We have sung their praises for. years ? recited poems"-about them-m-our school days, and celebrated in more stirring ways the occasions of their births ever since. But who were our national he roes? What did they represent? The early ones, in fact, most of our great heroes, were not Americans by birth. They came from over seas?and were of all peoples and all nationalities. Early in our patriotic fervour..the heroes were allocated to various groups of new Americans?Washington to the English, Crispus Attucks to the Negroes, Lafayette to the French. Von Steuben to the- Germans, and of - course s Columbus to the Italians. The average ' American thinks of Italy as an old country, forgetting that the 1 Kingdom of Italy dates only from just before our Civih War. For centuries before that it was a motley of more or less independent states, usually ai each other's throats. The result was that they fell victim to the land grabbing tactics of the former Austrian Empire, to bfc tinited as men too often are, by a common hatred of their Germanic Overlords. Columbus: was GENOESE by birth?in the days when Genoa and Venice between them-ruled the seas, fighting each other for supremacy and making and unmaking the Emperors at Constantinople according to which city was on top. But he came to this country as a SPANIARD and he died a Spaniard. There has been too much stress f- laid on nationality of birth and not enough laid on a common ground of ideeals. Columbus is important to us not as a Genoese, or an Italian or a Spaniard, but as a man who was able to sei/.e nn idea?the belief that the earth was round, the talk of old sailors on the wharfs at Genoa who told Of seeing land where no land was; who was able to put two and two together and evolve a theory; who was willing to work to prove that theory; who kept everlasting ly at it until he could test it; who faced unknown dangers, mutiny, death itself. It doesn't matter that the world he found was not the world he expected , to find. He proved, his point?the world was : mnnd. Importance lies not in the success or failure of a plan. It is in being open minded, in having a plan which will help many people f without hurting any, and in puj ) tine tarough that plan. We have drawn from everyK where for our heroes, from men of all races, all creeds, all conditions of life. That is the sertngth t' of America. Our NEW national heroes are Americans though P their names proclaim them as dek gcendants o f every nationality, ra*e and creed. The important hj/ifr ithat, whatever the origin i?: of their immigrant ancestors, "i whether they came on the May* <?ur an immigrant er o olavo ' . Irfjpt they retain the one essential ehfr^ecteadatic which we set up as an American ideal and revere in 4 ' M^of them?cpurage to face >th? ?f*uf?know? and to carry through. .MEANTS V COMMENTS Hy William McKinlcy Rouinan MEANTS On< e wo had a talk after a fool L<all season THb Morris 1 lot-nets a<i wune. s- i a very trying sea~sun and most uf?the?train mate? -i o,;r aluahle men were walking had suffered many injuries.

HANCOCK A MORTAL WKAKNKSS : l iom all inTieations the nations s are entering the tina -phases of ^ 1 this global war. Henceforth e- 1 ! t?; 11;s?rrrr?going?to?be?more do ; c'.sive. There are reasons for be' .sieving that blood-leeting among i:e wTTTTtTTg nations?will shortly 1 i ieach proportions that will stag- ' I r i.e sen^ibijities of human 11 1 ( kind. There have been lots of v" ui>rag -and bluster and downright I uluir. The show-down is at hand! 1 As the past warfare is scanned, w<> so'ious weaknesses are mani- 4 i test. The first is, the subtile at: -empi ;o?make this a Tace war. ^ i Although the exigencies of the sit i at.on make open assertion of the -?racial nature of-much of the-^iuap?( !. aganda prohibitive, there is the . v i unuerlying notion that this a rac- " ' ial war -Oetween Japan and the ; Anglo-Saxon nations, China to the 0 i ou..aiy notwithstanding. _T h e recurring mention of an "Anglo- '' Saxon bloc" for the preservation of peugg is just another manifes- ,, > tatiou of the lacial nature of this . ' L war. There are possibilities o f A. - .tcacc-jf-a. democratic bloc is form ,,1' - od to maintain international peace t '"0 if '< eoiwoi'.od as an-Anglo t ti axon bloc, then'we are just head j'ing straight into World War III. y. ' * I 1 here is some danger that Ger1 1 mSfhy may be tolerated in the post 1 frar settlement on the very score 3 I that Germany belongs by blood to . i the Anglo-Saxon bloc. The pro- p i. : terred love for China serves to dl- pur J | vide the world of darker peoples j3ro e ' rather than as a downright appre s^a t ciation of the Chinese people. In r i other words, China is one of the ,j^v o regnai.t illustrations of the divide j - I and rule philosophy. One of the ^al a \ great weaknesses thus far reveal- ^or died in no .gurrcnt war is this ele- ^ar s I ment o;' racialism that will not tyr i. down he wever adept the attempts paj. n to camoi flagek the ugly fact. j^r The other moral weakness is . < the consistent and persistent at- ' j0l] tempts to disparage and belittle the strength of our enemies. ^eT Strangely enough t h Ls costly ^ " course has been chiefly pursued , by the Anglo-Saxon peoples. Ger- j Sg many underrated Russia and in gu; ? this she courted her own doom. an. 11* ? % j Bill Ihe United States underrated J a- em pan and her military and navel jai i rowess. The Japs were called j names. But thc-fact remains we pa, have more than real monkeys; ?ir e they are little brown men who are ty le real matches for big white men L?a d and their Xegiu comrades. . _ trj, d One o~f the"major mistakes r >r made in this war was the minimi- .pr, d zation of the task of ""'defeating if the Japs. At the rate we are now ;r going thesd same Japs are dig- ! ] ;- ging in the South Pacific and uti- ri ir listing the raw material that they the e have hitherto lacked. Once these ,ne e resources are fully utilized, we Er< ir are going to have trouble of a ma- the e jor nature. The fact that they L)u t are little brown men and so-called ;>?( i; monkeys is not nearly so impor- ih g amt as their valour and efficienty jet 5. as soldiers. It is going to take ?o ,s more than a "superiority com- ie n plex" to conquer Japan as we are dot le iear"nirt;r~by"soitttr bittor expericn- we ?- res. Our task Would have been Mr ir immeasurably simplified had we in< reckoned Japan a resourceful and >rt .angerous foe.

THE ILEAL EXPLANATION 1A T i VVTiy then 'arc these Nordic pent ( . [none to underrate tneir i enemies? This is a ..mortal weak, j it ioss and hotrts" wtlhtR-itself por-1 rtnj tents of grave consequences. The | pa< answer is indicated in the long ,uo and studied build up of the Nor- (j0 < lies. The darker peoples have Rji been disparaged and the Nordics jv0 i glorified in so many ways and so []a -I long that truth has been crushed ' ] to earth. We are told that when m0 only one side of a question is pre- js sented we have propaganda. Both r> sides must be publicised if we |as would have information. The world moves forward on the feet < of information rather than the winged cnveyance of propaganda. -1 jT lite way the darker peoples have Seen played down and the way the inc Nordics have-been played up have the Imade for a "superior feeling" that a ] afford hut small possibility in a ,te | risis. all When the souls of men are real ,nj y siilcrl "superior feelings" not lor only do not prove an advantage, out they become positively (dan- del r gerous.) The superior feeling ol ; viermany with its Nordieism con- chi . rihited to its fatal blunder ih , .iussia.
