Show I We're Se Slue War for Sot EDITORIALS By C. N. LUND Now Its War toe t Hilt For the Duration Its Not to Our Liking But Destiny Wills It We taka the following from Destiny Magazine and we testify that it ij as true as truth can be. Read and ponder "With the beginning of the Russian-German war there came a breathing spell for the Anglo-Sixon peoples. That period is soon to end, however, and what the American people must be prepared to face in the immediate future is disastrous military reverses which will completely nullify the program of assistance to those nations now fighting Hitler. This is known from the prophetic word. The final fin-al and irrevocable decisions that will be made shorrtly will completely stun the Allies and precipitate an all-out conflict, con-flict, involving this entire man power and resources of the United States. It is the height of folly for the citizens o1 this country to continue to hide their heads in the shiftingsands of wist ful thinking, for we are definitely in the war for its duration.. dura-tion.. ..Unless we are willing to immediately surrender unconditionally un-conditionally to the Axis powers, ineluding Japan, there is no turning back. ...We are at war and a war which will not end untd we either gain a d cisive victory or capitnlate to the enemy. Our enemies in this war are forces of evil wilhin and witnout. While we face the Axis powers and their Allies from without, yet evon more disquieting to our hope of peace are the forces of disruption within forces for-ces which arc poised to strike when such a move will be to their advantage as the international situation grows moie acute. The present conflict into which we have been preeipita-ted preeipita-ted will test our national unity as no cris in the past has tested it .".The very existeneeof this nation as a free and independent country is at stake. This is so because the foe within is undertaking to capitalize upon our being involved in-volved in the world conflict to gain control over and dom inate our entire domestic life Dark days and troublous times are ahead, the full r a'ization of which will soon dawn on our people." |
