True Liberalism Adapts Itself To
Situations Demanding Changes
By BRUCE BIOSSAT
What does it mean to be a liberal?
In the 19th century, liberalism meant a high degree of freedom
from government restriction! in both the economic and political
realms. It set the stage for the commercial and industrial growth
that made over much of the world.
In the 20th century, by an odd
twist, liberalism seems to symbo
lize the very opposite tendencies:
bigger government, more restric
tions, less room for free choice.
How can the term "liberalism"
have any worth if it can be
stretched to ' cover, these ex
tremes? ,
Let's wade into the confusion
surrounding this sadly overwork
ed term and see if we can't de
termine whether it still has any
value. . .. '
To have any continuing mean
ing,' liberalism clearly must be
defined in a manner that will
make it adaptable to changing
times and conditions.
To define it thus means to free
it from any permanent associa
tion with a fixed pattern of ideas,
whether social, economic or pollti-

cal. In other words. It cant be
identified with a pat political
doctrine, for political philosophies
Become outmoded and die.
Obviously, If liberalism means
just the 19th century variety, it
is practically dead today. If it
means big government, it might
wither away in some future time
when trends perhaps veer in
another direction.
Couldn't it be possible that
liberalism is really an attitude,
a way of thinking" that shifts to
meet the varying circumstances
of an always changing society?
But what sort of an attitude?
The record of history suggests
an answer. The men who have
earned the liberal label seem to
have had in common a bold will
ingness to experiment, to try the
new. to shatter old frameworks
in quest of solutions to pressing
human problems.
By contrast, conservatives ap
pear most often to search for
answers within the existing struc
ture of society. They may be no
less concerned with solving
human problems; they' simply
are pre-disposed to solve them
without breaking new ground.
If a liberal is properly defined
as a ground breaker, then in one
era he may favor fewer govern
ment restrictions and in another
he might seek more. His eye is
on the problems facing society.
Ke feels no allegiance to any
cause but their solution.
Liberalism thus characterized
is not a monopoly of any political
party. It may exist side by side
with conservatism and does
in both major U. S. parties. By
the same token, any individual
may exhibit both liberal and con
servative tendencies.
But the liberal attitude must
show itself in action If it Is to
count. It is hardly enough to
announce "I am a liberal," in the
hope that you thereby establish
yourself on a high plane of
righteousness. You earn the label
solely by seeking liberal solutions
to problems.
Furthermore, It Is . Just as
honorable and important to be a
conservative. Society is not al
ways breaking new ground in all
directions; much of the time it Is
busy nurturing and improving
ground already Broken.
