AN OPEN MIND
BIZ the Rioht Reu James E. Freeman D, LII. d. c. L.,
Bishop OF Washington.

There is an instance in the history
Of an ancient nation where armed and
aggressive forces are suddenly brought
to an abrupt stop by the calm judgment
of a comparatively small body of highly
reflective and clear -visoned leaders.
The latter are described as men that
had understanding of the times who
knew what the people ought to do, "and
all their brethren were at their COM
mand"
The terrible misery Of our time is
directly traceable to the leadership of
men of deranged and bigoted minds.
Under their seductive power strong ma
tions have been made a menace to the
rest of the world Here is startling
and tragic exhibition of the evil that
proceeds from closed or malformed
mind. 1t constitutes warning to the
world. If we of America can keep our
minds open to the meaning and signifi-
canoe of events; if we can keep our
heads, while all about are losing theirs"
We shall preserve to the generations that
are to follow country strong and stable,
capable of resisting every evil that may
assail it.
In the realm of religious opinions and
convictions there is a stronger reason
for mental poise and the open mind.
When Christs disciples sought to inter-
dict one who was not of their chosen
group, and sought the Masters praise
for their loyalty, He rebuked them, say
ing: Forbid him not, for he that is not
| against us is for U.S." Zeal for a con-
| viction, loyalty to cause does not pre-
| clude generosity and kindness OF judg-
ment in dealing with those of differing
| opinions. A principle or a cause is best
| set forward by those whose loyalty is
| disclosed by an action that is freed from
bias and bigotry. Christs dealing with
those who were the social outcasts, the
"untouchables" OF His people, Is the
noble example for His followers
| In the days that lie immediately ahead
there will be no room for men and
women of the closed mind In eco
nomics,, in social and race relations, in
political action, and notably in religion,
the open mind is the only mind that
can preserve to US the choice things OF
| life

CopitoI SideIights
By viii P. Kennedu.

There was just one President, John
Adams. out of 81 during 153 years, who
officially declared his own election. Not
only that, but Adams presided over the
count of the electoral votes, opened and
read the certificates, which showed that
he himself had received just one more
than the necessary number for election
while Jefferson had two less than
majority. Adams prompt announce
ment of his own success is attributed by
historians to the fact that rejection of
the four votes of Vermont, which had
been questioned, would have meant
Adams defeat and Jefferson's election.
No less person than James Madison,
then House member from Virginia, had
written to Jefferson on January 8. 1897:
If the Vermont votes be valid, Mr..
Adams will have II and you &c." The
Legislature Of Vermont had appointed
electors, but 1t was contended that these
appointments were invalid because the
State Legislature had not previously
passed a law directing how the ap-
pointments should be made The ques-
ton. however, was not raised in Con-
gress nor at the joint meeting for
counting the electoral votes, presumably
because the objectors were not sure Of
their ground and did not know how to
to his wife concerning the Inauguration,
Adams said: "It was the sublimest thing
ever exhibited in America"
The magic of Grand Coulee Dam,
eighth wonder Of the world, which be-
gan pouring its beneficient water on
June !, has been depicted to Congress
by Representative Charles H. Leavy. He
reviews the vision and the drive of
pioneers for this stupendous engineer
ing feat-suggested first by William
Clapp, lawyer of Ephrata Wash; sup
ported earnestly by Rufus Woods, editor
and publisher of Wenatchee, Wash, and
Jim" O'Sullivan, who gave his fortune
and best years as a disciple for this
benefaction. 1t took eight years for an
army OF men working days and nights
numbering as many as $500, to build
this dam. The waterfall is five city
blocks wide about third of mile; as
high as 31-story building, about twice
as high as Niagara Falls, equal in height
to the famous Victoria Falls in South
Africa. The waterfall surface is ap-
proximately IS acres. It's flow is 1,500,-
900 gallons to 2,475,o00 gallons per sec
ond-depending on the flood peak Of the
Columbia River. 1t would fill an aver
age big league baseball park IL feet
deep in quarter of minute. It pro-
vides every man, woman and child In
the United States with 40 gallons OF
water an hour. Water already i'm
pounded in reservoir 40 miles lons
and two miles wide, covering 72,50O
acres, would cover the New England
States to depth OF two nches-and
this reservoir is to be enlarged.

however. are going to demand and prob
ably to receive a larger voice In shaping
the policies and in operating the ma
chinery Of control over industry and
other individuals.
The military view obviously is that the
time is ended in the United States for
delay and argument and half measures.
The war is going very badly, worse even
than the pessimists had predicted, and a
bad turn in the war only brings nearer
the time when military demands must be
recognized above all others. It still re-
mains true that the civilians who now
operate the machinery Of control over
the American war effort have avoided
taking steps that Hitler took nearly 10
years ago when he started to mobilize
Germany for war.
1t is very doubtful II this country can
long continue to try to fight a modern
war without organizing for that job.
When the real organization starts the
military viewpoint Is likely to dominate.
That viewpoint, however, will be ex-
pressed through civilian managers who
will be expected to continue to hold the
key positions In the organization that
deals with industrial and civilian mobtl-
i8stion.

Christ in Plaster

y
easy for gifted sculptor to create a
monumental statue of the Saviour of
Mankind as the Light of the World
How difficult such an assignment is
in terms of fact has been demon
strated during the past several weeks.
Plaster models submitted by sixty
four different artists in competition
conducted by the Liturgical Arts
Society, Incorporated, for the Ma
tional Catholic Welfare Conference,
have been judged by jury of ac-
knowledged experts. Three of the
participants are to be given further
opportunity to produce figure noble
enough, beautiful enough to symbol
ize the Power and the Majesty of
the Living God as once He walked
the earth.
OF course, the challenge of work
so sacred must be compelling. Each
Of the sculptors accepting the orig
inal invitation is credited with ap-
preaching his task with profound and
sympathetic reverence The rules
were the same for each, the materials
the same, the conditions of endeavor
largely the same. Even the vision,
breathing semblance of the Holiest
identic in the experience of each
competitor. The fulfillment, how
ever, necessarily differed. AS might
perhaps have been expected, the
whole wide range Of spiritual inter-
probation is represented in the figures
offered for consideration. Some con-
ceptions are frankly secular, others
so ephemeral as to seem wraithlike.
But the fruits of the labors of the
siXty-four artists are demonstra-
ton of the appeal of their subject to
the imagination of modern men and
women. None among them Is a
Michelangelo, none Donatello, none
a Thorwaldsen or Bartholdi. AS a
group, however, they are not un-
worthy of their inheritance. Their
problem, it has been suggested, was
basically technical. Quickly, they
learned that clay is clay-not an
electric medium to be waved into the
semblance of the Holiest Person the
world has ever known.
Nothing conclusive has been de-
cided. The jury has met, studied the
available models, made it's recon-
mendations, returned home; the
lofty niche on the front Of the Ma
tional Catholic Welfare Conference
Building in Massachusetts, avenue
remains empty, perhaps for the du-
ration of the war; the perfect efagy
of Our Lord may be altogether i'm
possible of achievement; meanwhile,
the quest for the ultimate goes on
and thus the whole adventure of
Man in the Universe is dramatized
anew. 1t is the glory of the Church
and the happiness of its people that
the striving is not finished in any
time or place nor by any soul. Christ
grows, He is elusive, but the human
spirit courageously seeks Him as He
wished when He said: Follow Me-"

Kinq Huukon's Birthday

The people of the United States
have always admired the Viking spirit
of courage. adventure and hardness
which drew Norsemen to the shores
of America long before Columbus
made his epic voyage. Through the
centuries since the Vikings daring
trans Atlantic journey the Viking
spirit has not died. 1t flames each
day in modern Norway, where the
German know, to their unhappiness,
what is the miserable lot of despised
conquerors. The strength of this re-
sistance in Norway is increased by
the stern righteousness of the Nor
wegians' King, Haakon VII, who cele-
brates his 10th birthday anniversary
tomorrow.
King Haakon is in London, but his
voice goes over the North Sea and
the Atlantic to Norway, and 1t is the
voice of hope and reinsurance. THE
liberty and independence OF the Nor
weeian people are for me the first
commandment Of the Constitution" j."
King Haakon said in June, 1910, when
he rejected a German-inspired pro-
posal that he abdicate. Il consider
I am best obeying this commandment
and watching over the interests OF
the Norwegian people by adhering to
the position which a free people gave
me in 1905" In that year the Nor
wegians, newly freed from union with
Sweden, invited Prince Carl OF Den
mark to be their King. Accepting, ne
took the name Haakon to signify his
intention of emulating the medieval
Norwegian monarch who has gone
down in history as Haakon the Good
The throne of the Norwegians can
be sat upon comfortably only by a
man Of great tact and understanding

and independent, have short patience

The true characteristic OF eff1cient
thinking is the open mind. Now and
again we speak of one whose outlook
upon life and events is narrowed and
distorted by an incapacity to evaluate
men and things by reason of closed
mind" The implication is that he is
unreceptive to changed and changing
conditions, that his mind lacks flexibil-
ity and right understanding OF human
values. One may survive such state in
normal periods where the even tenor of
life is unaffected by untoward events; 1t
is less possible when the course Of life
Is interrupted and traditional standards
of Judgment undergo mighty changes.
This applies to every aspect Of life We
inherit many of our opinions and fixed
judgments from early environing condi-
tions and early associations. strong
personality, persuasive teacher, small
group of strong-minded classmates,
these and other influences have a ten
dency to give bent and direction to
thinking and formed convictions, especi-
ally in early life. Political bias. religious
CUilN1CoAOklo, sOSldl anu CSOilOillC PACol-
lections, these have their genesis under
conditions where the mind is plastic and
responsive. Few men past middle life
find it easy to change their judgments
and PHILOSOPHERS, hence a world of men
and women with closed or partially
closed minds.
BE ready, always, to give an answer
to every man that asketh you, reason
OF the hope that is in you," is the admo-
milton Of a great teacher. To give rea-
son does not mean to invoke feelings or
emotions. Reason transcends opinions
and surmises. The feelings and emo
tions will always play part in life's
convictions. but where they are un-
governed or unrestrained by reason they
lead to bad judgments narrowness and
frequently to unfortunate situations
The abnormal days through which we
are passing lay claim upon minds and
wills that are strong, that are capable of
dispassionate and calm judgments and
decisive actions. In no place is this
more urgently needed than In our
religious and political thinking. Mob
judgments are dangerous and narrow
bigoted judgments are perilous.

for monarchical frummery. That
Haakon is a hero from Skaggerrack
to North Cape after thirty-seven
years as Norway's King is testament
enough to his craftsmanship and wis
dom. In such a difficult time as this
the King personifles all the Nor
wegian people He has not let them
down before the world. He has been
brave and spirited and hardy, like
the Vikings.

United States is really to get into the
war.
For one thing, this country has been
placing emphasis upon turning out mer-
chant ships. 1t has been falling behind
IN production Of escort ships that would
protect merchant ships from attack. So
the new merchant ships and their car
goes sail out with inadequate protection
to be sunk by submarines.
For another thing, the United States
went all out for battleships In the early
days Of the war. Armor plate that might
have gone into tanks or into other more
Immediately useful ships was poured into
battleships that even admirals admit may
be obsolete as at present designed So
tank production is likely to slow and the
lag continues in output Of anti submarine
craft.
For third thing, this country delayed
for long time In making up Its mind
concerning the type Of airplanes upon
which to concentrate. The result Is that
big-scale production in the kinds OF
planes now most. needed Is not so i'm
pressive as the figures on overall air.
plane production might suggest.
Only now are officials talking about q
closer link between production OF war
materials and the broad strategic plan
| for using those materials. This means
that there is going to be clashing OF
gears and a new wave OF argument rs an
effort is made to adjust war production
to the strategy Of the war. Civilian
ofncials are going to try to retain their
