J^R OM TIME TO time prominent men o f the world issue warnings concerning the trends o f the tunes which sound almost evangelistic in presentation. Below is a state ment given to the Associated Press by Will Durant, phil osopher-historian, who could scarcely be considered a rightist rabble rouser or a fundamental evangelist. This statement appeared in a recent issue o f C h r i s t i a n i t y T o d a y . I f one such as Mr. Durant recognizes these issues in such a vivid manner, how much more should we not cry out against the evils o f the day in which we live and boldly proclaim " Thus saith the Lord” as revealed in His H oly Book? A i Have we so long ridiculed authority in the family, discipline in education, rules in art, decency in conduct, and law in the state, that our liberation has brought us close to chaos in the family and and the school, in morals, arts, ideas, and Government? We forgot to make ourselves intelligent when we made ourselves free. Should we be free to commit murder and escape punishment on the ground o f "temporary insanity?” Have our parole boards been too gentle, humane, and approachable? Should we be free to sell, to any minor who has the price, the most obscene — the most deliberately and mercenarily obscene — book o f the 18th century, while we deplore the spread o f crime, unwed mother hood, and venereal disease among our youth? Should divorce be so easy that marriage loses its function o f promoting sexual order and family discipline? . . . These are difficult questions . . . and I have no dogmatic answers . . . I know that severity o f punishment does not always prevent crime — though I believe that surety o f punishment would deter it. I know how hard it is to say who should judge what is right or wrong, obscene or decent, and where censorship should stop once it has begun . . . . But with all these excuses and doubts, public opinion has been guilty o f criminal and cowardly silence in the face o f growing crime, moral disorder, and deteriorating taste. We have been afraid to speak out lest we be considered old-fashioned. . . . We make idols o f screen celebrities who deliberately break up home after home. We give not only money but honors to writers who peddle sexual stimulation. We pass in wonder by some o f the modern art exhibited in our museums, and we dare not speak out against it as turning our stomachs with the odor o f decay. TH E KING'S BUSINESS
