+i*v*M*m ** * I INO TIMErOUT>QR~ELECTI~ON #> Democracy at Home The other day in one of the papers there was a letter which struck! me so forcibly that I could not see anything1 on the page but one paragraph. Dr. Embree of the Julius Rosenwald Fund had written: "It is fine we are insisting on equality and decency in human relations in Germany. But does America regard democracy as only an export commodity? Is it too precious to use at home?" Is Democracy only for export? Is it only something we preach to others, not & thing- in which we believe enough to practise it in our daily life? We say we believe in equality of opportunity. We say we believe in fair and equal treatment for all. We say Americans are Americans first, regardless of their country of origin, their religious faith,or their previous condition of servitude — that as long as they are true to America they are our brothers. But is this merely lip service? Those who bewail imperialism, and forget the man in the next block; those who spend their sympathy on famine-ridden India and overlook the needs of our own starving; those who talk about the tyrannies of intolerant Europe and then blackball a neighbor because he doesn't go to the same church—are all false friends of Democracy. They are doing a disservice to America. When we do not do our duty toward our fellow citizens, we are exporting all our Democracy. We say that universal brotherhood is the democratic ideal toward which we are striving. Yet, if we follow purely egotistic and materialistic aims, we are sure to be disappointed. If we ignore the good of our neighbor, we shall cheat ourselves as well. If we put economic above spiritual values, we destroy the thing that made us great as a nation. Edwin 3VTarkhar»\. thsfc. great poet whojoved America,and airfts'people,' wrote, nearly'half a century ago: "By the divine paradox, wherever there is one slave, there are two. So in the wonderful reciprocities of being, we can never reach the higher levels until all our fellows ascend with us. There is no true liberty for the individual except as he finds it in the liberty of all. There is no true security for the individual except as he finds it in the security of all." No, Democracy is not just an export commodity. We will prove to the world that it is the vital force in our lives, that we are our brothers' keepers at home as well as abroad. They Gave Their Todays "They gave their todays that our tomorrows might be saved." All over the world, on land and seas and in the air, the best of youth have been and are fighting and^ dying for America. These are not just armed men, professionals, whose life is in the fight. These are our boys, the lad down the street, the youths from the campus, from the farm, from the factory. They have given their promising futures, their plans", their hopes, their dreams, their lives that our tomorrows might be saved. That life might go on for those at home. On Armistice Day, wo do honor to those who have fought. We paiise a moment in reverent memory of those who have gone beyond. But this is'not enough. In their names, we must—we, who do'not die, we who are safe at home—live gloriously for America and for the ideals for which they fought. In their names—culled from all nationalities, all colors, all creeds—we must so build for the future that here in America there is fair play for all; equal opportunities for work and education; protection, not coddling of the weak, refcspect, not censure, for the strong-; a sincere desire to let each man be himself. In their names, we must make sure that the tomorrows of the children of today are free from the threat of war. We must be willing to seek, for all the peoples of all the earth, irrespective of class, creed or color—justice, not vengeance; fair play, not special privilege; friendline!ss, not, mistrust; awareness of our brothers' needs, not a pressing of our own advantage. Theirs was the sacrifice. Our is the duty to see to it that this sacrifice shall not be in vain—that America lives up to its highest ideals, that the democratic way of life continues to give opportunity and freedom to all, that our- tomorrows be so lived that they are worthy of the sacrifice.

For on Monday, Nov. 20, the Sixth War Loan Drive gets under way for an intensive four week campaign, and every man, woman and child who enjoys the heritage of freedom owes a debt to those soldiers, sailor's and marines—a debt that can best be paid with whole-hearted co-operation at home. Money is useless, unless it can get for us the things we want to have. And for those who have a son or brother, husband or father in service there is nothing they want more than to have them come safely home again. Each war bond purchased gives them just a little better chance of survival. Knowing this, is there any person who can afford to ignore the appeal to buy bonds, and then more bonds? Although the European phase of the war is in the final stages, the battles will be grim and bloody, and many American soldiers are going to die before the fighting' ends. The cm-tailing of spending here at home in order to buy an extra bond looks pretty small next to the sacrifice of those men. And the war bonds bought now. may help to purchase clothing to protect others against the cold bite of winter, or buy urgently needed medical supplies to save the life of another soldier. A great many folks have forgotten that the war actually started with the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. And now that the war news looks bright, they are foi'getting that the war with Japan is still a long way from the end. Now as never before, is the time to remember Pearl Harbor, with the disastrous attack there. And now, as never before, it is time to think of iust how much it is going to cost to complete the task of retribution there. The European war is expensive, but almost everything in the Pacific war will cost more. And that is just getting fully underway. Freight transportation costs alone will be about 25 per cent more. In addition it will take about twice as many cargo ships in the Pacific to support a task force of given size. More of everything will be needed—more planes, more tanks, more supply ships, more gasoline, and more of the supplies that go in fighting a progressive war. For the men there will be added cost of care with more battalion aid stations, more clearing stations, j more evacuation hospitals, more { hospital ships, and more of every | kind of medical care that it will take to bring our men home alive arid well. The national goal in this sixth drive has been set at 14 billion dollars. And there are just four weeks in which to get it done. Now is the time we must renew our energy, jack up our morale, and keep on fighting this war with every dollar we can command. There isn't one minute to lose, for every delay now in sending our supplies out, in helping to pay for more supplies will he counted in the lives of our men. May we never be guilty of depriving them of life because of our unwillingness to help at home. Officially our war bond drive, our renewed pledge of faith, starts next Monday.

Turkeys for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's dinners have already been shipped to most distant points for the armed forces. It will be hoped that all the servicemen will have this customary reminder of the familiar feasts. It will go quite a distance to console these men for whatever discomfort and- trials they have to met, to sit dawn to a regular holiday feasts, with just about the same good eats they had at home. It will bring back the memory of many such jolly dinners in past years. We can go without the holiday bird at home, if that is necessary to give it to the boys.

Democracy at Home
The other day in one of the papers there was a letter which
struck! me so forcibly that I could not see anything1 on the
page but one paragraph. Dr. Embree of the Julius Rosenwald
Fund had written: "It is fine we are insisting on equality and
decency in human relations in Germany. But does America
regard democracy as only an export commodity? Is it too
precious to use at home?"
Is Democracy only for export? Is it only something we
preach to others, not & thing- in which we believe enough to
practise it in our daily life?
We say we believe in equality of opportunity. We say we
believe in fair and equal treatment for all. We say Americans
are Americans first, regardless of their country of origin,
their religious faith,or their previous condition of servitude
— that as long as they are true to America they are our
brothers. But is this merely lip service?
Those who bewail imperialism, and forget the man in the
next block; those who spend their sympathy on famine-ridden India and overlook the needs of our own starving; those
who talk about the tyrannies of intolerant Europe and then
blackball a neighbor because he doesn't go to the same
church—are all false friends of Democracy. They are doing a
disservice to America. When we do not do our duty toward
our fellow citizens, we are exporting all our Democracy.
We say that universal brotherhood is the democratic ideal
toward which we are striving. Yet, if we follow purely egotistic and materialistic aims, we are sure to be disappointed.
If we ignore the good of our neighbor, we shall cheat ourselves as well. If we put economic above spiritual values, we

They Gave Their Todays
"They gave their todays that our tomorrows might be

All over the world, on land and seas and in the air, the
best of youth have been and are fighting and^ dying for
America. These are not just armed men, professionals, whose
life is in the fight. These are our boys, the lad down the
street, the youths from the campus, from the farm, from the

On Armistice Day, wo do honor to those who have fought.
