Lincoln Under Fire

(London Free PM ‘rhere is something‘

Lincoln memorial Tower in Lon- don has been so damaged by Nazi bombs that it Ls In danger of col- lapse. 0r all the American 9N8!- clettr and bright in the ttigh lights or history's long perspective as opponents of tyran- y, Washington and Ltncoln. The present. courageous ‘ncumbent. of the White House has yet to be measured against the yardsttck of the years. but. he gives evidence of _ the eminence 0f these historic fgtures. Washing- ton fought Bgflrnst the tyranny of a stupta absentee landlordism- Lincoln fought. the equally short- stgnted stand of the secession lead- eis. Both achieved their purpose. The intimate relatlonsnlp he- tweeri the mind of Lincoln and the basic faiths of the English b00919 was always apparent, but has been getter-ally admitted only in com- aratlvciy recent ears. '.l‘lie St. Gaudeirs statue 0 Lincoln near Westminster Abbey and this tower in south London are evidence of this. But some of the words of Lincoln are stlll more compelling evidence. The Bible, shakespesre and Burns were almost. his only reading for a great art of his life. and it. was out of t; s incompar- able background that he conceiv- ed his Gettysburg speech. his most famous utterance. Ln that: address

we find that memorable string of thoughts-“That this nation, under

od, s l have a new birth of freedom, the people, by the people, for the peogle. shall not perish from the ear ."

It is as appropriate as anything: that. has happened tn this war that. a monument honoring the

man whose sombre, in ulrirtg mind

assembled these magn ficent lines should be torn by Nazi bombs. The 250-foot. stone tower 1s scarred by Prussian tron almost at. the mo- ment when Nazl editors tn Berlin‘ turn their venom on Mr. Roose- velt. There ls a strange coineldence of material and rhetorical assault in these events. But Lincoln rests secure in the forum of democracy and Roosevelt's voice klndles the flames of courage. Lincoln's Tower shrill be rebuilt and Roosevelt's dream shall become reality and when the arduous roads o war have been travelled men will be destined goal of
