son mas una question de educa-
ci6n y crianza que de herencia.
Asf como Sc necesita un me
dio favorable para ayudar al de
sarrollo de los grandes lideres y
los grandes sabios, 10 mismo es
esencial un buen medic para con
senvar nuestra libertad. La nece
sidad imperative para nosotros
es preguntarnos bajo que con-
diciones puede perderse nuestra
libertad. IBajo que condolences
Sc eleva al poder en- las naciones
modernas ell tipo de DICTATOR i'm
placable? SBajo que condolences
persuaden al pueblo a aceptar
una f~ilosoffa, y a seguir una IL
nea de acci6n, que viola muchas
de las empresas mejores de la
humanidad y exalta muchas de
sus peores cualidades? ZEN que
condolences estan dispuestos
grandes n1meros de hombres a
renunciar a toda esperanto de
libertad Individual para devenir
meras cifras del Estado? IBajo
que condolences negara ell sabio
la verdad y pervertira su cien-
cia para servir a los gritos de
combate de la tiranfa? Y luego,
ic6mo puede impedirse que o.
curran en- nuestro pals esas con
diciones?
All tratar de responder honra-
damente esas preguntas, inevi :
tablemente daremos con ciertas
verdades que no son NADIA hala-
guenas para nosotros. Hallare-
mos en- nuestro pals algunas de
las condolences que han hecho
possible 10 que venos en- ell ex-
tranjero. Las semillas de esas
condolences existen aqui. No bas
ia con esperar simplemente que
esas condolences no llegue a Ia
les extremes aquf como han He
gado en- ell extranjero. Debemos
procurar que asf no sea.
Cuando un sistema polftico no
consigue dar 2 gran n1mero de
la libertad que les ha
prometido, entonces ellos estan
dispuestos a entregar su desti-
no a otro sistema politico. Guam
do la existente maquinaria de la
paz no logra darles esperanto al
guna de prosperidad nacional :
dignidad nacional, estan pres
tos a probar los azares de la que
ira. Cuando la educaci6n fraca-
sa en- enSenarles la verdadera
naturaleza de las cosas, creeran
en- cuentos fantasticos de dia-
bios y de magia. Cuando su vi
da normal no consigue darles o.
ira cosa que monotonia y SOM
bras, Sc les conduce facilmente
a expresarse en- forma maligna
o cruel, como 10 es la violencia
tumultuaria. Y cuando la cien-
ella no consigue proporcionarles
gufas eficaces, los hombres exal
taran a demagogos, y Ia ciencia
tendra que i~nclinarse ante ellos
0 callar.
Ell hecho ir6nico es que la dis
cordancia economical de nuestra
epoca que amenaza nuestra de-
mocracia Y la libertad de la Glen
cia Sc debe en- gran parte a los
cambios traidos por la ciencia.

are level headed, patriotic
men with the interests of our
beloved state at heart, among
them. Our system of mud
singing and passion-exciting
campaigns keeps great num-
bers of able, generous men
from offering for public
office. With a poor state
one of the very poorest of the
Union, smallest per capita in
come, fewest men who by any
measure could be called "weal-

There will be masses and lines

There are also those trees of
such individual growth habit
that they are known as "Du.

cellent backgrounds or strong
points. It appears to be =
very excellent idea of devel-
oping the native beauties of
the land and its flora instead
trying to fit with an overwork-
ed and unimaginative pattern.
An obvious advantage of the
plan is that it would require
very little money but the dis
advantage is that it takes a

and the securing of cooperation

Slowly, heroically, the Firms
are yielding to Overwhelming

four hours long now - and
the g round will still be frozen
so that tanks and trucks can

be crumpled up then. When
the thaw comes there will be
six or eight weeks of mud too
soft for armies to maneuver
- guns, trucks, tanks would
