DE H JIJE... Spring has come again to Chicago, with bright sunlight to drive away the bleak clouds that have engulfed the city for months. And this gay foretaste of the weather to come has drawn me down to the lake shore. Being here recalls the good times the three of us shared just a few short months ago, before my brother died so far from home on that little Pacific island. Perhaps it is strange that I write of his death so calmly, but somehow here on this lonely strand he seems to live again as l hear his laughter of days gone by echoed and re-echoed on the incoming tide. l know that as long as the cause for which he gave his life continues to triumph, he will never truly die. And what a challenge the world offers to the youth that must keep that cause alive! You and millions of others like you are meeting a big part of that chal- lenge today on the world's battlefields. But a mightier foe is yet to be en- countered, a foe that lives as hatred in the hearts of the conquered. There will need to be a mental disarmament, as well as a military truce before there can be a real peace. The Four Horsemen have ridden over the world in the path of the conqueror, bringing bloodshed and famine and death. There has been such slaughter of men as the civilized world has never known before. Old people and little chil- dren go hungry and homeless, since the hands that would have toiled willingly for them have lost their strength. These are the beaten people with whom we must deal. But worse than the smoking ruins and broken bodies of defeated nations and people is the burning resentment that rankles within the hearts of proud men and women. They were misled by their own leaders, in whom they trusted: they were given promises which they now know were empty when they were made. They gave all they had to serve the country which they be- lieved was right and now find it was in vain. They have only their suffering to live with. The real tragedy of war is the tragedy of the human spirit. A battle- field can be turned to producing fruitful crops in a year or two. Ruined cities can be rebuilt. But how can we restore trust and love and faith and hope? To answer this question is the challenge to the youth of all victorious nations. And it must be answered now! Even now the pounding surf seems to be shouting a message to anyone who will listen. lt is a message of a new, clean, strong life that lies ahead of the world because men are fighting and dying and living to make it that way. Sincerely, lane. eeLOlS RAZEE.
