THOSE LIBERTIES OF OURS

fear that this time they might go for

1t is reossuring, then, to see the re-

Union, which is professionally critical

Thot is the unions business yet it re-

There hos been little interference

the power to institute them; that only
five stote prosecutions have been made
under laws penoIizing opinion; that in

lowest number ever recorded in q single
year; that decisions in appellate courts
have recently been almost uniformly
favorable to civil liberties.
Thot's encouraging, for it means
that the American people ore more
