But the American have themselves
known little or nothing about the ef-

and friends at home.
1t Is not necessary to go 10 Europe
to acquire a first hand knowledge of
the questions that the oppressed Of
Europe are asking to have settled
rightly now. For here among us, be-
cause of that very oppression, are the
humble men and women who have
themselves suffered from a denial Of
the freedom which they are asking
the world to give to their people
here are also 'intellectuals" who have
had their part in leading the move
ments.
And it is the example or the United
States in which the American of
many generations and the Americans
who came recently from all the ma
lions Of Europe are living and work
ing out together the problems Of our
common life that makes the League
Of Nations a possibility. And so
while recognizing the difficulties it
offers US a peculiar opportunity.
"Americanism" is much more mat.
ter Of the long future that Is ahead Of
US than it is OF the past. Unless We
shall plan to utilize to the fullest ex-
tent the contributions which each Of
10 can make we shall fail in our OBJ
ligations to that future.
