"Man is a long time coming.
Man will yet win
Brother may yet line up with
brother” —Carl Sandburg.
The choice as to whether an
individual is to remain shack
led with old handicaps or to go
forward in cooperative efforts
toward a better life, must be
made by the individual. T.iis de
cision was symbolized in the
theme of the sixteenth annual
forum of the New York Herald
Tribune held recently in the
grand ball room of the Waldorf
Astoria Hotel, “Modern Man:
Slave or Soverign?"

“Why Men Believe.” The emin
ent. scientist urged the use of

“Systems of thought and belief

stimulating and informative.
STRENGTH OF AMERICA
David Lilienthal, chairman of j
the United States Atomic Energy
Commission, the final speaker of
this session of the forum, pointed
to diversity as the answer to
world needs. i
“The vast source of the strength
of American civilization does not
lie in an economic system. The
well-springs of our vitality are
not economic. They go deeper
still; they are ethical and spiri
tual,” he said.
In conclusion of the evening’s
program “Desert Venture,” a mo
tion picture of the Arabian
American Oil Company showed J
how free enterprise could work i
abroad.
RECONSTRUCTION

is at stake when your neighbor’s

I, WM. P. HODGES, Commissioner of Insurance, do hereby
certify that the above is a true and correct abstract of the state
ment of the World Fire and Marine Insurance Company of Hart
ford, Conn., filed with this Department, showing the condition of
said Company, on the 31st day of December, 1946.

sia want the same things our
people do—food, shelter and se
curity.” It is significant that in
farm.( uses, they found peas
ants still propose toasts to Frank
lin D. Roosevelt.
Four top-flight reporters of
the Tribune, who had been mak
ing an on-the-secene survey of
Eastern Europe, gave a report of
their findings “behind the iron
curtain.” They had different ex
periences in the various coun
tries and reported that while
communism was strong in some
countries, that is was equally
weak in others. Tney reported
that people are free to worship
as they please. In some countries
there is freedom of the press and
in others it is still restricted.
HAROLD STASSEN
“When Europe Staked Amer
ica,” was the topic of the final
address of the evening deliver
ed by Harold E. Stassen, former
Governor of Minnesota, who sta
ted that Europeans had once
helped America in an hour of
need and urged that we now
Trrr
help Europe.
Little Singers of Paris, a group
of young boys furnished moving
music for the final session.
When the sixteenth session of
the forum ended, there was a
definite feeling of hope and op
timism among the audience, that
modern man through coopera
tion can work out his problems 4
and be sovereign, not slave.
UNITED NATIONS
An impressive feature of the
program was the audience, which
was world-wide in its inclusive
ness. A number of delegates of
the United Nations attended some
of the sessions. And in turn many
people attending the forum, had
an opportunity to visit the Uni
ted Nations.
It was a thrilling experience
to see the flag of the United Na
tions flying at Flushing Mea
dows, with the flags of the mem
ber nations in the background.
It is important that the type
of farming to be followed should
be kept in mind when selecting a
arm.
