The early chill of winter creeps over the world. : In France, the suffering to come was presaged last week by a coal ration limiting families as large as nine persons: to 430 pounds for an entire mc:.th. Not only cold, but hunger ~and malnutrition and resultant disease, must be the ordeal for millions in a score of nations. No American family, not even the humblest and poorest, need look forward in dread of starvation and exposure. Rearmament costs may thin out the luxuries in American life; but our sick will be cared for, our destitute fed and clothed. In Europe, governmental changes are being made monthly by ruthless decree at the point of the sword—with victors hunting down minorities like animals, with freedom of thought and speech and political action abrogated and sneered at. <r ‘ In America, 50,000,000 citizens have just completed a major decision on government—divided so evenly in opinion that the minority is hardly 5,000,000 fewer than the majorify. But no blood has flowed. The ranks of citizenry have closed up to march on united—the minority accepting the decisign with good will, because no man in consequence of hiv stand is affronted or silenced. or penalized, or forced to abandon his convictions on right and truth. In the bombed ruins of-Europe’s: glorious cities, built by the toil and genius of cénturies, young men die in uniforms and children huddle terrified in air raid shelters. _ In the new, modern cities of youthful America, young men strive’ lustily in-football suits, and carefree children play joyously in the bright sunlight of school yards. Many among us have ‘worries and unhappiness—business troubles, unemployment, illness, and plain tough luck. But unfortunate indeed must be the American who, contrast‘ing the situation of himself, his family and his country with the grief and horror and privation beyond the seas, cannot give spontaneous and heartfelt thanks on Thanksgiving Day of, 1940.—Contributed. © ok . : The Crusade Goes On! -!. Enough time has passed now since the presidential election So that témpers have cooled somewhat, bitterness’ has faded—and the good sportsmanship of the American people is starting to assert itself. In any crisis which may confront the nation, Président ‘Roosevelt willi:have the wholehearted, unselfish support of those who worked the hardest to defeat him. at is the way of America—and it is a good way, the very éssence of American democracy. Unity is now the keynote. And the American people, facing a need for united action to speed the national defense program, will move forward together. Any European war lord who thinks differently had better check, up on,,American ghistory. eee There is a‘ distinction here,, however, with avery — real difference. Unity, in the United States of America, does not mean servility, nor subservience. In Nazi Germany, after Hitler came to power, ‘‘unity’’ was achieved by méans of sending dissenters to concentration camps, or standing them up before firing squads. But in this country, fortunately, we recognize that a militant, organized minority is the best possible guarantee that the majority party will stay. within bounds and keep faith with the people. : This election, as presidential elections go, was a hotlycontested, close race. Wendell Willkie polled the greatest vote -ever recorded a Republican candidate for president in the history of the country. He acquired stature as a great crusader and a determined leader. And a switch of only about a million votes:from the Roosevelt column to Willkie in key states would have made. Willkie president. Some 22,000,000 voters swore allegiance to the principles of Willkie’s crusade—and _ chanted “We Want Willkie’ even in face of defeat. Wendell Willkie has announced that he will continue to crusade for the principles he and his followers believe in; he has also announced he will work for ‘‘the unity of our people in the completion of our defense program, in sending aid to Britain and in removing class antagonisms in America.”’ And that is probably the finest service he could render both his country and President Roosevelt. He is a worthy antagonist. And so long as he continues his crusade both the 26,000,000 _who voted fér Roosévelt and the 22,000,000 who voted for Willkie, will be fairly well assured of a square deal in the halls of government.—Contributed. . pa INDUST RIALI.
