19 THE JL' REVOIR -H Zim jfexf Seventy- ive ears On a boat crossing the Atlantic this winter, Dr. Alexis Carrcl, a famous natural scientist, made this statement: Science and invention has reached a point today where it can give mankind cserything-everything except the one thing it needs. That one thing is love. Many great scientists agree that the greatest dis- coveries of the future will be in the spiritual realm. In fact much more isialready known about the democratic principles of equality, liberty, tolerance, and peace than is practiced by men or nations. Even now America is engaged in a revolutionary struggle to combine humanity with economic ctliciency. and social equality and economic security with the main- tenance of genuine democracy and individual freedom. VVe are beginning to take stock of all our spiritual needs and resources, and are becoming more articulate in defending democracy by reviving an appreciation of it, particularly of its spir- itual foundations. The next seventy-live years will be a time of threshing out the grains of democracy in the nation. and for humanity the harvest promises to be worth its weight in gold. Men are attempting to find ways to indicate their convictions on public ques- tions without using predatory pressure groups: to strengthen leadership in public affairsg and to help nations to play their part in world relationships. Out of the improved methods of organizing and disseminating knowledge to all, and out of the criticising of democratic ideas. will come a better public evaluation and public action. The informed and alert citizen will make definite contributions to the social good while defending his own rights with intelligence and spiritual courage. The world is weary of the opposers of press freedomg those who are unwill- ing to preserve the ideals of democracy handed down to them from the past, weakly subscribing to a doctrine of defeatism and escape from honest effort. Surely this is no time for neutrality, but resolute opposition to the forces which threaten in- stitutions that express righteousness and make life worthwhile. Happily fro111 many directions come indications that humanity is experienc- ing a great awakening of the social conscience. Yvriters long indifferent to heroic deeds and sometimes practiced in the debunking of ideals are hastening to write: For democracy in actiongthe unending labor of creating liberty for every man- democracy in action is a cause for which the stones themselves will light QArchi- bald MacI.eishj and whence do they tthe virtucsj come if not from Christianity which has made them the law of the world? QThomas Mannj. In the United States. a voice is heard crying for free schools for all the people. and the cry will grow louder. Effective measures will also be found to root out the causes of totalitarian ways of thought and action in the school-room. and adequate means of defending democratic living will be ushered in. Mrs. Beatrice Clough Rath- bone recently declared. It is because we don't know enough of one another that l'0nfinucd on Page 100 11
