This World
Of Ours..
By DALLAS MALL1SON
(Introductory Note: Presented here
is the first of a series of stories on
the present world conflagration, its
causes, conditions determining its
outcome, the course it is taking and
the effects it will have upon our
generation and those to come. The
author is a former teacher of gov
ernment and social science at Atlan
tic Christian College and Louisburg
College. He is a native and resident
of Pamlieo County, North Carolina.)
THE WAR IN REALITY A
WORLD REVOLUTION
When the writer reads of past rev
olutions he often wonders to what
extent the nature and extent of any
revolution was seen and appreciated
by those who were living at the time
it was taking place. The conclusion
seems almost inescapable that at the
time any revolution or great change
takes place very few persons living
at the time have any adequate con
ception of what is taking place. Even
the most learned and thoughtful of
our thinkers can only dimly see the
broad outlines of any great change
which takes place before their eyes.
What our leading scholars and
thinkers today are beginning to see
is that what we call a great World
War is in reality a great world-wide
JOWTK? V
(PJiu
revolution which is taking place be
fore our very eyes and which will
change the whole future course and
structure of our civilization, politi
cally, economically, socially, racial
ly, culturally and in every major
respect.
This is not just another war or
even a war on a word scale which
like past wars is a battle between
rival groups, nations or leaders. It
is fundamentally more than a world
conflict for the control of the world's
natural resources and raw materials.
It is much more than a fight for the
control of the lands, the seas, and the
air lanes of the world. It is even
more than another war "to make the
world safe for democracy."
Causes Deeply Rooted
Viewed historically and in a broad
social sense, the present world
struggle is more than a conflict en
gaged in for the purposes and goals
of even the leaders of the Axis
powers on the one hand or the lead
ers of the United Nations on the
other hand. Men and nations, indi
vidually and collectively, are moved
and propelled along the high road of
their lives by strong under-currents
and motivating forces which often
they themselves do not comprehend
or even recognize to exist. This is
never more true than today.
The causes of the present World
War are as deep-seated as were the
causes of our Revolutionary War or
our own Civil War; only this time
they are world-wide in their scope,
are more complex, include all races
and national groups and are great
ly affected by the so-called Indus
tial or Mechanical Revolution our
school books talk so much about.
A New World Being Born
Thus, before our very eyes, a new
world is tragically and with much
labor, blood and tears, being born.
It is idle' and also dangerous to opine
that when this battle of the hemi
spheres is over we will return to our
old ways of thinking .acting and liv
ing. The new world that Is now em
erging will be as different from the
pne we know as the present century
is different from the nineteenth cen
tury.
The whole social order all over
the world and in every minute as
well as in every major respect will
be so changed that if the editor of
this paper were to go to sleep today
and sleep as long as did Rip Van
Winkle and were then to wake up,
the world that would unfold before
his eyes would be terrifying, unreal
and awesomely strangely different.
No one could stop this change if
he were to try much less can any
one today predict or see with any
great degree of clarity, or compre
hension what the world of tomor
row will be. Whether it will be a
better world or a worse world will
depend upon one's point of view but
it is safe to state that it will be a
logical development based upon
causes, factors and conditions now
known by every scholar and think
er.
In future articles of this series the
arthur will hazard his guess as to
what this world just around the cor
ner will be and why it will be that
kind of a world.
