we lqdinccyoaf .SEQQQLJ MacARTHUR and HIS MEN WHERE IS BATAAN? ATAAN is in the heart of every American, in the heart of every liberty-loving man and woman, boy and girl, in the wide world. It is part of the geography of human hope. WHAT IS BATAAN? It is no mere place-name. Bataan is a shrine hallowed by the blood of common men, white and brown, black and yellow, unafraid to die for freedom. Bataan is sacred, for here died the men whose courage, whose devotion to an ideal, will serve us as a beacon light in the dark days ahead. WHO IS MacARTHUR? The C.-in-C. in the Pacific, MacArthur, is all of us. MacArthur is the general in command and the man in the ranks, he is the man at the lathe and the man at the loom, the man in the pulpit and the man at the plow. He is you in America and your brother in the subject countries. He is the Dutchman and the Dane, the Slav and the Slovak, the Belgian, the French- man, the Briton, the Norwegian. He is Man against the Axis. WHAT IS MacARTHUR'? MacArthur is the flame of faith that blazes at the tip of Freedom's torch. He is the spirit of a nation. He is American. WHO ARE HIS MEN? We are all his men. From the greatest to the least we are his men. So long as we love liberty and seek truth, whether in Bataan. or Boston, he will know that we are his men. He must know that he can count on us. WHAT SHOULD WE DO ABOUT IT? Tell Hitler and Mussolini and the Japs. Tell them in the only language all three are able to comprehend. Tell them in tanks and planes and ships and guns. Tell them in deeds. WHAT CAN WE DO ABOUT IT? We can do whatever is required of us, do it better than we have ever done it before. No matter how humble or prosaic, we can do it for him. What does it matter who flies the bomber as long as we can give him bombers to fly? Who cares what man drives the tank as long as we turn out tanks and train drivers? If we can forget self and serve country, if we can forego profit and foster patriotism, if we can praise the Lord and pass the ammunition MacArthur may yet be proud of us. EDGAR J. MONGAN
