Let no one give the first place in his thoughts to an after the-war future or after-the-war reconstruction until he is absolutely assured that he is doing his part in during the war service to insure the existence of an after-the-war civilization to exploit or rebuild. Our immediate and all-obscuring national aim is victory, and no man with talents to assist in its consummation can be absolved from the duty of direct...
