Official Paper for Morrow County
On to Victory
INDIGNATION and sorrow are the
first impulses from the news of
the treacherous bombing of Oahu
last Sunday. There followed a grim
determination that possibility of such
an act in future would be removed
from the world, as reflected in the
" speed of the president and the con
gress in declaring war upon the un
lawful offenders.
Boys from Morrow county were
known to have been in the attacked
area, others here had relatives or
friends in the stricken area, from
none of whom has word so far been
received. Closing of communication
facilities to- all but official sources
a necessity in the crisis may mean
weeks of gruelling anxiety before
any certainty as to their fate can
be determined. The beautiful isles
of the Pacific are now fraught with
danger.
It is heartening to know that all
countries of this western hemisphere-
or all not under the black
guard's heel have rushed to uphold
Uncle Sam at this juncture, for it
gives the lie to Japanese diplomacy
which has held the Japanese capa
ble of maintaining a supremacy in
Asia comparable to that which the
United States has maintained in the
Americas. Now Uncle Sam is sur
rounded by friendly neighbors, while

the Nipponese on every hand have
every neighbor country as a bel
ligerent. In this, it seems, is suffi
cient proof of the force of peaceful,
neighborly democracy.
It is also heartening to know that
all factions within the bounds of this
country were immediately welded
into a unified army ready to do the
every command of the commander-in-chief.
It signifies that the war
will be prosecuted without stint to
the bitter end; bitter, though it can
have but one end, the upholding of
the principles of right and justice, a
thoroughgoing overhaul of dictator
ship and gangsterism.
There is work to be done now in
Morrow county. Already we have
the organization for selling defense
bonds (now they must be victory
bonds), for providing food for free
dom, for building up the home de
fense. Already the command has
come for all airplane observers and
wardens to be on the alert. Steps
were taken Monday evening to get
this part of the vital defense pro
gram under way, for in sparsely set
tled country as we are, we might
well be in the route of enemy planes
should they attempt to attack vital
military points farther inland. These
organizations are now in hand, but
the organization is not enough. It is
going to take dollars, food, keen eyes
and ready hands from every one to
save the lives of more men in the
service and civilians in combat
zones.
America is now awake, and its
strong girth will avail in no uncer
tain terms; speed of the girding will
determine how soon the end may
come.
