WHAT DOES TIHUE WAR MEAN TO YOU? The second world war is a clean turning point in the destiny of the American people. More than that, the future of the race will be highly determined by its ultimate outcome. It seems to be as crucial a war as any that has occurred in all the turbulent past of mankind. There are, however, few thoughtful Americans who do not feel that this is so. But why is it so? Not many of us find it easy to answer that question with what could be called total satisfaction. Well-worn words like freedom and democ- racy, phrases like preservation of our way of life, have sparks but they hardly provide the full illumination we all crave. The reason for this fairly common mental state seems plain upon reHection. This is world war number two taking place in a highly complicated and complex world, which itself, is far from being comprehended by the general run of human beings. Our deep-going granite resolution that the war shall be won-wholly won!- is not weakened by the fact that many of us are comparatively inarticulate about it. One is always somewhat tongue-tied about things that matter deeply. Yet certainly it is more satisfying to be articulate, if it is possibleg to have a reasoned philosophy about the war, instead of what might be considered an instinctive one. Such a philosophy is at once acquired-it rounds itself out-as soon as one great simple truth about modern human society is recognized: that all the diverse peoples on this planet are now bound together, indivisibly, in an economic world- union. This is not yet a de jure, a contractual, union. But that fact does not mini- mize-on the contrary, it emphasizes-the indestructible character of the union. PREZELL R. ROBINSON, '46. 29
