The Fifth Freedom
Cincinnati Enquirer

The distinguished educator and lecturer, Nicholas
Murray Butler in his seventeenth annual speech at
Southampton, Long Island, added fifth freedom to
the four which the United Nations have dedicated
themselves to establish in the new world to come
And IL is freedom so basic essential to the Others
that it should be associated with the four freedoms
wherever democracy flourshes because is the very
synthesis of democracy
Dr. Butler called it the Freedom OF Individual
Enterprise and he kened it to the keystone of the
arch formed by the other four freedomso speech
and expression of worship, freedom from want and
fear
Freedom of individal enterprise recognizes, said
Dr. Butler, that the individual human body the m
dyidual human intellect and the individual human
soul are fundamental the moving and guiding
forces in any form of civilization
To quote him further:
Making allowances for differences of heredty and
of environment the life OF every lndlvldual mas us
beginning in the cradle Where will that life end?
The answer will be found in the fact that every
human being must himself give reply to this ques-
ton by the use which he is able to make OF the years
of his life whatever his environment or Whatever MS
opportunities may be- No individual must be looked
upon as a member of permanent class or group.
He must be free to about he likes economically
socially and politically He must be free to make the
most of all opportunities which are offered to him
and to shape his life with all the intelligence which
he possesses with view to advancing not only MS
own welfore but the interests of his fellow men ana
those of the civilization which he shares with them
It is to the people of these United States that this
modern world may we'll look for commanding and
Illustration of the meaning OF this Fifth
Freedom The Army private OF today is the Major
General of tomorrow He who begins his life as
manual worker as clerk may, as we well know,
come to WELD large influence and authority as an
administrator an organizer of men and OF industry
This is the secret of true progress Given the Fifth
Freedom then the other -Four Freedoms take their
place as part of the life of every free man.

BOLDLY TO BE OFFERED JOB

President Roosevelt will offer the
post of Commissioner of Internal
Revenue, now made vacant by the
resignation of Guy Helvering, to
leading California newspaper pub
Usher, Manchester Boldly, of the
Los Angeles News.
Boldly, who has been the most
outstanding newspaper supporters
of the Roosevelt administration in
the West-if not the country--flew
to Washington recently for White
House conference, at which time the
President asked him to replace
Dean Lands as Administrator OF
Civilian Defense.
Boldly felt, however, that the
civilian defense job was now pretty
well finished and that the country
was no longer in danger of serious
air raids. So he declined.
At that time the commissioner
ship of Internal Revenue was not
vacant. Since them, however, Com
missioner Helvering has resigned to
become U. S. District Judge for
Kansas. The President intends,
therefore, to offer Boldly this post
considered the most important in
the Treasury Department, next to

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 5

OE2lJA L, w ! ooiSis -
Adverse aspects appear to domin-
ate today which however gives
promise to persons who have cour-
4, age in initiative.
| HEART AND HOME; Under this
planetary government domestic val
ues should be wisely appraised,
| fact which may emphasize sadness
over vacancies in the family circle.
This is a period, the seers declare,
when world consciousness should
overwhelm personal considerations
The greatest good for the greatest
number on the globe must be the
aim of all within the United Ma
lions. Patriotism now must attain
new high in every American
household
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Under the
urge of war emergencies the de-
velopment of business potentialities
will have been so great that our ma
ton must continue to expand amaz-
ingly in trade and commerce. Re-
turning soldiers who have been
trained in many scientific vocations
will contribute greatly to efficiency
after peace has been attained, the
outlook for the future is most for
tunate.
NATIONAL ISSUES: Danger
that RECOMMENDATION necessary in the
war industries will cause resentment
among the workers of the greatest
democracy has been foreseen by as
trologers. Discipline which must be
severe may be wisely exercised
without impinging upon the indie
pendent spirit OF employees, it is
pointed out. The tendency to iden-
tify men and women with the ma
chimes that they operate may be in
creasingly apparent in coming
weeks.
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR
According to the reading of the
stars by foreign astrologers Britain
and not the United States, will
emerge from the world war as the
leader of all nations. This inter-
probation of planetary signs is con-
tradicted by American seers who
declare that under Aquarium influ-
ences the United States must be
foremost in the new order, since it
is strongly swayed by the sign and
already has established many prin-
clples and institutions which are to
be q omin ant in reconstruction
times.

/ periences in which nervous tension

THE JAP THREAT

When Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox recently
warned the British that they should recognize the
gravity of Japan world enemy instead of regarding
Adolf Hitler the only military evil to be destroyed
he hit on something which is bothering good many
people on the West Coast and in Alaska.
Apparently the grand strategy is to polish off
Hitler then the full force of the United Nations
on Japan Perhaps that is the best strategy we have
no argument with that-but every precauton should
be taken to prevent any Allied power from under
estimating the enemy in the Pacific
Too many persons both abroad and in the United
States have the idea that when Hitler is defeated
the war will be practically over. With this in mind,
it seems that when Hitler does fall there will be a
dangerous letdown the part of the Allies.
We have made very few gains in the Pacific
which compare with the gains that have been made in
Europe. And the Jap has not suffered near as much
as we might hope to believe. Japan, watching the

with that than he gets into another

One answer to Mrs. Marshall's be-
wilderment is to be found in her
self. When Gen. Marshall gets
home at night, she protects him
from interruption SO he can relax
and get a good nights rest.
One night, some time ago, a call
came from the War Department
after Gen. Marshall had gone to
sleep Mrs. Marshall answered the
phone and tried to take the mes
sage. But the voice at the other
end was insistent.
Mrs. Marshall tried again. THE
General is asleep. and I'd rather
not disturb him. Is it anything i'm
portant?

of sarcasm, its just that the War
Department is ON fire!"
