The Power of Freedom

Leverett Saltonstall, governor OF
Massachusetts, made a remark that
viii win general approval, when he
spoke recently in regard to the
power of freedom. He admitted that
democracy may not provide the most
efficient kind of government, but
said that it produces something
which dictator governments can not
create, which is boundless will and
force that can overcome terrific OBJ
stacles.
It is easy to find faults in demo-
cratic governments. Under popular
government political fayoritism is
often the ruling principle, which
does not help the people get their
work done right, or done cheaply
and efficiently. A smart dictator
would not tolerate such things.
But under free government, peo-
pie develop a great enthusiasm. II
anyone threatens their homes and
their interests, they fight like tigers.
They showed what they can do when
the American soldiers in the World
war fought like giants.
1t may be objected that in some
way the German Nazis are able to in
spire their youth with a fanatical
zeal. Still, the war news indicates
that the British airmen fight better
than the Nazi fiiers.
When the Nazi youth fight hard, it
is because they have been deceived.
Some day they will find out how
they have been fooled. In demo-
cratic land where the truth is acces-
sible to all through a free press,
there is no such chance for decep-
ton.
The power which democratic gov
ernment develops is illustrated in
the way this country was dsvelaRsdu
The pioneers braved every conceiyr
able danger, they toiled from dawn
to dusk. they cut down forests and
reclaimed swamps and turned des-
erts into paradises and mountain
wilderness into Fairgrounds, A psO-
pie who can do such things will not
be turned back from any cherished
aim.

Prison Schools

Great progress has been made in
the past year in establishing educa-
tional and vocational training in
prisons. A large part of the in
mates of such institutions are now
taking such courses.
Many young men go wrong be-
cause they are not skilled at any
trade, and have never become inter-
ested in any kind of work. If in a
prison school they can be taught
skill in some good occupation, there
is a good chance that their ambitions
will turn in some useful direction.
If they can excel in honest service,
the attractions of the crooked life
will not seem so alluring.

Trading Debts For Islands

Great Britain now owes the United
States on account of the money it
borrowed at the time OF the World
war. the sum of s4.s6S,0O0,0OO, with
some accrued interest
The British people are convinced
that they do not really owe that debt.
They claim the heavy sacrifices
they made during that war should
compensate the United States for all
the money they borrowed. That
point of view is not accepted by the
majority of the American people.
The chance that the United States
will ever be able to collect that debt
in cash. or any large part of it, is
not good.
It is often suggested that the
United States could AFFORD to cancel
that debt, if it could obtain posses
sion of the islands which Great
Britain possesses in the West In
dies. These islands are located not
far from the Panama canal. If our
country obtained them, the danger
that they would come into posses
sion Of some hostile power would be
averted.
It may be that Britain would not
be willing to trade them in return
for the cancellation of the debt.
Many British people live in those is
lands, and they might not care to
come under United States rule. Still
one would think the British people
would feel better to get the debt
question out of the way, so that they
might be willing to trade those is
lands.
One objection from the American
point of view is that there is wide
spread poverty in those colonies. If
the United States obtained them, it

Humanity's Benefactors

Sir Frederick Banting, who recent
ly died in Canada, is hailed as havz
ing, in connection with associated
doctors, discovered insulin, the rem
edy used with wonderful success in
the treatment of diabetes. The world
owes a great debt to the medical
scientists like him, who have delved
into the mysterious mind of nature.
and discovered the means by which
diseases can be cured or relieved.
Thus gradually the ills of man are
being counteracted or cured. AS
these discoveries go on. the people
can look forward to longer lives.
Unfortunately, long life depends on
self control. No scientist can put
that into a persons heart, if he has
not developed it there himself.

Life Insurance in action!

bene6ciaries is record high for the Company.
Metropolitan funds, invested for the benefit of
its poIicyhoIders; continued to play part in the
economic structure of the nation. These funds
aided in financing Government activities, helped
to keep industry humming and men in jobs, to
erect public and private buildings, and assisted
farmers to own their farms and to keep them in
proper repair. However, the low interest rates
generally prevailing, continued to have their effect
on the Companys earnings and consequently on
dividends to policyholders.

Waiting For The Lightning


The position of the British people,
and to some extent the American
people, is like that of persons in the
midst of some terrific electrical
storm in which a bolt of lightning
has just struck near them, and they
are sure that more similar bolts are
to follow. Or it might be said they
are like people who have experien-
ced one terribly destructive earth
quake shock, and fully expect more
and worse ones.
The Nazis and the Fascists are
warning their enemies of the awful
destruction they are going to per-
petrate during March and April.
They boast of the resistless power
they have accumulated in all the
material of war. This sounds very
terrible. Still, the same kind of
thing has been heard before.
The Nazis were going to wipe out
H6ioAu Aaob idil WIFI luelT ait at
tacks. They did level some portions
of the British cities to the ground,
and many thousands of non-com-
batants now lie in their graves. But
England still plugs along, and seems
to be growing in strength.
Our people here in America have
no idea what it means to live under
this constant terror of death, not to
speak Of the starvation which the
Nazis will try to produce by their
submarine campaign. Somehow when
people are in constant danger, they
get used to it. 1t was so with the
American soldiers i'm the trenches
during the World war, and it is so
now in the bomb SCARED cities of
Europe.
Human nature has way of ris-
ing to heights of fortitude to meet
such experiences. The people OF
democratic lands do not like the
idea OF, lying down and letting tyr
ants tiamDle on them. So they wait
as calmly as they can for the bolt OF
lightning or the earthquake that is
about to come, and remember that
they have lived through some awful
shocks in the past.

Nothing To Live For

People who have suffered some
dreadful sorrow often say. there is
nothing left for them to live for. One
can only feel the deepest sympathy
for such folks. Yet when they come
to calmer moments, they will prob
ably see they have many things to
live for. That is especially true if
they have children, and their lives
can go on broadening and deepening
as the lives of these youngsters ex-
pand. ts
Even if one is left without a
welded partner or. children, and is
practically alone insthe world as far
as relatives go. there are many
things to live for. People. can al
ways make friends, and those FRIEND
ships are like the warm SUN thaw-
ing winter ice. The world is full of
fascinating interests, if one can for
get the past, and keep eyes toward
the future.

DY IT'S VERY NATURE, Life Insurance is an active,
D continuing force-a lining force in the homes
of millions who share its benefits.
Last year Metropolitan visited many homes in
times of family crisis for total of over $1S2 2OO0,
900 was paid on account of death claims to scores
of thousands of bene6ciaries of Metropolitan pol
icyhoIders. Dividends, matured endowments,
annuity payments, disability, and health and acci
dent claims, and other benefits paid credited to
living policyhoIders during the year amounted to
more than $426.O00OOO. The total of almost
$6O9,0OO,OOO for payments to poIicyholders and

might feel obligated to spend great
sums to improve the condition of
those people. Also they might de-
mand admission to the United States
as states, with equal voting rights
in congress.
With great predatory powers grab
hing territory all over the world, the
stars and stripes floating over those
islands would be very fine no-tres-
