HOUSTON, TEXAS, MAY 24, 1945
On Memorial Day this year, as we honor the heroes of all
wars this country has participated in, we are grateful that
the bloody struggle in Europe is over and that our boys are
no longer dying in that theater of war where so many lie
buried. Our county now turns its full might toward the
Pacific, and simultaneously its thoughts for an enduring
peace to the shores of that ocean where the United Nations
Peace Conference is now in progress in California.
While we as individuals in Southwestern Houston can do
little in influencing the actions of the worthy body now con-
vened in San Francisco, our overwhelming desires for peace,
multiplied a million-fold in other communities like ours in the
nation and in the world, will ultimately be the deciding factor
in whether nations go on slaughtering nations or whether the
world works out a pattern for a true and enduring peace.
This costliest of wars—costly in uoney and sacrifice on the
home front, doubly costly in lives and suffering on the battle
front—will prove nothing but a useless carnage in history
unless it leads to that enduring peace. Let us this time make
sure, in Abraham Lincoln's memorable words, "that these
dead shall not have died in vain."
