ABSTRACT
WE HAVE rambled across the world and ranged over centuries, ages and eons in our search for freedom. We were able to establish certain principles, not perhaps startling or original, but badly in need of being reaffirmed. Indeed, we were deliberately interested in finding the foundations of the Old Order, in discussing values and truths which, being basic, cannot be new. Starting from the actual problems of today, we found that a clear understanding of what freedom means is necessary for a fighting democracy. Freedom is our main ideal, our watchword, and the source of such inspiration as must lead men into battle if they are to believe that they are fighting for positive values rather than defending an outworn system.
