comfort or pleasure Why pay at
tention to moral conduct, or act and
do hard and unattractive things?
That is what the youth who con-
siders only the present day would
ask, for he prefers TO eat his cake

thinks of his health, mental power

apply himself and make sacrifices

Fascism appeals to many persons
as the easy, the efficient, the vic
torious way while democracy seems
so cumbersome. Dictators rely on
the emotions, and by means Of slo-
gans and emblems, uniforms and
glamor, they whip their followers
into a state Of enthusiasm and
frenzy.
The problem here is to teach ev-
eryone to take long range view
Of the benefits Of democracy. That
is what our fOre-fathers did. They
could have set up a dictator, but
they knew too much about oppres-
sion and bureaucracy, and they de-
caded to preserve freedom at all
