some people simply will not read

Solving of Todoy's
Problems Coils For
Great Craftsmanship
BY Chas. ID. Rowe

Seldom if ever in the history of
the world has there been so great a
need for outstanding craftsmanship
as there is today.
The problems that must be solved
wisely are stupendous. The entire
world is in the midst of political
and social revolution. The economic
life of Europe and Asia is PROSTATE
One could say almost non-existent.
That of the rest of the world IS
badly out of tune because of the
war. Millions of people are hungry
poorly clothed. and without hope.
Under such conditions men are
prone to grasp at any scheme, no
matter how radical, if it promises
relief from their miseries. They
are also prone to blame past gov
ernments for their sufferings. In
many instances, such blame is JUS
titled. Because of this, radicalism IS
in the saddle over much of the
world The drift is definitely to
the left.
That drift shouldn't be feared if
it is wisely directed. In many ways
it is merely a manifestation of man.
kinds age-old struggle for better
living conditions and more Of the
good things of life. Reforms are
long past due throughout much of
the world. Too many of the human
race still live in virtual slavery.
The present danger is that in seek
ing for a better way of life, men
will embrace radicalism that
merely exchanges one form of des-
potism for another, and that in
adopting communism they will
eventually find themselves under as
bitter RECOMMENDATION as that from
which they sought to escape.
Today the world needs true states
nanship in its leaders Because the
problems are so stupendous and
the dangers so very real. the crying
need is for unselfish and highmina-
ed leadership. Today the world
again needs a Gladstone, a Disraeli,
a Washington, Jefferson or Lin
coin. Perhaps we are too close to
present leaders to judge them cor
rectly and to appraise them justly.
But because the need is SO im-
portant, It is to be devoutly hoped
that they will measure UP to the
great test that confronts them. We
can only live in hope.
