Underneath all the warnings of

knowledge that 1t never will be so, as
long rs a majority rules and q minor
ity can speak its mind.
Government Exists for Ideals.
Fundamentally. the issues In this
campaign have been difilcult to fnd.
What Is government for? Why does
1t exist at all? u it not to create
the environment in which men and
women can attain their legitimate de-
sires? Every one seeks, first Of all,
the fulfllment Of his own lfe-eco-
nomic success, according to standards
set by his own capacities and by those
of the society In which he lives; phys
ical health; love. and according to his
background and upbringing various
kinds and degrees OF intellectual and
spiritual satisfaction. For the attain
ment Of the greatest satisfactio in
these things for the greatest numbers
Of people, government exists in free
countries. For life, liberty and happi-
ness, according to policies based upon
the most universal possible consent.
For the attainment of these things,
government, according to the Ameri-
can way. has two functions, one mega
tive and one positive. Its negative
function Is to keep away obstacles
from the individual. To prevent his
property from being confiscated. his
personal ambitions from being frus-
trated. his opinions from being sup
pressed.
Would Prevent Fear.
It's business. on this side, is to pre-
vent coercion. To prevent fear. Fear
Of the policeman, fear Of the tax coll
lector, fear Of the recruiting sergeant,
fear OF the boss and fear Of the mob.
On this side the American people
are extremely sensitive, as are all peo-
pies with q long tradition Of demo-
cratic government and democratic So
ciety. whether they are Englishmen or
Frenchmen or Swedes And it Is we'll
that it should be 50. For out of this
lack OF coercion springs everything
that is creative. Affirmative and per-
sonally responsible. If the American
people are representative on this side.
If they are hesitant to change one
coercion for even q more benevolent
one, let US be thankful. Underneath
all the exaggerated absurdities of the
Republican campaign was. essentially.
the fear Of coercive government, and
that is what the Republican vote will
have registered.

The council Of the LEAGUE of ma

day, March l3, may well prove
fateful if not fatal.
France already has declared her
! position uncompromisingly.
She eXcoriates bitterly Germanv's
one-Sided reputation of the treaties
OF Iocarno and Versailles and re-
jects scernfully Fuehrer Adolf Hit
| lers offer Of other treaties.
Premier Albert Sarraut of France
believes Germany has demonstrat
ed that treaties mean nothing to
her-that she will break them at
any time it is in her interest to do
so. He believes Hitler's proposals
for non aggression agreements
would not be worth the paper on
which they would be written.
AT the same time. however.
France IS maintaining her regard
Tor the nicetieS of international
lax. Sarraut and his colleagues
are moving along the lines of most
impeccable International procedure.
While taking all the military
precautions which they believe to
be necessary and justifiable under
the circumstances, the French lead
ers are avoiding any step which
might precipitate a conflict.
France TO place her case before
the league. Then if conflict comes.
her justification IN law is beyond
question. Meantime she is endeav-
oring industriously to enlist the
support OF other members of the
league = especially those nations
which signed the Locarno agree |
ments and those she considers her
possible allies.
The cabinets of all the chief Eu-
ropean powers particularly that of
Britain, are confronted with the
necessity of making the most !
momentous decision since 1914
whether and to what extent they
will support France in her demands
for action against Germany under !
the treaty OF Versailles. which
means the imposition OF economic. /
financial, and possibly military
penalties upon Germany.
Meantime there comes word from
Berlin that the German govern
ment will construe any sort OF
sanctions as a hostile act-justify-
ing military reprisals.
