DRAWS   ANSWER   FROM   DEPTHS OF  WORM'S  EYE-VIEW
Human Brains Must Find Solution of Human Problems—We May Have to Save Civiliza-tion by Sacrificing Some Liberty. i
Fro'jucntly in those columns wc have supported the opinion that In sniall towns can be found a sounder, saner point of view on matters of the mo¬ ment than in either l.arge cities oi; in tho truly rural communities. Tur¬ ing the past months we have read and heard mucih comment both for and against the "Brain Truster^s," of which Uexford Tugwell, Acting Secre¬ tary of Agriculture, apixjars to be the head. We h.ave been very greatly con¬ fused by the conflicting oiiinions ex¬ pressed. We have mado an effor^t, as we froiiucntly do in moments of con¬ fusion, to draw from past history comments that might point the way to a solution of the m,ystery, for without doubt the nature of men, both of high¬ ly educated and highly ignorant, differs little today from what it waa In tho past.
The progress of the human race is undcniulbly slow. Therefore, ot late we liavc listened to much, and said nut a littlo In a provocative way, to bring out the opinion of tho residents of -this comniunity.
One of the ablest of those opinions m.ay be summarixod thus - "What tho country needs is to go back to the prin- ci])les. of those who created Its gov- .(¦1 iiiuent." This seems to bo retroac¬ tive, but upon careful examination it is not. Wh.at the speaker meant was to go back to the principles which guaranteed all men an e*iual right to "life, libert.v, and .tire pursuit of happiness," by whatever standards each man might measure them.
Hunting, or the lov© of it, has Its Toot   in   pursuit.      Man,   many,   many
a very famous cesay on Southoy's point of view, and It is from M.acau- lay's letter written to an Amer.ican friend that wo quote the following: "I have long been convinced that in¬ stitutions purely dcmocrati(; must, sooner or later, destroy liberty or civ¬ ilization, or both. In Europe, wheio the population Is dense, the effect of such institutions would be almost in¬ stantaneous. What happened lately in France is an example. In 1S48 a pure democracy w.as established here. l>Hr- ing a sliort time there was re;uion to expect a general spoliation, .a nation¬ al bankruptcy, a new parlitlon of the .soil, a m.axlmum of pijlces, a ruinous load of tax.ation laid on the rich for tho purpose of supporting the poor in Idleness."
"Such a system would, in 2n year.s, havo made I''"rance .as poor and barlxir- ous as the France of the Carlovinglans. IT.applly, tho danger, was averted, nnd now there is a despotism, but civiliza¬ tion h.as been saved."
Perhaps   this   explains  Tugwell.
There is a sage who lives in that district known hereabouts as Puff's Corners, who said to me tho other day, with his characteristic grin, "Friend, these bo par,lijus times, and every day they get parlouser and parlousor." It appears that this humble phrase exactly expresses tho condi¬ tions. It is well for us all to give them caroful thought. If human brains .and human ingenuity cannot flnd a solu¬ tion of human pi;oblcms, then indeed civilization is lost. To save it we may have to temporarily sacriflce somo liberty of thought and action. ]0,ich mu.st choose his own action. What path  aro  you  going to follow?

centuries ago, Ininted and fished for food. With advancing civilization dif¬ ferent forms of business, industry, or agriculture, or a combination (rt all three, becamo tijo 'sourco of food. Man applied the ruthless methods, the methods of the killer, which he had formerly used in pursuing and secur¬ ing his food. supi>ly, to his Inisiness or other vocation. When men hunted for meat, when they got wo will say a week's supply, they stopi>od hunting :l,nd killing. In industry, business, and i even in agriculture, I regi-et to have to say, men were not cimtent with enough.  The  sky  was  tho  limit.
Git'cd, and lust for gold, the symbol of security, taught him to ajiply tho! trickery, tho wiles, and the unfair niethods, tiuito ju.stifl:iJble in the sK^cur- ing of food, to his vocation. This country has g-rown enoijmousl.v. Its size has changed. Wero it only it.s size that changed perh,ai)S tho need for "Brain Trusters" might never have arisen, but from all over the wor.ld came immigration, changing the na¬ ture of our body politic, until today it   has   no   deflnlte  character.
The habitual and hereditary thought j-.atlcrns which motivate the action of Hny class of men may have their ori¬ gin in the sunny slopes of his Italian vineyard, the wind sweipt steps of ^he Ukrainian wheat fleids, the green Jind charming isle of Krin, the moun¬ tainous regions of that counti'y gen- or.ally termed the ISilkans, and, of course, there is that v€-i,y important group, the descendants of the .African hunters using slings and bows and ar- 1-owS, aided by the mysterious incan¬ tations of tlieir voodoo religion. The effects of these motivations have bt-en ^multiiilied many times under the pros- I)ei;ous conditions enjoyed by all in¬ habitants of this country during the past century. Here and now the dif¬ ference is perhaps more easily notice¬ able than it would have been were ono aide to estimate the differences which existed 100  years ago.
In all the documents proceeding from the Secretary of Agriculture and thei (nflicials of the Agricultural Ad.iustment Administration, the conviction may be clearly seen that until a closer co¬ operation coming from common de¬ sires . or needs - exists, the condition of agriculture, (Indeed the N. 11. A. otlicials, reflect the same opinion of business and industry) must remain a.^ i'nh.appy and chaotic .as they are today. They have attempted, by what their opponents call "drastic regimentation," to coordinate the opinions of both in¬ dustry, business, and agriculture until they may jiresent .at least some simi¬ larity  in  their  desires  and  noeds.
In discu.sslon with the many indivi¬ duals having-;' different professions, vo- catlon.s^, modes .and manners of life, I Iind a general acceptance of this ¦belief. Yet almost every one of them has brought up sound objection.'i which have been highly developed and ably maintained.
