Harriman j This war is starting now into the third year, and we have been given grace enough in the United States to get the whole terrible thing in its full perspective. We know now that the world is facing revolution and that, if Germany wins, we lose piactically everything all Ameri can generations have fought for since the first Virginians stood up against the Indians. We know that our generation has been elected— we have got to fight like Wash ington's generation and like Lin coln's and President Wilson’s. 1 don’t care what the polls show and I don’t care what the isola tionists yell—I don’t care what kind of prayers weak people make to us. I have just made a month's trip aruond the United States, and I know what the plain people of | this country feel. They know that this nation is threatened, they know by instinct that there is great! danger, and they have a sort of in spired knowledge that the sands about us are slipping. People ev erywhere are realizing that unless we do a great deal more than we have done, and do it in a great hurry, that the Germans may de- feat us. It has been difficult for the Amwican public to grasp the fact that it could be possible ever for any nation anywhere to attempt to bleak the great power of the United States. We have been on top for so long, we have been so rich and secure, that we have come to take it for granted the whole world understood that America was beyond challenge. It really has not occurred to us in a hundred years that anyone should even think of defeating the | United States. For even longer than that we have been forcing with success our political and eco- ■ nomic ideas on the world. It has been almost beyond our compre hension that a nation should sud-! denly say to u- and to the rest of the world that it does not care for what we care for, and that it does not intend to put up with us or our culture. It is shocking to have some one else in the world attempt to bid for America's seat on the roost. Our mistake in this war has been that, from the start almost until this moment, we have under estimated the strength of the Ger mans. We have for too long thought of the Germans as the peo ple we defeated in 1918. What we have forgotten is that the: e Germans, although losing that war to us, have won from us the peace. Ever since this second war started, we have hoped and hoped that Maginot lines and mountains in Greece and winters in Russia would save us. What we know now is that no force is going to save us except us. We now know too that we can not allow anyone else to save us even if they could or would. Great nations cannot buy their security with gifts of guns, We know that bad as war is peace at that price is worse, Great nations that al- low other nations to fight for them always lose—great nations that try to get others to save them blood are on their way out. They are on the d owngrade like France. I am a veteran in a way of this war—I have been through a thou- sand air raids in Great Britain and I have-had time to think about the United States and our situation. I can’t imagine our standing by and letting ourselves go with only half way measures. I think the time has come when we ought to fight. I don’t want to die, but I don’t want to live in a country like France. There is still time for us to beat the Germans, but not much time. What we ought to do in this coun try, I think, is to get out the Bible and re-read the book of Jeremiah. We ought to go to Gettysburg and stand for awhiie on the hill where Lincoln made his speech. It is go- ing to take everything Russia has and everything Great Britain has and every resource we have to de- feat the fanatic German nation. o- Christian Endeavors To Meet In G. P. The annual convention of the Crater Lake Christian Endeavor Union will be held at Grants Pa-s, at the First Christian church, No vember 28, 29 and 30. Crater Lake Union is composed of Chris tian Endeavor societies of Jackson and Josephine counties, and the city of Glendale in Douglas county. A record attendance is expected at this convention, and all indi cations point toward a greater year for Christian Endeavor during 1942. Several able and interesting leaders have been secured for the convention. An invitation is extended to all young people of the Illinois Val ley who’may desire to attend this convention. Anyone wishing to at tend the entire convention may obtain lodging and breakfast by paying a registration fee of 30 cent«. This may be paid at the convention.
