America, as compared with the civilization of Europe, is in its infancyg and during its comparatively brief existence as a nation, it has been busy in conquering the wilderness and in building up trade and industry. The contribution of our country, therefore, to world progress is better expressed in terms of an ideal than in those of speaciflc, outstanding achievement in the generally accepted sphere of art, literature, an music. The tact that America cannot boast of .exceptional attainments in the cultural and creative arts does not signify that it has not played a very vital and significant role in world progress, for in the great modern government America has not a peer. 'Our country with its ideal of the emancipation of humanity from ignorance and oppression is demonstrating to the world the great principle or government of the people, by the people, for the people. As a result of this doctrine of freedom for all, America has been able to make a rich and varied contribution to world thought and progress in the realm of government, education, scientific discovery, invention, sanitation, engi- neering, industry, and business. The potential future contribution of America is limitless for the liberation and development of the soul, rather than a passive role both in the material and the spiritual progress of world endeavor and achievement. Qfatd ,flue In evaluating America's Contribution to World Progress, one immediately goes back to the beginnings of our country and thinks of the basic concept of government on which our nation was founded. Freedom of speech, freedom of Worship, freedom to vote, and to take part in the functions of government were fundamental principles in the establishment of the American republic. As an outgrowth' of these concepts ot government has come our most worthwhile contribution to world progress, namely an increasing respect for the rights of the individual. A sense of justice, and desire of fair play, tolerance for the opinions and for the views of others, and the acceptance ot all creeds and colors in one great brotherhood should make America peculiarly fitted to lead the nations of the worldz The supreme test of this leadership as a nation is soon to come. As the most powerful neutral nation, it will be incumbent upon our country to see that a just and lasting peace follows the present European war, a peace that will protect little nations from an aggressor and will assure that justice, not might, will rule.
