T HE sense of national unity is a natural accompaniment of patriotic zeal in wartime. Slogans of solidarity are freighted with ethical valuations reflecting the social ideals of the people. In America these ideals have a deep rootage in the past. They constitute what has been called the American creed and make up the ethical voice of the Nation in its heroic moments. Religious sanctions are readily marshaled to support the ideals of national unity. After the storm of battle the democratic dream tends to fade in the light of common day, leaving the people without great dramatic national objectives, and revealing the conflicts of social purpose in the social will. The great need of the Nation is to affirm a unity of democratic values which will canalize the social energy in constructive procedures and which will resolve group conflict and overcome group prejudice
