Phe Seattle Star per mohth: 3 mor year, $6.00, in Outside the at | months, or $8.00 , ide per week Ny carrier, city On the Issue of Americanism There Can Be No Compromise Welcome Yet to Come! Home again! Battle-searred, but ious, the men of the 361st are back in their home town— and Seattle is on tiptoe to do them honor. Hats off to them as they march. They saw their duty —and they did it well. Seattle’s welcome to the boys today comes from the deep fount of tears where joy and grief abide—that fount from which genuine love springs. From the depths of pe Cota, our hands reach out to them. The tingle of joyous glad- ness is upon us today. And what of the morrow? The banners will fade. The shouting will end. The plaud- its will be no more. Yet, if our emotion passes with the outward signs, we shall have failed. In a few days the men we see today tramping their con- quering way thru __ thick- banked lanes of enthusiastic people, will be out of the army and back to civilian status. THEN WILL COME THE TEST OF OUR WELCOME! Two short years ago many of these men were boys, stu- dents, clerks, office boys, some of , too, purposeless youths about town. Look at them today — bronzed, hardy men, a moving picture of health and valor. Resolute and __ intelligent young men they are. hey have earned—and they must get — deserving and honest recognition. There is something else we owe them besides a big slurge of color and the waving of flags. We owe them, first of all, an opportunity to make their individual careers a success. They should have their old jobs back—and they should ave them at the right pay. Material things, these? Yes, but mighty important. It has remained for individ- ual employers to uphold the proper dignity of these men who are marching home to say that this war has not been fought in vain, and that the might of their ideals shall vindicate the might of their arms. Congress has treated them niggardly. The legislature of the State of Washington has treated them shabbily — dis- gracefully. But the citizens—the every- day Americans—must do bet- ter—and are going to do bet- ter. These men fought for lofty ideals. They carry their heads ‘high. Their eyes are lifted to the visions of heights that lie ahead. What other city could welcome them back to such abounding beauty of spring- time? It is a land of hope and beauty. Nor shall THEIR hopes be seorned, THEIR _ idealism shattered. We, the citizens of Seattle, are on trial. We are still to show whether our welcome of today is meaningful or mean- ingless. victor- a €&R éy SLA ve EN EIEN Sr CIE T EW ET \ GREET HIM THIS WAY WANT ROAD AT LESTER Gone, the gray of winter, Past, the day of yearning, Daffodila are waving.
