Official Paper for Morrow County
The War is On
UE are already in a shooting war.
That, in so many words, was the
message of President Roosevelt to
the nation on Navy Day.
The president's acknowledgement
of the fact was news, though the fact
itself has been evident to students
of the situation since report of at
tacks on American vessels and other
reports of American vessels firing
,upon submarines.
It is not now to question how we
got into this war, or the right of
anyone to get us into it. We are, as
the president says, in it even to the
shooting.
On top of the president's an
nouncement of our participation in
the shooting comes his further rev
elation of an organized plot by Hit
ler for future invasion of South Am
erica. The president did not re
veal the source of his information,
but he declared that it was abso
lutely reliable.
Actually this plan, too is not news,
but it emphasizes the importance of
the shooting war in which we are
now engaged. It is but another part
of the premise for the course that
has been followed in prosecution of
the war, namely, that it is better to
help those now doing the fighting
against Hitler than it is to wait un
til they are whipped then have to
do all the fighting ourselves.
That is why the United States is
now engaged in building a huge
two-ocean navy, and it is the reason
Navy Secretary Knox is emphasiz
ing the importance of building up
the navy personnel to keep pace
with the launching of new ships.
There is no desire to see American
seamen go to the firing line. But
they are there, already. It is for
everyone now to see that they do
not fail. To do this, their numbers
must be strengthened, and the home
forces must provide the food, cloth
ing and equipment vital to the war's
prosecution.

Defending Our Nation

Washington, D. C Ameri
ca is straining every nerve
and muscle of its production
capacity to become strong
enough to defend and pre
serve its way of life and
identity as a nation.
Men and women are at
work to make America physi
cally and materially power
ful, and this concerted effort
is the wonder, admiration and
hope of all liberty-loving peo
ple everywhere.
There are many problems
involved in this Defense pro
gram, and we want to em
phasize one especially, be
cause it will bridge the gap
between victory and defeat.
Thl.i vital factor is our ap
preciation of individual res
ponsibility. We are a great nation, won
derfully blest, with an in
spiring past and ideal oppor
tunities for future service for
humanity. But so many of us
in our human way have ta
ken for granted our blessings
as a people.
Eacli of us must realize
that the individual and all
he is and all he has belong
to America. Should America
go, we all. and all that we
have and stand fur, must go.
If we are unable to march
and fight, we must find our
place where what we can do
will contribute to national
needs.
How can you help your
Country in the existing great
emergency? No doubt, vast
numbers of good Americans
are asking this question to
day. The Government, fortun
ately, provides us witli the
