ministfzation Ir is a strange and disturbing world out upon which we look today. It seems ful of un-understandable contradictions. lvlechanical invention has brought the nations of the earth into closer association with each other. Topeka, Tokyo, and Paris are no further apart in respect to time required to reach the one traveling from the other than were New York City and Boston a short time ago. We in America hear the pronouncements of European rulers simultaneously with those in the conference chamber with those rulers. The Atlantic and Pacific are but lakes. But with all of this intimacy of contact the peoples of the earth and their nations are perhaps more inimical to each other than at any other time in history. That same mechanical invention has been the means whereby the peoples of the earth have for the first time in history mastered the productive processes to the point where we are capable of producing plenty of the necessities of life for all and many of the luxuries too. But with this productive ability on the increase there has also increased the extent of human poverty. Some have Fmt enough because there is too much. ln an age of universal enlightenment poverty and hatreds have increased. l'itzpatrick, a cartoonist, has well described this enigma of our times when he pictured facing each other across a chasm marked chaos a cliff labeled social progress and the wall of a huge factory upon which was written mechanical progress. On the cliff one could discern iuan scarcely different from the barbarian stirring his meal cooking over a tire. From the stacks of the factory came billows of smoke. To many it will appear that, to use the words of Dr. H. E. Barnes, the Historian, we are living in a twentieth century machine agel' but in a social system characteristic of the horse-and-buggy'' era gone by. It would appear that the greatest pi'obletu which civilization faces today is to bridge that gulf between our modern age and an antequated social system. 'lio quote Professor Edward G. Olsen of Colgate University our thinking is usually forward-looking in the areas ol physical science dealing with inventions, machines, and technological processes of all kinds. Our thinking is usually back- ward-looking in areas of social science dealing with matters of government, econ- omic attitudes, and social institutions of all kindsf' We must contimie to be forward-looking in the area of mechanical progress and must become forward-looking in the area of social progress. We must bridge this gap, and bridge it quickly, between our productive equipment on rhe one hand and our social equipment upon the other. Unless we do this and do it quickly our civilization will perish in the chaos of war, revolutions, and the hatreds which cause them and a1'e engendered by them. ln the words of H. G. Wells civilization is a race between education and catastrophe. We must win this race. lr is our most pressing common task. D. G. MciG.Vuu.i'.
