Those who are not supporting
the war, of course, are impeding
it. The man who fails to support
the war, may cheat in food or gas
rationing, he may go on strike

or war supporting industries, or
fhe may try with might and main
to keep his sons out of the armed
forces, or, if of military age, attempt to shirk service in fuiform.
The slackers and the_ shirkers
make a considerable proportion of
the population, it is true, but if
mo more than one sixth or one
seventh of the population belongs
‘in that catagory, the other 110,$00,000 million are singularly
united. In fact no such degree of
unanimity has been attained for
many a long year, and we believe
the country is more harmonius in
fighting this war than it has been
in any of its past wars.
‘We think that if there are today 20,000,000 slackers and shirkers, when the life and the future
othis country is at stake, is just
20,000,000 too many, but having

shrinking from the rugged test of
war for more than half a century,
one comes to the conclusion that
the percentages of strikers, as
compared with those who do not
strike in vital industries, the percentage of civilians who refuse to
sacrifice one iota of their comfort
while our boys are enduring awful hardships on the battle fronts,
and the percentage of citizens who
refuse to do their part on the home
front, is unusually small.
