IV LINCOLN Will ALIVE TODAY
Continued from page 9
Lincoln on America, 1962
possessed of understanding of others
under burdens of sorrow. The war ended
and for the first time the photographers
got a benificent smile as though he might
be thinking:
"Thank God the blood-bath is over
and we can face the world as a united
nation dedicated to freedom for all men
everywhere.”
Q. HAtsf position would Lincoln have
taken about the every-man-to-his
ewn-bemb-shelter controversy?
A. Lenoir Chambers:
He would have judged
the uncertainty and
confusion about it not
very healthy. Certainly
there are very difficult
problems in connection
with civil defense, and the government’s,
role in it. But I don’t believe Lincoln
would have agreed with those who feel it
is a citizen’s first duty to hide like an
ostrich.
He would have wanted us to meet
crisis with courage, to face up to our
obligations to ourselves and our pos
terity. He might well repeat today a
warning he delivered in his own time:
"Fellow citizens, we cannot escape
history. We will be remembered in spite
of ourselves. No personal significance
or insignificance can spare one or
another of us. The fiery trial through
which we pass will light us in honor or
dishonor to the latest generation.”
Q. Hcm/d Lincoln have sanctioned the
invasion of Cuba by Cuban emigres
to overthrew the Castro regime?
A. T. Harry Williams:
Who can say? Certainly
Lincoln himself must
have learned a lesson
from the episode of Fort
Sumter: if you’re go
ing to go in, go in big.
Cl
Afterward, Lincoln was not afraid to use
power, but like most political leaders,
he had to learn this the hard way.
Q. How would Lincoln deal with Juve
nile delinquency ?
k. Ralph Newman:
To some people, the
young Lincoln, often
morose and moody,
given to writing sar
castic verse and playing
pranks, and who often
argued with his father, might have looked
like a juvenile delinquent. But he grew
up to be a man who was always patient
with others, and he would have been
patient with our troubled youngsters.
Yet, one of the things you notice
when you study Lincoln’s writings is
that he used the word "responsibility”
as often as he did "freedom.” Given
his own hard-working background as a
youngster, he probably would have felt
that today’s kids need more responsibil
ity. But, above all, he would have found
no excuse for law-breaking. He once
said, "Let every American, every lover of
liberty, every well-wisher to his poster
ity, swear by the blood of the Revolu
tion, never to violate in the least partic
ular, the laws of the country, and never
to tolerate their violation by others.”
Q. Would Lincoln, the Great Emanci
pator, be satisfied with the Negroes ’
progress toward complete freedom
in the 100 years since he issued
the Emancipation Proclamation?
A. Bruce Catton: Lin
coln was a great one for
making haste slowly. It
took him a year and a
half to come to the
point of proclaiming
emancipation. He was
slow about giving the vote to freed
slaves, as is clear from his letter to
Governor Hahn in Louisiana in 1864.
He was slow about enlisting Negro troops
for the army.
Lincoln believed in one step at a
time. But let no man cloud his memory
by confusing moderation with compro
mise. "I’m a slow walker,” he said, "but
I never walk back.” Full freedom and
untrammeled liberty for every man was
his ultimate political philosophy.
He once declared in an address in
Illinois, "These representatives in old
Independence Hall said to the whole
world of men that all men are created
equal. This was their lofty and wise and
noble understanding of the justice of the
Creator to his creatures. Yes, gentle
men, to all his creatures, to the whole
great family of man. In their enlight
ened belief, nothing stamped with the
divine image and likeness was sent into
the world to be trodden on, degraded,
and imbruted by his fellows.”
So there, as nearly as today's Lincoln
experts can imagine, is how the railsplitter
from Illinois would have felt about the
problems of our own time. Maybe our own
statesmen can learn something from him
