In fact, regimentation has been part and parcel of civilization's progress. What we generally overlook is that the word has two distinct meanings. Regimenta- tion which man, of necessity, imposes on himself is well and good. But that which is enforced on him to his detriment is evil In early human civilizations leaders practiced a type of regimentation known as slavery. Under its concepts great masses of men and women were forced to live in fixed channels and under fixed rules for the | benefit of their masters. Later, in Greece, a nation | wrote its own rules and regulations, lived under them and lived happily. The benefits of this “democratic regimentation” have been passed down to the me; of today. | In the United States, regimentation for the benefit of the great masses of our people is apparent on every | THE DAILY ALASKA programs of the present administration threaten to| continue many of them | As our national emergencies pass, the United| States can—and must—return to a government in| | | | which regimentation is held to a minimum; in which | all manner of controls are for the public good.
