C. C. Dill-There are two kinds of
national defense. One is defense
against the foes from Without the
other is against the foes from within.
| have no fear but that eventually the
American people would successfully
defend themselves against any and all
foreign foes. but / have grave fears
that this Nation may some time be
destroyed by foes beneath our flag. 1t
can always appeal to the magnificent
patriotism of the people to prepare and
if need be. to fight against foreign
foe. But the foes from within some
times wrap the flag about themselves
to arouse patriotic enthusiasm to in
duce the people to establish certain
systems and institutions and to adopt
certain policies which would ultimate
ly destroy the republic.

Iwould make plea against the one
sidedness Of our present endeavor, lean
ing over to the external world; would
make a plea for a deeper culture; for
more widespread study Of the humani-
ties; for more determined use, In our
colleges and our schools, Of the ideal
lists opportunity In world drunk with
a sense Of physical fact. A plea for
the study of history; for the pure in
tellectual discipline Of philosophy
and, because of our special need, for
literature as a necessary discipline In
all school work and college work
wheresoever. The work with the clas-
sizes is steadily decreasing; alas for
the dimming of the torch that has
guided our way! Since ancient litera-
ture, with its superb power Of shaping
young civilization. has been largely
driven out-with what incalculable
loss let us study and teach our own,
still permitted and, in places, even en-
couraged; let us have our English lit
erature taught In the wisest and pro-
foundest way ascertainable, wherever
