Hbcrty Every once in a while I feel like Waving the American flag aud giving three cheers for Uncie Sam. What set me off this time is the last two or three decision? of the Supreme Court, especially the one in which the Court reasserted the right of the prem to free expression without restraint by any governmental authority. Of course, the press is responsible if it prints Kibels or scurrilous matter of any kind; but the court pointed out again that no power exists, either in Congress or the states, to say in ad vance to any newspaper, "You may not print that". It seems to me that the very roots of all our liberties are bound up in this liberty of the press. The first thing a dictator does is to suppress or regulate the newspapers. Wie will never lose our liberties as Americans so long as anybody can set up u print ing press and tell the truth about what is going on. R*DIO . 'S . ? . rUbts I agree with my friend David Lau rence tlnat radio broadcasting should be as free ?s the newspaper in. As things now stand, there is a Federal commission in Washington which has power to say what may and may not be broadcast. I don't believe that thit power has ever been abused, but it ought not to ex&st. Radio, like the press, ought t*> be '?emitted to say anything it wants to Say?and sliould be punished, like tihe press, if it uses indecent or pro fane language or utters a libel reflect ing falsely against the character of any person. In the long run truth always pre vails. Sooner or later those who try to deceive people are found out. In the meantime, I am for letting "them all talk as long aA anybody wants to listen. OPPORTUNITY .... fctoy One thing that makes me feel pa triotic is the frequent instances I en counter of young folk who have found opportunities ito get ahead afa the world and make something of themselves wlien all around thcta folk were wailing that there were no op por'unities left for the young. 1 here are greater opportunities than ever for young people of character, who are willing to work. Six young t'ri. ads of my daughter,aJl of them un der thirty, were at the house the other night. Ali of them have had to mak?* thei/r own way in the world, and all iiave made good in spite of these years of depression. One girl is breeding dogs and making a good liv ing at it. One young man is getting along by collecting and selling meta from discarded automobiles. Two of the girls started a laundry three yeats ago, specializing in washing baby clothes. They run three delivery wagons now. Another boy and his brother have turned their taste for am V atour photography to good aecnint and do a good business photographing busi moss men in their own offices. Opportunity gone T Nalt a bit of it. HISTORY and us At a dinner party in New York, the other evening one of the gueats, a frenchman, asked mo a question about American history, which I was, for tunately, able to answer. "IVe been in your country trro years new", he said," and the longer 1 stay, the more I am impressed with the durability of your institutions. You've been running now for 150 j years or so under a system of govern ment which has enabled you to become I the greatest people in the world. Over in Europe we have changed ewry principle of government many times. I'm still a Frenchman, but I like your system better than my own counftry**. "Since Washington become presi dent of the United Staes, lYaaee has had five different kinds/>f govetwment. Our present Republic is only sixty years old. We throw out our Cabinet ? and President every little while.
