r' ,L .F ., Q11 , r in . Miss Erma Babcock Secretarv to Mr Vaughn vi ,-at xi b . A 1 -Hi is-six X llz',,, 7642 zqmmlcan Way We have built up our civiliza- tion here, and drawn our social pat- tern, on a basis of individual free- dom. lt includes freedom of worship, of speech and press and assembly, of residence and movement, liberty to pursue an occupation of one's own choice, to acquire and own property, and to enter into voluntary associa- tion with others in enterprise, and the right to participate in govern- ment through representatives whose arbitrary power is r e st r i c te d by basic and statutory law and who are periodically accountable to the peo- ple. These rights do not constitute the whole range of American free- dom, but are among the most fund- amental. The conviction persists t ha t this individual freedom must be main- tained--limited only in order to pre- serve the maximum of it for all. For in the freest possible exercise of indi- vidual initiative and energy we see the mainspring of our past achieve- ment and the guaranty of a greater future--the fulfillment of the prom- ise of American life. There is no other plan of human relations we know of that has pro- duced or is producing a like result. Certainly the totalitarian sy ste m s now spreading over Europe--and not without their advocates here-bear no fruit that we crave. We believe in hard work-but in occupations of our own choice, in discipline-but self- disciplineg in individual duties and group duties--but not imposed by arbitrary power, in cooperation-but of a free people. Free institutions, however, affording the maximum of individual opportunity are not an accident of nature. Generations of vigor- ous, industrious, and adventurous people have established these institutions. Only people of the same characteristics can safe- guard and maintain them. A corollary of individual freedom is individual responsi- bility, each generation must earn again, by hard work, devotion to duty, loyal coopera- tion, productive achievement, its right to be free. Liberty is not a heritage but a fresh conquest for each generation. Through all the changed conditions that our increasing mastery of nature creates, through all the adjustments and readjust- ments of human relations that such changes require, we are insistent on maintaining our freedom. Essentially, this ideal, interpreted in practice as well as our social experience and social intelligence permit, is the American Way. MM! Page Teri
