Editor What 10 = iibeFalf Well,

ton, for there IL no sweeping an
swer that will include all those who
call themselves liberals.
There Ii q tsmperamentAl human
difference among liberals. There
phAsiEinR different issues, but they
all have the same principle. Your
editorial Of March 10 vas very good
and true and u pointed this out.
A moral or humane issue may va
riously win the chief support Of
some. while others proclaim other
Issues Of greater Importance, !
am convinced that todRy's personal
liberty OF individual freedom over
shadows all the other issues Of tho
hour.
A liberal should be broad minded,
for liberty means open-InlndednSaS
and \ belief In reasonable discus
sion rather than forsibls measures.
A liberal should have q love for
fair play and freedom, . consider
ate spirit % Indulgence,
This means that one who speaks
Of an Idea which contains q strain
Of btgotry. declaring that the idea
should not have free circulation, II

When you try 10 pass laws 10

Second, the General said that,

for that reason would suffer In non

We lose our prejudiess In . go

Of power and . shared respect
and these are unacceptable eoncom-
ltants Of any true democracy.
There IL neither shared power nor
mutuality Of respect where any
group 10 rslsgated TO an inferior

The Negro does not desire that
any man be shade" 10 like him.

because Of the amount Of training
