New Pattern Of Government Needed to Save Democracy,
 Says Stewart Edward White

pattern for life simply because or- iginally our republic was laid down pretty much in accord with those two principles. Originally. We have backslid somewhat, especially lately. We have been exalting the thing created at teh expense of the cre- ator.
 It has not taken us many years to build that golden calf, but the things we are beginning to sacrifice to it are the slow growth of age long struggle. Such simple things as sac- redness of promise: sense of moral obligation; ordinary veracity: per- sonal integrity; individual liberty: elementary justice-what we call the homely virtues, spiritual values. And by just that much we are turning totalitarian, no matter what we call ourselves. Democracy is not a form of government; it is pattern for government. Lately we have been forgetting that. Nevertheless most of the Staunchness is still intact.
 We can do the job. But not on the old material basis that has collapsed leach day for itself and devil take tomorrow4man is made for the thing he fashions, including govern ment. Rather on the rock bottom principle-I repeat-that democracy is the union of all parts in the com. mon good of all, with complete op- portunity for each individual to do unhampered what he can do, but only to his capacity-though to his full capacity-with no obligation to do more-or less. Shall we have that much common sense?
 All of which is the practical way of saying that we must get back to building on spiritual rather than material values.

 History has conducted itself on the basis of self-preservation, with the accompanying greed, indiffer- ence to the other fellow, hatred, cruelties and treacheries necessary to carry out that scheme of things. We have fatuously returned to that basis every time we have been jar- red away from it by catastrophe, though mere self-preservation is no longer the vital issue. And our de- votion to it has obscured for us the two underpinning truths on which this democracy" we talk about depends.
 The creator is more important than the thing-created, not matter what it is. When the thing-created is made more important, you have totalitarianism.
