WHAT SHOULD a business firm
DO when it finds that wage de-

day. Some of them are taking

to the South. 1t will leave the

PROTECTING OUR RIGHTS

AS we go about the very i'm
Iporta4t business of extending
the recognition of human rights
to Americans who as yet do not
enjoy them fully, We have anoth-
er responsibility, equally import
ant, where human rights are con-
cerned. 1t is to protect our rights
against Communists and Fascists
who would, if they could, estab-
lish the kind Of government in
America which does not, either
in principle or practice, recogn-
iZe individual rights at all.
We are obligated, in the name
Of all that is American, to pro-
tect our rights against Com
munists lest we loose our free
dom as certain European ma
lions have los theirs under
Communist domination. Disre-
gard of this fact, by those who
fight for human rights, would be
a serious error.
Some seem to think that civil
rights need no protection. They
forget that failure to protect
evil rights in Germany against
the Nazis gave power to Hitler
who promptly suppressed the
peoples rihts. They forget that
a similar failure to protect civil
rights has brought Communists
to power in the nations of East
ern Europe where, under Com
NUNS m,human rights have been
suppressed.
