us, we hamper the fullest expan-
sion of our economic society.
Intolerance is poor economy
Prejudice doesn't pay. Discrimi-
nation Is destructive.
There are some in our country
- industrialists, white collar
workers, laboring people - who
hold to the myth that economic
progress can be attained on the
principle of an unbalanced see
saw. They think that if some
groups can be forever held
down, the others will forever
enjoy economic privileges and
prosperity at the end which is
up.
Fortunately, it does not work
that way. Any advantage thus
gained must be paid for out of
the fruits of the productive
plant. The withholding of jobs
and business opportunities from
some peopledoes not make more
Jobs and opportunities for
others.
Perpetuating poverty for some
merely guarantees stagnation
for all. True economic progress
demands that all artificial bar
riers erected by ignorance and
intolerance be removed. To put
it in the simplest terms, we are
all in business together. Intoler-
ance is a species of boycott and
any business of job boycott is a
cancer in the economic body Of
the nation.
Let's not apologize for the
amazing variety of our human
material here in America Let us
rather glory in it as the source
of our robust spirit and opulent
achievements. Let's not deny
that there are differences in race
and that our country has all the
fifty-seven varieties of Gods
humanity. Let us merely make
clear that these differences can
not be measured on any scale OF
good, better and best. They are
all equally valid and all must
continue to contribute to the
magnificent mosaic of American
life.
