It has to some extent ceased to be a thing considered clearly worth while In its own right, and has become a trading medium for the buying of material goods or physical security. The people of some very large sectors of the world have consented with apparent willingness to relinquish liberty, if in return they receive food,' raiment and1protection from certain imaginary foes. For the first time in history men have ceased to fight for freedom, and they yield what has always been considered a precious human possession, with hardly a sigh of regret. This apparent indifference to the idea of freedom is a 'supremely valuable human right makes the fervid devotion of a Washington or a Lincoln seem rather fantasticallyidealistic in comparison, yet it has been just such fantastic idealism in the past that has given the present such liberty as it has in the ordering of life. The whole history of mankind, in fact, has been a struggle toward freedom. Men have been inoculated with the notion that the thing that distinguishes humanity is the power of choice, the privilege of controlling and directing the processes of life. They have held this right to be so' important that wars have been fought to protect it. There are those who have counted freedom more than life itself. The result of this attitude is that there has been an accelerating, force in political and economic life mak­ ing toward the achievement of a larger reality of freedom as the years,have gone by, and even today when retrogression shows itself, the ideal has not been abandoned, and some of the most aggressive dictatorships claim freedom of the in­ dividual life as the ultimate objective, No really important forward step in political organization or economic endeavor ever has been taken except as the, re­ sult of some spiritual impulse toward greater freedom. This was true in the American Revolution,, when the colonies fought for political independence. Back of the revolt was the desire for a larger measure of individual freedom. It was true in the war between the states. President Lincoln had only one avowed purpose, the preservation of the Union: The war would not have been fought to a successful conclusion, how­ ever, except for the impulse given by the long campaign* to extend the meaning of freedom to the slaves. Freedom is a spiritual quality. God seems to have removed from man, in order to distinguish him from other living things, all the natural restrictions upon activity. Most animals are subject to instinctive restraints. Man, by reason of his intel­ ligence, is able to surmount these restraints and act in cofn- plet'e freedom. . i There are, however, certain restrictions upon freedom that even the divinely granted free will of man cannot overcome. These grow out of social relationships. This is why there never can be absolute liberty either of thought or of action. There Can be all the liberty that men really need, but there are limits,, and it is a rather strange paradox that sometimes the greatest measure-Nof real freedom comes-from the voluntary limitation that the individual places upon his own freedom. For instance, a wisely conceived -and properly enforced traffic rule adds to freedom rather than restricting it. Laws that grow out of intelligent consideration of social j likewise, needs do not unduly or unfairly limit individual freedom. There can be no general freedom of the whole group if there is not an intelligent consideration by everyone of the rights of every­ one, else. Freedom depends to some extent upon the rational and voluntary restriction of the inherent human rights of the individual. It is to a large extent true that no'one can be free until everyone is free. It was a realization of this fact that led to the freeing of the slaves. As long as any considerable number of people are in bondage the liberties of the whole people, are limited.. The reason for this is that liberty hangs upon justice and fairness. Paul declares that where the spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. The spirit of the Lord must be pre-eminently a spirit of fairness and justice. The oldest ideas of God emphasize the justice of God, a justice that is hard and cold. A justice that -well as small and have not found a single one that giveB Roosevelt one hundred per cent support in his plan to pack the United^ States Supreme Court ..with Communists, Socialists and Labor Union sympathizers, then it is time to look on the proposal with ‘a- larm.

In . 148 years of the Supreme Court, only 73 o f the 24,902 laws have been declared unconstitu­ tional. Of these 73, only 16 are said to apply to the everyday life of the •man on the street, in. the store or factory or on the farm. The other 57 were, only technical. Congress averages about 170 laws ’ each two years and then it develops that but orie law every Wo. years, is unconsti­ tutional. This seems to be a good record for the Court and places Con­ gress in a better light although we all. may not agree .with the object and purpose of some legislation.
