At the beginning of each new year, it is a time-honored and beneficial tradition to try a little “crystal gazing.” It is a time to think what paths should be followed as we set out to draw the lines of history upon the smooth and unmarked page of a brand new year. For the people of the United States, 1973 could be a very good year. America has many more strengths than it has weak nesses, and there is good reason for pride in our accomplish ments and optimism with regard to our future. In the first place, the United States has a remarkably du rable political system. We have passed through another election. Parties were split, and passions were aroused. But in good order, the American people chose, by an overwhelming ma jority of their vote, who was to be for another four years the most powerful human being on Earth and hold the office of President of the United States. The outcome is accepted as right and just, and the business of running the country goes on without interruption. Tbe coming year will see many changes. With the phasing out of the war in Indochina and new U. S. diplomatic and economic contacts with the Soviet Union and mainland China, it is possible that the U. S. may be entering a time when its influence, as a peacemaker, will be more crucial than ever before in history. It is reported that China may have deployed strategic missiles along its Russian borders with a range of 3,500 miles--missiles capable of reaching Moscow with three- megaton nuclear warheads. Most feel that this is a deterrent force which will tend to prevent a first attack by the U.S.S.R. to destroy Chinese nuclear power. Others believe that the next 18 months, while China still has limited nuclear reach into western Russia, will be critical. The United States, with its new contacts in both nations, could prove a powerful balance wheel on the side of peace. In another theater of concern, we as well as other nations seem to be coming to the realization that the United States alone cannot be expected to police, feed, finance or heal all ing as no other man has ever the rest of the world. Other western nations must assume their share of responsibilities in Europe, in the Mediterranean taught, doing good and healing and in Asia. With this new awareness of U. S. limitations, the sick, was crucified for our as well as strengths, there are openings for more cooperative sins, arose from the grave and action between nations.

And so on the international front, the new year brings period in history, to a manger, shifting ground, great dangers, and at the same time great to a hillside school, to a hill side place of execution or even opportunities for real progress.

There is a stirring, a feeling that people are be ginning to realize just how great our accomplishments have been.» The year 1973 can indeed be “the best of times” or "the worst of times,” and the outcome will depend, to a good extent, upon the confidence, the sense of pride, the hard work and above all the common sense of the American people.
