TODAY and
TOMORROW
(By Frank Parker Stockbridge)
AMERICA . . . . 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. We
j think we know a lot, but one tiling
