Thursday, January 31, 1952 For What It's Worth . BROOKINGS-HARBOR PILOT, BROOKINGS, OREGON $535 Donated To By C lifford P. R owe As the international situation develops with Russia and the United States in leading and opposiing roles, there is a noticeable trend in the conversation of the man on tht street that gives me cause for worry. 1 fear that we are be coming over-confident. Confidence is a desirable asset in any situation; bu when it becomes exagger- erated to the extent that it is no longer based on fact, it becomes a definite lia bility and invites disaster. I fear that some Americans, perhaps t<K) many, are underestimating the capacities of the ene my. I hear men boasting of our superiority to the Rus sians in intelligence, technical ability and the will to fight. If our study of the history of man has taught us anything at all, we should know that no race, and particularly no nationality, has been endowed by nature with a monop oly on brains, abilities, or capabilities. 1 listorians have recorded that the downfall of prac tically every great nation can be traced to its people com ing to think of themselves as superior beings. Rome, the leader of the ancient world, fell before the barbarians when presumption of its own superiority sowed the seeds of corruption and decay. The late Nazis, fanatic in their philosophy of a master race, went down before an op pressed enemy strong in its will to survive. Examples are endless. Our democracy «must not make the same mistake. We must be aware of the strengths as well as the weaknesses of our foes and must keep ouselves physically, mentally and morally alert to the extent that we can meet any assault. And more important than all, we must be hum ble, full aware at all times that survival for us depends not so much on the brains of our nation as it does on the combined strength of heart of its citizens. 1 he past has ___________________ provided the pattern.
