MONG the strongest and most tenacious instincts of mankind is the hunger for individual liberty. Through- out the recorded history of civilization, our forefathers have engaged in an almost continuous series of struggles to win and maintain greater freedom of thought, of word and of action. Seldom did they win these struggles without blood- shed, never without sacrifice. The substantial privileges they gained -- freedom of the person, freedom of conscience and worship, freedom of speech and the press, civic and political freedom, freedom of commerce and trade - these are among the heritages we have enjoyed in greater degree than any other people. We have come to regard them as our natural and in- alienable rights. In our zeal to extend and defend our individual freedom we have sometimes forgotten that its exercise demands self- restraint, lest it infringe upon the freedom of others. We have too complacently witnessed the curtailment of the liberties of our neighbors. Particularly is this true in the field of commerce. Now at last it has become apparent that freedom of commerce - the privilege of exchanging goods and services in a free market - is not only an important liberty in itself but also one of the strongest safeguards for all other liberties. It is highly fitting, therefore, that this . . . Commerce Violet should be dedicated to Liberty. The spirit of liberty still lives among those European peoples who have lost the substance of their individual liberties. It will not be diminished in America by threats from outside, nor by the internal restric- tions of individual liberties that may temporarily be required. Instead we confidently hope that it will eventually receive world-wide recognition, that individuals and nations will accept the responsibilities as well as the privileges of liberty. GEORGE BURTON HOTCHKISS in the foreword to the 1941 VIOLET
