FREE SPEECH
Ry RUTH TAYLOR

Free speech is the life blood of tn"
Republic of the United States. From
the Bill of Rights to the -Four Free
doms, it has been Il symbol of democ-
racy, so completely an accepted right
that we came to take it for granted.
We could not fully realize the exist
ence of the tOtalitarian regimes be-
cause we could not sense n nation with
out the right to speak out" Dicta-
tors always gag the people and stille
the opposition just as quickly as pos
sible. Without free speech no man
knows the ambitions or ideals mott
waiting his neghbor and fear keeps him
quescent under the tyrantS sway. The
abolition of free speech proceeds by
Just Il moment the cnSlavcment of
man.
But how may we preserve free
speech?
If speech is free, if free speech IS to
be desired enough TO fight for it, if IFS
loss is one of the greatest ii nation can
suffer, we should cherish it and uS il
wiscly--for free speech is Il responsi-
bility as we'll as II right Free speech
must be true speech. Free speech
means the right To disagree and to
state the reason for dissent, without
recourse to slanderous abuse and all
men frown upon demagogic shrieks of
hatred.
While we fight TO protect freedom of
speech, we should not employ that free
dom in the tactics of the enemy, de
stroying unity hy sniping at each
other. No one group, whether it be of
class, employment, state or section, OF
race, national origin or of religion,
should carry free speech To extremes.
If one side does it, the other side is
not justified in following suit. Free
speech should not mean mud Singing.
Liberty must never degenerate into
| license: freedom of assembly must
never end in mob rule; and free speech
must never lower itself to vituperativc
! Slander of those with whom we are
not in accord or against any group of
our population. IT we 50 misuse free
speech, we sink 10 The depths of de-
| prnvity of the NaZiS who are trying to
wipe out II religion rs of the Jews
or Il nation aS of the Poles whom tn"
| latest decree rpiliSeSe to recognize ai
human beings or rs fellow Christ
ians."
Free speech should only be exercised
| by free people - those of mature
| thought who have learned Sclf-rc-
| Straint, who can study the facts,
weigh the source and then state their
own position clearly and calmly -
ready to listen uS well aS speak, open
