add to cart   close window

The article focuses on U.S. Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson. He has in the course of his long public and private career, amply demonstrated his devotion to democratic ideals. He has recently advised on a national-service act. He says that the nation has no less right to require a man to make weapons than it has to require another man to fight with those weapons. He was giving labor and its leaders a warning they must heed if they are prepared to put long-range considerations involving the future of free government in the U.S. ahead of petty irritation or advantage.
