What Can You Say? America is at war. What can you say when you know at last your country is at war? Once, it seems many centuries ago, on a Good Friday we said: "We are waiting for the bombs to fall." We said it at the end of this ed itorial column and a lot of people were shocked right in the middle of their roseate tabernacles. ( Yesterday suddenly the bombs did fall and the good people did not laugh any more. We were at war with Japan. And that statement cut off a period of history, both world and personal, with the finality and the clarity of death. Today it began another period with the confusion and uncertainty of birth with the amorphousness and doubt involved in any beginning. We personally would like to stop there and leave it at that. We would like to stop there because we are 20 years old, because this is the first war we have any memory of which affects us personally, because when something very big happens and is all around you and inside of you there is not very much you can say, because if we did say what was inside of us, many people would laugh. Good people, . maybe. Rn what can vou sav. one fellow, one American guy up here in New Hampshire, 3000 miles from San Francisco and another 2400 miles from Pearl Harbor and still another 4750 miles from Manila? One fellow, 20 years old, trying hard to speak for 2400 other fellows, trying to fit yourself and them and every American, all 130 million f them into this too big scheme of a world war. We can say that we feel somewhat relieved. Relieved at least that we know where we are; relieved that the uncertainty of a nation half at war, half at peace, is over, relieved of the hypocrisy: "all-out aid short of war." And for us who have been trying to say something about the wait ing and the uncertainty and the bombs we felt were coming for a year, for us who have been worrying about the Wheelers and the Lindberghs and the people who listened and believed, for us there is relief of a sort, because it is no longer necessary to say those things. For us there is relief in the fulfillment of the "Why Belligerent?" series, answer to the "Open Letter to General Wood," the last word in "For the Record," the "30" symbol at the end of a story. We can also say that there's just as much uncertainty and con fusion involved in a state of war as before. Can we win this war? How? What kind of a country will we have afterwards? Will it be as unreal and unrealistic as the Twenties? Will our sons have to fight again in another 20 years? What will a nation at war be like? Will we be able to retain our essential civil liberties? And again and again and again -can we win? Because we want to win. We want to say to our friends, our brothers, in England and in Spain and in China and in France and in Russia and in Japan and in Germany and in all countries; Here we are at last, at the latest possible moment you will cay, but here we are. Here we are with you fighting the Fascists, fighting for your country and our country and for all people like us. And, finally, we can say this: We don't know when we leave col lege for the war: today, tomoirow, next week, next spring whenever it is best and proper to leave. And for that time of utmost reality we say to our enemies, to the Fascists, active and passive, in all lands You had best try your best to kill us, because whenever the time comes for us to do it, we shall certainly try to kill you, here and in all lands, at any time and by any possible means. J WD, - I By Jo and June. We're still wandering around removing fishbowls from our heads and confetti from our ears after last night's big party...

Edison's system, which is being used for the second time this year, has been worked out so that a low microphone about three feet high stands before the spot from which each soloist will sing. This mic rophone is a uni-diiectlonal instru ment which picks up sound only from the soloists' side of the foot lights. Otherwise it would re record sound issuing from the amplifier and produce an endless repeating dissonance. The speaker is placed close to the singer to avoid any noticeable difference in the time the sound issued from the soloist's mouth and from the amplifier. It is sealed in back so that all sound is trans mitted only to the audience. Sunday at the performance Edi son will be seated at controls near the stage while an assistant will sit at the back of the coliseum. By telephone connection, they can communicate and thus assure just the right volume and tonal quality to give the best effect in all parts of the building.
