DANIELS ~ In the Lion's Den
Tomorrow is the thirtieth anniversary of the declaration of
peace in the modern world. During that 30 years since the close
of World War 1, we have engaged in a second world war, the vio
lence of which has driven the first almost into the shadows of ob
livion.
Today as we prepare the speeches, polish the medals of our
heroes, and dust the plaques, the monuments, the memorials dedi
cated to our war dead, as we ready for this celebration of the an
niversary of peace, there are wars going on in all parts of the globe.
Tomorrow even as we phrase the time-worn sentences which
we repeat annually for the glorification of our war heroes, men will
be falling in new battles. It is even possible that some of those
men will be American soldiers, for there are “incidents” occurring
with monotonous regularity, which take the lives of our young men.
And tomorrow even as we glorify the ideal of peace, we will be
secretly turning our thoughts to new wars, to new methods of tak
ing the lives of others, to new instruments of modern warfare.
Tomorrow as we go through the rituals which the day re
quires of us, we will have forgotten the very need for peace. We
no longer desire peace. Our thoughts, our efforts, the best of our
men, our minds, and material, are directed toward war.
We no longer have need ol an Armistice Day on our calendar.
We should strike it off and discard it, toss it away on our ashheaps
of yesterday as a sentimental relic of another age. We have no
right to remember Armistice Day tomorrow, for we have no armis
tice in our hearts.
We have no right to repeat the meaningless ritual we dedicate
to our dead, for those men died for their belief in a world ready
lor peace and a brotherhood of men.
We have broken faith with those men. As long as green, fear,
hatred and envy live in our hearts, our bond with them is gone.
They died believing in a new and better world; they left to us the
task of bringing it into being.
Because we have broken faith with them, tomorrow is mean
ingless and empty. This day, which should bring joy, peace and
comfort to us, is only another Thursday in the year’s procession of
days. We have no right to make it more, for we have done nothing
to make this day different from any other.
