| Summary: | If the war did nothing more than make us appreciate what liberties are enjoyed by democracies, it would not have been in vain. We have been taught to believe that Germany was the only place in which real freedom of speech and thought was permitted. We now know at what point such freedom is stopped and the point where public opinion and public action are effective. Beyond such a point men must think and speak as they may chance to be permitted. Dr. Luckenbill's article, drawn to so large an extent from his own experience, ought to help its readers see that real freedom of thought lies between speculation unverifiable by facts, and state control. |
