What War Means to the Bar There is no group of men and women in America cherishing a deeper love of country or more sincere devotion to its institutions than the members of the legal profession. In impressive numbers they have gone to the colors already, many at the sacri- fice of an established clientele, all at the sacrifice of priceless time in the years when a clientele is built. It has been estimated that half of all the lawyers in the United States have participated in the work of the draft. Thousands more have served their country in other capacities. This is in the tradition of the profession. Members in Armed Forces Urged to Send Addresses to Editor The officers of the Missouri Bar As- sociation are anxious to maintain com- plete records of the members of the Association, and of the Bar generally, who are on active duty as members of the armed forces. It is important that the Editor of the JOURNAL have a list of these men so that he can arrange to have them receive, without cost, the advance sheets of the Southwestern and Supreme Court reporters; and that the Treasurer have the list so that he will not mark them delinquent in their dues-the Association having ordered that dues of members serving in the armed forces be waived during the period of their service., Anyone hav- ing this information is requested to send the names and addresses to Adolph K. Schwartz, Editor-in-Chief, Missoum BAR JOURNAL, 1025 Wain- wright Building, St. Louis, Missouri. BUY UNITED STATES DEFENSE BONDS AND STAMPS The declaration of war will, of course, mean a sharp increase in the number of lawyers engaged in some activity pertinent to the prosecution of the war. It must never be forgotten, however, that there is a home front where the Bar can render an unspectacular but vitally important service to its country. So vital, indeed, is this service that failure to undertake and perform it may mean the blood, sweat and tears of our people will be found in the end to have been spent in vain. The service referred to is that of pre- serving against the shocks and disloca- tions inevitable in time of war all the essential elements and materials of our democracy and not only guarding our institutions while men are fighting for them but perfecting them for the peacetime use of a victorious America. This means that the Bar must pur- sue with redoubled energy the pro- gram already undertaken, for in the accomplishment of that program, em- bracing as it does such projects as modernizing and simplifying the ad- ministration of justice and regulating 'administrative procedure, lies at once the assurance of safety for our institu- tions during the emergency and their conversion into more stately mansions when the period of stress is ended. Never in its history was the Bar so well organized to accomplish such a task. Never was the nation's need for such work so great. May the leaders of our bar sense the opportunity and rally the profession to the discharge of this signal patriotic service!-American Law and Lawyers, Dec. 13,'1941. Volume 13 Number 1
