SISYPHUS IN RED TIE
(Continued from Page 6.)
The Impulse that sends the ringleaders on the politient warpath may be understandable. They may include a leaven of honest fanatics. but the master spirits usually have an eye solely to the main chance. They deliberately court the gamble with fate, even though history tells them how it will certainly end for themselves.
But how can we explain the mad- ness that obsesses their rank-and-file supporters, who risk their lives with no prospect of sharing adequately la the loaves and Ashes? They, no doubt, are the dupes of their leaders, no doubt, dupes of their own ambi- ilons. Yet it seems strange that sentient mankind should no persist- ently risk everything for nothing.
THE ETERNAL TASK
Viewed through the undistorting mirror of history, nll those volutionary leaders, even when they a.have been honest and unselfish, look remarkably like so many up-to-date examples of Sisyphus, that avaricious Corinthian king whom the
gods doomed perpetually to sweat and toil at rolling a heavy stone to the hill- sop, only to And it back again at the foot of the hill next morning.

This tragedy of abject futility is due to one fairly obvious fact. The modern Sisyphus in a red tie confuses material with spiritual affairs. He falls to realise that before remould- ding things nearer to the heart's desire it is vital to effect a change of heart's desire.
Exchanging one form of govern- | ment, or one system of social organisation, for another will achieve little or nothing. Indeed, it very often proven a case of out of the fry- Ing-pan into the fire. But if there could come a change of heart, á sin- cere uplife of human spirit and out- look, no revolution would be neces-
sary.

As the taltered pageant of recorded centuries unfolds itself to my eyes, only one thing is truly worth fight- ing for, and that is human liberty and personal freedom.
