THE SEED BED OF DEMOCRACY
By HENRY A. WALLACE,
Vice President of the United States of America

Here in the United States our population is blend
OF many races Men and of divers origins have
built science literature and arts finance
our industry and government We have established
here the truth of genetic basis for democracy.
When | was a small boy, George Washington Carver
good friend of my fathers at the Iowa State College
Carver at that time specializing Botany and he
would take me along on some of his botanzng trips It
he who first introduced the mysteries botany
and plant fertilization Later I have an init
mate acquaintance with plants myself because spent
good many years breeding Perhaps that partly
because this scientist who belonged another race had
deepened my appreciation of plants way could
forget
mention Carver simply because he is one example Of
truth of which are today deeply convinced. Ability
and character not the exclusive possessions of
any one class They may arise anywhere provided
are given the right opportunities.
In democracy, every individual according to his sta
ton in life and according to his capacity should have op
poruny for joyous service of the general welfare De
must apply itself to meeting the need
of for work. for income for goods for health for se
curiy and to meeting their spiritual need for dignity for
knowledge for sexpression for adventure
erence And it must succeed The danger that will be
overthrown in favor of other system in direct pro-
portion to its failure these NAV talk
all like about the beauties democracy the ideals
of democracy the rghness of democracy the long run
democracy any other political system will measured
by its deeds, not its words
And SO, let dedicate ourselves anew to our demo-
cratic body of faith-o the promotion of stable but as
cendng general welfare by increasing productivity
the people Let dedicate ourselves the belief
that there extraordinary possibilities in both man and
nature which have not yet been realized and which can be
made manifest only If the individualStc
genius of democratic institutions preserved Let us dd
cate ourselves making it possible for those who
gifted in art science and religion approach
known with true reverence and not under the compusion
