Thanksgiving approaches again this year, and on this occasion the presence of war abroad makes more important than
‘ever our American habit of pausing for a day and counting
our blessings. Even the difference of opinion this year concerning the date on which the event will be celebrated points
to something American for which we ought to be thankful—.
the democratic right to disagree about matters involving us
solely as individuvals.
What, in 1939, are some of the things for which it is
worthwhile to pause in whatever we are doing at the moment
and list some of the reasons we are glad that we"are Americans. ;
: We should be thankful. most of all. for two precious
heritages our forefathers gave us, heritages that it is worth
everything in the world for us to preserve. These two fundamentals are freedom and opportunity. They are characteristic
of America in a manner and degree not matched in any other
land.
We should be thankful. in a world at war, that we are at
peace with all nations, and that there exists in this country, a
* _ public will to peace. We should be grateful for our system of
; fepresentative democracy, which guarantees the fact that this
public will to peace will be heeded.
We should be thankful for the high standard of living
this country possesses for the fact that its real wealth, which
_is measured in terms of automobiles and radios and the material objects that all Americans can use and enjoy, is more widely distributed than is that of any other nation. We should be
even more thankful that the system under which we live is
designed to raise those standards even higher in the future.
While other nations are. at war, or remain precarious
neutrals with armies poised on their borders, we in America
look forward to a future growing before our eyes in the labor* atories of industry, where new products and new services are
being developed that will mean more jobs and payrolls.
But we must not merely be thankful. This opportunity
is also an obligation: That obligation lies in our making every
effort to use the advantages we have here to the utmost—not
to be fainthearted, not to neglect the opportunities that exist
here, not to abuse the freedom we ate granted.
Thus Thaksgiving this yéar ought at once to be a day in
which we count our blessings, and one on which we remember the responsibilities that are otirs—Contributed.
, An Important Distinction .
The recent indictment of ‘the nominal head of the American Communist Party, Earl Browder, turns the spotlight
upon the contrast between two ways of life and two habits
of thought. ° Ue
Browder has been indicted for travelling to Moscow on
forged passports, an act which he frankly admitted in sworn
testimony before the Dies Committee a short time ago. Now
he is about to stand trial, protected by all the Constitutional
rights that guarantees any citizen of this country, no matter
fiow heinous his crime, a fair hearing. : :
Picture a similar situation if it had occurred under one of
the systems under which these protections do not exist, and to_,wards which Browder, if he had his way, would willingly drive
this country. The victim would not receive an open and fair
hearing but a star chamber proceeding, and as soon as the ad_ Mission was drawn from him that he had used forged passports, the firing squad would be trotted out to do its work.
_._~ Yet, in this country where the rights of the individual are
_ 80 jealously guarded, the followers of the Communist chief
are even now complaining that he is being persecuted merely
because he is a Red.
___. We trust—indeed, we know—that Browder will have his
Constitutional right to a free trial. But it is important to make
the distinction, so frequently and easily neglected by the enemies of this country as soon as they happen to step out of
bounds, between the just protection of citizens and_ their
‘right to violate the country's laws in the interest of underning the very Constitution to which they so brazenly apA TIMELY REMINDER ___

that early in the depression, on October 17, 1930, I announced
the formation of a national organization for unemployment
relief, under Colonel Woods, stating at the time: ‘As a nation
we must prevent hunger and cold to those of our people who
are in honest difficulties.’ At my recommendation, Federal
public works were doubled and other necessary organized
rélief was established.
“On February 3, 1931, on suggestion that! these measures might prove inadequate, I stated: ‘I am willing to pledge
myself that if the time should ever come that voluntary agencies of the country together with local and State governments
are unable to find resources with which to: prevent hunger
and suffering in my country, . will ask the aid of every resource of the Federal Government.’ 4
