Newspapers
scream   of  thei
war in Europe,
but  there   is   a
war on the home
front — right
here in America.  It  doesn't
make front page
copy because it's
less spectacular.
It is ironic that
we know  more of the misery in
Europe than of the misery at home.
Our war is a war against poverty, a war to emancipate the third
of  our  population living on  substandard levels. A loan to aid the
victims of military aggression unquestionably is meritorious. But
how about money to aid the victims
of poverty in our own back yard?
■    We must not, in the hysteria of
sensational events abroad, lose sight
of the less spectacular problems at
home. Poverty and insecurity are
powerful enemies — more potent in
the long run than the greatest military  machine.  If  we  can  abolish
economic misery, we have built the
first line of defense in our country.
