Mc Williams Hits Loss of Freedom

A nameless, irrational fear which is being artificially induced by irresponsible newspapers and Washington politicians is causing a gradual disappearance of civil liberties in this country, according to writer Carey Mc Williams, speaker at a Channing Foundation lecture Saturday night.

Unless the puppeteering of public attitudes is checked, he asserted, and this fear removed, there is every chance that the United States will be sacrificed to the Fascists. "It is in the use of civil rights, not in the worried safeguarding of them that real security lies."
