NATIONAL IDEALS.
What are the national ideals?
Here is Senator Norris asserting
that the country is going to war
tor dirty dollars, and here is Scott
Nearing saying that the nation is
interested in only two things: Wall
Street and the movies. Occasionally
there is a national stock taking,
but not often, and the country has
simply got to understand its posi
tion.
In America money is certainly
the main incentive of activities.
Hut it is the same thing in every
other country. In England it may
have become alloyed with a little
extra caste and snobbishness; in
Germany also and in France with
a lust for power. But throughout
the world we are not likely to dis
cover that money is very far from
being the national incentive, and
its acquirement the national ideal.
That there are more art devotees
in other lands, that pure scientific
research finds more adepts, that cul
ture in the educational sense may
be more generally disseminated
among the richer classes in other
countries, may he all very true, but
these are not on that account the
national ideals.
Fsually it will be found that there
is a collection of national shibbo
leths and phrase* and theories of life
and living which are the subject
of oratorial effort upon national
feast days when the nations of the
world flatter themselves upon their
supremacy in prowess and prin
ciple and progress. But when we
get down to an analysis of the si
tuation we discover that the same
economii system has everywhere
generated the same ideals, although
those identical offsprings will be
clothed in certain national garbs
which may lead to the inference
i hat they are distinct species.
T'sually men excuse their scramble
for the spoil as merely the ma
terial effort to better their condi
tion. but say what we may, the main
end of almost all human activities
have reduced themselves to this,
that is the acquirement of wealth
and power.
Now and then we find an intell
ectual like Scott Nearing in revolt
against the tremendous rush for the
spoil that he sets around him. and
many sensitive minds develop a
horror of the mercilessness of our
civilization and the death, disease
and the destruction which it scatters
even in the peaceful pathway of its
advance; the poverty, the destitution
and the sordid misery of the mil
lions is disgusting, and they de
nounce the national and Internation
a I lust for money and for power
These arc inclined then to believe
that one is worse than the other in
this respect and that the cruelty
of the system varies with the con
'u!nent. But that Is not so. The
success that is held out before the
youths of tiie different nations is
the same. They may be measured off
in different national units of meas
urometn, but the idealism is ident
ical.
The triumph of a Krupp is the
German commercial ideal ideal,
just as in America the success of a
Carnegie is heralded as "typically
American”. Intrinsically the suc
cess of the Laird of Skibo or tile
ruler of E3sen are the same.
* Ati American Morgan, an Eng
lish Cromer, an American Hearst.
-a British Northeliffe are human
phases of our civilization which
are interchangeably the same, de
grees of same succesfully achieve
ments without any regard for
the collective happiness or the col
lective weal of the people of the
world. The great trouble is that
most who survey condition: gc-ner
ally have but one perspective and
that their own. All the:.- view
points center upon themselves and
they reflect tpe views that arc vi
sioned in a surrounding mental hori
zon of which they are themselves
Ihn center. They are first, second
, or third dimension critics, interna
tionalism, being of ill*: fin.rtli di
dimension. Is eyond our grasp. Just
as the patriot thinks that “his first
bes* country ever Is at hnft.i*". so
the national critic is led into the
fatuous view that one cuntry is
very much and unfortunately diff
erent fretfi another. It is the com
pensation of the gods that if no
country is very much better than
another as to ideals and purpose,
so no country is very much worse
tiian the other.
That we see on every side the
brutality of the search for wealth,
as in America, is so evident, means
merely that we are closer and bet
ter informed in the circumstances
that beset us.
It might be a more lofty view to
take that the United States Is fight
ing for human liberty when enter
ing into the European war. but to
the average man the economic fac
tor stands out too conspicuously.
Even if it is. as Norris said a war for
dollars, this country is certainly in
goodly company. Even Americans
with pro-British leanings among
themselves wink shrewdly when
they read of the exceedingly noble
purpose that led England into the
war: namely to protect the integrity,
of Belgium; and now that the
British publicists have almost
forgotten all about Belgium
land insist upon stating
the real objective of the war. in
enunciating the minimum demands
for peace, we can afford to take
| some consolation from the fact that
all nations have the same end in
view.
It is to he urged that it is no
ex< use that money is the American
ideal, because money is also—and
we mean money, property and power
—the ideal of the rest of the na
tions. But it is some poor excuse
that the capitalist economy allows
no other. Of what, from the day
of their horning to their dying day
can men think of, work for, strive
for. but making money? It alone
will afford their old age security. It
alone will extend them social re
spect. It alone will grant them the
good things of life. Those who
have it are the better classes. Pov
erty is contemned on every hand,
even by the poor. The dogs bark
at a beggar and the world bows be
fore a Rockefeller. The Judge mo
derates his decision when ruling
on a millionaire delinquent, and
the voice of a Dogberry is hoarse
with severity when condemning the
shivering wretch whose guilt is sy
nonimous with his pennilessness.
Those who are ordered are those
who have not. Those who give ord
ers are those who have. The high
place is for the man with money;
he is the at the head of the ban
quet table and to him the poets,
the orators, the painters, the sculp
tors how and dedicate their work.
The papers mention him with defer
ence and his visit to his na
tive place is the occasion of
a national fete. These are
not merely generalizations.
They are facts may be observed
every day. Wealth is held out be
fore us all as the one thing worth
while. The other “ideals" are
merely theoretic; excellent for homi
lies that induce sleep and forget
fulness.
Religionists may tell us this
wholly evil. They have been doing
so for a thousand years and they,
the white, have been accumulating
wealth and fighting for power and
fame and control themselves. Every
one is doing it. because the system
that exists allows nothing else. The
environment produces our Ideals
as well as our ideas. There are ex
ceptions. notable ones, but not on
a national scale.
