FIGHTING EQUIPMENT

| granting more rights, privileges, and
responsibilities And it involves rec
ognizing the former servant and pupil
as an equal and fellow searcher for
the truth.
Reaction fears the freeing of the
common man and accepting him as
an equal. It's chief aim must be that
Of holding on to the status quo-the
condition of things as they were. To
additional right, every additional step
towards security for the common man
means less chances for reaction to
exploit.
So reaction can point backward to
the good old days associated with our
traditions, attitudes, and mores. De-
mocracy must point ahead to the I'M
known, untrodden paths of the future
On the first rounds reaction has the
advantage. But as the battle pro-
crosses the issues become better
known and more examined, it becomes
a battle on fundamental principles
when slogans are relegated to the
background. Then Democracy has the
advantage, for it developed education.
DEMOCRACY needs time and training.
Reaction must depend for victory on
a succession of quick short campaigns
concluded before the masses hardly
know exactly what took place.
To make the case still more spe-
cific, we might consider the question
of full employment. 1t takes some
study and research and the breaking
of bonds of tradition to see that some
thing unprecedented must take place
to assure steady employment with
adequate wages for all able bodied
workers.
Efficiency in making machines, |
skilled workers and the demand for
potts makes it impossible and unde-
sirable for private enterprise to pro-
vide full employment at adequate
wages to repurchase the goods pro-
duced.
But reaction need not discuss scien-
tifically this cold fact. 1t generalizes,
on the merits of the American way,
private enterprise, without coming
to issue on the principal point of what
is required to provide full Employment
and to settle this or any of the other
specific problems.

BY ]. M. PETERSON


In a short military conflict, victory
has generally belonged to the side
having the best equipment for waging
battle If the war becomes a long
drawn-out affair accompanied by much
suffering and deprivation at home the
spirit of the people begins to count
proportionately more.
The longer the war drags out, the
greater the need for the crusading
spirit-a moral conviction that victory
is more important than anything else.
In the battle of ideas between de-
mocracy and reaction which is in
reality a contest for the consent of
the great masses, fighting tools are
Just as necessary. Furthermore as
the contest drags out, the fundamen-
tai principles involved become better
known and the moral convictions
come to count more heavily.
With respect to fighting irons" or
equipment, in the contest over ideas
between reaction and democracy the
former has one immediate and distinct
advantage in the first rounds.
Democracy must depend on educa-
ton for meeting new situations; the
proponents of the onward march of
the common man must violate tradi-
ton, prejudice, and mores; the de-
tenders of democracy must face the
danger of being charged with the sin
of asking for breaking with the past
-"transgressing the paths of the
fathers" Democracy requires new
ideas; constant change, new respon-
sibilities; new restrictions; strange
pathways. Its fighting tools are the
slow, tedious process at educating the
masses inherently longing and group
ing for security yet fearful of change.
Here reaction has the immediate adj
vantage Because reaction is opposed
to the little fellows getting more in
dependent, possessing more self re-
spect, achieving security, and more
participation in the social and eco
nomic world, it does not have to goad
the past. 1t does not have to adj
VOcate strange paths. 1t does not
need to depend on educating on the
fundamental principles involved.
On the other hand reaction can and
does use as its chief tool an appeal
to the cherished past-tradition pref
udices of race, religion and nation; it
can and does appeal to mans natural
fear of the new; and at least for the |
immediate time does not need to
argue on the basis of fundamental prin-
ciples This immediate advantage en-
joyed by reaction can be appreciated
only by keeping in mind the nature
Of the opposing forces and the goal
of each.
Democracy is faith in the worth
of the individual; that the common |
man has the potential power and de-
sire to make his own decisions and |
to he his own master in social, eco
nomic, and political matters. 1t is a
belief that he can achieve this goal
only by assuming more participation
in every phase of life. This in turn
means that those who have employed,
ruled, and exploited the common man
must forever be conceding, giving in, !
