! Defining peace aims, however
means outlining the shape of the
social order of the next century.
WE ALREADY have mentally
w rejected two new orders-or
are they really only one-that
loom immense upon the canvas
Of the century, two new orders
or one that have been formu-
lated and incorporated abroad.
We ask the British to paint the
outlines of another order more
compatible with our intellectual
and moral natures, and are an
noyed and apprehensive that the
British do not do so.
No thoughtful person believes
for an instant that the world can
be reconstructed as of August,
1899.
But how will it be reconstructed,
even in the best possible case, even
in the event that the British pre-
vent the new order of the NaZiS
from imposing itself upon most of
the world?
That is the question we must
ask of ourselves - not of the
British.
Any new order of nations in
wolves us, and any new order of
domestic society will be influenced,
even perhaps determined, by the
new order Of nations.
FURTHERMORE, any new order
L that comes to birth as the
normal and healthy child of the
great tradition of freedom and
democracy is more likely to be
Undivided by America tn an by
Britain.
The moment that any consid-
cradle and devoted minority in this
country is able to see more or
less clearly the shape of a future
compatible with the deepest in
stincts of our mind and tradition,
that. at the same time, takes ac-
count of the necessities of the age
and presents practical political
plans for its realization, most of
our fears will begin to leave us.
They will leave us the moment,
arising above the murk of our
fears, we can formulate a purpose
and an aim. To discover a clear,
worthy and possible national and
international aim for the next
century is the only thing worth
living for today.

intensity distrust, confusion anc
dissension.
7 SUGGEST that the basic fact
L about the twentieth century is
that il is closing an epoch, and
that the basic reason why we talk
so much about our way Of life is
because we know, subconsciously,
that our way of life is absolutely
certain to undergo great change.
And I suggest that the basis of
our fear is in our reluctance to
acknowledge the necessity OF
change and to plan that the change
shall occur as a clear-eyed act of
democratic will, rather than
through chaos and destruction.
The root of all our fears is the
fear of revolution, that is TO say,
of great changes. and the fear that
this revolution will come upon us
from without. roll over us, like a
wave, and that we shall be sub
jected to it, rather than be mas
tiers of it.
WE FEAR communism and nazi-
w ism because. first, we are
aware that things are not all right
with our own society; we fear
admitting that things are not all
right, lest the admission bolster
the case of two movements which
we detest.
We are inhibited in dealing with
our enemies, internally and exter-
nally, because we are uncertain OF
our own purpose.
We are therefore attempting to
oppose a moving body with a
static one, and we know II.
This is evident in the demand
that the British should define their
peace aims.

THE most acute observers OF
Il America. among ourselves and
from elsewhere, repeatedly COM
ment on the amount of fear that
is observable here.
It reveals itself in various ways.
most obviously. perhaps, by the
iHld apprehension excited by all
strong words and all counsels 70
actions; by a tendency on the part
Of our political leaders to withhold
facts from the people while darkly
claiming that privy knowledge Of
them compels certain policies; by
an almost universal sense of crisis
and danger, which nevertheless
does not evoke that instantaneous
and robust response characteristic
Of healthy organisms.
There Is continual eXhortation
10 unity. the eXhortations them
selves revealing The apprehension
that unity does not exist.
Whatever policy is advocated
and adopted is partially paralyzed
by the fear that it will carry evil
and dangerous results in its wake.
THUS. while there is a demand
Il for authority and indignation
in connection with the defense
program. there is fear that au-
thority and indignation will mean
dictatorship.
While there is almost universal
recognition of the wisdom and
necessity of aiding Britain, there
Is fear that such aid may result in
war and a desire to see with clair
Voyant eyes into the future in
order 10 provide. in advance, that
this policy shall stop just short of
where 1t may become dangerous
Above all. there is a fear of this
particular war that is out of all
proportion 10 any previous fears
Of war.
This nation has undergone many
wars in its history, but never be-
fore have we feared that our
whole existence, as a free and
democratic state, might pass as
the result of the war itself, no
matter what the outcome.
THERE is fear of fifth column
4 activities amongst us, but an
almost equal fear of any energetic
attempts TO deal with them.
There is fear for the preserva-
ton of civil liberties accompanied
by the apprehension that in the
protection of liberty we shall de-
stroy il.
What Is the root of these and
innumerable other fears, which
are daily expressed in our political
esSemblages and forums, in the
editorials in our press, and in the
meetings of groups and societies?
If we could formulate for our
selves the root of the fear. might
we not be somewhat liberated

No Exemptions
On Incomes
May Be Rule

WASHINGTON, July 20.
(UP)-Chairman Robert L.
Doughton, D., N. c., of the
house ways and means COM
mittee said today that a new
tax bill supplementing the $685.
100000 defense revenue program was
certainty and might invoke drasti-
cally reduced income tax exemptions
and a general sales tax.
Doughton discussed the supple
mental tax bill at a hearing before
the house rules committee. Dough-
ton is seeking right-of way for
house debate tomorrow on the So
529 100000 bill, under a rule which
would forbid consideration OF any
amendments not approved in ad-
vance by majority of his commit
tee.
The rules committee agreed with
Doughton and voted to send the
huge tax program to the house floor
tomorrow under the closed rule.
Three days of debate were al
lowed. No amendments will be al
lowed except those offered by the
ways and means committee. Lead
ers expect the bill to pass by Fri
day
"A bill of the magnitude of the
tax bill we have presented cannot
safely be written or rewritten on
the floor of the house." Doughton
said. He replied to rules committee
demands for a broader tax base
by expressing belief that a new
tax bill to meet the unprecedented
arms program would follow the pres
ent record-breaking measure.
This does not close the door"
he said. There will be another tax
bill, possibly reducing income tax
exemptions or imposing a general
consumption tax.
I'm not sure we shouldn't elimi-
nate income tax exemptions entire
Gy and make everybody pay"
Although Doughton did not go
into detail on his discussion of an
other tax bill, he apparently refer
red to tax legislation for next year
which his committee will begin to
draft this winter President Roose-
velt recently said that increased
defense spending will not require
boost in taxes until that time.

Tile customary contrast as Cne DdJUle
on an 1,000-mile front entered its
37th day.
The Nazi high command said that
all attempts of Soviet forces to
break out of encirclement around
Smolensk, 235 miles from Moscow,
had ended in disaster and that the
battle would soon be over in that
sector.
The German news agency, DNB,
presented reports of the mopping
up of Russian forces around Smo-
lensk, claiming the capture of $4,000
prisoners and 750 machineguns
around Mogilev, to the south of
Smolensk 1t said that the Russians
had made "senselsss" attempts to
break out of Nazi encircling lines
and suffered heavy losses.
| Another DNB report claimed that
a Nazi division from Bessarabia had
broken through a section of the
Stain line on the southern front,
capturing 81 Soviet bunkers in the
operation.
The report did not indicate the
exact location of the breakthrough.
1t was recalled that the German
high command about three weeks
ago claimed that the Stain line
had been broken at all decisive
points,
MOSCOW REPORTS
Russian reports said that there
were indications that fighting in
the regions of Smolensk, Newell and
zhitomir is slowing down. 1t was
pointed out that the Soviet COM
muniques in the last 48 hours have
failed to describe the fighting on
these fronts as severe" or intense"
-adjectives frequently employed in
the past.
Moscow went through a quiet
night with no Nazi air attack after
five successive nights of luftwaffe
operations over the Soviet capital
The Germans said that their al.
attack on London Sunday night was
in retaliation for repeated Royal air
force attacks on residential areas
of German cities.
London reports indicated the
German attack was only a mild al
fair compared with the severe at
tacks of last spring.
