Any future accomplishments must stand on the same ground. We can't hope to do anything significantly new un less we work toward high purposes — unless we keep a sound balance between the material and the moral. “ At a time when the whole idea at a free society is being attacked by selfish interests in many parts of the world, it is especially im- | portant that we are ourselves ■ clearly so that we can pass judge- j ment on the plans of those ama- j teur mechanics who want to take our social and economic machine apart— and who might leave us by the side of the road with some im portant gears missing.
