Utnt Monday, hero In Camden, in every City, town and hamlet In this great nation, even In war straffed! England, In Canada, Australia and I many other nations tt was Armistice Day. Everywhere the duy was mark ed with appropriate exercises In loving and reverent memory of the millions who fell before that eleventh hour. It was Indeed the eloventh hour Franco had been "hied white" and could not have carried on much longer. Germany was on the brink of revolution. Only that stout hearted .British soldiery and tho unexhausted might of America were still standing firm when tho hour struck. Thorn, was something suggestive about that last hour, ft was as though an unseen, an unheard warning was being sounded that lime Is not llmi'.e.J, that western civilization had n<>'. squandered quite all of Its resources! that one last hour romulned to prove thnt. It could profit hy experience and savo Its soul Today wo realize that the chance offered by that last hour was muffed. Statesmanship fumbled when fighting men turned tho job of world affairs over to them. For twenty-two years the statesmen carried the ball but nary a gkln. And today, western civilization again sects the bands of tho ??????PMWIHBgB 1 'I M clock on the wall of time pointing to that eleventh hour. To us, who passed through the I hectic and nervo wracking world war ' period, today It la as If time had not moved, that all of the Intervening 22 yearn wuh Just a fe^erlfh ilream. For again, the fighting men have the ball, panned back to fhem by the atateamon who tried to carry It but made no gain. And agaliNfhu.clock hands near the eleventh hour. It was meet and right that t^ie^ Camden American Legion Poat, as well us Legion Posts all over our nation, should pay homage to the men who died In the other world war. to remember thorn with love and witli tenderness. They did a hue- Job. They were responsible for that respite at the eleventh hour, a rosplte which should have permitted a rebuilding. They taught us the lesson and It was not their fault that the world refused to learn. And even tho it new generation now marches in the ranks that knew the undaunted tread of those hoys of the other war, it Is fitting that we of today turn our thoughts to yesterday's dead ami turn again to those deathless words of Abraham Lincoln, the most solemn memorial over pronouncod over the graves of our soldier dead: "....That wo here highly rosolvo that these dead shall not have died in vain; that this nation, under Ood7 shall have a now birth of froodbfn, and that governmont of tho people, by the people, and for tho people, shall not perish from tho earth." Why Mr. Roosevelt ohose to brush tradition aside and Hook n third term Is hard to fathom. Other Pi'<*sldents havo boon glad to welcome the close of their second term hi order that they might have tho rest, retirement and seclusion denied them during eight long nnd arduous years. Why Mr. Roosevelt should aspire to four more years of back-breaking responsibility when the door was open for a graceful exit is one of those questions for which nobody has a ready answer. With economic problems of the same nature and magnitude as for the past eight years, and the country facing a war for which It Is not at all prepared. tho next four years constitute a task to daunt the hardiest. The American spirit plus a disposition to drop bygones and differences and all pull together is about the only thing that will save the country and put It ???

Chester Reporter. THI GREEN LIGHT JtaoiaMtnr Room wit hit told Intimate* that one of hi* primary objectives la the next four year* would be toward restoring unity In the rank* of organised labor, which has waged a heated Interuiceue war fur the past five year*. ' A long atop toward that achievement, we feel, wan the automatic elimination of John I* l^ewle front the lalx>r picture. The big CIO chieftan made a flying leap at what lie thought was a Republican bandwagon, and thereby coimultted political suicide, or ho It would seem. Much of the bickering that hue hampered the nation's industrial productivity lias eprung fixnu the beefing of Mr. I^ewls, who tried to rule the oouutry. Now tiiat ho la out of the way, the road to labor harmony Boeme much more passable, While that would be a very durable goal, we feel that It Is no more Important than harmony In another sphere. Mr. Itoosevelt could make a lot of frlouds and a lasting contribution to national recovery if he made an honest effort at this time toward creating harmony with business and Industry, Many of the millions of persons who voted against the administration did so out of an honest conviction that the New Deal Is the enemy of business. Certainly nobody made much of an effort to counteract that Impression In the course of the campaign. We boUovo that a primary objective of any successful administration now must bo In the direction of co-operating with both labor and industry. Certainly that is the most promising course of action In the defense pro! gram, which Is largely dependent on | Industry and business. Let the administration show clearly that It Is the friend of both labor and business and it need have no fears about national unity. Business has showed unmistakably since the defense program got under way that It Is eager to co-operate. A green light from the White House is all that is needed.?Greenville Observer.
