A New
Liberty

But the intellectual life is itself a
product 1t thrives only under pecu-
liar conditions, and one of the indis-
pensable conditions is freedom. The
intellectual life can prosper only where
liberty of conscience and of thinking
are cherished. 1t has seemed to some
among US that of late our American life
has drifted too strongly toward pater-
nalism. Possibly this drift has been
caused in part by the inconvenience
and dangers of social disorder. and
anarchistic propaganda. But let US not
in our war upon these perils forget
that, while they may violently destroy,
paternalism will inevitably stifie and
in time will kill all spontaneity and
outreaching of the human intellect.
Americanism then at last comes down
to this. We want an Americanism that
Will produce men and women that are
not only self-reliant in the practical
sense, but who also are self reliant.

in the spiritual sense, and such men
and women can live and do their part
IN the world if we have a particular
kind of law and particular kind of
liberty, liberty making law and a law
abiding liberty. Like the Pilgrims and
the Turitans who created our insti-
tutlons, like the patriots who Made
us an independent nation, like thx o,en
who saved and consolidated our Usdon,
and like the men who now have given
their lives to save the whole fabrkr OF
civilization, we must continue TO mako

MERCHANT-KingD David, too, danced
before the ark. When you feel God very
close to you, you wish to serve him with

Naturally, l don't do it so we'll yet.
OF course, an experienced dancer would
do it far better, far more gracefully.
You will be SO kind as to play over for

the dance grows faster and more ardent.
You know-trala, la, la la. Will

one more little rehearsal - to dance

This sensitiveness to things beau
tiful and of good report is a product of
the intellectual life, its standards and
its self-criticism. 1t presupposes in
the population an admiration for in
tellect, respect for it and Difference
to it. In these matters France is pre-
eminent among the civilizations of
the world. This is why we look to her
for standards of taste and criticism,
knowing that we may expect of her
undying fidelity to them in an age
which cares overmuch for excitements
and sensations.
New-York tribune., 1919-05-04

The American and the Americanism
that so far we have described are
practical and moral, and so far good
but the actual American as we know
him does not stop here. The actual
American as we know him and, as
Kipling with penetrating insight saw
and portrayed him, is creature of
startling contrasts. In one breath he
glories in his practically and in
another in what he is pleased to regard
as his idealsm.
Now it is precisely this idealism of
the American that should be scrutin-
lied and analyzed when we undertake
to say what Americanism we want.
