None of "Threshold's" other articles reaches the standard of Professor Laski's contribution. Next in rank stands Joseph P. Lash's "When Johnny Comes Marching Home," as estimate of the role of this war's veterans in future national politics. Lash concludes that soldiers' ideas are basically reflections of those of the nation as a whole, and that the only permanent influence of military service will be stronger attitudes of cooperation and respect for other peoples and races. Neither of these attitudes, however, belongs exclusively either to New Dealers or Old Guardsmen, and forecasting concrete political beliefs...
...midst. There are in America hundreds of thousands of aliens of German origin, whose loyalty to our cause is intense and unequivocal. Many of them have better reason to loathe the Nazis and their criminal accomplices than our most patriotic citizens can ever know. They have felt the lash of the Gestapo and the agonies of the concentration camp; they have been despoiled of loved ones, possessions, home, country and citizenship.

At worst, the British would be routed, hurled out of Alexandria and Suez, and the Allies driven from the whole Mediterranean theater...
Every Indian who languishes in a British jail, who screams under a British lash, who dies before a British gun, will become a symbol of despair for millions of the colored peoples of the earth. These silent and waiting multitudes will conclude, wrongly no doubt but nonetheless irrevocably, that Western white men offer them only fair words and foul deeds, that the darker peoples have no stake in a war between rival oppressors, and that Axis arrogance may be more tolerable than democratic hypocrisy...
