IDEALS OF FREEDOM.

"Whatever may develop in 1935, it is, I think, unquestionable, that there is a new spirit abroad. It is not merely a sense of relief. It is a feeling that it is worth while to struggle for a peaceful re-establishment of a free European society again, because there is some prospect of success," writes Mr James Truslow Adams in the "Yale Review." "With this has come a new release of energies which had been slowly growing moribund under a sense of fatalism. Moreover, there has come also a sudden realisation that the free democracies have stood up better than, other countries, and there is a marked turning away from dictatorship as the only way out. One cannot predict how long the present dictatorships may continue, but there appears now no immediate danger of dictatorships or Fascism spreading. Freedom and personal liberty are again emerging, as ideals to be fought for, from the black night in which men cried only for safety and order at any cost."
