Tolerance Not Enough
By Ruth Taylor

We talk about tolerance today
as though it were great virtue.
We pirate of being tolerant" peo-
pie. We lecture about it, and
write books and articles and feel
excessively proud of ourselves for
our tolerant" attitude toward
others.
But tolerance is not enough. 1t
is negative in its virtue and far
too often carries with it a phari-
saical condescension which is ut
terly foreign to the American way
of life. According to the diction-
airy ito tolerate" is ito suffer to
be or be done without active op-
position" tolerant" is "of a long
suffering disposition, and "toler-
alton" Is "the act of allowing that
which is not. wholly approved"
Surely that is not what we
mean when we talk of tolerance.
Nor is it what we desire. There is
no room for mere tolerance of one
another, or of any group, in a
democracy where the ideal set
forth in our governmental credo
is that "all men are created
equal"
What we need today is not
federation" between the many
groups of diverse races, national
tiles and creeds which go to make
up this America of ours-but a
spirit of understanding, know
ledge of the good and the beauty
and wisdom each group contri-
butes to the common whole. What
we need today is mutual under
standing. ITO understand" ac-
cording to the dictionary, is ito
comprehend the relation of things,
to know through information"
And one Of the definitions of UNI
derstanding is possessing COM
prehension and good sense"
Mutual understanding means
mutual trust-the belief in and
knowledge of each other that is
the great unifying force which can
weld us into a nation invincible to
attack from without because it
immunizes US to attack from
within. The Fifth Column we need
to fear most is that created by
our own racial and religious pre-
JUDGES, often held unconsciously,
but far too apt to break out at
the wrong moment to de-
stroy our ability to think clearly
and judge wisely.
No, tolerance is not enough.
There must be no dividing lines
between our people. We must be
