IATELY it has become the habit of men and nations to complain bitterly—and well they may, in most cases. In China wild mobs fight for a few grains of rice; “blood-and-iron” dictatorships grip Russia, Poland, Hungary, Yugoslavia, Romania, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, and Albania; millions of the world’s men and women and children exist and work in misery and terror and uncertainty. These people would laugh at any complaints of ours, if they could laugh. No one will deny, of course, that even here in America wo have deep troubles, injustices, shameful practices and tragedy. But we are so much better off than all other people, so much better fed, so much better housed, so much better clothed, so much better informed, each one of us so much richer, so free—all of us—that shouldn't we at this traditional time of Thanksgiving be humbly grateful not only for what we have—but for what we have not? Let us give thanks for the freedom of speech we have—freedom to say what’s on our minds, anywhere, any time, to anybody. And let us be thankful at the same time for what we have not—secret police, jail and the firing squad for criticizing our government’s officials or practices.’ • Let us give thanks for the freedom we have—to worship in any church. And be humbly grateful for what we have not—persecution, the inquisition, the slave camp, for following the faiths of our fathers. Let us give thanks for the freedom we have—and so recently proved we have—to change or keep our president, our governors, our representatives, through free elections and secret

Bui woras alone are empty thanks. Wherever we are, whoever we are, In our homes, in the office, the factory, the shop, on the farm, at work, at play, at worship, let us give thanks-by the work we do, by the hand we lend, by the sacrifice we make and the rights we defend-for what we Americans have-and have not.

ballots. In the same breath, let’s give thanks for what we have not—a lifelong dictatorship held in power by an army’s bullets Let us give thanks for the freedom we have—to choose when and where, on, what and for whom, and for how much we choose to work. And then let’s be thankful for what we have not— a government that orders and forces any one of us to work in a government-run union as a machinist, or as a baker, or as a carpenter, when, and in what city and at what pay the all-powerful State decides. Let us give thanks for the freedom we have—to choose from not one but a dozen different kinds of shoes, and soap, and clothes, and food, at a dozen different prices. And let us be thankful for what we have not— a government-owned store with standardized one-make, one-model, one-color, one-price goods sold on a take-it-or-leave-it, put-up or-shut-up basis. ‘Let us give thanks for the freedom we have—to save money, to own property, and so to be independent, to be free from the Unjust power of individuals or of governments. Then, let’s be thankful for what we have not — a government that takes away the independence of its citizens—and so enslaves them—through the State ownership of property and the means of production. Let us be thankful for what we have—peace and food and a roof. And for what we have not— war and famine and ruins. Let us give thanks that, despite all the hazards of our lives, we stand on the outside of the police state —on this side of the iron curtain—here, in our country, not there in that country. /
