And before the start of the campaign to raise something: over $20,000 is the time for all citizens to think about the obligations and opportunities involved in supporting the drive for funds to the part icipat injr agen cies. We urpe the people of the community to pet solidly behind the effort and see to it that apencies have sufficient funds for then- continued operation during the coming year. The World’s Last Hope The United States did more than make democracy function on a hupe scale: it emerged in the 20th Century as the un disputed leader of the democratic world. The American people did not seek this oppres sive responsibility. In fact, we fled from it in 1919, after World W’ar I ended. Kut in our science-shrunken world of today, we can not escape it: we are locked on the center of a plobal stage. Into our hands has l»een trust the torch of leadership for a free world. If we fall, all the other democratic' nations will fall. But if the crisis is formidable, so are we. In generations past we resolutely faced ami overcame menaces as dangerous as those of today. There is no need to yiekl to » wave of defeatism, or abjectly hoist the white flap of surrender. We must create events, not bow to them. America can fulfill her lofty mission as the foremost champion of the free world— if she will. But we must recapture much of the drivipg faith that we had in democracy during the early years of the Republic,! when, to the monarchial world, the most feared “isms" w f ere American constitutional ism. republicanism, and liberalism. The United States was once a revolutionary force in a world of revolutionism^ We should re- mem tier that we cannot combat dangerous all. by local government or private enter- puns, but only with better ideologies, prop erly communicated. We must learn to live with chronic crisis. We must seek to reconcile a maximum of lib erty with a maximum of security. We must strive to preserve our precious freedoms without strangling them to death in an ef fort to protect them from outside foes. We must not permit truth and thought to be come captive in the Land of the Free. What shall it profit a nation if, to safeguard its democracy it destroys its democracy? The U'st way to preserve it is to practice it. To Ik- an American is not only a rare privilege but, in these troubled times, a tre mendous responsibility.
