Much is being said nowadays
about how fine it is for the world
that every section is in constant
communication with every other

affairs can probably be attributed
the fact that the whole Gworld is
today in greater disturbances than
it ever was before. ,
Today when somebody conceives
a dramatic idea which appeals to
the best or the worst in human
nature, it is flashed by radio and
wire from sea to sea and from
land to land. Almost instantly
the suggestion girdles the globe
and is caught up by receptive

We know the dangers of COM

we have worked out a system of

THERE'S NO DEMOCRACY WHILE
THERE'S WAR
(By BRUCE CATTON)

You can see all sorts of things in the
smoke that drifts up from the burning
cities and the battlefelds of Spain these
days. They are dark and grisly shapes,
most of them - things which, with bad
luck, may become part of the worlds fu-
ture one of these days. . ...
So closely knit is the fabric of modern
society, so intricately involved are the
strains of cause and effect, that the world
may yet commit the mass hara-kiri of a
general European war because opposing
politicians in Spain took to the gun and
the knife to settle their disputes.
But of all the shapes which take form
over Spain, the most frightening is one
which is occasionally talked about serious
ly by people who ought to know better:
the prospect that the surviving democra-
cies of the world-nations such as France
and England, and perhaps the United
States - may find themselves fighting the
great autocracies like Italy and Germany
to preserve the democratic ideal in this
world g
Even if the last war, with its legacy of
oppression and dictatorship, did not re-
mind us of the futility of fighting to make
the world safe for democracy" moments
thought about the way war is fought now
adays ought to do the trick.
The first person to get busy when war
comes in a democracy is the censor. The
news columns of the papers are restrained
from mentioning this, that, or the other bit
of news
Then the editorial columns are curbed
let the editor start denouncing the war and
pleading for peace, and he will find himself
in extremely hot water-with the govern
ment stocking the fires.
Freedom of speech goes simultaneously
You may be convinced that all war is
wrong or only that this particular war is a
frightful mistake; no matter if you all
your views in public, you are more than
likely to find yourself behind the bars be-
fore you are a week older.
Freedom of assemblage dies with free
dom of speech. Freedom of movement alst
dies. The business man is obliged to con
duct his business to suit the requirement.
of his general staff the worker who strike
can be drafted into the army; the ordinar,
citizen is marched off to fight, whether h
likes the idea or not.
In other words, the democracy lmmedl
ately takes on all the attributes of the YER
dictatorship which it is fighting to destroy
Democracy, for which the war IS beinl
fought, ceases to exist for the duration
the war.
II may return after the war ends and
NAV not. If it does, the unbearable dlscor
tent of the postwar period is as likely
not to kill it for good.
We talk foolishly when we talk OF ne'
European war to preserve democracy. De
mocrady is like some other OF the "orio
great drums = it can be saved IN Amos
any way except by fighting for 1t. >,
It will survive, in the long run, II Tn
worlds great democracies can show tina
this system of government gives the ord
nary mortal more happiness than any othe
political system.
Which means, of course, that we
America, today, are fighting for democrat
in the only effective way that that gres
ideal dan be fought for.

CONCERNING THE NATIONAL CHARACTER

While comparatively small percentage OF
Hole borrowers has yet defaulted IN payments
to the government agency which rescued them. from
their financial desperation the mere fact that ooo'
homes have had to be taken over because OF tner
owners failure to meet their obligations poses sew
oral questions which seem to have fundamental
relationship to various fields in which the govern
ment is now and has been operating for the past
few years.
II was to have been expected that the HOLE
would suffer some losses. It's lending activities
were inaugurated in an hour of crisis and involved
the underwriting of mortgages which private in
terests either could not or would not assume. The
government, going into the field under such coiT
ditions and circumstances, viii necessarily expert
ence som elosses just as any other lending agency
would.
Using the Hole as basis however, there arises
the question as to how other governmental lenolng
agencies are to fare in their collections. The ad-
ministration has made much of its offsets IN answer
ing criticism of excessive spending and the mount
ing public debt. Undoubtedly, the government Is
well protected in many of its advancements' OUT
there will be defaults To what extent Will the
treasury he yictmized by these losses and how Will
they be made up? One of the possibilities OF course
is that rising prices have set in and that foreclosure
proceedings will bring in larger return than would
have been possible when the mortgage was placed.
In that instance the improvement is no less to the
mortpaeor's than the mortgagee's advantage.
| Another question has to do with the governments
going into the real estate or rental business AS
/ these forecosed homes are taken over what is
| Washington to do with or about them? The pro-
cedure will presumably set precedent, or maybe
follow one already established, disposal or OPP
eratng programs must be evolved for various prop
critics. businesses and enterprises which the several
leading agencies will likely have to take over as
part of their collection or liquidation proceedings
4 Even more fundamental than either of these con-
celebrations is the reveato nthat SO per cent of the
cases in which the Hole has had to take title re-
suited from wilful default The speculation here is
two-fold involving, first, the willingness or unwil-
Ilingness of American citizens to shoulder the bur-
! den of home ownership and, second, the attitude
of borrowers towards government obligations. Is
the gimme attitude, accelerated by if not born OF
1 the New Deal outpourings, in any wise RESPONSE
ible? If such an attitude is prevalent and spread
ing what is to be its future political influence and
it's effect upon the treasury and the tax bill?
1t is in these latter questions that the entire ma
tional psychology, character and ECONOMY are sc

practice is dangerous" says Chief
of Police Frank Daniels, "and II
the boys do not heed this warning

their bicycles to the fire Wednes-
day noon.
People, who follow the trucks to
