An Answer to Harry L. Burns:

An Answer to Harry L. Burns:
Dear Mr.. Burns:
Without seeming unduly critical
should like to disentangle your gar
bled ideas as presented to The Peo
pies Voice in your letter of Septem
Der 4.
You no doubt are a devoted father
overly solicitous of your children's
welfare and you propose to carry your
solicitude to the extreme extent OF
doing their thinking for them, and
consequently you bar 1.-THE Voice
from your home in the fear that your
children might get some ideas which
are not cut and dried and passed on
to them by you. In other words you
want your children's mental develop
ment to be in the form of pattern
handed on to them and thereby save
them the pain and distress of mental
exercise.
I should like to ask you, Mr.. Burns,
If you believe in our Democracy? If
you believe in our precious privileges
of free speech, freedom of the press
ETC., as guaranteed to us in the Con-
stitution of the United States? In
other words do you recognize the un-
alterable fact that it is only through
the unhampered functioning of these
principles that we are able to pre-
serve and to strengthen our heritage
of freedom and of human rights
handed down to us by our forefath-
ers? And right there is where l am
afraid your conception of a democracy
in action is somewhat warped. No
one who believes in democracy should
resent the right of an individual to
criticize public official, whether you
believe he is right or wrong in his
criticism. In Europe the dictators
have built up their iron clad powers
because the peoples right to express
their thoughts and ideas freely was
taken away from them. Because
certain pattern Of ideas and thinking
was cut out for them and handed to
anyone who says 1t is not will find
four walls, three more than he will
have use for.
No, Mr.. Burns, rather than to be
resentful of a publication like "The
Peoples Voice" where we can express
our ideas freely, whether it be on the
bill or any other legis-
lation, where we can criticize our pub
lie servants from the president down
to the town crier, we should never
allow a day to pass without thankful
ness in our hearts that we are living
in a country where such publications
are protected in their right to express
the ideas of the people. We should
never cease to be thankful and we
should give such publication all the
support that we can, both materially
and morally, and let me assure you,
fond parent, that so long as we are
secure in our right to maintain such |
just so long and no |
onger will your children be safe from |
he hell that is engulfing the chill
lren of Europe.
In case the Editor of "The Voice"
has discontinued your subscription as
by you I trust that he will |
send you a marked copy with this
etter.
