Never in our history was our obliga- tion to think and vote so high. Unless we have the mental ability and the spirit to cooperate. to solve our prob lems mutually unless we have that spirit of liberty and freedom in our hearts that means the subordination of slfish and competitive interests, un- less we have the moral stamina to sac rifice-then ter.corarv advantages will be temporary indeed and the result will be a lessened efficiency at home that will mean nothing else than the l loss of victory abroad.
 Points of View
 Some have said that the govern 1 ment's dealing with labor collectively and the establishment of this general | labor system, will result in unionizing | the whole country; others, that it is really Conscription of labor; others, | that it is indirect conscription of cap | ital. Some say it means a standardi- Zation of wages that will prevent labor | from selling it's service under the law 1 of supply and demand, while others claim it is a direct inhibition upon that private initiative without which capi 1 tai has hitherto been ineffective. It may mean any, all or none of these. l But one thing is certain-in time Of | national and common peril, neither la : Dor nor capital can afford arbitrarily 1 In "Cfa rje oh tc Responsibility
 Labor and capital have, if not a new, l then a higher responsibility than ever | before. Individually we must give up our freedom that we may preserve 1t. To confuse our personal interests with the great national purpose cannot be permitted. Voluntarily, for the dura- tion of the war, we have established an | ''autocratiC democracy"

There is such a wide difference between the gentleI impulses of a man and the rude part ambition causes him 10 play. A role partly self chosen it is true, and not wholly thrust upon him-a soul ac- cursed by one great wrong idea, and the purpose, passions and resolutions generated by it. A mind distorted, led into captivity, and led into crime by the obsession that God has but one people, and they are his people: that the people have but one will, and that is his will; that God has but one pur- pose, and that is his purpose; and, be- ing responsible only to the God of his imagiration, a purely tribal divinity
