strengthened there can be only the
Tower Of Babel which finally falls on
the builders. Prof. Hromadka put it
this way: If men cease to believe in
God, in truth, in absolute moral cri-
terra. II they cease to listen to the
revelations of the divine will, sooner
or later they begin to believe in an
impersonal fate, in instincts, in race.
blood economic interest, in power and
violence A people which will not
rid itself of that is stupid in mind
and cruel In heart. Only oblivion
can await them.
The second question presented for
answer is: What are the lines of the
new world order? Is it necessary
that wars be habitual and recur-
rent? Will the new order be goddess
or will 1t be permeated with spiritual
insight and religious idealism? How
shall this world overcome It's spir-
itual inertia? How shall society be
recreated? "As man thinketh in
his heart, so is he" The greatest
tragedies of the age are the millions
OF sick personalities whose minds
are twisted, hardened and cynical.
Is it not time that this ton,
with its pride shattered and its body
bruised, should realize that man has
not the power exclusively in himself
to build a new world? The answers
to the questions of the age are not
in man. Mans highest skills have
become self-destructive. Man is per-
verified, so is his science. His wisdom
cannot save him. Re-education cam
not save him. 1t is not in re-educa-
ton but in regeneration that his hope
lies.
This is a testing moment in hu-
man history Man is free to choose
his own fate. Never before has Al
mighty God made the issue so plain,
One way is destruction. The other
way Is life.

Shadows Over London

The Council OF Foreign Ministers,
which began its initial session in an
atmosphere of high hope, is nearing
adjournment in a veritable London
fog" of disappointment and frus-
tration. This, at least, is the vir-
tually unanimous verdict of all
competent observers, with the ex-
ception Of those from the Soviet
Union. OF course, it should be I'M
derStood that the proceedings of
the council have been held behind
closed doors and that no formal
reports have as yet been issued.
Nevertheless, the official secrecy
which has cloaked the session has
been only relative. Enough has
leaked out for competent newsmen
and political experts to form
pretty good idea of the way things
are going. And the trend looks I'M
mistakabfy like failure, not only to
settle specific questions, but even to
agree on general principles and
methods of approach to the solving
of individual problems.
1t Is this lack of a basic meeting
OF minds which is the most serious
aspect of the whole matter. And
the reason for that inability to get
together on fundamentals is only
too clear. That reason is the pro-
found and hitherto unbridgeable
gulf between the attitude and policy
OF the Soviet Union and those of
the western powers. It is the same
old story which has emerged each
time they have conferred together,
whether in the series of big Three"
top executive meetings from Tehe-
ran to Potsdam or in the confer
ences concerning postwar world re-
organization at Dumbarton Oaks
and San Francisco. During the war
this diplomatic and theological rift
could be by-passed because of the
lmpelllng necessity for military
solidarity against the common en-
envy. But now that the war has
been won, basic differences in aims
and methods between Soviet Russia
and its western associates cannot be
concealed and exercise a paralyzing
effect on constructive action.
The gravity of this situation can
hardly be overestimated Neither
should it be soft-pedaled in discus
sion and comment. The inevitable
reticences of wartime no longer
apply. Clear thinking and plain
speaking henceforth should have
top priorities in the formulation of
postwar reconstruction, especially
since the task is so crucially urgent.
AS the lawyers put it, time is of
the essence" with Europe lettering
on the verge of a chaotic winter.
with most of Asia in the melting
pot and with the atomic bomb lurk-
Ing in the background.
At so vital moment, nothing is
more dangerous Than Illusions. If
the council adjourns with nothing
more than a face-saving commu-
nique papering over the cracks of
disagreement, not merely will this
session have proved a failure, but
the very council idea will have been
substantially discredited. That would
be tragic. But the tragedy should
be honestly recognized, together
with its perilous potentialities-not
rationalized away under a cloud of
wishful thinking nor evaded by
some patchwork compromise" that
is patiently unavoidable in the long
run. We must face up to present
realities, no matter how unpalat-
able, and consider alternatives, no
matter how grim.

The difficulty about men of vision
is that they have a tendency to
become more and more visionary.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1945-09-23

In oversimplified form this challenge
may be described as the problem Of
reconciling or synthesizing the concept
of individual liberty with the concept
of governmental authority in such a
way as to preserve the liberty without
paralyzing the authority. The freedom
OF civilized man has never been abso-
lutte; he has always been obliged to sur
render some of it to society as a whole.
In the United States, for instance, a
citizen has no right to declare his indie
pendence of the income tax or resign
from social security or refuse to obey
traffic lights, nor does the guarantee of
free speech allow him to incite to riot.
Inc common good, in short, demands
that he either restrain himself or be
restrained, and in world growing ever
more complex. the likelihood is that the
restraints will increase, perhaps grad
ually over period of decades.
Yet, If mans basic liberties are to
be preserved, counterbalancing re-
straints must be placed on govern
mental authority even as that authority
grows. How big or how authoritative
can democracy let government become
without endangering itself? What new
protective checks can the individual set
up against the state as he delegates to
1t more power to plan and act and &C
cepts additional restrictions for what
he believes to be the common eood7
The questions, though broad, suggest

Nationwide Campaign Under Way
To Check Automobile Brakes

An automobile brake check pro-
gram, sponsored by the Information
al Association of Chiefs Of Police
in cooperation with government
agencies, started April Is and will
end June i. Purpose of the program
is to help save passenger cars from
the scrap heap, to maintain ade-
quate transportation for war work
ers, and to reduce traffic accidents.
In 1914, it is estimated, some ESQ.,
600 cars were strapped after they
were damaged beyond repair in ac-
cidents. To determine whether your
brakes are adequate to stop your
car in time, a simple brake check
is recommended. The check is made
by placing an object one inch thick
at the base Of the brake pedal, and
pushing down the brake pedal. If
it strikes the object before the
brakes begin to take hold, they are
inadequate and may be in danger
GUS condition. Between April Is and
June l traffic officers will check
passenger cars involved Cd in ac-
cidents, ~ in traffic violation in
which cars are moving, and 90 cars
operated in manner indicating
faulty brakes.

Western Union Will
Care For News

Arrangements have been complet-
ed by the Western Union Telegraph
Company to handle an anticipated
volume of press and other message
traffic from the United Nations
Conference at San Francisco, great
er than from any other conference
ever held in this country, it was
stated today by Evilena Haas, local
telegraph manager
With approximately 1000 news
paper correspondents sending stor-
les from the conference for month
or more, the volume of press alone
is expected to exceed the record
set by the Democratic National Con-
vcntion at New York in 1924 when
9,576,000 words OF press were tele-
graphed.
A wire room has been set up in
the Veterans Building where the
meetings will be held, and over the
wires from this room will flow the
major part of the conference trnf-
fic, both cable and domestic.
Multiplex channels are capable of
moving heavy load much faster
than direct Morse circuits, and for
that reason their use is necessary
at San Francisco.
Souvenir telegraph sending
blanks, both domestic and cable,
will be provided for use at the
conference.

MONTANA WILD FLOWERS
BY Mrs. Cole Mclnupall

think it more interesting when one
knows the common name of the
flowers. Having spent my early life
in land bordering the Atlantic |
find the spring flowers widely diff
ferent from those found inland at
this elevation. The first spring flow
er in the east was the trailing ar
butus whose fragrant florets came
IN clusters at the terminals of
branches of leaves grown the previ-
Gus year. Here the buttercup is the
first we find. Now on the south
ward slope of sunny mountain
side the beautiful Deer Tongue
appears. Some call these Easter Ill
les, and some the Dog Tooth Violet /.
| do not know their name but the
coloring is superb, petals a bright
yellow, curling back to reveal long
dark brown or vivid orange sta
mems. In contrast we find the tril-
lium growing in the damp and sha-
dy spots. They have three green
leaves and three petalled flowers,
generally white but some have a
pink shade. BY the way these also
claim Eastern Canada as their hab-
itat and / welcome a familier face
among the flower friends.
Now blooming plenitfully are the
little yellow bells Their cupped
petals closely united hang down to
form bell with stamens of the
same color which form the clapper.
They grow in abundance on the
open slopes. Sunday children were
scattered all along the mountain
sides where these flowers could be
found and many bouquets were
brought in for all to enjoy.
