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
