‘Second Verse-
Same as (he First'
This week’s "war talk,” set off bv the business down
in Korea, lias been like an old and somber refrain, done over
again with a few variations.
For those of us who have adult or near-adult memo-
ries, it till sounded very much like what we heard in the
years 19.39-40 and most of 1941.
This week the prevailing wise-i--------
crack of World War Two veter- ,, , . ......
tire I S. to step in and stop
this newest move of the Red
force.
The hitch was that all of us—
ms has been, “They’ll have to
come after me this time." They
didn’t think this up by them-
selves—the World War One boys
beat them to it, just before
World War Two.
We still have with us the
mes who read the lines "it'll all
blow over" and "It’s all propa-
ganda.”
Only one tiling lias changed
and that is this: That there is
now a widespread acceptance of
he fact that the time to stop a
i war is when the first steps lo-
.vard it are made, not the last
mes. We have teamed tlie hard
vay that dictator countries are
lot "appeased."
Most of us were willing for
me included — didn't want the
stopping to be done with any of
die boys we know'
