they have retained private enterprise and public ownership to serve as checks on one another. "We are 50 of having any public ownership," Dr Overstreet added. Returning to the America's depression-inspired realization of this country's shortcomings, Dr Overstreet said: "We know that something pretty sad is happening to us. In the old days this was a pretty tine land. But the old rural American has vanfished and in its stead has come this high-geared, terrifically paced civilization.

We have city slums and rural slums. The whole thing is out of gear. We do not know just how to get an even distribution of wealth, an opportunity for all to enjoy our ica is not lovelv but I know that it great resources. I know that A Amerhas the stuff to he lovely. One of the unloveliest things about it is what is happening to our young people: 41 per cent of those from 16 to 26 years of age do not have 3 full -time job.

We are in danger of breeding A broken person, "Yes, we have all kinds of shortcomings, and today are in A world which is threatening even what we had. How easily (termany has walked into Denmark and Norway: how casily it can walk into England and France. What of tomorrow? We now realize it is not so far off." Eight Basie Conclusions "What kind ni America do wO want? Since 1929. we have reached cight basic conclusions." The first of these is a renewal of the old conclusion that only a people who are free to think and speak their mind can build free society, Dr Overstreet stressed. Events abroad have driven this conclusion home in this country, 35 well as the realization how precious is the American principle of democracy as it applies to minorities.

The third conclusion has developed a folk saying, "Poverty in the midst of abundance," and this has given rise to a challenge to overcome poverty. In the fourth place. Americans today realize that we have passed from an order of life where man could he pendence is the rule. "Two independent "to one where winterdes of human society have, thus far existed. The first.

which men struggled with Nature for survival; the second in which men struggle with men for survival. A third type is now emerging--although only halfconsciously and blunderingly. It is the type of society wherein men cooperate with men for survival. Today no man is independent, no worker is independent. W'hat we want.

And hope eventually have, is A genuinely cooperative America. America led the world in securing political freedom. But economic freedom cannot be secured through the laissez faire competitions that have hitherto prevailed. It must come through the spirit and technics of cooperaThis is an age of mass production -which requires mass consumption. And mass production is unbalanced by class consumption: the surpluses we cannot sell in this country we push into foreign markets; we thus compete with other nations, and have war." old competitive systems, competition between individuals and between nations.

have outlived their day, Dr Overstreet declared. "The time is now ripe for a new tyne of human organization, inspired by more generous motivations. The spirit of the old societies was expressed in the phrase. 'God helps those who help The spirit of the new society is expressed in the philosophy of Denmark and Sweden, 'God helps those who help one The new America, we hope, will be a genuinely cooperative America." A fifth conviction which has reIsulted from the depression is that the old American desire to rich quick must be replaced by emphasis on conservation of both physical and human resources. "The kind of America we want is one which will not permit its high school boys to go out into the world jobless to he demorallizod; that will not economize in its playgrounds and schools because we not want to pay taxes.

Planning for long-range wealth must replace our get-rich-quick ambitions." Americans have also learned distrust empty generalizations. to believe that freedom and equality have Ito he more than platitudes. "We have very little real freedom in this land. First. of all.

there must he economic freedom. both freedom for the worker and freedom for the employer. Some. day, out of our attempts at collective bargaining and business organization, may come the custom for men and employers to face each other frankly and talk things out honestly. Then we may be able to work out our economic destiny for the welfare of all More Good Government Needed .1 Seventh hasic conviction 18 A new idea of what the state should he.

"Jefferson said the less govern(ment. the better. I'd say, the more of better government. the better. For example, take what the department of agriculture is doing through its extension system and 4-IF clubs.

Then there is flood control, federal highways, the national parks, numerous services by the state governments as well as the community services. Justire Holmes once declared. 'I like to pay taxes, for with them I buy I want an America that has government which serves its people all kinds of ways, an America not afraid of government. want an America not afraid to face the world issue. We didn't gO into the League of Nations after the last war.

I know that something may happen to Cabot Lodge when he faces judgment. We did something to the rising spirit of world cooperation at that time which helped to destroy We are a isolationist today and rightly so. I see the end of Americanism if we got Into the war. for both England and France are still sold on the old idea of the balance of power. But a new idea is coming into being in Europe, the idea of a federation of Europe and eventually of an United States of the world.

We made the great political invention in the world-we took many, made them one and yet let them remain many. Unthe world takes over this invention. until there is A United States of the world, we will have wars and more wars. lovely, free. vigorous, generous and sportsmanlike America will not permit suffering in our midst.

This is world of interdependence. What touches Germany, France, China touches 115. I do not mean that we should put uniforms on our boys and send them abroad. Fighting solves nothing. But we should outline what kind of world.

it should he and share the planning." Dr Overstreet was introduced by Atty Abraham Kamberg. who presided at the question period and announced the final lecture in the 1910 (Continued from First Page) series Wednesday night when Dr Kohn of Smith college will speak on "A troubled world in quest of peace." Answers to Questions During the question perlod, which was marked the same intimate informality ag "the Necture, the following questions were We have a political democracy in this country; but are the people democratic to one another? We have not even a political democracy at present, only the heginnings one. We will not be fully democratic until we are democratic economically and socially, Think of the Negroes who are not permitted to enter certain theaters and hotels. Our confounded snontiness keeps us from being democratic. Q.

Aren't We in the habit of over. rating democracy today? A. Lady. lady. lady, did I come to Springfield to hear this? It depends upon what you mean by democracy.

Socrates was put to death by a democratic vote, but that waS awful democracy. Politically, our democracy is clumsy. But if you mean are we overrating the spirit of democracyOh. you mean the right de every one over 21 to vote? That is not democracy, just a nuisance. Mr Hearst, who owns a number of newspapers, actual- so I haven't even one.

We haven't begun to practice democracy. Q. Do people deserve democracy who forget to vote? (Laughter.) A. You are taking me too seriously. was speaking not of myself but of her the average man.

Q. You spoke of a United States of Europe. Have you in mind any person or persons capable of bringing that about? A. I don't think that question can be answered. Happenings of this sort are not engineered by one person or nation.

Who busted feudalism? Answer, nobody. I can't say that Ar Chamberlain is going to do it; I can't think of poor: little Sweden and Denmark doing it. As for us, we have troubles of our own -we have to elect Tom Dewey. But speaking seriously, I see a good sign in the fact that such a book as Clarence K. Streit's "Union Now." at first rejected as fantastic by many publishers, is now being discussed throughout the world.

People are sick to death of war and are seekling ways to get rid of it. 6). If Denmark is such a wonderful nation, why isn't it fighting to resist the German invasion? A. I could answer. just because it is so wonderful.

But I won't. You must realize that Denmark is about as big as Ithode Island; under. no circ*mstance could Denmark even make ly has 3.000,000 votes; I forget to vote. la stab at fighting.
