Recently National Newspaper
Week was observed throughout
the nation. Editors from coast
to coast editorialized on the
rights of Americans to know
and how our American news-
papers have fought and con-
tinue to fight to guard that
precious right.
Another of our cherished
heritages is free speech. Now
just exactly what is meant by
free speech? It is simply the

right to “sound off” our indivi-
dual opinions or does it go a
bit deeper than that?
Every right that an indivi-
dual enjoys involves a duty. If
that duty is not performed, the
right is eventually lost. To con-
j tinue to enjoy the right of free
speech involves the duty of
giving free hearing to the other
fellow when he exercises his
prerogative of free speech. Free
speech is linked irrevocably to
free hearing because both rep-
resent the determination of a
free people to hear both sides
of any question pertinent to
their welfare, so that they can
weigh the arguments and ar-
rive at an intelligent decision
regarding it.
This brings us to still another
freedom. Free speech and free
hearing have a senior partner—
“free thinking.” This senior
partner is the most vital of the
partnership. Without free
thinking, free speech and hear-
ing are futile: as useless as
bathing suits for Eskimos or fur
coats for residents of the Tro-
pics. Free speech and hearing
in themselves are of no value
if minds are closed; if precon- i
ceived ideas preclude open
minds; if free thinking does
not prevail.
In its broader sense and real:
significance (something we are
prone to overlook i. free speech
not only implies the right to
speak one’s mind is to have
one’s speech fall on ears and
minds willing to listen honestly
and unselfishly.
Free thinking is not easy —
it is oftimes hard work. All too
often emotions are allowed to
dictate our decisions. How
many times do we permit our-
selves to be influenced by tran-
sitory sympathy for an indivi-
dual or group to the utter dis- !
regard of what will be best for
the most people for the great-
est length of time?
The unfortunate peoples in
dictator-ridden countries would
give their very souls to have or
to regain the right of free
speech. Too late they realize |
they have been tricked by glib
orators making promises im-
possible of . accomplishment.
They were so dazzled by elo-
quence that they failed to
think things through, and
thereby gave up their freedom.
We must not let such a catas-
trophe happen to us here in
America.
We listen to a speech — an
oration which stirs us to the
very core. We give free speech
IN HOMETOWN AMERICA
a hearing. But there is where j
free thinking must come into
play. Emotion must not be per-
mitted to banish reason. If on
the next day we can remember
what the speech was about; if
we can recall the salient points
thereof, it was an excellent
speech. If in retrospection, we
can remember the oration piece
by piece, with the spell of the
orator no lonegr upon us, it
was a most excellent speech. If
on the other hand, we can re-
member little of it, free think-
i ing demands that we classify
the speaker as a shallow, super-
ficial “wind-bag,” and entire-
i ly dismiss from our minds any !
effect which his speech tem-1
poranly may have had upon
us.
Wartime, of course, calls for
many sacrifices — it brings
with it, among other things, a
eurtaiment of free speech. We
must reasonably and patrioti-
cally exercise our right to free
speech when we are grappling
with a foreign enemy. However,
even during war-time, we still
have the right to discuss and
criticize the methods which the
Government uses in prosecuting
the war — but we must not
oppose its war objectives, nor
divulge information that might
be helpful to the enemy.
Yes! By all means we must
resist every attempt to infringe

The Reds and their helpers are
trying to divide the people of
America, pit group against
group. Their tactics arc to
create confusion, and promote
jealousies and hatred between
groups. Thus the Kiwanis-spon-

a blow against the Red tyranny.
