and There The statue of Liberty Still holds nlofl The light uf freedom To the world's oppressed. By the goodwill Of her people, By compassion. Is America expressed. -(By ELIZABETH LA DOW OVING picture managers are inquiring after their audiences. The answer is obvious if we look abroad, the people have a more absorbing interest.

All the world has become a stage and all the people actors in a universal drama. Everyone is called upon to play some part. AVe are involved in a struggle of such magnitude that mere pleasures or diversions from our problems, however pleasant, are not enough to satisfy the urge to solve deep and pressing Issues that involve all humanity. Rome is burning and we have no time to fiddle! Europe is like a huge cinema screen on which is enacted a drama of such scope that no one who looks abroad fails to see the tragedy of a once powerful and noble people. The tyrant Fear, scattering terror, threatens to destroy compassion and pity, the gentle children of civilization.

Not only are the beautiful towers we have long admired being destroyed, but the banners of kingdoms are being pulled down and Ideas, once the inspiration and pride of the people, are being.re- jected. The soul of humanity is being tried. The responsibility of America Is great. To meet the problems of our own internal troubles, as well as to consider our relationship to other nations, will call upon us for all the power we can muster Individually and collectively. AVe will not only need the power of the dollar, with Its screaming eagle of materiality, but we will need the still, small voice of spirituality whispering, "In God we trust." As we remember that people without vision perish, that liberty is not only a privl- lege, but a great responsibility.
