A minimum of 810,000,000 is being sought throughout the country to alleviate the suffering of Europes innocent victims of war. As one of the few remaining nations enjoying peace and security in a world of chaos, the United States is in a position to extend a strong hand of sympathy. And if we are to cope with distress that grows hourly, this must be done both swiftly and generously. Each fresh movement of troops lengthens the shadow of terror, hunger, orphanhood and homelessness. Fortunately, mercy is of a flexible nature. Unlike other forms of human expression it can be translated into effective action by dollars and cents. Those whose homes lie in the path of marching armies are in need of purchasable succor the simple necessities of food, clothing and medical treatment The American Red Crass is the logical channel through which the people of this country should express their deep concern for the plight of women, children and aged in Europes war zones. Through the prompt and efficient manner in which the Red Cross has met the great disasters made by man and nature, its emblem has become the symbol of hope for millions of sufferers. At home we have seen its great army of volunteers working tirelessly at the scene of flood, tornado meeting .constantly the challenge of human want. Already the American Red Cross has spent $1,500, 000 for the relief of Europes suffering. In doing so, it has received $800,000 in spontaneous contributions; the balance has been taken from its reserve funds. In addition, chapter volunteers have produced a half million articles of clothing and more than two million surgical dressings. With the invasion of new countries, overwhelming needs are being reported daily. They are manifest reasons why a general appeal must be made to the nation. It is a challenge sympathetic Americans should answer promptly and generously. Tills week Utah County Is raising $2,000 for war relief. Provo is asked for $1,000 of that amount All agencies and service clubs are cooperating. UuX it Fm OF DEMOCRACY Hitler scoffs at Democracy. He has counted on its slowness and inefficiency and has so far over-ru- n Europe, "blitzkrieging" his way over Poland, Norway, Holland, and Belgium, aided by his "fifth column' which is a most effective weapon in democratic countries, for they are traditionally lax in "eliminating" spies, saboteurs, and such. But you cannot kill Democracy1 that way. It is a thing of slow growth, but very sturdy, and survives where hatreds, espionage, and die- tatorshlp at last fall of their own evils. Democracy does something for all humanity, not just for the countries which adopt it. Like Christianity, it blesses those who oppose it, with the same blessings it vouchsafes to its own admirers. Slavery is a child of dictatorship but it cannot exist under the spirit of democracy. It existed for centuries under all forms of government, pagan, Moslem, Roman Catholic, and even Protestant kings and rulers supporting it as a necessary part of But 150 years ago the concept changed, under the democratic thinking of Britain, and. the theories of the Greek repubic were expanded to include all people as citizens. The age of despotism was on its way out. The French Revolution did its part, and Britian and France became the first to abolish slavery. Country after country followed, and continent after continent, until slavery was eliminiated. r Serfdom likewise is a product of despotism and existed for centuries in the Old World, the majority of being tied Europes people being serfs, hand and foot to the land upon which they worked, subject to their masters. The French Revolution abolished serfdom In 1789, but it had already disappeared from England, and then Saxony, Austria, Hungary, Russia, and Rumania followed the French example. Its elimination was merely the result of sinister economic forces being removed. Today those same forces are rising again In the Hitler program, and whole nations are becoming serfs to his war machine. Education is another fruit of democracy, once again the blessing being granted even to its enemies. Charlemagne, the greatest emporer of the Middle Ages, could neither read nor write. Even 100 years ago most Russians were 100 per cent illiterate. Prior to 1800 Europe ' bad no free schools. The tools of education were possessed almost exclusively by the Church. Higher education was entirely theological, and the masses were utter-ly ignorant. But the last century has brought about a marvel-- : lous change, with the distinguishing mark between do- -' mocrades and autocracies being elementary schools, for ' five schools and public education thrive in democracies. ' Although autocratic governments attempt a form of training and public education, they can not be called free schools", being controlled both in curriculum and ' staff by the interests of the ruling class. Another fruit of democracy is "housing programs" which have given to the people homes instead of hovels, and removed them from the same quarters as their miwmU- - Again this blessing has spread to autocratic but the democracies were the forces which brought lands, ' better housing to the western world, and gave self-- 1 respect to the masses of the people. Still another fruit of democracy best exemplified in countries as Denmark and Holland, and in recent years, spreading rapidly in America, is the cooperative move- ment. Babson, this week, tells us the world is looking to Cooperatives, Instead of Communism, Fascism, or ' State Capitalism, as the solution to its economic Ills. Whether Mr. Babson is right or not does not alter the fact that "cooperation" is a fruit of democracy of very slow growth. Centuries have passed while people have been learning the lesson of cooperation. We hardly have begun to understand it yet We have in England vast Consumer cooperatives, which have outstripped the ' Chain stores of America as economical distribution ' agents, and the same principles are now being applied over America in solving the problems of the buyer and ' the insurthe seller; the employer and the ance problem, and even the problem of health. In all these fields, wherever the people catch the vision of the true cooperative, they are solving their economic problems that way which is the most fundamental form of democracy. ? Mass organization and mass participation, which Is the essence of democracy, have also brought about a consciousness of "social security" which is sweeping the world today. Its pressure no doubt animated fascism, ; and created Hitler and Mussolini, their people feeling that democracy could never solve this dire need. . But the welfare of mothers, needy children, unem-- r ployed, aged, and all such social problems are basically a concern of democracies, and will be solved only by a government by the people and for the people. Dictator ships may flaunt their accomplishments before the world . ht times, but ruination and degradation of the people wfll follow in their wake. Social Security is eminently n' a fruit of democracy, which will wilt and die before it readies the flower stage In a dictatorship land. I : ; : state-hoo- d.
