Show W4 -Bf Progressives Must Become Militant "Radicals Are in the Dog House" Dr. James Bryant Conant, president of Harvard University, is out with a challenge to the country, saying that it must have more American Radicals, men and women whose ideal is Thomas Jefferson and whose political prophets are like unto Emerson and Thoreau. He goes on to show how big and corrupt money and business are organizing to keep this a country of backward-looking reactionaries, to keep the unscrupulous un-scrupulous few at the top rich and powerful and the many poor and in subjection. By Radicals he means those who believe sincerely and honestly in a better world where peace may be maintained, where every man will be entitled to a chance for a decent living, where there will be universal education on every level, where there will be no centralization of money and power, where there will be a higher value on human rights than on property rights, where special and inherited in-herited privilege will be done away with, where cooperation will be the ruling system. "Radicals," he says, "are in the dog house today." Let's call them out. - |
