WHAT IS THE AMERICAN WAY?
E verybod y is inclined to consider that his own opinions and
prejudice« about customs and institutions, principles and prac
tices. represent the “ Am erican W a y .’ ’ The term is used to ju s ti
f y the most contradictory ideas. N evertheless there are some
principles and practices that arc d istin ctively Am erican and
that arc believed in by most A m erican s; especially a fundam ent
al conception of freedom which is a part o f our heritage.
W e have built up our civilization here, and draw n our so
cial pattern, on a basis o f iudividuai freedom. It includes free
dom o f worship, o f speech and press and assembly. o f residence
and m ovement; liberty to pursue an occupation o f o n e ’s own
choice, to acquire and own property, and to enter into volun tary
association with others in enterprise; and the right to p artici
pate in government through representatives whose arb itrary
power is restricted by basic and statu to ry law and who are
periodically accountable to the people. These rights do not con
stitute the whole range of Am erican freedom, but are am ong the
most fundam ental.
It is true that these are not regarded as absolute rights. W e
impose lim its by custom and by public authority. B ut w e try to
adhere to the pattern and we recur to it w henever it is tem por
arily disregarded. The conviction persists that, this individual
freedom must be maintained— lim ited only in order to preserve
the maximum o f it fo r all. F or in the freest possible exercise of
individual initiative and energy we see the m ainspring o f our
