Everybody is reading in the news papers and hearing over the radio the terrible story of the greatest war in all history. It hfn’t touched us in America yet, but the fear that it will come to us, £ me time, in some way, is beginning to spread. It would be silly for any /'-' v r- ican to shut his eyes to that n^s- sibility. Nobody, generally sp ing, wants this country to r to war. Neither did the people of Holland, of Finland, of Belgiu 1 or of Norway want to go to war. tThe war came to them. They ha. no choice but to fight or surre: Jer. The war may come to us. if it does, we shall have to make the same choice. It is nonsense, as 1 see it, to say ence won that concession for the defeated foe. Their intentions were noble, but they put too much faith in the honor of Germany. CHRISTIANITY American Senator Vandenberg of Michigan expressed the feelings of most Americans the other day when he referred to the war against “Anti- Christ.” The spirit of America is essentially Christian, in the sense that our national guidance for a century and a half has been the fundamental essence of religion as expressed in the Golden Rule. The spirit of the German leader ship today is definitely and openly anti-Christian. It is not bouna by nor does it recognize any of the moral principles which are in grained in the American character, and expressed in our laws and the conduct of our public officials. There are exceptions, too many of them, to that broad generaliza tion about ourselves as a people and a nation, but on the whole it is true. Nothing arouses American public indignation so much as flagrant violations of the Chris tian spirit. Isn’t that so? DANGER within I do not believe that America is in any immediate danger of at tack from a foreign enemy. But I am reminded of the words of an old hymn in which protection was sought “from foes within and foes without.” There is more danger from “foes within” today than from foes without. The record of the successful invasion of small nations by Germany is one of treachery in which peoples of those nations served as spies to prepare the way for the enemy. “A man’s foes shall be those of his own household,” said Jesus. There has been plenty of evidence brought forth, by the Dies Com mittee and other investigators, that enemies of the American sys tem of government are at work in our midst.
