WHAT DO WE
WANT?
BY RUTH TAYLOR

What do we want after this war?
We want unity--not unity of regi-
mentation of men but Il unity of ideals.
We may differ about the road we take
10 achieve them, but if we head for
the same goals, the end will be right
MANY roads Thou hath charted. All
of them lead to the light" the poet
said.
We want freedom from war. We
want to have our children grow up to
Il world untroubled by war-to the con-
sciousness of future before them,
not to be cut doWn in the bloom of
their youth in each succeeding genera
ton We want to enable them to plan
lives of service that will develop and
grow and bring good to the world
and not be disrupted and delayed by
the eXigencieS of warfare. ..
We want freedom from want. We
want to turn our great resources, our
great talents to the needs OF peace
We want to work out the solution tC
our economic problems, that all people
may have Il chance to live and to live
better. We want to fight the battles OF
disease and poverty. We want to save
hives, rather than to Slay naples,
Thousands on battletieldS all over the
world.
We want freedom from senSeless dis
elimination as to race, color or creed
We want each to feel free to be prOuC
of the traditions Of his ancestors ant
his faith. We want to encourage al
strangers within our gates to live up t(
the best that preceded them, un
ashamed. We .Mant each individual
judged on what he himself does, moi
claSscd as. Il group, nor shackled by
the chains of dislike or discrimination
against his group as a whole, 49,,
We want to puf'to rout once and fol
all the fallacy that the strong mus
control the weak because they ar;
strong We want to give strength t'
the weak, not weaken the strong. W.
want to live up. tb our creed of equal
ity before God and the law, and to SEE
to it that no man need fear if h,
speaks and acts the truth as he sees it
We want freedom and equality fo1
I'LL the people of all the earth. W.
want to destroy seltishneSs whether i
be of men or nations. The victory w,
desire is great 1t can be achieved i
we win the victory first over ourselves
if we put into practice i'm our own live

Civil Liberties In America
During Second World War
Said To Be Well Maintained
Annual Report Issued By Civil Liberties Union; Shows

New York City LNS)-Raca, industrial and other nor
NAL conflicts of democracy continue sharply wartime but
America World War almost wholly free of those violations
of civil rights which marked World War the American Civil
Liberties Union states in it's annual report just issued under the
title, Freedom in Wartime"
Contrasting this with the last the report emphasizes
that our democracy fight the greatest of all wars and
still maintain the essentials of liberty
Reviewing the from June 1912 943 the report
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1943-07-29

shows that more civil rights issues anu
cases have arisen from the normal

though the war has accentuated some.
The record of anti-labor bills, the
report says, was greater than in any

spondends in 4 states showed an al
most complete lack of repressive ten
dencies, and surprising freedom of
debate and criticism of war measures.
Two Major Violations Noted
Reviewing the exceptions to this en-
couraging war record, the ACLt
selects as the worst single invasion
of citizens liberties under war pres
sures' the wholesale evacuation from
the Pacific Coast over 10000 Ameri-
cans of japanese ancestry, and their
subsequent confinement in what are
VIRTUALLY concentration camps
Another ma .jor violation of civil
rights, the report says, has been the
removal by the military of individual
citizens from zones where their pres
ence is regarded as dangerous, 'an
unprecedented power exercised by
star-chamber proceedings"
Among issues arising from normal
conflicts" the race situation holds first
place, the ACLU reports. Changed
relationships and war tensions have
brought widely scattered outbreaks Of
mob violence against Negroes and
MeXicans unprecedented in severity.
Fear Found Allayed
On the other hand, the conduct of
the government in this war, accord
ing to the ACLU, has tended TO allay
fear and create the impression that
any movements obstructive of the wal
are well in hand"
In principle, conscientious objectorS
