We ignore the fact I hat what we see stands out BEi4' ' CAUSE of what lies behind it. ^ ^ The world crisis, this global [- - cannot understand unless we ex-.. amine the background. * > "They" say that history re- I . L peats itself. <After all against the T back drop of time what has hap- i J pened to us is not unique. Noth-4 ing ever happens that has not , S happened before. As Walter Lipp-, man reminded us recently if those who start revolutions would'only realize the fate of those who pre- 1 ceded them, they would probably stay at< home and tend to their knitting. There have been changes hefore. The tide of history rises and . ebbs?-as immutably as the tides of the sea". Little by little man i learns to progress. Little by lit tie he demands more from life. | There are eddies and backwaters j in nistory, 01 course, hut they are temporary and never Mock foi ] long the onrush of the main cur- I C rent. __ Tyranny and despotism, no mat ter in what color they cloak them ' ?-j- aelve^r- aio- but the?l?twl.-w:i^h <>f j the tidal march of man. Again t 'n- and again they have appeared in j history to he overthrown by a rev- [ nlution of the left or right (led by I. the young, for 'oidy the young 1 gf' make revolutions). Then tiie rev J olution in turn eddied into nothing few? and a pertOTl" of steady~tarni wmrfc -V ^ ing life succeeded it. When pros ! ?' perity became stagnant the same. ?
