A Woman's Part
We, the women, will not have to fight this war
on land, in the air or on the sea. But we will have
to fight the war in other ways. Women will have
to be morale-builders of the nation. Women will
have to be the ones who keep up the nation's spirit
while men are busy with other things. When we
speak of morale-building we mean something in
tangiblesomething difficult to define. It means
cheerfulness; it means keeping our heads; it means
that certain thing that carries us thru all crises.
When a child is very ill, it is the child's mother
who soothes his pains, plumps his pillows
straightens his sheets, rubs his back, holds him in
ber arms, gives him a constantly reassuring smile
and watches him thru the crisis of his illness. When
a nation is ill with war, it is the woman who must
soothe the fighter's worried mind. It is the woman
who must give him a constantly reassuring smile
and see him thru the crisis.
This is the woman's chief part in the war. Of
course she must do the practical things, too. She
must drive ambulances, knit, work in factories,
nurse, work for the Red Cross and for the govern
ment, and act as hostess and entertainer in camps.
She must do many things, but, first of all, she
must remember that she is the nation's best morale
builder. "This great, free, united land of ours has now
got to behave as if it were grown up, or very shortly
it may be neither free, nor united. This America,
which all men have been accustomed to think of a
still very young and often despised for its bump
tiousness and exuberance, stands today where only
grown men can stand, the only unthreatened cham
pion of a very ancient civilization. Over the world
men turn their eyes to America and will turn them
as toward an older brother who has stood secure
amid the storm, whose steadfastness men are al
ready saying may well remain man's only hope of a
better world." Prof. Robert D. French of Yale uni
versity urges America to assume her full adult posi
tion in the world.-ACP.
Behind the News

Manchuria in 19.il and pointed out that
everyone came "without warning."
Apology for Lack of Information.
Mr. Koosevelt apologized for the lack oi
any complete and precise information regard
ing the damages to Pearl Harbor and the war
in general, but pledged to the people of the U. S.
that all information would be given to it under
these two conditions. (1.) the information
must be official and confirmed, and (2.) only
if its immediate release will not prove valuable,
directly or indirectly, to the enemy. This is
only fair.
In regard to this I recall the comment of
Edward K. Murrow, noted American radio
commentator in London, speaking at a banquet
in his honor in New York a few days ago. He
was expressing his preference of British cen
sorship to no censorship at all because he did
not want the responsibility on his shoulders
for the loss of a ship and crew, or a regiment
of brave men which might have resulted from
his unwittingly important remarks had they
not been subject to censorship.
Keep this in mind when you have a ten
dency to gripe about the lack of information
on the progress of the war. Just remember that
facts will not be withheld just because of fear
of their psychological effect upon us.
U. S. Is Prepared.
While emphasizing the fact that this will
not be a short war, the nation's leader went
on to point out that the U. S. has had 18 months
in which to prepare industry for this, and that
neither the American forces or her allies will
want for supplies with which to wage a suc
cessful war against the treacherous forces
unleashed against the world.
This war, he said is not for conquest nor
vengance, raher it is a war to make the world
safe for our children to live in. We must not
speak of making sacrifices, for it is not a
sacrifice to us to give our best to our nation
when it is fighting for its life, the president
said.
The president made no plea for national
unity, he knew that it was not necessary, for
the nation is united as ever before. He only
said that disunity is past and he hoped, for
gotten. As he was speaking an all out land, sea
and air attack upon the Philippines was in
progress. What its result will be we cannot say,
and M-e can only hope. All we can be sure of in
the end, the story will be entirely different,
and the axis thoroughly whipped.
