PRINCIPLES REMAIN

Clement Attlee, the head of Brit
aims Labor government, recently ex-
/ pressed concern over the attitude
/ of some. self-described liberals who
seem willing to limit and perhaps
abrogate individual liberties if that
will help them attain their econo-
mic and theological ends. Mr.. Att
lee intimated that left wingers of
this stripe can be found in the ranks
of his Labor Party, and warned that
every precaution must be taken to
. protect basic freedoms in a time
of great economic and social change.
The Prime Minister is to be con-
graduated on this courageous stand.
But what he did not say is that
the creation of super government,
such as England is on the verge of
adopting. which dominates every
phase of a nations life, inevitably
paves the way for the destruction
of liberty and oppression of the
people. The British Labor govern
ment is itself case in point. No
one believes that Mr. Attlee or his
immediate staff seek to break down
the freedoms which Britons earned
b TIA OA6AA RAOO0H GEAAkAA 4AACN dlG
sincere believers in the rights of
the individual But the principles
upon which the Labor governments
main policies are built are a direct
threat to those rights and freedoms.
The enormous powers which the
government has taken for itself, if
exerted by officials with a total
itarian mentality, could be used to
destroy representative government,
freedom of press and speech-all
free enterprise and result in the
creation of dictatorship
Men pass, but principles remain.
The Russian revolution was fought
in the name of liberty, and the
works of Lenin, the leader, con-
stantly affirm the need for free
dom. But other men came to power,
and every concept of freedom was
perverted and violated. The rally
ing cry of Hitler, it should be re-
membered, was liberty and democ-
racy. It's practical result was the
concentration camp.
The only safeguard a free people
can have is a government of limited
powers, which is never permitted
to dominate the economic life of
the nation. Once government de-
cides who shall work and who shall
not, once it controls all the. purse
strings, once it becomes a mass en-
ployer, the end of individual free
dom is in sight Most of Europe
is now a miserable example of that
fact

She also paid tri- bute to what she termed the splen- did acoustics of the 20th Century Theatre.
