PAGE FOUR HE KEY WEST CITIZEN CHRISTIAN WORLD HITLER IN WAR WAR OF RELIGIONS By DR. JOHN H. HERMAN, May 31.{ BABSON PARK, Fia., —Whose s this? Our nation actively engaged in un- declared warfare. Our indus‘ry already is largely diverted from its normal channels. Our youth are conscripted. Our wealth is being diverted by billions from is nov - was asserted to be tional prog been vatmped. Many of our pulpits again are preaching the necessity of force against evil. It is time ask ourselves what kind of This is not Hitler’s personal war.

Nietzsche, Bernhardi and others were preach and pro- claiming it before first Ital- ian had denied the democratic process This is not a political w: essence of politics is ne; compromise, the t imponderab! with means to favorable adjustment: And it is not an economic v though Britain seeks to use the economic weapon and Hitler succeeds by fiat abrogation of normal economic laws. This war is a religious war, world wide, raging in every lend and among every people. It had been in strong progress before Japan invaded Man- churia and before Hitler left Munich the first time. At the start of the tury when the works Locke began t. take wherever men gave théught to polities and government, the whole world started to realize; the ancient religious ideal of} the Brotherhood of Man under the Fatherhood of God. Ideas of the nature of brotherhood varied from race to race, and concep- | tions of God varied according to previous religious doctrine or experience, but ples the politcial as well as moral thoight of the leaders accepted interracial brotherhood as_ the ideal toward which to incline tk r.

True brotherhood was still away, and the moral obligations which brotherhood implies in all international relations were fre- quently ignored, the 19th century and into the 20th no responsible statesman challenged and no ruler openly ignored those principles.

Certainly in every land it came. Against the Christian ideals of brotherhood there arose , the doctrines of particularism. A | © superior race (the race of the demogogue who is speaking) destined to over all other—the inferior -races, National patriotism was held loftier than the broader ideal of world brotherhood. In every land men arose to deny that political or moral obligation could extend beyond the nation- al frontier. We had it here, and still have it. It takes the forms of anti- Semitism, of Negro-repression, cf isolationism, of the “patriot- ism” which is “100 percent Amer- ican” with no interest or consid- eration for the neighbor peoples. Its dupes pride themselves that America should consider only her own material self-interest This spirit of anti-Christian particularism has been running ascendency as in Germany, to- talitarianism results. Where _ it remains a minority interest: and attitude as in America ,it oper- confuse the operations of democracy. But the fight has been ning for a generation in every broken into peoples who have rejected the Christian ideal have turned to take advantage of the “softness” of those who still profess It is a religious war which we wage in defense of the central teaching of that Christ who proclaimed - His brotherhood to all men and died to exemplify it. I dare predict that this re- ligious war will continue for a decade and probably for a gen- eration to come.
