Today, the various alms of the Exhi-bition

fact that no man feels free who Is not

Spheres of Influence
No phase of life Is untouched by the
demand for freedom and security. In
the political realm, a government
guarantees security with an orderly

Freedom is lost. No man Is content
merely to have a Job: he wants a Job
that will suit his Interests and capaci-ties.
His happiness Is the by-product
of the dual existence of freedom and
security.
■vary man desires the right to choose
at will those who will be his associates,
a choice built on his own personal
preferences. At the same time there
are an equal number who want to re-tain
the security that they feel entitled
to as a grant of fate. These two view-isiints
are not compatible. One must

Ism Interpretations
Examine Soviet Russia. The Russian
lieople, after centuries of feudal oppres-sion,
accepted the security offered by
the Communist party. Little did they
realize, thirty years ago. that they were
bartering away the promise of freedom
that they embraced. The close-knit
Soviet Cnlon cannot afford to guaran-tee
freedom of dissent If it Is to main-tain
the controls that It finds indispen-sable
to preserving Its new order.
Fascism couples security with
strength, and In so doing, repudiates
freedom as a soft and degenerate Ideal.
Diversity, they would tell us, dissipates
the strength of government. Authorl
tarlan rule, not self rule, Is the sup-reme
Ideal by which they propose to
lap the most resources. The fascists
maintain that Joy for the masses Is
derived from masterful government.
Leadership is the sole concern of the
strong. The supposition Is that It en-tails
the greatest satisfaction for the
hulk of the citizenry.
Democracy attempts to synthesize the
Ideals of freedom and security. Its
constant threat Is an over-emphasis on
one or the other. Freedom in a demo-cratic
state can only be extended to
the point that it does not Imperil either
Ibe freedom or the security of society
