IDEALS OF DEMOCRACY THE world is in dire need of a renaissance that will lead to the building of a new world community. From the history of the last few years the world has come to see what a victory of the totalitarian powers will mean. In the event of an Axis victory the individual will become the servant of the stote. to which be must at all times give implicit obedience. Tremendous sacrifices will hove to be mode by every one of us if we are to retain the freedom we value so greatly. Moreover, if these sacrifices are not to be made in vain, we must have plans for a new world order to be introduced gradually once the military victory has been won. Two major paradoxes of today are very closely related. Through inventions man has made the world one neighborhood, but man has yet to learn the art of living in a world community The second paradox is that although by the use of the resources at his command man has been able to produce unbounded wealth, yet in one port of the world surplus food is destroyed and in another thousands die of hunger every year. To a certain extent there is a common solution of both these problems. Nations must no longer seek to live as independent ond Isolated units, but must work towards a system of interdependence in a world community. Economic welfare of all humanity must take the place of economic warfare,- competition must give way to cooperation.
