keep.
We live, therefore, amid the
clash of social and economic
forces which at times become mo-
tivated more by passion and fear
than by reason and knowledge.
The forces of discomfort, making
change for progress, attack what
is good as well as what is bad in
the established order of things.
To achieve change for the sake
of change and the aggrandize-
ment of their own power they
would trample over other mems
religion and other mems freedom
to think and say what they be-
lieve. On the other hand, forces,
fearing change or having vest
ed interest without change, blind
ly defend what is bad as well as
what is good in the established
order Of things. To prevent
change and to stop the stars in
their courses, they would deny
other men political liberty and
economic opportunity, and would
crush all efforts to appeal to rea-
son or even to God.
The forces of enlightenment to-
day are not those which resist all
change or the forces which favor
any change. They are, instead,
the forces which seek to achieve,
in time, such Improvements in
the established order of things as
may be necessary to protect in a
moving world the gains which
civilized men through centuries of
struggle have acquired.
That, essentially, is the aim of
the forces of enlightenment, the
forces of religion and true con-
servatism, without regard to po-
litical partisanship, in this coun-
try and other countries where the
lamps of reason have not been
extinguished.
But in large sections of the
world where the lamps of reason
have gone out or have fIickered
low, the enlightened effort to i'm
prove the lot of all men has given
way to a resurgence of bigOtry
and intolerance as cruel and as

The Challenge Of
nto| erance

To one like myself who was
brought up from early childhood
to read and revere the Bible as
the Book of books, Palestine is
not simply a distant country, nor
are the people who first made it
the Holy Land, simply another
race. The Land of the Book and
the People of the Book are pc
culiarly part of the religious her
itage of civilized men.
And so it is that your efforts
to help build sanctuary for the
harried and homeless of the Jew
ish people have mighty appeal
to those of us of other faiths and
races who still find refuge, when
the world about us seems the
darkest, in the spiritual teachings
of the humble prophets who dwelt
in Zion and in Gallilee many cen
turtles ago.
We recall that America itself
came into being at the hands of
harried and homeless people,
searching for the blessings of
peace and freedom. Remember
ing their great struggle, we SYM
pathiZe the more with this effort
of yours to create in Palestine a
haven of refuge and a center of
culture where your kith and kin,
free from oppression and perse-
cutiOn, can find life and peace in
the land of their fOrefathers.
The particular tasks which you
have set for yourselves are nee
essitated, and at the same time
complicated, by external events
We are living through dark and
emergent period in the world
history. Unquestionably it is a
period of transition and change
although the exact nature Of the
+ transition and change is some
thing that few Of us know enough
to understand or are wise enough
to foretell.
Men and women everywhere
are haunted by feeling of inse-
curity, of helplessness to protect
the things they cherish most.
And yet, while their present state
is so unhappy, they also have a
fear of change. They fear that
change, instead of bringing them
greater security, will take away
the things they want most to

of God.
But the world will make grave
mistake if from these facts it
concludes that the revival of in

it is apparent that the Jews are

EDITORS NOTE: An impas-
stoned attack on bigotry and
warning on its inroads in
this country were contained
in the address by Attorney
General Frank Murphy, Su-
preme Court nominee, at the
recent National Conference
for Palestine. The address,
which is reprinted here in
full has attracted widespread
favorable comment.
For many of the human family,
the period we live in is one of
heartbreak and tragedy. Help
lessly, the humble, unknown
thousands whose only wants are
bread and peace, see their home
lands Overrun by invading armies,
their homes ard fields ravaged by
the lightning strokes of war. Life
for them is nightmare of de-
StructiOn and hate, too horrible to
be believed, if it were not that the
harsh facts lie before their eyes.
In such an era, earnest efforts
on the other side of the ledger
endeavors to find and build homes
for the homeless and oppressed
must come to all men of good will
as source of cheer and encour-
agement. I am grateful for the
opportunity to visit with you who
