ing more and more functions. PuD-
lie ownership and regulations are
expanding.
Even our farmers who have been
our greatest individuaiists' are
turning toward cooperative and
fraternalistic interests. How far
this trend may carry us, how lar II
NAV serve a useful purpose, none
can tell. That it threatens the
spirit Of private enterprise and re-
sponsibility which has made the
nation great cannot be denied. and
that IL carried too far the lesson
of history will be repeated, seems
certain.
No simpler or greater indlcI
meot of communism and socialism
has ever been written than that by
Governor Bradford Of the Ply
mouth colony in his history IN
which he describes the complete
failure of their first communlstlc
| efforts.
AS we look out over the world
TODAY we see this conflict between
individualistic and socialistic ideas
waged on all sides. AS the world
increases in population and lts
problems become more complex II
Is certain that the inter-depend-
ence of men and nations must pc
constantly emphasized and their
mutual relations considered. but
how far the rights of the individual
man or nation must yield to the
rights or interests OF the many IS
the question of the hour and marks
a world wide battlefield Of ideas.
In accepting our proper re-
sponsibility for the welfare o,
others, 1t is certain we must not
lose sight of the first great need
for self.proteetion. That lesson OF
the pilgrims cannot be ignored
with safety to our institutions.
