period of American history--a
period more critical and beset
with more acute problems than
ever before. The struggle between
East and West still rages-a strug-

ideologies and PHILOSOPHERS. They
are in conflict today and will al
ways be in conflict until We and
the rest of the world find a working
basis toward peace-a basis form

were necessary in 1887. In closing,
Mr.. Rogers said that the same
spirit must prevail if world
peace is to be won at long last.

ales Rogers Traces Major
Trends In Address To
Kiwanians

In cautioning that the foundation
of world peace begins at the level
of every community and that 1t
lies within the power of every in
dividual to work along the lines OF
brotherly love and thus help
America face the new era upon
which we have embarked, James
Rogers, Whiteville newspaperman,
traced for the Wilmington Kiwanls
club yesterday, the American
struggle to obtain democracy and
the part this nation must play Ii
world peace is to be achieved.
Taking as his subject, 1.-The
new Era-America Facing the New
World" Roger pointed out that
the world of today is not the world
of Washington, Jefferson, Adams,
jackson or Theodore Roosevelt.
That America during the years,
has gone through two periods OF
thought and progress - n that
could have begun in ITS or on
April Both, 1889 when Washington
was inaugurated and which was
the real beginning of a great pollti-
cal experiment.
Recalling the four months of de-
bate which preceded the signing
of the U. S. Constitution, the speak
err pointed out that never before
or since, has any body polite.
been able to strike such a balance
between liberty and union such as
was achieved in 1877. The real
test of that balance, he said, came
during the Civil War period and the
outcome of that struggle proved
democracy could work and survive.
Tracing events that followed in
a broad way, the speaker emphas-
lied that early builders of Ameri-
ca saw the expanding Of a small
nation to Western empire and rea-
lized that the world was hourly
growing larger. Quite the reverse,
however is true today, Mr.. Rogers
reminded his audience. For in
stead of growing larger, the world
today is getting smaller hour by
hour as time passes and it is this
new kind of world the America Of
today is facing-a world where the
barriers of political isolation are
gone.
The beginning of the second stage
in American history, the speaker
said, began with World I. Up tt
that time, every citizen knew
America as a strong nation intern.
ally. The war caused us to test
our strength and that balance be.

and our citizens met that crisi.
and preserved our democracy. Blu
