Dim Patriotism

By Robert C. Ruark

NEW YORK, Aug. 5—A 20-year-old moving picture called “All Quiet On the Western Front,” is playing to capacity houses here—and attracting oddly enough, an overflow of youngsters who could

not have -been-born when the -picture was first -

released. Old-timers will remember that “All Quiet” was a bitter denunciation of war, from the standpoint of the people who must fight them. It traded heavily on horror and hunger, filth and fear, death and destruction. Its main argument was that no war was noble; no war solved any-

thing for anybody. This was the fashionable re-

“-gction to World War 1. What more or less amazed me was the outbreak of spontaneous cheering among the audience over a couple of lines spoken by some German soldiers who are sitting around in a behind-the-lines billet arguing over the causes of war.

War Views of a Soldier PRIVATE TJADEN is arguing the point that he and- the Kaiser could not be possibly interested in a war, since the Kaiser has everything he needs and he, Tjaden, is angry at no one. The proposition is then advanced that wars start because two countries become angry at each other, and someone remarks that he does not see how a French mountain can be sore at a German field. Someone then says that wars start because one people offends another people, and Tjaden says that in this case he is going back home, be-

‘cause nobody has offended him. He doesn’t even

know any French or English people personally. There was a roar of applause from the audience when this line was uttered. . A little later there was another burst of ap‘plause when the late Louis Wolheim, who played

the tough Sgt. Kat, said that the way to stop wars s.woulq be to herd all the elperors and. kings

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5—~The bigger the buildup I guess, the mightier the letdown, Hey, Sena-

tors? ) word went out the night before to report- )

ors, newsreelers, and teleévisioners that a mystery _witness would tell all about the Korean War. to

“"the Senate Armed Services Committee. He was

Excitement Mounis : THROUGH the night excitement mounted. There were reports that Gen. Douglas MacArthur

- had flown home to report; that President Truman,

himself, had news for the Senators. No Senator

could confirm any of the rumors because no

Benator knew the mystery man, except Chairman Millard Tydings of Maryland, and he wasn't: talking. Tension was what you might call super-sprung fn the vast, marble chamber as the appointed moment drew near. The flood lights were glaring; the red signals on the TV cameras were

ie blinking. The press tables were jammed. |

Word of the mystery man’s arrival had gone out via radio and the spectators’ seats were filled. Maury Maverick, the old New Dealer from Texas, had a seat in the ront row. John Maragon, the deep freeze man still out on appeal from his per-

jury conviction, ducked in through the double ma- -

hogany doors. At 10:46, with every eye fixed on the entrance, in walked the mystery man—big Ed Pauley, the oil magnate, who once kept Los Angeles’ streets plastered with black and yellow signs urging the * populace to buy his PDQ brand gasoline,

It is downright unpatriotic, and could be as a sign of softness with overtones of treason... It is not supposed to be cricket to disapprove of war when your young men are dying abroad. War is supposed to turn swiftly from Hell, when peace, to bright adventure, when viewed at the beginning of a war. Do you sup-| pose that any great number of our young cockerels are not actually eager to be shot at in Korea under the good housekeeping seal of the United Nations?

No Glorification WHAT ACCOUNTS for the howling success of a patched-up old film that bitterly denounces ardent patriotism in time of war? There is not one line of glorification of combat in “All Quiet.”

E OWNERSHIP

“The strongest bond of human sympathy, outside of the family relation; should be one uniting all working people, of all nations, and tongues, and kindreds. Nor should this lead to a war upon property, or the owners of property. Property is the fruit of labor; property is desirable; is a positive good in the world. That some should be rich shows that others may become rich, and hence is just encouragement to industry and enterprise. Let not him who is houseless pull down the house of another, but let him work diligently and build one for himself, thus by examply assuring that his own shall be safe from violence when built.”

—Abraham Lincoln, : March 21, 1864.
