THE GUNS FELL 8ILENT
Hy The Hkippter
Do you romcinbor buck lit lbis when
at tho elovonth hour of the eleventh
day of the eleventh month tho thunder
of g-una along the western front fell J
Hilton It marked the end of thOj
World War.
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

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

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.
