It gave the opportunity of the many speakers to bring the homely philosophy of the Emancipator down where it could be match- ed with the new fangled Communistic ideaB of the present day. What Lincoln would do with our problems <rf today were he in the White House of course is problematic. His rules of reasoning with the issues of his day were tried and found to be conservative and constructive, something all admit is lack­ ing under the New Deal whose only tangible fruit is the moun­ tain of national debt that will be as a millstone around the necks of the coming generations. No' one has ever read or ever quoted Abraham Lincoln'on economic problems that we can have-prosperity with si burdensome^debt, public or private.^ Over-expansion of credit and private debt had much to do with bringing on the present depression- Debts called for more cash than was in the .trading channels and as a restil ; . business became stagnant. Under Lincoln the government was usted purely for gov­ erning and protection of both the individual and business. Under the New Deal it is a workshop for untried Communistic ideas pure and simple. Wild brained theories of.inexperience brain-trusters have surplahted conservative judgment baset on years of experience Thrift -and prosperity -were signals around which the private citizen was urged to build for the ■future! Today -there is no mention of thrift but Waste anc deficits are pictured as a lead to the-promised land. The Lincoln birthday gave the Republicans the opportunity of preaching a return to common sense which' the nation is gradually absorbing as slow, as the process is. We soon face another Important birthday, that? of George Washington, who like Lincoln preached A doctrine far different from what we have been havings If we cross the political line there is the *image of Thomas Jefferson, ,who today would be compelled v to repudiate those who try to fit; h'is idea of government with the imported brand from Stalin in Russia, - , k . That the NewDeal even is not radical enough for all could be found in the action of the Youth Congress in Washington and the disrespectful, attitude towards even those who have tried t<* be half Democratic and half Communistic. The Cm War with all its consequences and ill feeling never brougfr out such as we have recently witnessed as an insult to the government. Lincoln said the nation could not be half slave «nd half free and were he alive today he would stand on. the name premise that we cannot have half democracy and hal communism. There is no place in the end for the straddler on suchisflues. England has her worries with the, Irish making trouble on one sidp and down in India Gandi is keeping the fires of re­ volt? burning. We protest against holding up American ships and censor­ ship .of American mail even to -neutral countries but Englant ke eps a t it just the same. King George must have discovered last aummef just about what tfie value of a protest is and how dangerous we are over here. When John L, Lewis took it upon himself to rebuke FDR before the American Youth Congress some days ago that prov­ ed to be news. The youngsters applauded and shouted for ' Lewis but saved their hisses for FDR. I t looks like the Com­ munistic family is disintergrating down in Washington.

Even a century and a quart­ er has elapsed,since th e treaty, which closed the War of 1812. The unguard­ ed boundary line between Canada and the United States has been a mute testimony of peace ever since. Washington stood firmly fo r inde­ pendence. He warned the nation about entangling alliances with foreign na­ tions. He coveted a place for the Unit­ ed States amotig.the nations, but a t the same time he believed in the Great Experiment of representative demo­ cracy upon which th is nation'htunched out, and that it copld under God be come self-governing and self-deter­ mining. His faith has brought favor­ able .result*, -v. We are today testing the faith of Washington in our efforts to remain out of the European War. I t wiuld seem th at Europe is chronically dis­ posed to periodic national disturbanc­ es. History recites war after war in sickening Sequence. America'win set­ tled as a land of peace. To her hospit­ able shores came thousands of the lib- erty-Toving folks of Europe, Great numbers of them ' were youths who purposely sought to escape compul­ sory military training- an serving in the old country. 'They longed fo r an opportunity to iive in freedom, and make of themselves what their talents suggested. For millions th e hopes of Washington and his compatriots have been realized in- Jhe American' Re­ public. If then. Europe persists in bloody t'ruggles and ruinous jealousies, let us jet the example of peace. Let us hope lor peace. Let us work for* peace. Let us-pray fo r peace- A fter all, Europe's .(ad situation can be remedied by re­ ligion. The humble, sincere, practical acceptance ,o f the religion of Jesus Christ by national loaders and the -masses of the people will bring peace. Someone has recently1said that if fifty million citizens of the United States were engaged regularly one hour a week in the sincere worship of God, it would be more effective than a standing army o f five million men. Let the fine sp irit o f Washington suggest our course, and may wo build up a strong nation dedicated to peace. In the Unfolding decades, such a course under the Prince of Peace will prove more effective than getting into war. The world needs religion, not the clashing of arfna.
