~Most Americans, undoubtedly, are still good Americans,
‘who put the welfare of their country ahead of selfish advantage. But there are conditions now existing in this nation
which are an affront to every right-thinking citizen. There are
conditions which make friendly and‘enemy powers alike wonder whether we are:a nation of fools.
There are thousands of fine American youths in army
training camps,.giving a year, or possibly two or three years,

exploit the emergency for selfish
reasons,
Would this step do away with
individua liberty and free enterprise? It would to a large extent,
but any government must secure
and exercise centralized powers to
prosecute a war successfully. If
prices were frozen there would be
no reason for demands for increased° wages on the part of workers
anywhere in this country. The

must forego usua profits and all
must make sacrifices. He states
that there must be no ‘“‘unnecessary’’ strikes. Is any strike necesThe root of the problem,

a tiny fraction of it comes from the

So Rotary lives, like a stream

Dr. Knoles, is a living thing. Its principles will survive and its organization grow. Rotary and Democracy
