No. 8 NEW YORK and JERSEY CITY, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1944 VOL. ХП What We Can Do TO SPEAK AT U.NA JUBILEE CONCERT IN CARNEGIE HALL
"The folks back here in the United States don't seem to realize there's a war on!" How many times have you read that statement in the paper—the words of some returning serviceman ? How often have you heard that per sonally from the lips of some boy who has come back from a battle- front? We quite understand the thoughts of the wounded lad who fought it : out with the Japs in New Guinea, or the Germans on the bloody beaches of Salerno. He comes home from slimy foxhole life, from the sight of constant horror, from the battlefield where wounded men died in agony, and he sees us here, secure, well- fed, and warmly housed. He hears us grouse about not being able to get enough gasoline, and he com pares our troubles with the awfulness he has seen. No, he doesn't reason it out that we don't mean to grouse about these little things, and that the folks back j 'home are willing to do everything PROF. CLARENCE A.
