LTN36-1tc COLONEL A. A. SPRAGUE'S MEMORIAL DAY SPEECH Continued from page 19 and of effort was in vain because the world's ideals were not changed im- mediately. Some had an idea that the good results of such a war would be immediate. They would come without effort. One of the great faults of our age is that too many people get too much too easily. Somebody pays for progress. Somebody pays for accom- plishment. Men and women by their efforts se- cure results in times of peace just as our brave comrades who gave their lives assured it in times of war. A few men gathered in great palaces, in France, by sheer diplomacy, careful manoeuver- ing and shrewd bargaining could not wrest out of the chaos of war a pro- gram that would assure the peace of the world and the forward progress of human history along finer and nobler lines. My friends, to think so is basically wrong. The great results that may come from this war are not going to be results that can be obtained by the soli- tary efforts of a few individuals, no mat- etr how great their authority may be, nor how outstanding their individual or diplomatic connections. Abraham Lin- coln, our great President, understood that. He knew that the government and civilization advanced by the will of the people and that back of that will of the people there must be a concensus of per- sonal effort and the development and improvemenit of the individuals who go to make up that government. Need Honesty, Fair Play Just as after the Civil War, the real unity of this nation was produced not solely by an act of congress nor by the machinery of organized government but by the gradual understanding 'and co- operation of the peoples of the north and the south, so the results of this great war are gradually going to come in proportion as there is developed in the life of the nations who compose the civilized world a greater spirit of under- standing and a fairer sense of justice, a gradual removal of race hatreds and a disposition to see the futility. of in- trigue and the hopefulness of honesty and fair play. The aftermath of war, like war itself, is a period of confusion and reconstruc- tion. In it there is mingled much that is .good and much that is evil. Against the background of the horrors of war, some people erect a memorial of hatred and of gloom. I do not think that the men who deliberately and willingly sac- rificed their lives in war were deceived when they thought that the gift of their lives was an investment that would pay dividends in the future. I would rather trust their hope than I would the de- spair of those who sacrificed little. I would rather share their expectations than to share the dejection of those who saw only the breaking down of civiliza- tion. Whether their investment will be real and worthy will depend not upon what they gave but upon what we do. 'It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us-- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion--that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain--that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom--and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth. : I have among my own friends, and I count them the best friends I have in the world, many men who have been disabled by this war so that they never will have again the full control of their physical powers and many of them will live with minds broken in the service. I have seen these men come out of hos- pitals handicapped physically and men- tally and take their places in life again, many of them with an expectancy and a hopefulness that is not only assuring as to their future but as to the future of this nation. Spirit of Service They feel that there is something for them to do in their community life, in their national life that they left unfin- ished at the close of the war, although God knows they gave so much more than most of us. They are going to do more than merely earn a living, hard as that will be for some of them. They are going to live and to put into life the spirit of service. They are going to look upon their citizenship with a sense of responsibility and they are go- ing to know that the life of this country will be no finer and no better than they help to make it. If these men can do that, if they can get back into society with hopeful hearts, to play their part in remaking the na- tion and remaking the world, how much more should we, who have strong bodies and trained minds and unusual oppor- tunities, dedicate ours to the unfinished task which these men have left us by their devotion and by their sacrifice."
