N2  - A war is total to the extent that it spares no established thing in mobilizing people and resources. Institutions, as precisely the established ways of doing things, are threatened by total war. The fundamentl complex of free founding, enterprising promotion, and voluntary support, which has characterized American institutions dealing with education, religion, and social welfare, faces a crisis in the war. There will be less money to give, and these reduced funds for voluntary giving will have to be measured against people's faith in a great many of the institutions which they once so freely founded.<p />
