CONSTRUCTIVE MORAL FORCE NEEDED TO
SAVE CIVILIZATION
V1-mt we nv nromnted the idea hv tile
take. Millions of people in the United States know that
the views expressed correctly represent their own convic
tions. There must be something less selfish than national
isolation, and this broader view, symptomatic of human
brotherhood, must be expressed otherwise than in a will
ingness to take up arms. There is a conscious realization
of the existence of a potent force greater than machine
guns or battle.-hips, and more -effective in smoothing the
-ough places in international interchanges than the most
adroit and astute diplomacy. Christian Science Monitor.

Of
Eliot,
My own belief is that the present chaos in Europe
and the near east cannot be remedied by any policies
which are merely economic or political. The success
ful policy must have moral and spiritual motives, free
from selfish or materialistic considerations.
Now nothing is more certain than the fact that any pol
icy prompted and inspired by moral and spiritu il motives
does not induce war. The absence of such a defined policy,

ed States stand in the position which the Belgian commis
oioner so generously gives it? If the presence of the Stars
and Snipes on the Rhine, or anywiiere else in Europe, is
regarded as exemplifying and personifying America's
faith and good will, surely there should he none in the
United States who will say that wisdom or prudence, or
iHi'ii scl f-int en-si can excuse or iustfv adherence to a poli
cy of isolat ion.
' In an address delivered in New; York recently, former
(lovernor I.owdeu of Illinois took occasion to tell his audi
tors what America's present policy is costing its people in
losses in trade and commerce and in markets for their sur
plus products. Mr. I.owdeu insisted that no amount of
reiteration could establish the claim that the United States
is not involved in world affairs, and he quite pertinently
inquired, since it is so involved, whether it is going to do
.something to avoid war. or if il is going to wait untii it be
comes involved in another world war. lie doubted is Amer
ica's so-called isolation is worth the price which it would
he necessary to pay.
On the' same dav that Mr. I.owdeu spoke in New York,
Frank A. Yanderiip addressed a gathering in Detroit,
speaking on the subject of world peace. Strangely enough
perhaps, this speaker followed somewhat clo-wlv the
thought expressed bv President Eliot. "Only the moral
intervention of the United States can save the decadent
civilization of the old countries from utter ruin," he said,
declaring that the key to European peace is spiritual,
rather than political or economic. Surveying present Eu
ropean conditions, he summed up the findings thus:
Those troubles are a state of the mind. Political and
economic factors are involved hut politicians and econ
omists cannot cure the conditions that have develop
ed. Onlv a spiritual fellowship, an application of the
Golden Rule, can prevent the absolute breakdown
threatening the civilization of Europe.
Europe needs only a simple moral guidance for its
salvation, and we as a nation should he giving it. The
United States today is facing as momentous a decis
ion as when we were debating our entrv into the world
war. Hut the debating now is on our part in peace, and
we are lacking decision while the worhl wails tor us.
1 beliee we are weak morallv. as a nation, and in the
eves of the world we arc losing respect.
Thus thru- : re aligned in support, not of a policy o!
domination, ai't'icssion or armed force, but ot a con-truc-lie,
quickening and regenerating program, ethical if you
will, but moral, sane and demonstrable, three representa
tive leaders of American thought, one speaking for the
idealistic, one for the political and one for the industrial
and financial. There is a marked and striking unanimity
among them. Can it be true that the view which they
nave gained of the situation, either by observation or ex
perience, is entirely wrong? No, they have made no mis-
