saps the moral strength of its ad-
herentS. Those who regiment are
slaves no less than those who
are regimented. What we must
do is to work in fellowship, in
the spirit of friendliness.
We must learn how to work
together; how - the way of CO.
operation; work - coordinated
actions for the nation as a
whole; together -. with mutual
trust and respect. This applies
to every one: those who operate
our factories or who work in
them; those who toll on farms,
in offices, or at home. All must
work together with. an aware
ness that what they do or neglect
doing will determine the future
of the country.
We have no right to take
stclass" sides. We must work for
the common good, in groups if
we choose, but we must never
forget that the welfare of the ma
ton as a whole transcendS the
private interest of any group.
This is the essence of democracy.
1t is for the preservation of this
way of life we fight.

This Is Not
A Class War
By Ruth Taylor

TvHE war we are fighting today
Il is not class war. This is a
peoples war not in the prole-
tartan sense but a war in which
all the people, rich or poor; en-
ployer or employee; black or
white; Protestant, Catholic or
Jew are fighting for the right to
survive as free men.
1t is war in which all Ameri-
cans have part. We cannot
fight Communism by crushing
any group in this country. We
cannot destroy the labor move
ment and retain free business en-
terprise. We cannot destroy in
dustry and keep a free labor
movement or avoid collective
farming. We cannot damn one
minority without damning all
In the countries. behind the Iron
Curtain it is not free associations
of employers alone that suffer.
Organized labor as we know it
is also abolished. Neither colIec-
tive bargaining nor colIabora-
ton of labor and industry is al
lowed.
We must remember these
things today for the enemy is
attacking us not merely on land,
on sea and in the air, but also in
our hearts and heads, taking adj
vantage of every ignorance, or
every prejudice, or every weak
ness-trying to set group against
group, class against class.
There should be a little more
of the Golden Rule and a little
less Blackstone in our relations
with each other. Our entire Sys-
tenn of life is on trial. How it
proves itself will determine the
future. After alive are all
workers, no matter what our job
- and any man with an insur-
ance policy or money in the bank
is partner in industry. When
we have had prosperity-all of
us had it; when depression
struck-all felt it.
We must not be blind to those
things for which we are fighting
freedom of thought and dis
cussion and worship. We must
not merely concede them-we
must practice them. Intolerance
