The true patriot is ever aware of these enemies, and we must awaken the rest to this murderous form of fifth columnist, 1 which never sleeps, and carries on, almost without interfere ence,the deadly work of undermining the healthand prosperity of our nation. "I nm a citizen of the great Republic of Humanity.. I see the human race united like a great Family by brotherly ties. We have sown a seed of liberty and union which will gradually spring up throughout the earth. One day, on the model of the United States of America, there will be created the United States of Europe. The United States will be the Legislator for all nationalities " The stars will jinx Hitler and Hirohito and misfortune or death will overtake Mussolini. 1943 will be a year of recko-ning and here is what is likely to occur: Lightning war will sweep Western Europe in spring. Peace with Italy by July or .early August. China will triumph in September. Revolution in Japan, with disaster for Hirohito and family. Terrible scenes of bloodshed in Berlin in December. A great rise for the Soviet system in October. An attack on Pres. Roosevelt's life. Serious industrial unrest threatening the United States The people themselves must expand the functions of gov-ernment far beyond the limitations which the cramping laws of a profit economy make possible to meet these varied human needs. We know too well how capital fights every new gov-ernment control and opposes withevery devise at its command every expenditure of public money for the masses. As be comes the citizens of a 'democracy, we must take the reins in our own hands and work out Jour own salvation. We must spend every energy at our command to spread the good news far and near that the days of scarcity are passed away and that abundance for all lies within our reach if we hold out our hands and seize it. What makes the case bad for the apologists for our present economic system is the fact that science has solved the prob-lem of economic scarcity. Also, that within the Iast decade great strides have been made in the knowledgejof food science and the routing of disease. It would seem as if these twotri-umph- s over the woes of mankind would bring ajgnew 'feral f health and happiness and prosperity. One wise man says: "No one worries about Christ as long as they keep Him shut up in the churches, but there is always trouble if you tryto let Him out." Yes,o when they begin to take Him out into the business and social world then the trouble bagins. When religious leaders lead the people to demand state control and parceling out of land, national con trol of all natural resources, doing away with interest and profit, leveling class distinctions, helping and stabilizing the poor, or, rather making conditions so that there will be no poor, then howls come up from the reactionaries and they say the teachings of Jeaui cannot be taken into industry and business, they are only for the churches and Sunday. '"There is an awakening to the fatal in any system of life like that of the Nineteenth Century, that preaches brotherhood and practices The spirit-itua- l revolution consists in an awakened sense that st must not any longer be the mainspring of life, but that the common interest must from now on be increasingly paramount." The world is suffering now, and will continue to suffer because murderer's row in the U.S. senate executed the means which an inspired leader gave to men that they might save themselves from war. Wilson's fourteenth point must yet be adopted. "A general association of nations must be formed by definite agreements offering mutual guarantees of political independence and territorial integrity, both to small and large States. " "This war is a fight for the human decencies. In the first place, we have been shocked awake by persecutions of the Jews, by the monstrocity of race discrin, ination and enslave-ment. AH over the world there is an aroused sensitivity to the value of people as people The ugliness of race superior ty is on l he way out. Just before the League of Nations was created, H. G. Wells wrote these prophetic words: ''Mote and more does the choice stand out between a League of free Nations, or the pros-pects of a famished human race ransacking the smoking ruins of civilization in search of a vanished sustencane.'' We rejoice when we read or hear of great men giving voice to the ideas we long Jiave been setting forth Now comes Professor and Author Harry Overstreet with the following views: "We are living at the end of one civilization Thia period marks the end of economic man and the beginning of the modern type of spiritual man.
