STRIKE UP THE BAND
COLLEGE EDITORS and, in fact, all
°the' s w:m have an inch or two of white
space in which to pi mt what they say, love
to hold forth on war It is a good subject•
It is vital, it is Intel eating, and the editor is
liable to think it is easy
The conclusion to such an editorial has
been easy. We don't want win.
Now that conclusion is due foi a change.
Not long from now it will be a re-phrasing
of the one 25 years ago that worked so
well. We've got to make the world sate for
democracy.
Because our American democracy has be
come a government of some of the people,
by some of the people, for some of the peo
ple, we will get into this war and we as col
lege students will get the living hell knock - -
c I out of us so the world can he made safe
rot that kind of democracy
The American people have elinquished
their hold on government and President
Roosevelt, to be a good American politician,
has had to be a realist When a power ful
group of American democrats face him
with cold dollars and cents facts, he will
take us into war because—like all men who
have been president in time of war—he is
not strong enough to keep us out
Like the doomed man who asks the firing
squad to aim carefully, Amencan youth
must make a request of its President:
Prepare us well. Strike up the band
Ixt us thin], we are really saving Amer
ica
Let us think we are i eally fighting for
ideals that are workable and worthwhile
Let us think we ale saving some happi
ness for whom we love at home
Let us think—as ow enemies thplc—
lheie is no light on the other side
Let us think the men we are killing are
dirty, treacherous b .. ds
Let us think God knows we are right and
they ale wrong
Let us think there is a God.
Let us feel like heroes.
Let us die full of faith
And when we me dead (if you me to)
~ how the living we were fools, show them
the Cl uelty with which we fought and the
ci uelty for which we fought, show what
you got for What we died, show them every
thing, but never let us know.
Go 1, we're gonna get those German
