One would conclude from most discussions
of the war and working conditions that there
were three groups directly involved in labor
management relations. The general impression

" tOA
to talk a lot Fountain
about liberty these days.
The war we are fighting
is primarily a war for liberty,
but we have some folks fight
ing on our side who have
their own pet notions about
what liberty means.
There is Mr.. Eric Johnston
of the Chamber of Commerce,
for instance. Liberty, in Mr..
Johnston's language, means
opportunity for the rich to do
things as they damn well
please-and the devil take
the dissenters.
ALSO MARTIN DIES
There is also Martin Dies
of Texas. He has his own
ideas about liberty. To him
liberty means poll-taXes to
keep the poor from voting,
and headlines carrying his
lies about labor across the
front pages of the press.
There is Colonel McCor-
mick of Chicago. His notion
of liberty is centered in the
peculiar idea that | b or
unions and government-not
Hitler and Fascism-comprise
the m a jor threats to the
American way of life.
Then there is Mr.. Hearst
of California. He, too, insists
on his liberty to demand the
destruction of labor unions
and government bureaucrats
and professors who put their
faith in books and ideas.
And, of course, all these
famous libertarians have their
followers. We have all kinds
of people who believe that
liberty is a fine thing-except
for the Jews-except for the
Negroes-except for the labor
unions-and except for the
professors who 60 to work for
the government.
TApnD nDACyr
We also have among us in
America those who believe
that the way to fight for lib
erty is to pass a National
Service Act for the purpose
of drafting labor.
And, in another corner, we
have those ardent believers in
liberty who insist that the
road to peace and liberty lies
in the direction of killing all
the Japs and Germans. These
seem to agree with the Nazi
notion of liberty, which is
based on the killing of all
Jews, Poles, Czechs and Rus
slams.
Well, what is the meaning
of liberty, anyway? What was
the goal toward which Wash
ington, Jefferson, Paine and
the other Founding Fathers
pointed the feet of this ma
ton?
Certainly, it is not any of
the cock-eyed conceptions of
liberty outlined above.
LOVE OF LIBERTY
Those who posses a genuine
love of liberty are neither re-
dictionary rightists nor total
itarian leftists. They are the
believers in human rights,
spiritual rights and economic
justice.
Liberty is the right of hu-
man beings to rule themselves
and work out their own des-
tiny.
Liberty does not look at the
color of the skin of those who
kneel at the altar of freedom.
Liberty reserves the right
of the non-conformist to
speak his piece, to get in his
two-bits worth.
Liberty permits workers to
quit their jobs, sipgly or in
unison, to protest against
slavish working conditions.
Liberty should protect the
people against the autocracy
of private wealth, as we'll as
against the tyrannies of gov
ernment.
Liberty is not a blue print
of yesterday or tomorrow; it
is an open mind, ready TO fit
itself to the changes which
come into the world with the
passage of time.
