~ ECAUSE we are engaged in sin
X cere endeavor to distinguish be-
IL tween shadow and substance in q
matter thar has eluded the under
standing Of millions Of intelligent peo-
pie. and left them a prey to a de-
fusion disastrous in their consequence
millions Of people by nature as well
endowed with intelligence as are we
ourselves-there is need that at every
angle Of our observations we identify
our standpoint and our terms Of
statement Only by so doing shall
We in the end be able to verify our
findings. and locate the truth where
so many others have failed.
For this reason we must be def
mite, even at the risk Of being trite
and didactic.
As TO our standpoint, II is not sec

the standpoint OF caste. It IS the
standpoint Of scientific enquiry, the
standpoint Of universal and funda-
mental principles We take our
stand on the high and broad plat

and the same meaning.
'.NatiOnalism" is 2 new and growing
word and one that is easily misun-
derstood. It reminds me OF the eX-
Z perience that Willie Thomson had
with the word Notwithstanding.
Willie was a pupil in the third grade
in school Il happened that in the
melancholy, and more or less sense
less, course OF human events Willie
was overtaken by misfortune; he
was required TO compose a sentence.
And. worse than this. the sentence
must contain the biggest word he had
/ ever seen-doubtless the biggest word
I in the whole world the word not
Withstanding." This IS what Willie
/ turned in to the teacher: Il am get
l ting q hole IN my trousers am get

Willie had used the prescribed ex-
/ preston and he had handled Il with
l ease in relation to a matter Of lively
interest But he had not used IL in is
I intrinsic and conventional signifi-

word was naive. He and his teacher
