Show AS I SEE IT If there is any oiv thing Unit gives me a puin in tlie neck-a-, mimg other places it is that oft- repeated and ulways-silly qu &tion "When is the war going to end?" It is Just as foolish to ask it of Pre.s ldent Roo.se veil. Winston Churchhill, General Eisenhower, or AdolJi Hilter as it is to ask ii of nie. They'd all have to guess and my guess might be the best of the lot. God alone knows when it will end. and He Isn't issuing any bulletins. bul-letins. Instead of askin.; this question, all ol us should foe much better off if we stopped even thinking about when the war will end and do a little more to make it end. That's the only way that tlw victorious victor-ious conclusion, which we know will coiiV- eventually, can be hastened a single minute. A hard day's work every day on war projuction, if you are engaged in that kind of an occupation-straii'.ht thinking and high morale if you are only indirectly in-directly Iconuected 'with the war effort will do more good than ah" the Idle simulation In the world. Trying; to figure out when the war will end is a good d?Ml like to figure ut when t team is going go-ing to score some runs in a baseball base-ball game. It all depends on too Is going to score in the first or many imponderable factors. You can't tell whether th? tetter team1 the ninth or in any or nil of the j other innings. All you can be sure! of Ls that In the long run the bet-1 ter team beuts the poorer one. It' could be In this war us in baseball that udver.se breaks in luck will delay victory until long after It, overwi.se might have been achieved' And luck do;sn't ulways care whom it favors ut the moment, though it usually evens tip over the long haul. Personally. I tlilnk we're good and lucky to KNOW that we're going to WIN th) war some day Kluther its this time next week or tills time next decade. That ought to be inspiraton enough to make everyone do his best to hasten the end. The Olfic? Boy |
