and it is made twice burdensome by
the fact that there is little pleasure
In enforcing liberty for those who
would deny liberty to others If
they were in power. It Is not easy
to detest an extremist philosophy
and yet insist on the right OF any
man to advocate it freely.
Yet. apparently We must do Just
this If we are to practice our faith
in democracy. We must remember
that America was founded by men
who came to these shores to escape
intolerance In other lands. We must
remember that the political system
which they advocated, fought for
and established under the Constitu-
ton was heresy in the eyes Of the
government that ruled them. We
must never forget that the demo-
cratic way is not to crush the alien
view but to let it be heard and to
defeat it by demonstrating that our

given liberty to man is eternal
vigilance" My purpose is to en-
phasize that If we wish to keep
what we have gained and so long
held, we must be alert. We must be
on guard against those tendencies
and attitudes, In ourselves as well
as others, that open the door to one
denial of liberty and then another.
U. s. Cannot Do Whole Job.
The Government, Of course, can
help us keep watch. 1t can take the
initiative and lead the way. But
We must remember-andt this is i'm
portant-that government cannot
do the whole job
I am afraid that great deal of
the present apathy toward civil
rights traces back to the notion that
their protection is the sole respon-
sibility of the Federal Government.
l am afraid their Is considerable
misunderstanding as to the meaning
and effect of the Federal bill of
rights which includes the first 10
amendments of the Federal Con-
stitution.
Students of law know. Of course,
that the bill of rights in the Fed
eral Constitution is prohibition on
the Federal Government. In other
words 1t forbids the Federal Gov
ernment to deny to the people those
liberties of speech and assembly, of
religion and the press that are so
vital to our freedom. Each State
having its own constitutional bill of
rights, 1t was assumed by the au-
thors of the Federal Constitution
that the State governments would
protect their own citizens from in
frlngement of these liberties not
caused by the Federal Government.
Since the Federal Constitution
was adopted, however, another
amendment-the 14th-has been
added, which provides that no
State shall make any law abridging
the privileges and immunities Of
United States citizens, or deprive
any person of life. liberty or prop
erty without due process, or deny to
him the equal protection of the laws.
Under this amendment it has been
held that citizen may invoke the
Evening star., 1939-03-28

jurisdiction that We could do Moth
ing. In other cases, We have pro-
ceeded to obtain the facts and to
determine whether or not q Federal
law has been violated.
Yet when all this is done, when
the Federal Government has done
its part and when the State has
given all the protection it can, some
thing more Is required. The courts
cannot review every denial Of civil
rights that may occur in our midst.
Year by year since the Constitution
was adopted it has become more and
more obvious that tolerance cannot
be enforced by law. No government,
however strong, can guarantee COM
plete observance of the spirit of the
bill OF rights. The Golden Rule
cannot be made effective by United
States marshals. The great pro-
tector of civil liberty, the final source
of its enforcement, now and always,
is the invincible power of public
opinion.
No court or law can make wholly
inviolate the right of freedom Of
speech. Once it is denied by ordi-
nance or some arbitrary exercise Of
power, what decree or court award
can restore to the citizen denied
his right to speak on that occasion?
Only the insistent will Of a tolerant
and informed people can insure
freedom at all times to the voice
that utters an unpopular view.
What injunction Of law can undo
the murder of the mob that acts
by no other authority than its pas
sions? The victim, lynched and lying
dead, has no appeal. It is only the
spirit of restraint and tolerance
deeply abiding in all our people that
can prevent this type Of trespass.
Prevention in Public's Hands.
And so it is with the secret vigi-
lante and the guerilla organizations
that carry convictions by fear and
persuasion by tar and feathers. The
courts can provide a remedy for
their lawlessness, but for its COM
plete prevention there is only one
place to look, and that is to an over
whelming public determination that
1t must not happen here.
1t Is anything but an easy Job,
this task Of protecting civil liberty,

that his way was the best, and each
one determined that the new expert
ment must succeed, should come to
disagreement over policies and meth
ods? In fact. every ingredient OF
period of great stress in the ma
tional life was at hand. And it is a
time like that when men are most
sorely tempted to look upon civil
liberty as protection only to them
selves and not to those with whom
they disagree.
Obviously We are in a period OF
that kind today. The danger OF
class consciousneSs-something for
which the vast majority of Amer
leans have little sympathy in nor
NAL times-has been increased by
unemployment and insecurity. The
danger is not theoretical one. 1t
Is not something invented in the
mind of the social psychologist. 1t is
an actual condition evidenced by
happenings that come almost daily
to my attention.
Only recently I received a letter
from wife and mother complaining
that the small business conducted
by her husband and son had been
ruined because they opposed the
political principles of the city ad-
ministration. Intimidation had
driven their customers away. Here
is form of persecution without
benefit Of an Alien and Sedition
Act!
In another community a young
man who actively opposed the boss
Of the local political machine was
indicted on false charge He was
tried and convicted by jury con-
sisting entirely of persons connected
politically with the leader of the
machine. He was denied bail on
appeal. After several postponements
the case came to the appellate court,
but not until after the defendant
had served his term.
Witnesses Reported Beaten.
Reports have come to the Depart
ment of Justice that persons who
have testified before congressional
committees have been beaten or dis
charged from their employment. In
other words, for exercising the ele-
mentary right Of conveying their
views to their Government they were
subjected to physical cruelty or loss
Of their jobs.
I believe most of you will remem-
Der the recent Harlan County prose-
cution which brought to light wide
spread denial of the rights of work.
men to organize and bargain collec-
lively. That unfortunate condition
is steadily being corrected, and I be-
lieve that as time goes on there will
be less and less of it.
Events such as these are the rea-
son for my earlier statement that
the casual attitude which takes civil
liberties for granted and recognizes
no danger to them Is just as unre-
alistic as the view that the American
people are steadily leaving their love
Of liberty behind them.
I do not wish to appear to you as
an alarmist. I have the greatest
confidence that the American people
will ride through this storm with
their liberties and their faith in
those liberties unharmed.
I only want to report and to stress
as strongly as I can that warning
which John Curran uttered $50
years ago for his generation, for our
own, and for all that are to follow:
The condition upon which God has

aid Of the Federal courts when he
is denied full protection by the
courts of his State,
I do not wish to give the impress
sion that the Federal Government
is powerless to protect civil liberty.
For although most Of q citizens
rights are created and protected by
the constitution and laws of his
State, there are certain rights which
he obtains not from his State but
because he is a citizen of the
United States. The distinction
should be kept in mind, however,
when the Federal Government fails
to act in situations that seem to call
for its Intervention. It serves to
explain why it does not take action
In every situation where some lib
erty has been abused.
The Federal Government TODAY is
determined, nevertheless, to protect
civil liberties by all means available
to it. It will not be for this faction
or that, this class or that class, this
nationality or that one, but for all
the people. We propose to protect
civil liberties for the businessman
and the laborer alike, for the Jew
and the gentle, and the people of
all racial extractions in our midst.
We believe it must be done con-
sistently and with q fine impartial
ity-otherwise, 1t cannot be truly
democratic.
In this determination we have
recently created a separate unit
on civil rights in the Criminal Di-
vision Of the Department of Justice.
One Of the first duties OF this unit
has been to consider and determine
just where the Federal Government
can act, and to define the limits of
Its jurisdiction. Within those lin
Its it will exercise its second duty of
ordering investigation and prosecut-
ing for violations of rights which the
United States Government is
charged with protecting.
The unit is now at work under nv
supervision. The complaints of
citizens which have already reached
me have been given careful con-
sideration. In many cases. we have
had to reply that the matters COM
planned Of were so completely out
side OF the Federal Governments

There's a Good Reason
You're Constipated!

When there's something wrong
with you, the first rule is: get at
the cause. If you are constipated,
don't endure it first and cure 1t
afterward. Find out what's giving
you the trouble.
Chances are it's simple If you
eat the super-ref1ned foods most
people do: meat, white bread,
potatoes. It's likely you don't get
enough bulk" And bulk" doesn't
mean a lot of food. It's kind of
food that isn't consumed in the
body, but leaves a soft bulky"
mass in the intestineS and helps
q bowel movement.
If this Is your trouble, you
should eat a natural bulk" pro-
ducing food-such a one as the
crunchy, toasted, ready-to-eat
cereal-Kellogg's All-Bran. ALL

gency relief. Eat it every day,
