J 'tt.A.lot .Hilii'niV(f.":-J For his outstanding service in aiding young Americans to qualify as licensed radio operators, Marshall Ensor, radio "ham" and high school teacher in Olathe, Kas., has been named as winner of the William S. Paley Amateur Radio Award for 1940. Ensor, shown here with some of his pupils, was cited for "contributing most use fully to the American people in preparing men for vital communi cations posts for national defense."

On the direction that is taken hinges the fate not only of free education, but of all life's es- . . , . sential freedoms. During the year that has passed we have taken significant steps in the direction of preserving those freedoms; by the passage of the lease-lend act we have declared our solemn purpose to become the arsenal of democracy, we have pledged all our vast resources to the dpfeat of Hitlerism and the brutality and slavery for which it stands. xei we nave, as a teopie. dv no means given evidence that we are determined to make good our pledge. Perhaps the large major ity of us who desire to destroy Hitlerism are still too trusting, and at the same time too fearful. We shudder fearfully as Col. Lindbergh informs us that Hitler will surely win, that we can't pos sibly give Britain enough aid to enable her to defeat him. At the same time we smile complacently as Sen. Wheeler bellows that this country is powerful enough to lick the world, alone and unaided. The utter confusion of the pol icy the isolationists are trying to foist upon us should be evident to all: if we can't beat Hitler with one of the most powerful nations in the world as an ally (as Lind bergh declares), how can we pos sibly beat him alone, after he has defeated that powerful ally?

Honored Headlines a This willful refusal to recognize me reanues of the contemporary cri,sis is one. of the strangest de- velopments in the known history of world lt results from the fact that many American youth in their thinking get only to the place where they say: "War is terrible, we must not go to war." in so doing, they ignore the fact that for 60 centuries it has always been necessary for a people to fight occasionally for self -preser- vofi And the malady of disjointed and confused thinking goes even wrwr Wanv ctnPTita havo a vague and shallow knowledge of the First World War and have come to the conclusions that to fight for free instiutions is utter foolishness. They ignore the fact that the liberty they have has come be cause men for seven centuries have been willing not only to live for it, but to die for it. Most thinking people are willing to fight if necessary to preserve the liberties that have been won. That those liberties are now threatened is evident from the words of Adolf Hitler: "Two worlds are in conflict, two philos ophies of life. One of these two worlds must break asunder." All the events of the nine ter rible years of Nazi history bear out eloquently the truth of the statement. To all those who see that challenge the obvious conclu sion is that the only hope of free men is to break asunder the nazi world.
