Upon Faith m Oiir Country
Our Nation is bring penalized by a crisis of European methods and ideas.
w mnnol escape entirely the bitter . fruits ol a war founded in aovemmcntal sys-
W Tms w3only, Paternalism, Public Ownership and Autocracy jo hand
in hand.
Now as never before we have opportunity to compare American ideals and meth-
ods - thoso practiced in Europe, and to measure what Amencan systems
and institutions have gained for humanity.
Probably we will learn more and more each day of the comincj year to appreciate
iwehaveandare;torefjardour citizenship in a more precious light; to
see our problems more clearly, more tolerantly.
The war has made material progress difficult throughout the United States. It has
added to the obstacles of financing constructive efforts. It has enforced
economies upon the large and small; has laid on the shelf plans for many dc-
sirable things.
Prosperity in this cduntry during the coming year demands above everything else
faith in our Republic and faith between man and man. It cannot be had in
suspicion and distrust.
If this military calamity leaches us a deeper and more useful patriotism; if it serves
to advance understanding among us of one another rights and wrongs; if it
removes prejudice and strikes down distrust-then this war will not be with-
out benefit to the citizens of the United States.
We hope for prosperity the coming year. To have it will require hard work, courage
and faith in ourselves.
