Lom “Paine y saws Tbe wintertime soldiers as the opposite of ‘‘sunshine patriots,” those who will mouth the words of freedom and devotion to country when such rhetoric is not likely to be personally costly. Unfortunately, most Memorial Day celebrations this year will be in the hands of today’s sunshine patriots; those who will wave the fac and talk about love of country while — sacrificing nothing. If George Washington’s army had been made up of those who hid behind the flag rather than those who laid their lives personally on the line for the principles of that flag, we would all be speaking with a British accent today. And I cannot help wondering now the rhetori¢ of today’s sunshine patriots would change if the draft age were raised considerably. It is so burned their draft cards, the sunshine patriots of America pushed through an anti-draft card burning bill. Yet America has still not produced an _ anti-lynching bill. Every traditional Memorial Day celebration should be haunted by the recognition that America officially has more respect for a piece of cardboard than for human life. President Nixon has announced the formation of a blue ribbon panel of prestigious individuals to investigate recent killings on -ollege campuses. More important than investigation is a comment to the eradication of the conditions which cause student prot ~' in the first place. And one of those conditions is the continuing racism whieh produces an investigation only when white students are killed. After the slaughter of students .in Orangeburg, South Carolina, there was no national concern for investigation.
