explained, the simple reasons why Americans are making the great sacrifices to win the war and in our opinion he bar given the American answer to the question. "What are we fighting for?" Anybody can understand the gen eral’s explanation: Even victory la only a means to i an end. What Is that end What | aie w« fighting for? Why do we bury our sons and brothers in lonely graves far from home? For postwar uag«« or postwar profits? For bigger and better business? For softer comforts, new iceboxes, radios, cars? You know the answer. Our men are dying to preserve away of life. The little luxuries are only by-products. We are fighting for liberty the most , expensive luxury known to men. vTe tight for simple things; for the little things that are all-import- , ant We fight for the right to lock ■ <>ur house doors and be sure that no bully with official sanction wiU | break the lock.

church and ynagogue We fight for schools built on a foundation of books, not hayoneta We fight for tfle country editor and for the metropolitan dally and for the editor's right to say the wrong thing If he thinks It's right. We fight for the right to oganIM for any decent purpose; fbr labor: for employers; for the Grange and the Legton and th« Ladles' Literary Club, and for lodge meetings tn full regalia on Tuesday nights We tight for our candidate tor sheriff and for the other fellow's candidate; and tor the right to be sorry we elected him and to say so. W» fight for free radio, for the right to listen to what we want .mi to turn off what we don't want Wo light for the right to work at jobs of our own choosing; to read the books we want to read: io listen to music that pleases us. without regard to the race or nationality of the composer. We fight for the high privilege of throwing pop bottles at the umpire. For these thing*, we fight. These rights, these privileges.

thran traditions are precious enough to fight for, precious enough to die for. They are not easily won. They cannot be acquired by half measures or on half time. Dollars will not buy them. They can not be attained without sacrifice. Let me remind you that Tom Paine's words are ae true now as they were that snowy night beside tha Delaware. Paine wrote them on a drumhead with a stub of pencil. Let us write them m our hearts indelibly. I quote: "These are the times that try men's souls The sumnu r soldier and the »unshfne patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stand* it now. deserves the Jove and thanks of man and woman Tyranny, liko hell, is not easily
