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."

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?
The fallacy of this position is
fast becoming evident to the gen
eral public; yet, strange to say,

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.
