In this column, let's stay in Ameri ca to talk about our own efforts to attain that much-to-be-desired but elusive Utopia. ' Here we sit in the middle of the melee, a child prodigy among na tions, just 173 years of age. Like all prodigies our future is uncer tain. The next few years should de termine whether our growth has been sound, or of the mushroom variety. Up to 1917 all of us were fairly happy and content. There was plenty of work, and anyone desir ing to make himself moderately rich could do so with a minimum of effort. Then came our 1917 Cru sade for Democracy. We entered World War I. This cost us a lot of money, much of which we optimis tically thought would be returned to us. The failure of our ex-Allies to pay. plus the demoralized condi tions of all world markets, finally threw us into a financial" tail-spin. The storm broke in 1929. That was the first real test of American char acter. We failed to meet the test. The messy experiments in which we wallowed from 1929 until wc were forced into World War II in 1941 cannot be blamed entirely up on our politicians. Nations get ex- M. F. ALLEN JR.

ALL RELIGIOUS teachers of Je sus' time used parables. Bui the great difference between Jesus p'irables and those of his contempo raries, a I Rabbi Klausner says, is that his were re membered and theirs were not. People will remem ber a story who cannot take in a lec ture. Jesus almost never told "wonder tales." His para bles are not in the least like Grimm's fairy tales or Alice in Wonderland. Mostly they are about simple ordi nary happenings, and practically al ways about living people or things. It you said "Kingdom of God" to the average religious person of Je sus' time, he would have replied, "Oh, yes, that wonderful time! The time when these Roman soldiers will be blasted off the earth by the terrible breath of God, the time when every grape will yield barrels of wine and a single grain of wheat can be ground into bushels of flour the Miracle Age!" The Kingdom of God as Jesus proclaimed it God's Ideal World was some thing quite different from that. Je sus illustrated it not with fanciful wild pictures, but with stories from real life, from the field or the farm house. The Kingdom of God is a king dom of law, not of happen-so or of magic wands.' Jesus was. fond of comparing God's King dom to growing plants. Every plant is a miracle, it is evidence of God's creative power; but plants do not grow overnight, they grow by he laws which the creator made in them. Wild Sowing AS WE SAW last week, the most important feature of the Ideal World, or of any world, is the qual ity of the people in it. So most of Jesus' parables were about people, one of the most famous being this one of the "prodigal son." ("Prod igal" of course does not mean wick td or repentant, but wasteful, reck less with money or other things.) You could find many faults in that young man. One of them the fault that nearly killed him was that if he had a calendar he never looked at it. If you take a good look at a calendar you will always notice that there is another day af ter this one another month, anoth er year. But the prodigal never thinks about tomorrow, only about today. He sows his wild oats be cause he has fun doing it. .He can say "So what?" fast enough, but he has never asked the question, " and then what?" Childish, isn't it? Some people even argue that it is a good thing to sow wild oats, on the theory that the prodigal gets It out of his ays tern and is afterwards a better man. Nonsense! Is it better for your education to spend several years learning things wrong? Is it bet-, ter for a garden to let it grow up in weeds for the first three weeks? 'is it better for a man's healths to, spend his childhood years on a sick bed? That's no more silly than to say that a man is morally better foi having been immoral for a while first. - . s . Prodigal Nation ' ' ' , IT HAS EVEN been said that we have a prodigal-son civilization. Our generation Is pretty busy ow ing wild oats. We waste the nat ural resources of the earth. Drink ing has become encouraged by law and made glamorous by the movies. Wt spend more on liquor than on schools. More money is spent on a single day's horse-racing at a big track' than a whole state or prov ince spends on education in a year. The ties of marriage have grown so weak, especially outside 'the Christian church, that It has not been long since one American city was boasting that its marriage rate had "caught up with" Its divorce rate! ' ... Wild Harvest THE PRODIGAL son in Jesus' atory went home but he had to reap his wild harvest first The modern prodigal, whether individ ual .or nation, seems to mtsunder atand Jesus' meaning. ,; If God is thought of at all, he is pictured as a benevolent Being who, after all doesn't mind our enjoying our little fling. "He will forgive," said Vol taire,: "that's his business." That is a total misunderstanding of Qod t by the International Coon. eflglous Education on behalf of in the panicky manner of a cancer victim seeking a ci call. t Our greatest trot ole is that too many among us no .in0er believe In.. America, f That !.i the gravest danger we face. T .!;. took of faith is due in large dc eo to the fail ure of our educn: 'si system-to instill an underti i'"n of what America really Is and what madJ her great, into the minds and hearts of American boys and girls. Without that knowledge htw cr.n the youth of America be id to love this country and ta ii,.;.reciate the great heritage h?niod down to them? For' upwards of V.'.) years we made great stride. Uward econo mic security. This v.s accomplish ed through individual inlatlve, toil and thrift not though govern ment hand-outs. We did not at tain economic security, but came closer, to that goal than any other nation. Communistic and socialis tic influences in our public schools and institutions of higher learning have been a large factor in retard ing our progress. I hasten to pay full respect to the great number of school tea chers who, in the face of many ob stacles, are rendering yeoman serv ice in upholding the ideals of loy alty and service to American prin ciples. Wa must strengthen their hands by eliminating the traitors among them. If you are worried ( and you should be) about this trend to com munistic totalitarianism, there is something you can and should do about it. Consult with other patriot ic citizens in your community. In vestigate to find out if there is evi dence of subversive activities in your local school. Carefully read the textbooks to learn whether they are sound in text or full of poisonous propaganda. If you find that the. schools in your community are indoctrinating the students' minds with false ideas, that they are breeding places for Communism, or Socialism, or any other "ism" besides Americanism, go to your school authorities, or to your State Legislators, demand a thorough investigation, to be fol lowed by a drastic purge, if needed. Thus will the American Way be protected from its enemies, and America will be able to proceed on its way to economic security. . ell oi J 5SStS,&nt. nominations, Released by WNU Feature.) , ;V actly the kind of politicians they oeserve.
