forces from without which are
threatening our way Of life. World
events are sufficiently well known
to make clear what | am talking
about. But think it is worth talk
ing about-what are we going to
defend here in America?
We can best approach this, per-
haps, by the process Of elimina-
ton, We do want to defend our
essential freedoms - freedom Of
thought, freedom of religion, and
the basic guarantees incorporated
in the Bill Of Rights and in the
basic laws Of our land. We want
to defend our essential decency as
free human beings. We want to pre-
serve our spirit Of tolerance for
all our fellow men and we want
to preserve and to strengthen the
security Of our whole nation.
But | don't think any Of us want
to defend and preserve the poverty
and the despair Of third Of our
nation in the midst Of potential
plenty. We don't want to preserve
manners, customs, traditions, and
economic and social patterns that
deny millions Of American citizens
the right to participate in their
own government because they lack
the money with which to buy the
privilege Of voting.
We don't want to preserve or
defend those economic patterns
which permit millions Of farm fam
lilies to exc out a bare existence
on tired and eroded land and mil
lions more to wander across the
country in worn-out jalopies, seek
ing jobs that do not exist. We don't
want to defend or preserve those
elements Of our social organiza-
ton which force large segments Of
our population to dwell in unspeak-
able slums when they might have
decent homes. We don't want to
preserve those elements which
force our children to play on refuse
dumps and in city streets when
they might have parks and fresh
air. We don't want to preserve
those elements which force IS mil
lion Americans to remain under
nourished when they might have
proper food.
But for all Of our faults and
our weaknesses, and we might
just as well be honest with our
selves and admit that they exist,

elsewhere. We have something
here that is worth defending, that
is worth fighting for. that Is
worth making sacrifices for. But,
at the same time, we ought not

long stretch of road ahead Of
US, and that it is our purpose to
keep going ahead and not to
stop and wait for the rest of the
world to catch up with us. In
travelling toward the goal that
lies at the end Of the road, If

few of many. First Of all, you are
going to have to approach these
problems with the idea Of putting
something of yourself into the eff
fort Of their solution as well as
getting something out of it. You
are going to have to give Of your
time, your energy, your ideas, your
money, and, for the most part, you
won't get many thanks for your
efforts.
What specifically can you do
about better government? You
can do everything within your
power to see that every member
of your community is informed
of the issues and has the OppOr-
tunity to vote and participate in
governmental activity. This
means work. 1t means keeping
fully informed yourself. 1t means
nominating and electing to Office
candidates who are Trustworthy
and who will not serve a few
special interests.
What specifically can you do to
rid your country Of its slums and
to provide decent homes for your
fellow citizen? You can get the
facts on housing in your commun-
ity and you can work up some
interest in getting something done
about it. There are various gov
ernmental agencies-federal, state
and local-that can help you. But
remember that it is you who are
going to have to carry the ball
When you personally would be
willing to live and raise your fam
lily in the poorest house in your
community, you can consider your
job is done.
What specifically can you do tc
protect the rights of labor in your
own community? The first thing
you can do is to get the truth about
labor, and the labor organizations
in your community and, for the
most part, you will have to &c
beyond the daily press to do it
You can help your fellow workers
to organize and bargain collective.
ly, and you can remember that or.
ganiZation and collective bargain,
ing are rights and not privileges.
What can you do specifically tc
protect and extend civil liberties
You can be on your guard against
public officers who overstep theil
lawful bounds. Be vigilant but no
a vigilante. Obey the law but re
member that laws are designed t
serve the needs of men and not the
reverse.
There are many more things
that religious youth can do and
are doing. and l need not recite
a longer list. The main thing is
to do something, to take an ac-
tive part in the going life of
your community. Indifference and
passive attitude willing
ness to take things for granted
have permitted freedom to be
wiped out in many parts of the
world. Charting the American
way is your job. Until you are
willing to change places with
the lOwliest member Of society,
your job still lies ahead.
