.c,DlTOKl'XL5 SHALL OUR DEMOCRACY LIVE? The United States at present is vastly different from the country we had a few years ago. Not only is there a change ev mnomically and politically, but the philosophy of the majority of the people, their ideas and their manner of thinking is dif- ferent. The inevitable depression which came after the few years of post-war prosperity changed the life of the average man from one of near luxury to one of want. The depression, from which there has been no fundamental recovery, caused us to grasp at anything which might bring relief, and so our leaders instituted a program that, from its very nature as well as its results, is un-American. America has always stood for independence, progress, and self sufficiency. At present, we, the individuals which constitute the country as a whole, are being educated against these funda- mental American ideals. The incentive to save, to be self-suf- ficient, is suppressed by compulsory social security controlled by the Federal government, and by such agencies as the P. W. A., F. E. R. A., and many others. Private enterprise, long one of the distinguishing features of American economic life, is dis- couraged by direct governmental control and indirectly by exces- sive taxation. In order to maintain our American standards we must have new loaders with the foresight to understand in which direction we are heading, and the courage and ability to avert the possible ruin of our democratic life.
