ideals dear to the heart Of youth.
Foremost among them is liberty. And
liberty today is seriously imperiled
not only in Europe, but also In
America. -
"The danger Of liberty is two-fold.
First, most people have not faith in
the might of truth and right. Sec
ondly, most people cannot tolerate
views and sentiments different from
their own. The result Is that MAORI
ties, or ven minorities in q favorable
position, resort to force to make their
cause prevail. Yet if there is anything
clear in history it is that all good and
great causes are at the outset cham
pioned by an individual OF a small
group Of individuals. Consequently,
nothing is so fatal to the welfare Of
the community, and nothing SO infm-
ical to the progress of civilization as
interference with liberty. This applies
to liberty in every form and every
field-to freedom of thought, freedom
of speech, freedom of teaching and
inquiry, freedom Of organization and
freedom Of political parties and plat

Produce More-spend Less.
"The people of America must pro-

"In other words, they must stop ex-
