tor (Wheeler, of Montana) were
denied that privilege, which pos- j
sibly explains why they feel differ
ently than the veterans do about
this country’s most pressing prob
lems.”
A ‘Humble Citiaen’
Sergeant York added that “(here
are those in our country today who
ask me and other veterans who
fought in World War I: ‘What did
it get you?’ Let me answer now.
It got me twenty-three years of
living in America where a humble
citizen from the mountains of
Tennessee can stand on the same
platform with the President of the
United States. It got me 23 years
of living in a counry where the
Goddess of Liberty is printed on
men’s hearts, and not only on the
coins in their pockets.
“By our victory in the last war,
we won a lease on liberty, not a
deed to it. Now after twenty-three
years, Adolf Hitler tells us that
lease»is expiring. After the man*
ner of all leases, I have the privi
lege of fighting to renew it, or
letting it go by default.
“May God help us to be equal
to the task! I»»
Recently the New York Herald
Tribune observed in an editorial
that the national leaders of such
groups as the Fight for Freedom
Committee had often seen active
service on the Western Front,
while many of the leaders in the
isolationist-pacifist camp "for var.
ious reasons” had not served In
the armed services of the United
States in 1917-18.

Happy Bia«ay •«
Sam, and MANA -
THEM! Only 165 years old th.s
Friday, yet you have lasted long
beyond the majority of govern
ments who started their political
life with you.
We usually observe your birth
day with festivities, joy, and
much assurance of a long life
and prosperity. will
On this birthday, there be
much festivity, but a sober note,
and prayerful attitude pervades
our feeling, and a higher appre
eiation what our lArcle Sam means
to us.
There is even a sense of appre
hension.
For the existence of our
Sam, the liberties which we have
enjoyed under his flag, and the
rights of life, liberty, and the
“ being
p rsujt of happiness, is
threatened.
But America and Uncle Sam
stands noble on the horizon of
the wor i d , a nd on this birthday
we shal , {ee i confident that not

God Bless America! Our own

We hear a lot about White
Russia these days. The question
in many people’s minds, is, why
“white?”
To set your mind clear, this
has reference to the fact that
these people—at least at one
time—had as the national dress,

that White Russia is a republic
