WE THINK TOO MUCH,
WE FEEL TOO LITTLE

Did you see Charlie Chapln's film,
The Great Dictator?
There was a line in Charlin's final
speech, when as an oppressed jewish bar
Der he had through accident ascended 10
the dictator's seat, that every person
should remember and ponder. 1t was:
1--WE think too much we feel too little.
That one line strikes the very keynote
of Christianity. r the whole world were
to abide by the a vice implied in those
few words, there would be no more OF
oppression and war: there would be more
Of happiness and contentment.
I'VE think too much.
That is the basis of the worlds great
est tragedies? It is greed. Greed Tor
money drives unscrupulouS persons to an
attempt to wiring their gains from others.
Greed for power drives nations to make
war upon one another Greed Is the cause
of more suffering, the murderer of more
souls, than any other single evil force
in the world.
And greed springs from sClfishnesS,
which in turn springs from heart
squeezed dry of feelings for others.
First comes the thought, What can
| gain?" Then, 'How?" Then follow
the schemes which plunge individuals,
families, communities or nations INTO
chaos.
1--WE feel too little
The worlds most heroic chapters have
been written out of a depth Cf feeling.
The worlds greatest figure of all time
was a creature first of feeling secondly
of logic He was Jesus Christ, whose doc
trine was love.
Our most beloved people are those
with the greatest capacity for feeling.
1t is a capacity which transcends the
individual, reaching out to all who sur
round him. If in our hearts we have
that capacity, we have also the ability
to feel the hurts that are inflicted upon
others-and feeling them, we have no
wish to inflict hurt upon anyone.
The employer who feels deeply is the
one who does the most for his employees.
The ruler who feels deeply is the one who
has the true interests of his people at
heart The man or woman who feels
deeply is the one in whose heart there is
no room for greed, bitterness and selfish
ness.
We think too much Of ourselves; we
feel too little for others
When the world has learned that les
son, civilization will be more fact than
myth.

The Music Will Come Again

Has Greece fallen? Yes, but it
has cost Hitler thousands of his
finest youth. Last October. it look
ed as though Greece might fall
within a few weeks to the Italians
Yet six months later both Musso-
lini and Hitler are paying a price
for Greece-a heavy price to create
ore more house of hatred to be
policed and held under by armed
force.
Strongly and more strongly comes
tie realization that the struggle
that shakes The world is no mere
business of battles won and quick
blitzkriegs, but long grinding
struggle which may consume years.
For, just as modern war is a war
on civilians and peoples, and not
merely of armies, SO conquest i'm
plies not only the beating of arm
les but the beating of peoples, the
breaking or remodeling of their
spirit and their soul.
In this sense, Hitler has not yet
conquered a single country, though
his legions have achieved cat
price, many victories. His panzer
divisions may drive Greek riflemen
before them. but the shepherd is
mconquered.
In every conquered country in
Europe the people remain forever
unconquered, because there is
something within them that must
remain forever free.

POLITICAL SLUSH FUND

One million dollars year to advertise
California.
That is the ostensible aim of Assem-
bly, Bill No. 1134, now before the Califor-
MIA legislature. The bill would create
fund of 81 100000 year to be spent in
"publicizing California" 1t would be
spent by five-man commission appoint
ed by the governor. Two members would
be from southern California, two from
the north, and two from central Califor-
MIA.
The effects of the bill, if it were adopt
ed are obvious. 1t would create new
political Jobs 1t would establish a polit-
ical slush fund over which only the gov
ernor, through his commission, would
have control. 1t would leave the business
of publicizing California to nOtoriously
inexpert politicians, discouraging the
semi-public and civic groups now doing
such meritOrious job. 1t would require
southern California. through taxes, to
contribute 90 per cent of the fund and
get only 40 per cent of the benefit.
The bill should be defeated.

WASHINGTON. April 30 Down
town washington is dotted with
parks, squares and circles where the
diagonal streets intersects. Bits Of
greensward with curving walks. Big
trees and floWerbeds and inevitable
monuments of past big shots and
heroes, forgotten generals on or off
horseback who are remembered only
by unknown descendants or patri-
otic societies that come out in faded
glory to lay a wreath and say a
word.
These little parks give the city

On Easter Sunday in Greece the
Greek Orthodox Easter) an Ameri-
can correspondent, weary and worn
with two days of retreat with the
Greek and British armies, climbed
a high plateau in the plain of Thes-
sally and,
=" there found a bucolic
lovelinesS, heard the tinkling of
bells of hundreds of sheep and the
notes of a flute played by an aged,
wrinkled shepherd sitting under a
tree" Pressed for an opinion on the
war, the old man said he had none,
and sadly went back to his flute
playing"
There is something eternal about
Greece. Byron was not the only one
who dreamed that Greece might
still be free Greece shall be free
again and the old man piping his
flute on a plateau in Thessaly, has
a greater premanence there than
any driver Of Nazi tank.
Does it look dark for Greece,
for the world, for freedom? Per
haps it does. Yet go back a year.
The British were then withdrawing
from the fiasco in Norway. The fall
OF France was only weeks away, and
there were people then who gave
Britain OILY weeks to live. Yet
Britain lives, and in the midst of
the Greek tragedy, an old man can
still pipe upon a mountain-top.
Did Yugoslavia fall? Yes, but
Yugoslavia almost fell without a
struggle, by the signing of paper.
