Banker Speaks

discipline of some sort in each
major aspect of its life. The al
ternatives are narchy and
chaos. In the social order. as
with the individual, the means
by which discipline is applied
plays a fundamental role in de
termiring the character of life.
Free men discipline them
selves; slaves are disciplined, :"
the commencement speaker de-
clared He cited Russia and
Cuba as two nations with the
same basic aspire tions for
a better life for their citizens
which have chosen discipline I'M
posed by the state.
What price freedom, he asked

essential to the preservation Of
society. and whether a society is

employed, not the ends sought, -"
he declared.

preserve a free society? then
