’nce he is taking no serious part in the conflict. By average citizen I mean a great many melt to whom we should look for lead- ^ lp. as wejj as the larger number z possess no qualifications for ft. In fact, too often do citizens ot all classes assume that politics, and crime, and even economics, are no business of theirs. It does not occur to them that they f * « . every one, Indl riiualiy, responalbl« ’ W hy Is It that patriotism burns so brightly In times of war, so dimly In times of peace? It Is Just as neces sary In meeting the complex obliga tions of peace, but these obligations do not stir the Imagination Uke the primitive emotions of war. The av erage citizen feels that, somehow, the problems of peace will be solved for him, and falls to realize the pos sibility that calamity may result from his own Indifference. Still Can Be Proud. We have as much reason now as we bad fourteen years ago to feel proud of our country and to love 1L We be lieve, with some Justice, that it Is the greatest republic In the history of the world. Under no flag In the world does a people enjoy more freedom or find greater happiness. We boast of public education, universal suffrage, liberty of speech and the press. We enjoy rights undreamed of in ancient Greece and Rome. Yet even with the sounder principles upon which to base the hope of permanence of our Insti tutions, we too may some day go down, as did these older republics, unless we recognize and live up to our civic ob ligations. It cannot be too strongly Impressed upon every citizen In a democracy that It Is bis duty to help— actively help— In the task of govern m ent The other day 1 was talking to a sub stantial business man from New York. We were discussing an issue of In creased taxation then up before the house of representatives. “By the way.“ 1 said, “who Is the representative from y-u“ district?” He grinned sheepishly. "I don't know,“ he said. My friend pays a goodly share of taxes to support the government and yet he doesn’t know who votes for him on the tax question. He relies on “a substitute” and doesn't even know who the substitute 1st This Is something of a retrogression from an earlier period. When our government was founded, our forefa thers did not let unknowns represent them. They made It their business to know all about the character and achievements of the men they elected to public office. Then the outstand log men In the country took part In ably write that military axiom Into Its books for the years to corns We have made two other military blunders We began by underestl mating the strength of the enemy, and progressed from that to overestimat ing It. The cry. “We are Just turning the corner,“ of 1929-30, was the equiva lent of “We will have the boys out of the trenches by Christmas" of 1914- 15. And our "This country Is going to the dogs" of 1932 It the equivalent of “The Central Powers are Invinci ble” of March, 1918. I have heard leading men, given over to fear, prate of nations’ failure, bankruptcy, and politics, and most of the high posi tions were held by them. Political leaders, then, were chosen by the vot ers. Now, through the apathy of the voters, they are often chosen by other politicians; Changing Social Life. *’**••- This change Is partly due to onr changing social life. Many of us do not even know our next-door neigh bors. But It Is a manifestation of a deeper and more sinister change— the tendency of the average citizen to let somebody else do bis thinking for him. That tendency threatens the very foundations of democracy. “Let some one else do the thinking." That easy doctrine Is Injuring ns not only In politics but In other fields. Under It crime flourishes and business languishes. Some International bankers, since the war. have been careless In lend ing other people’s money on foreign securities. Others have been charged with something worse than careless ness. But the citizens who, against sound business principles, put up the money were not without blame. In their eagerness for gain, they too oft en refused to think for themselves. They preferred to delegate that task to some one else. It was well known to all who read the newspapers that certain governments had already de faulted on debts to their own people. Greedy Investors did not balk because of that, but cheerfully put up billions to loan to states, municipalities, and Industries of those same governments This Is not an essay on economics. 1 am not an economist.

Many burned their bridges behind them. Then the advance was halted and the recession began. It cannot be said that they were to blame for that recession, for apimrently our puny hn man minds have not yet solved the riddle of the business cycle.
