Yes, we are in danger: but the
danger that threatens us most is
not from across the Atlantic: it
is the danger that comes from
poor thinking and incomplete Or
ganizatior at home. The break
down of the 18th century system
has caught the United States in
a difficult stage of transition. We
have no choice but to go forward,
if necessary completing our reor-
ganization under fire. No matter
what kind of economic system is
eventually set up, it must work
towards the same basic aims for
is around the core of respect for
the rights and liberties of the in
dividual man that all our institu-
tionS have grown up. To bring
the lifeof every American back into
sharp relation to this central prin-
ciple we need works as freshly ac-
curate as those of '76, and state
building as rapid energetic and
original as that of the convention
that laid down. our Constitution.
I think that if we could look
at the developments of American
government under the New Deal as
if it were 10 years off. liberals and
tories alike would be forced to ad-
NIT that more useful building has
been done than they have been
willing to see. To put the republic
into a state of defense we must
organize for liberty or else there'll
be no republic to defend. The job
before us is to make every mans
liberty and every mans inventive
ness and push work efficiently in
the frame of close-krit industrial
organization. We've got to prove
that machine production in war or
peace can better serve the ENDS of
liberty than the ends of tyranny.
1t is great and terrible moment.
Every selfish and powerminded
group in the country is going to try
to use the confusion for its own
ends. AT time when what we need
most is clear heads and the will
10 sacrifice private prejudices ard
interests for the common good, men
in high office and low are running
the record of their otherwise useful
lives by panic scrapping of every
principle they were brought up to
believe in. In the name of the
great totalitarian bogey they whoop
up the mob against whatever min
ority seems weakest and least popu-
lar. Much more than the German
military-industrial machines vast
successes in Europe, we have rea-
son TO fear weak nerves in. public
life at a time when We need every
kind of courage. but particularly
civic courage.
1t is civic courage and civil lib
erty that will beat the European
and Asiatic bogeys abroad and at
home and firmly establish this re-
public Of free men in the new World
that is being hacked out in cruelty
and bloodshed. An American mon
opolist's despotism will not succeed
in saving America any more than
the poor rotten French business
mans republic succeeded in say
ing France.
