Looking out of my window, I see the shaft of the monument to Washington. 1 think of Valley Forge, and wonder how those who now lament and wring their bauds would have enjoyed that winter. This Is Washingtons bicentennial. It Is time for a new reckoning, a new re-- ' sponslbllity, a new courage. During the winter past many a good man, willing and able to work, has gone through a hell of unemployment and uncertainty. Remembering that, we may also find that some good, along with the evil, comes out of all depressions. 1 am not a stranger to depressions. Economists tell us that the panic of 1873 was the closest analogy which history furnishes to our present trouo business bles. My father, a man and farmer In Missouri, .was caught In that general disaster. I was Just thirteen years old. One day my father told me the jvhole story.

They have been allowed-tencroach upon us largely through our own carelessness and neglect of duty as citizens. ' . In the battle against them the average citizen is at a disadvantage because he is unprepared; he is willing enough,' but he is bewildered.- He doesnt yet realize that he himself- is primarily to blame, hence he is taking no serious part in the conflict. By average citizen I mean a great many men to whom we should look for lead- FOURTEEN- self-seeki- f ever-increasi- ably write that military axiom Into Its books f(r the years to come. . We have made two' other military plunders. We . began by. underestimating the strength of the enemy, and progressed from that to' overestimating it. . The cry, "We are Just turning the corner, of 1929 30, was the equivalent of We will "have the boys out of. the trenches by Christmas! of 1914-1And oilr This country Is going to the dogs,, of 1932 Is the equivalent of The Central Powers are Invincible of March, 1918..' I have heard leading men, given over to fear, prate of nations failure,. bankruptcy, and . - ment The other duy I was talking to a substantial business man from New York. We were discussing an Issue of Increased taxation then up before the house of representatives. "By the way," I said, who Is the representative from yu district? He grinned sheepishly. I dont know, he said. My friend pays a goodly share of taxes to support the government and yet he doesnt know who votes for him on the tax question. He relies on a substitute" and doesn't even know who the substitute 1st This Is something of a retrogression from an earlier period. When our government was founded, our forefathers did not let unknowns represent them. They made It their business f.q know all about the character and achievements of the men they elected to public office. Then the outstanding men In the country took part In polities, and most of the high positions were held . by them. Political leaders, then, were chosen by the voters. Now, through the apathy of the voters, they are often chosen by other politicians. Changing Social Life. This change Is partly due to our changing social life. Many of us do not even know our next door neighbors. But It Is a manifestation of a deeper and more sinister change the tendency of the average citizen to let somebody else do his thinking for him. That tendency threatens the very foundations of democracy. Let some one else do the thinking. .That easy doctrine Is Injuring us not only In politics but In other fields. Under It crime flourishes and business languishes. Some international bankers, since the war, have been careless In lending other peoples money on foreign securities. Others have been charged with something worse than carelessness. But the citizens who, against sound business principles, put up the money were not without blame. In their eagerness for gain, they too often refused to think for themselves. They preferred to delegate that task to some one else. It was well knowu to all who read the newspapers that certain governments had already defaulted on debts to their own people. Greedy Investors did not balk because of that, but cheerfully put up billions to loan to states, municipalities, and Industries of those same governments. This is not an essay on economics. I am not an economist. I did not fore-se-e the depression, nor do I know when It Is going to end. though past experience teaches me the upturn ts hound to come, perhaps slowly, perhaps suddenly when we least expect it No matter how sure you are of victory. never fail to make full provision for a reverse." This rule Is axiomatic with every capable military leader, but It was Ignored by most of our business leaders during the boom years. Few made plans for anything except triumphant advance from one objective to another. Many burned their bridges behind them. TheD the advance was halted and the recession began. It cannot be said that they were to blame for that recession, for apparently our puny human minds have not yet solved the riddle of the business cycle. They were to blame for having made no plans to keep the retreat from turning into a rout Business might profit dull--nes- et offl-pe- - ership, as well as the larger number who possess no qualifications for It. In fact, .too often do citizens of all classes assume thut politics,, and crime, and even economics, are no business of theirs. It does not occur to them that they are, every one, indl vidually, responsible Why Is It that patriotism burns so brightly' In times of war, so dimly In times of pence! It Is just as necessary in meeting the complex obligations of peace, but these obligations do not stir the Imagination like the primitive emotions of war. The average citizen feels that, somehow, the problems of peace will be solved for him, and falls to realize the possibility that calamity may result from his own Indifference. Still Can Be Proud. We hnve as much reason now as we had fourteen years ago to feel proud of our country and to love It. We believe, with some Justice, that it is the greatest republic In the history of the world. Under no flag in the world does a people enjoy more freedom or find greater happiness. We boast of public education, universal suffrage, liberty of speech and the press. We enjoy rights undreamed of In ancient Greece and Rome. Yet even with the Bounder principles upon which to base the hope of permanence of our Institutions, we too may some day go down, as did these older republics, unless we recognize and live up to our civic obligations.
