eventually lost. To continue to en-
JOY the right OF free speech in
wolves the duty of giving free hear
ing to the other fellow when he
exercises his prerogative of free
speech. Free speech is linked ir-
revocably TO free hearing because
both represent the determination
of a free people to hear both sides
of any question pertinent to their
welfare, so that they can weigh the
arguments and arrive at an intelli-
gent decision regarding il.
This brings us to still another
freedom Free speech and free
hearing have senior partner
free thinking" This senior part
ner is the most vital OF the partner
ship. Without free thinking, free
speech and hearing are futile; as
useless as bathing suits for Eski-
mos or fur coats for residents OF
the Tropics. Free speech and hear
ing in themselves are of no value
| if minds are closed if preconceived
ideas preclude open minds; if free
thinking does not prevail.
In its broader sense and real sig
nificance something we are prone
to overlook. free speech not only
implies the right to speak ones
mind but to have ones speech fall
on ears and minds willing to listen
honestly and unselfishly.
Free thinking is not easy-it is
ofttimes hard work. All too often
emotions are allowed 10 dictate oul
decisions. How many times do we
permit ourselves to be influenced
by transitory sympathy for an in
dividual or group to the utter dis
regard of what will be best for the
most people for the greatest length
of time?
The unfortunate peoples in die
tator-rdden countries would give
their very souls to have or to re
gain the right of free speech. Toe
late they realize they have beer
tricked by glib orators MAKING
promises impossible of accomplish
ment. They We're so dazzled by clio
quence that they failed to think
things through, and thereby gave
up their freedom. We must not let
such catastrophe happen to Il.
here in America.

which stirs US to the very core We

be permitted TO Danish reason. ii
on the next day we can remember
what the speech was about; if we
can recall the salient points there
of, il was an excellent speech If
in retrospection, we can remember
the Grafton piece by piece. with
the spell of the orator no longer
upon us, it was a most excellent
speech. If on the other hand, we
can remember a little of it, free
thinking demands that we classify
the speaker as a shallow, superficial
''wind-bag," and entirely dismiss
from our minds any effect which
his speech temporarily may have
had upon us.
Wartime, of course, calls for
many sacrifices-it brings with it,,
among other things. Il curtailment
of free speech. We must reasonably
and periodically exercise our right
to free speech when we are Crap
ping with a foreign enemy. How
ever, even during wartime, we still
have the right 70 discuss and criti-
ciZe the methods which the Govern
ment uses in prosecuting the war
but we must not oppose its war
detectives, nor divulge information
that might be helpful to the enemy.
Yes By all means we must re-
sist every attempt to infringe on
our right to free speech. free hear
ing and free thinking; we must
fight to the last ditch every attack
on our free press, free radio, free
television. free churches free
schools and free motion pictures
and stage, except where censorship
or restriction IS necessary during
war for our national safety
We must maintain open ears and
open minds; We must manifest a
willingness, yes, even an eagernesS
to hear both sides of every ques-
ton. That ever has been the
American Way"-pray God it al

midable of them is Governor Har-
riman. who has announced that he
will not personally enter any Of
the primaries but whose expert
enced political supporters are
eagerly hoping Mr.. Stevenson will
enter some states where a reverse
almost certainly will be encoun-
tered.
This would take a good deal of
wind out Of his campaign and his
managers say it is a completely
unnecessary risk for a man with
nearly enough delegate votes to
nominate him on the first ballot.
Already. say his advisers, he is in
sight of his goal To risk destroying
his position as the outstanding
candidate is foolish. Stay out,
urge the practical politicians around
him. Let the other fellow do it.
Let them win by default Unless
you give them a chance to beat
you the carrying OF these primaries
will mean nothing" Inasmuch as
Governor Hartman. his strongest
opponent, will not enter any pri-
mary, there seems considerable
soundness in this view
However, there are some things
that rather detract from it. One is
that Mr.. Stevenson already has
publicly announced that he viii

redoubtabIe Senator Hubert Humph
rey and his organization Privately
he also has indicated that he will

is not to be counted among his as
sets In fact, except for the clever
~ gerrymandered little district out
there now represented in the House
by son James, it is not easy to
think of any other spot where the
Roosevelt family would help a can
didate very much.
Added to the school of thought"
which wants the slightly bewildered
Adlai to keep out Of all the pri-
maries, and the other which wants
him to go in only those where vic
tory is practically assured. there is
the third. which urges him TO enter
even those states where the result
might be uncertain or unfavorable,
such, for example, as Maryland. The
argument for entering these states
is that the decision would inject
into the Stevenson campaign the
color and courage which it now
seems so utterly to lack. His recent
advocacy Of moderation" in the
character OF his campaign brought
no favoring response either from
his protested friends among the
labor bosses. from Governor Harri-
man, his most CONSPICUOUS oppo-
nent, or from eX-President Truman,
widely known as Give En- He'll
Harry.
Undoubtedly. moderation" is the
present MOOD of the country and
makes sense. But ii just isn't what
the practical fellows who are in
control Of the Democratic party
want It is not the road they want
to travel and not the way they
think they can win Their victories
since 1886 have not been 'moder-
ate" victories and their candidates
have shown slight regard for mod
Grafton. Quite the contrary. An an
nouncement as to his intentions
concerning the primaries cannot be
indefinitely postponed by Mr.
Stevenson. He has got to decide
pretty soon. An interesting thing
about Mr.. Stevenson at this time
is that he seems to have more dis
paragers among the Democratic
politicians than he has among Re.
publicans

AdIai And The Primaries
Friends of Mr. Adlai E. Stevenson
here report the Jolly little fellow
in a deplorable state Of INDIGESTION
about whether or not to enter the
Democratic presidential primaries
to be held in about eighteen states
beginning in March and running
through the summer The decision
has to be made within the next few
days and there are distinctly two
schools of thought to say
three
AT the moment Mr. Stevenson is
unable to tell to which he belongs.
There is a certain danger in what
ever he decides and his counselors
and advisers are widely divided
+ about the situation. For example.
one group, headed by his campaign
manager, Nh James Finnegan,
strongly urges him not to take the
risk involved They point out that
the New Hampshire primaries are
held early in March and four years
ago were carried by Senator Estes
Kefauver, who is certain to run in
them again and who is one of sew
eral aspirants whose hope is to
prevent Mr.. Stevenson from being
nominated on the first ballot
Included among these is Cover
