There are several clergymen, many lo cal preachers, plenty of Protest ants, some Catholics and some Jews. We are not likely therefore to attack freedom of religion or freedom of the press. As to free dom of speech, believe me, as leader of our party for ten years I have never lacked candid critics in my own ranks and I have been too long in the opposition not to be a strong supporter of freedom of speech and freedom of the in dividual to live his own life, but that freedom is conditioned by his not cramping and restricting the freedom of his fellow men. There is and always will be scope for enterprise, but when big busi ness gets too powerful so that it becomes monopolistic, we hold it is not safe to leave it in private hands. “Further, in the world today we believe, as do most people in Britain, that one must plan the economic activities of the coun try if wc are to assure the com mon man a fair deal. One further word. You may think that the La bor Party consists solely of wage earners. It is pur pride that we draw the majcMjity of ‘our mem bers from the ranke of wage earners, and many Os oir minis ters have spent long years work ing with their hands in the coal mines, the factory or in trans portation. But our party today is drawn from all classes of society —professional men, business men and what are sometimes called the privileged classes. The old school tie can still be seen on the government benches. It is really a pretty good cross-section of the population. "You may ask why do people from tlie well-to-do classes belong to our party ? May I refer to my own experience—forty years ago as a young man studying law. just down from Oxford Univer sity, I visited for the first time my constituency, Limehouse —a very poor district in East Lon don. I learned from it first hand the facts of poverty in our great cities. I became convinced that we must build our society on a juster foundation. The- result was that I joined the Socialist move ment, and eventually after many years of striving I find myself Prime Minister of Great Britain. THE SOUTHERN NEWS All Must Share Responsibility, Since THE NATION IS MADE OF COMMUNITIES Where Everyone Can Work For Unity I By MRS. J C. SALES FLETCHER. N. C. The United Nations Charter, drawn up by the delegates at the San Francisco Conference, begins with the impressive words—“We the people of the United Nations.” The charter is now in the hands of the governments of fifty na tions. If that document is to be come the basis of an enduring peace, we the people must make it so. You might think “what can 1 do about it.” 1 would like to mention just a few things that, as I see it. we women can do about it. First of all we mi st do all we can to combat the cyni cism that seems to be growing to disparage the peace and the pos sibilities of realizing the aims of the Charter. In other words when we hear it criticized we must stand up for it. We know that nations as well as groups and in dividuals have their short com ings. and we imtist have the vis ion to see beyond these. Even in families the children will have their contentions and yet these are not allowed to break up the fam ily. So in the great family of na tions things may not always run smoothly, but that need not break up the relationship. Then, we women should stop be ing “too busy.” We all knov. women whose stock answer is “no time" to almost every request for help. They arc the first to com plain when things go wrong. It is easy to say “Too busy" to the demands of our children’s school, our church and our community. It is easy but it isn’t fair to let a few do what we should all be doing. The nation is made up of communities and as we make our community so will our nation be. We women must accept respon sibilities. We need to find our place on committees that will form the policies of our civic groups. We need to concern our selves about the health condi- CHRLSTMAS GREETINGS AS FIRST-CLASS MAIL Because of the many advan tages that will result, postmasters should urge mailers to send their holiday greetings at the first-class rate of postage, explaining that when so sent the greetings may be sealed and contain written messages not otherwise permitted, therefore having a personal ap peal which is. of course, more highly appreciated by the reci pients: that such greetings arc dispatched and delivered first, giv en directory service, and. it nec essary, forwarded without addi tional also, if undeliver abl«. they a'e |returned without charge, prbv.ded the sender's re turn card is shown on the en velope. On the other hand, printed Christmas greetings mailed in un- I sealed envelopes at the third class rate which cannot be de ' livered as addressed, because of I the removal of the addressee or I tor some reason, must often be i destroyed as waste,' thereby caus- I ! ing disappointment. Greetings 1 I mailed at the third-class rate are I not entitled to the free forward i ing privilege accorded those mail ed in sealed envelopes at the first class rate and, consequently, the senders in many cases never know that the greetings were not re ceived by the addressees. This would not occur if the greetings were mailed sealed at the first class rate. The reasons that impelled me to join the labor movement are the I same that actuated so many of the members of my party, espec ially the great number of young men from the fighting services. Man’s material discoveries have outpaced his moral progress. The greatest task that faces us today is to bring home to all people be fore it is too late that our civili zation can only survive by the < acceptance and practice in inter national relations and in our nati onal life of the Christian prin ciple we are members one of an other.

We need to concern ourselves about th<- hungry, and helpless and home less in Europe and in Asia. We must cease to be merely passive home makers. We must study the number one purpose of the Unit ed Nations Charter- —the security of our homes, and communities. We have won the war, but that is not enough. We must not re lax, we must not forget the world catastrophe. We found in two wars that we can’t escape the world and its problems. We mist be willing to share the world’s suffering. We must pray. We so often fail to realize the power of prayer. We must win I the peace. We can make the United Nations Charter live by each of us thinking, acting, shar ing and praying. We’ve a story to tell to the na tions That shall turn their hearts to the right, A story of truth and sweetness A story pf peace and light. We've a song to be sung to the nations. That shall lift their hearts to the Lord A song that shall conquer evil And shatter the spear and the sword. INDUCEMENTS OFFERED FOR ENLISTMENT IN REGULAR U. S.
