Some people would like to im- pose them on you. ; t Under new slogans individuals are forming committees and working to limit—and destroy —your freedom.

' Now you can read both sides of controversies. You can study contradictory statements. Those 4 who would rob you of your liberties do not want you to do that. In their hands this newspaper would print only what they want printed. Their laws, their mistakes, their venality—none would be criticized.

And a free people can’t live without one. A free press is the bedrock under democracy. It doesn’t belong exclusively to newspapers or to the government. You are an owner. It in cludes your right to write letters and circularize them. And your right to read what you want to. To forget that is to invite trouble. You won’t always be able to spot your enemfcs. They are too clever for that. But you caii be alert. You can defeat their drive to take away your free dom by denying you knowledge of what is going on. By keeping informed, by voicing yodr ow n opinions and defending the other fellow 's right to have his say, you can b e free and assure the freedom of your family and children.
