SOONER OR LATER—T Law~Abiding Freedom Freedom of itself is a beautiful word — but freedom withiout law to back it, is anarchy. Just as men must have freedom to think and speak in order to progress and indeed survive, so must they have self-made laws regulating tnat freedom. . History has proven this again and again. The Roman Empire wa§ great as long as it was composed of disciplined free men. To b&.&.RrniQn.Qtimn.'thm-fi.eant .to-b. a free *_an all over the known world. The Romans conquered not merely by force of arms, but by force of concerted, intelligent action. But when liberty degenerated into Lcen_e, thay fell a prey t. the barbaric Germanic invaders. As the historian, James Truslow Adams, wrote: "Withait a vision ;men shall die. It is no less true that without hard practical sense, they shall also die." This has been the secret back of our country's greatness. America started from a vision of freedom for all mankind, but it was backed up by laws that insured the keeping of that freedom. Freedom alone i_ not enough. Nor will arbitrary laws su fice. Eut freedom, backed by laws, conceived and legislated by those to whom they must apply, is invincible. We cannot safeguard the freedom that is democrat by undemocratic means. Democracy, the rule of the majority, implies an acquiescence to self-government, a willing obedience to the laws of the majority, plus a realization h" the majority that minorities not only have rights, too, l i are entitled to equal consideration and can no„ be t_am_nei or imposed upon. Rights which we demand for curse1\ we must grant to others. That is why free speech and. fr< <- dom of religion are basic to our American democracy, A democratic free government is one of laws, not t dictates. Yet the* laws themselves are ho stronger "nor we* 1 er than the persons who enforce them. Coriuption, excessa demands for special privilege, economic discrimination, _ i but evidence of weak links in the chain of citzens. Only freedom which is under strong law, only stro law to which men consent because it preserves freedom, c endure. It is up to each ,of us who desire freedom, who 1 lieve in democracy, who want to preserve our Ame_ic way of life, to obey our own laws — whe^h'.r or not * like them*— and to accord the same privileges to othe That is the democratic way. That is the way to su.cessi I freedom. Not By Force Alone The main focal point of tha American public's interest in Vietnam is, as one would expect, the mil.tary conflict in which our troops are engaged. It could not be otherwise. Not only is the war a source of deep anxiety, but our military action is widely regarded as the only feasible way to force the Hanoi government to the conference table so that peace talks without prior conditions can begin. Though this aspect of our involvement in Vietnam naturally dominates the thinking of Americans, we should not allow it to obspure other vital considerations. It is st.U true, as it has been all along, that the thwarting of com munism in Vietnam depends almost as much — and perhaps, in the long run, more — on political and social and economic developments as on victory at arms. If we smash communist aggression militarily at cost. of devaating.the land, alienating the people, and impoverishing the nat.on of South Vietnam, the victory will turn to ashes in our mouth. The administration has not neglected this aspect of the situation. The very serious problem presented by the almost 700,000 South Vietnamese already made homeless by the war is, for example, receiving close attention. This was made evident in the report presented by experts sent to South Vietnam at'; President Johnson's request. The report stressed that the refugee program should ibe expanded. The problem is not an easy one. One reason for this, as the report states, is that the refugees "ai*e a disillusioned, skeptical people, who.accept aid from both government and voluntary sources, but who will have to be convinced over a period of time before they genuinely resettle in reasonably normal pursuits of their own." The challenge is psychological, as well.w>.material. How we respond to it will have no small bearing, on the eventual outcome in South Vietnam. ... . . ■ ■ , Valacfyi's Memoirs " *■ : il Who does not remember the gravelly voice of Joseph M. Valachi?
