EDITORIAL The world, today, is plunged into an abyss of turmoil and devastation, another in the series of “World Wars . Again despotism is on the march in Europe, swinging its bloody scythe from north to south, east to west. We, in America, alone, have been spared our freedom and sanity. But we, too, are lying in constant fear of being drawn over the edge. In an effort to display our strength and unity to foreign powers, we overexert our patriotic emotionalism. It is not so much a question of whether we exhibit a little or a great deal of patriotism. The real question is whether or not it is really there. Do we all, in our hearts, still cherish this, our native land? Do we still believe in the American Dream? Or have we lost faith in all this? Every American citizen, who still believes thus, who really wants to be a patriot, who desires to show his love of country should simply do his best in his own task, whether he be an industrialist, a statesman, or an ordinary man in the street. Unity in deed and thought will present to the eyes of the aggressors a true patriotism, a true wall of defense, and will impede any undermining forces, which may have already begun, from gaining further impetus.
