TOLERANCE IS NOT ONLY
RIGHT. IT IS GOOD
America may well be proud
that its very name is still anoth
er word for tolerance.
The instinct to tolerate in
others the freedom we expect for
Ourselves is deep in the Ameri
can conscious. We don't think
much about it, because we are all
brought up that way, and it is
natural.
But in time when whole gov
ernments and syst.ms are being
built on tolerance, t might be
well to think a little about why
tolerance is a good thing. For
leaders like Adolph Hitler are
denouncing it not only as weak
in itself, but as an unbearable
handicap on a state.
Americans like tolerance be
cause it is right. We believe that
no man is good enough or wise
enough to rule other rr.?n with
out their consent. And we be
lieve that no man's rights are
safe unless he is wil ing and able
to grant to other men the same
rights he expects for himself.
I
It is the very denial of these
rights over many years that lies
at the bottom of Europe’s dis
content. One racial minority,
long suppressed and kept under,
when it gets at last a chance to be
on top. becomes equally oppres
sive to its former oppressors.
There is no end of this. Europe
can never be tranquil until at
ast there re no oppressed racial
m.noritles to smoulder and plot
revenge when the.r hour comes.
But many Americans view rac
ial and religious tolerance in its
lowest terms. They grudgingly
admit the right, and with clench
od teeth vow that they will grant
it. no matter how repulsive it
may be to them to do so.
That is, of course, better than
no tolerance at all. But it is neg
ative.
Tolerance has its positive side,
m; re important than the nega
tive. It lies in the fact that all
races and all craeds have rich
contributions to make to Ameri
can civilization. They have made
them in the past, and given their
opportunity, will make them in

the future.
American life is rich and pro
ductive beyond anything that au I
! thoritarian (states can lever
j achieve, simply because the wayj
I is wide open to all people to con i
! tribute their share.
Tolerance is not a burden, a
source of weakness, grudgingly

1 to be right, but a source of!
j strength, and a guarantee of the
highest possible development of
the nation of the future.
TYPES OF OCCUPATION
There is a history page refer-1
red to as the ‘‘Army of Occupa
■ tion.” Germany was down and
, out then. We have often wonder
ed if history would not have
been differently written, if there
would not be less reason for the
incredible task of a present army,
! of occupation if in those erring
days a group of cooperative,;
friendly economists, financial ad-;
visers, backed by sympathetic!
understanding instead of a circle
of steel, had occupied Germany.
As time goes on it may be felt
in some quarters there is increas
ing reason for another "Army of
Occupation." But it isn't likely!
there will be. About the only lest
son that the allied forces seemed;
to teach German minds and |
hearts was the vengeful thought1
of complete military preparation.!
They did their job of teaching
entirely and thoroughly too well.
