Show ?!o Automatic New World There is danger in the widely J exploited idea that we will have 1 a new world with the advent of 1 eat e If the majority of our I eoplc accept this belief in the s idi l transformation of human r.-aftr , the world will be subjected subject-ed 1 1 iome strange experiences. F&r this reason Dr. Samuel E. 'W.pr.r.. chancellor of Syracuse iJniv : iity, warns that over-excited nd unsettled persons, dis-i-ppc . ted in the non-appearance ci a ew order will become re-s re-s -nt:' '. and thus the easy prey of dcm.v ogues and bigots. The seari for a scapegoat, upon v.'hi.?.. to blame the failure, will lead, .e fears, to bigotry. The danger that this man describe, de-scribe, is real. Millions of people, peo-ple, i,i the United States and olsev. i.ere, hae been assured that, when the Axis is defeated, the vvorii. will see better days. This ri.is '-.'en given as a promise not a pc s .ibility. It is expected as a i; atu i of right, in connection with sacrifices, rather than as a oal to be attained by the cooperative co-operative efforts of mankind. Thinking Americans should understand that the defeat of the Axis, which will overthrow Nazi and rpanese threats against the orderly development of human beings, will not change the nature na-ture of the men and women of the United Nations. The removal of a major peril will not, of itself, wipe jut various minor evils. The victorious conclusion of the p esent war will not give us a nev world order, or a new type of hi. man being. It will only present us with the condition imdei which progress will be possible pos-sible .but not inevitable. What ihe human race does, after the war ends, will determine what kind of world we will possess. |
