Mr. Lippmann’s article is well worth the reading is reprinted herewith by special permission from the Herald Tribune. It is as [ollows of everyone. It THE FALSE GODS From what source comes these unmanly fears that prevail among us? These dark forebodings? This despairing impotence? What is it that has shaken the nerves of so many? It is the doubt whether there exists among the people that trust in each other which is the first condition of intelligent leadership. The particular projects which we debate so angrily are not so important. The fate of the nation does not hang upon any of them. But upon the power of the people to remain united for purposes which they respect, upon their capacity to have faith in themselves and in their objectives, much de- pends. It is not the facts of the crisis which we have to fear. They can be endured and dealt with. It is demoralization alone that is dangerous. A demoralized people is one in which the individual has become isolated and is the prey of his own suspicions. He trusts nobody and nothing, not even himself. He believes nothing, except the worst of everybody and everything. He sees only confusion in him- self and conspiracies in other men. That is panic. That is disintegration. That is what comes when in some sudden emergency of their lives men find themselves unsupported by clear convictions that transcend their im- mediate and personal desires. . . B The last ten years have been a time of exceptionally drastic change in the underly- ing convictions of western men. For reasons which it is not easy to state briefly or even clearly to discern, it seems as if in this de- cade the change in life brought about by sclence and machinery and the modern city, by democracy and by popular education, had struck with full impact and with cumu- lative force against the traditional morality, the social conventions and the ideals of the mass of men . . . That a period of profound spiritual be- wilderment had to ensue was inevitable. But this bewilderment has been greatly aggra- vated in the United States by what I believe may truthfully be called the moral apathy of those in high places. At the beginning of the decade the national Government was at- tacked by brutal and conspicuous corruption. No clear word about it was spoken by those in high places. - On the contrary, they sat silent, hoping that the people would forget, calculating that the evil would be overlooked Is it surprising that public spirit weakened when it was demonstrated from the highest places that the corruption of Government was not something any one ought to care deeply about? . . . During this decade the country has been making the experiment of outlawing an an- cient and general human appetite. Those in high places have known quite well how badly the experiment was working, what stu- pendous lawlessness and corruption the Pro- hibition law was producing. Yet in all this time no candid word, no straightforward ut- terance, no honest inquiry about this matter The prob- has come from any high place. lem has been muffed in hypocrisy, in miser- able ambiguities, and in equivocation, to a point where any open, public debate of the matter has become impossible. During this same decade those in high places have steadfastly preached to the peo- ple that it was their destiny to have two- car garages and eight-tube radio sets. That was the ideal they held out before the people, to be acquisitive, to seek feverishly to become richer and richer, to prostrate them- selves before the Golden Calf. To read today the rhapsodies which issues from the high- est places during the last decade is to find the main reason why now, when the nation must call upon all its resources in integrity and magnanimity and public spirit, a clear devotion to the national interest is not surely available. For if you teach a people for ten years that the character of its government is not greatly important, that political success is for those who equivocate and evade, and if you tell them that acquisitiveness is the ideal, that things are what matter, that THAT ARE CAESAR'S. in advance, CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER | | | | | | or the nonchalance of James J. Walker, or the vermin who'in a hundred different ways exploited the tragedy of the Lindbergh baby. You cannot set up false gods to confuse the people and not pay the penalty. Those in high places are more than the administrators of-Government bureaus. They are more than the writers of laws. They are the custodians of a nation's ideals, of the beliefs it cherishes, of its permanent hopes, of the faith which makes a nation out of a mere aggregation of individuals. They are unfaithful to that trust when by word and example they promote a spirit that is com- placent, evasive, and acquisitive. It is not enly against the material con- sequences of this decade of drift and hal- lucination. but againts the essence of its spirit that the best and bravest among us are today in revolt. They are looking for new leaders, for men who are truthful and resolute and eloquent in the conviction that the American destiny is to be free and magnanimous, rather than complacent and acquisitive; they are looking for leaders who will talk to the people not about two-car garages and a bonus, but about $heir duty, and about the sacrifices they must make and about the discipline they must impose upon themselves, and about their respon- sibility to the world and to posterity, about all those things which make a people self- respecting, serene, and confident. May they not look in vain. A Field of Feace. (New York Times.)

P's after the big party at the Clar- idge.” He turned again to Ash- wood. “My God, you've changed! What in the world happened to you to make you look like this.” The scene came back to Jerry in a flash. A gay, rollicking British pilct, who had been drifting about | with them all evening, from cafe| to cafe. Then, after they had| panted with assurances of life-long affection and esteem, the two Yan- kees had heard a sudden uproar and had raced around the darken- ed streets to find the young lieu- tenant in the clutches of three burly military police. With shouts of joy Jerry and Emory had fal- len upon the patrel and after a| glorious fight had saved their new | friend from a probable court mar- tial. After another drink togeth- er, the three had departed for their respective units. And here| they were again, reunited at last —and under what circumstances. Ashwood looked first at Emory, then at Jerry, thoughtfully. | “Come in_gentlemen. We'll have | a drink and a little talk” Nod- ding to the guards, who departed forthwith, he led the way to the dining room. | Ashwood was the first to speak. | “All of us make mistakes at one time or another, but I had com- | plimented myself that this little| retreat of mine was well hidden. | Gamblers Throw Fustace L.

I should most ce:- Then tainly have followed an irregular course and taken more care YO watch for pursuing planes. It was your altitude and position that misled me.” His thoughtful eyes were fixed in a moody stare. Then, pulling himself out of his momentary ab- straction, he glanced at the three with sudden decision “I have a proposition ‘o make in all seriousness, and T am honest when 1 tell you that 1 hope it will be accepted. This island, as a prison, is as escape-proof as the strongest cell in the Tower of Lon- don. You haven’t a dog’s chance to escape and I hope that you won't attempt it. It would be absolule suicide. My guards have orders to shoot to kill every time they pull trigger. “grevens, 1 have the greatest re- spect in the world for you. Of all the policemen and detectives of one sort or another who have tried to ‘trace this or that little meliter to me, you have come the nearest to success. But you are too late, ncw. I have decided that this is to be my last trick and before you have an opportunity to use the evidence you now have againsi me, I will be in a spot where extradi- tion will be impossible.” He turned to Jerry. “Calhoun, there was something about that turbulent evening we three had in London that has re- mained in my memory throughout these many years. As things turn- ed out, it was the last really hap- py time I ever had. Disasters of which there is no need to speak began a day or two later; things over which T had no control had chaniged ithe entire course of my life. That is why, perhaps, T have a decidedly friendly feeling toward both of you. “I am sorry that you two fel- lows have, by chance been thrown into “nis affair. T'm sorry that we are, this time, on apposite sides of the fence. You canndt possibly win, My exits are too carefully worked out.” He lighted another cigarette amid thoughtful silence. When he spoke again there was no mistak- the sincerity in the voice. “Now here's my proposition. Give me your parole until, for one cause or another, 1 permit you, vclun- tarily, to leave this island. I shall do . so, believe me, within three weeks at the most, perhaps sooner. If you make me this promise not to interfere, you will be treated as guests and made as comfortable as we know how.” “Turning to Stevens, he declared candidly: “Old man, I would not suggest this if T thought you had a sport- ing chance of accomplishing what you are paid to do.” He glanced briefly at the other two and his voice suddenly grew hard and cold. “The alternative, gentlemen, is this: I shall give you what free- dom I can. But my men will watch you. If, at any time, you be- come dangerous to the success of cur undertaking, we will not have the slightest hesitancy about Kkill- ing you in cold blood, even though 1 should regret it later.
