Might GENERATION we, if all this continues, not fall into a. 'I'his writing might have heen entitled Thu Post-XVar Ainericzziii Philosophy. lt might, have been called many thinlgs. As a student and as a member of the so-called next generation, 1 am stating my views on tho outlook of the American- people on international problems. W'hen I point out their short comings and their national selfisliuess, l do so in the belief that these may he rectified if We will heed the warn- ings sounded. XVo Americans have coin-parative wealth, ww have an, powerful national defense sys- ic-nn. we have an abundance of food, and feeling of false security and complacency, That would be the greatest error we could make. We are supposed to he the w0rld's leading nation. A leader should act forthe benefit of others. Oh yes, we look at the papers and pity war-torn nations. We say shame when we see, in the newsreels, scenes of starving homeless people in these far-away lands. Then we go homo from the movies and have a delicious meal and talk about the new car we need. lsn't this a kind of hypocricy? ls this super- ficial sympathy helpinlg' these unfortunate people?
