DEMOCRACY known freedom for a hundred
He who believes that j years, will not for long submit
. to tyranny, particularly if
'Democracy is on its last legs” | practiced by a fore!p5 ruler.
is he whose knowledge is lim- j who believes, except he whose
ited to just those events which j knowledge is limited, that

have occurred during his life-
time and which have been
brought to his attention.
Democracy, as we think of
it, is not some transient “ism”
used to fill a gap during great
social and political evolutions.
Democracy is a fundamental
urge which is as much a part
of human nature as hunger is
the urge for complete inde-
pendence. To express it po-
litely, ft is the age old desire
of the normal human being to
be his own boss.
Students of such matters say
there are more strong charac-
ters in the world than there
are weak ones. The strong
character wants freedom; the
weak character wants to be
told what to do. The majori-
ties, being more numerous and
stronger, have in the last hun-
dred years or so been slowly
going the’ ascendancy over the 1
weaker minorities lead by self-1
seeking groups, families, or|
individuals.
Russia, Japan, the United
States, Italy, and the millions
and millions In the conquered
Democracies (if conquered)
will remain seated peacefully
for the next twenty years and
allow one man and one nation
to enjoy a!f the sweetmeats?
Democracy is not on its last
President could assign such
objectors, however, to non-
combatant service.
Pay—For the first four
months of their year’s train-
ing, draftees would receive
321 a month. For the next
eight, they would receive 330,
unless they won promotion to
higher grades at slightly high-
er pay. The original bill pro-
vided pay of 3o a month.
Um of conscripts—Permitted
only in the western hemi-
sphere, the United States, its
territories and possessions, in-
cluding the Philippine Islands.
This provision was inserted to
prevent the dispatch of a con-
script army to Europe.
Job protection — Conscripts
on the Federal government's
legs—it is autocracy which is payroll would be guaranteed
waging its last hopeless bat-
tles. Democracy is really just
getting under way. These
checks are hut temporary;
these tyrants but transient.
Many of these convulsions in
Europe are eruptions of that
ever-growing urge for free-
dom, which nature implanted
in the human breast, but which
European politicians seek to
bottle up and to control, lest
they lose the power which
they have inherited or
usurped.
Maybe this war will bring
on the elimax—maybe not;
but as certain as the rising
sun, the lid will blow off some
Slowly but surely, as time; day. and the people will come
passed, these stronger elements
have driven out autocratic re-
gime after autocratic regime.
Before this temporary spasm
of one man rule which has for
the moment gained the ascend-
ancy. almost the whole west-
ern world had overthrown the
rule of autocrats and had
adopted the “rule of the peo-
ple” patterned after that
which the founders of the Unit-
ed States of America had res-
urrected from an earlier peri-
od and implanted in a new
constitution of freedom.
Since that day, one hundred
and fifty years ago, when our
forefathers started the parade
which led from one-man rule
to what we call Democracy,
the French, the British, the
Dutch, the Belgians, the
Danes, the Swedes, the Norwe-
gians, and the Swiss had join-
ed the ranks of freemen, and
even Germany and Russia had
felt the first growing-pains of
iiberty.
Unfortunately. the Ger-
mans' dash for liberty was nip-
ped in the bud for reasons
which historians will still be
arguing about five hundred
years from now; and the poor
ignorant Russians didn’t even
get a start. But they did get a
"sensation,” and that sensa-
tion will some day bud into a
fast growing vine which will
destroy the fungus growth now
strangling the one hundred
and sixty million slaves of one
lone man. (A situation indeed
ridiculous and too unnatural
to continue for long).
Today, another lone auto-
crat, Adolf Hitler, appears to
be in a fair way to get control
of the democracies of Europe.
It is also conceivable, though,
extremely doubtful, that this
man, or his successor, could
maintain this control by force,
over a period of several years.
It is also possible that this
man, or his advisors, are too
smart to attempt that which
has been proven to be impos-
sible; and that if he does win
the war, he has in mind some
sensible scheme which will
obviate the necessity or the de-
sire for another war in the
next twenty years. This is
wishful thinking and may be
giving a politician credit for
mere brains than politicians
usually demonstrate—but it is
possible.
However, win or lose, the
people of Europe, having
into their own, and all the na-
tions of the earth will know
the meaning of the freedom
which God has granted us for
one hundred and fifty years
and which He expects us to
guard and to protect from
within and from without.
• For thou art my rock and
my fortress; therefore for thy
name’s sake iead me, and
guide me.—Ps. 31:3.

loss of seniority. Congress ex-
presses its desire that state and
local governmental subdivi-
sions follow suit. Private em-
ployers would be required to
rehire conscripts, onless it is
impossible or unreasonable tot
them to do so. Draftees denied
re-eraployment could appeal to
Federal court for a judicial
ruling.

provides a moratorium on tax

which draftees are liable until
after their training period. .
Cost of program—Estimated
by Army at 31,000,000,000 an-

the bill, but Congress retains
control of the program by ita

necessary money.

ty to enlist voluntarily for one
year.
