One other great serv.ee of the country press in tiie ream of morale was the part it has played in putting this nation in a "fighting mood. Back in the days when we were still calling them "defense bonds," certain government officials also some big c.ty columnists and commentators began accusing the American people of being too complacent about the war Thereupon a weekly newspaper down m Florida printed an editorial which was at once a reply to that accusation and a trumpet call to action.

And it was during that period, when the morale of the selectees, inadequately equipped, not yet adjusted to the change from civilian to military life and not having the incentive of the existence of a "state of war" to make real tlie necessity for training, might ejstly have slipped to a dangerously low level.
