ABSTRACT

War in the atomic age is more dreadful than ever before in history. Europe's neutralists and anti-anticommunists are libelously mistaken when they suspect America of abandoning democracy and moving toward fascism. Moral sloth is hardly an auspicious atmosphere for effective anticommunism. If America ever minimizes its anti-Hitler war, it minimizes one of the wisest and most decent acts in its history. In 1945 General Patton forced undemocratic Germans to see with their own eyes the skeletons in a local concentration camp. Today democratic but forgetful Americans ought to force themselves to think again of these skeletons of fascism. In the very thick of their anticommunist struggle, this world-wide conscience should make most Americans pause soberly and reflect a minute on every April 30. The pause makes recall that America's enemy is still fascism, the same old fascism, even though this time concealed under democratic-progressive patter.
