j I have always felt that instead of

public’s opinion on public questions
they are a reflection of the opinion

in line by making them berieve
that the side of the minority is the

It pleases us therefore* to see
Senator Taft of Ohio step out and

Thia may be outstating the case

LANGSTON’S IVY LEAF CLUB MEMBERS
the National Advisory Council on
Academic Freedom, declared that
"the Democratic concept of free
dom cannot be a fair-weather con
cept. for if liberty of speech and
thought aid inquiry are essential'
in time of peace, they are all the
more essential in periods of stress."
Both the President and his attor
ney general have urged state and
local police to coperate with the
Federal government in r straint of
illegal espionage and plots against
the public peace. If our manu
facturers produce war materials for
the allies, we may expert j-ome
attempts at sabotage, and it is com
mon sense to forestall them.
There is rot much danger that
domestic or imported agitators will
stir up any part of the American
people to revolt in favor of the
Nazi or Communist system, but the
efforts should be discouraged, just
as efforts at burglary are dis
couraged. But we had better leave
these meters to the police, and the
police, in turn, had better be guided
by the Bill of Rights. Our greatest
danger from war or from those
who sympathize with strange doc
trines is not material but spiritual.
Democracy's best reinforcement In
times like .these is. more democracy.
