MORALE ON HOME FRONT
VITAL
The whole Idea of morale on the
home front, which In turn vitally
affects morale on the fighting
fronts, is intertwined with the pur-
poses for which men and women
work and men fight, and, no doubt,
not all persons are equally stimu-
lated to exertion in the war effort
by the same motives. The some was
true in the last war, but due to the
eloquence and personality of
Woodrow Wilson, of whom a na-
tionally known editor of that day
said, "measured by his capacity to
sway audiences, Woodrow Wilson
was the greatest orator of his time,"
the country responded quickly and
eagerly to such slogans as "Work
or Fight," "Make the World Safe
for Democracy,” "Pood Will Win
the War—Don’t Waste It,” and
numerous other phrases, each and
all carefully calculated to stir one
section or another or all groups
Into fervent action to help win
the war.
Many who lived through World
V’JCjt^.wia agrek th£t fn this war
i sueft crui
as in the last war—no thrill that
rich and poor alike are all united
to make this world a better place
in which to live, not merely for the
few but? for everybody.
There are several reasons which
come to mind as to why there are
these differences in the attitudes
of the people between the two wars.
Following World War I, the coun-
try had a painful letdown and dis-
illusionment—the hoped-for Utopia
did not arrive, but In its stead hu-
man frailties stalked the corridors
of the world as of yore and men
and women still had the dally grind
to face, though not all of them
seemed to realize how vastly hard-
er that daily grind would have been
had the Allies lost the war and
the arrogance of German rule been
directing affairs.
This may have made the people
of today more sophisticated and,
therefore, less responsive to the
crusading spirit. Also, in this war,
to a far veater degree than in
World War I, ideological considera-
tions are mingled with nationalistic
motives. Hie Four Freedoms and
the Atlantic Charter, of course,
stir men's emotions, but after all
they are of necessity generaliza-
tions and their application to con-
crete cases may cause honest dif-
ferences of opinion In the postwar
era.

By Mrs. A. S. Jones

and they hold that this would
check inflation, or at least go a
long way toward doing so. Just
what is so terrible about people
saving money Is not made clear by
those columnists of the daily press
who advocate governmental ab-
sorption of all savings.
But the stark fact remains that
there Is a world war being fought
and people must consider what it
would mean were the Axis powers
to win this war. Facing that issue
frankly and squarely answers all
the inconveniences and sacrifices
persons at home and abroad are
undergoing. True, there should be
an effort made by government and
citizens alike to bring about equal-
ity of sacrifice as nearly as is hu-
manly possible. When we consider
the hardships And dangers which
our Armed, Forces constantly face,
the Inconveniences on the home
front appear petty In contrast and
should spur us, one and all, to do
our utmost to win the war and the
peace to follow.—Scottish Rite.

Every American fighting man has a dream. A dream
of a day to come—of the day when the war is won.
When he can return to home and family and friends,
once again to live in the ways of peace. We at home
can help his dream come true sooner—by doing
the little things asked of us to speed Victory. We
can buy bonds, and more bonds, and keep them,
and keep on doing it—till the boys come home.
