And it is so attacked in a great many quarters. I am at something of a loss to account for the growth and apparent acceptance of the idea that it is wrong to do good. but I suppose it is so considered by the people who consider Christs command-"That we cast our bread upon the waters"-to be impractical. because they forget the next phrase-"That it will come back to us a thousandfold." And so it is with the things that I have urged. If we cannot find it in our hearts to urge independence for an Asiatic group simply because we believe that men have a right to be free. then let us back it because we know that freemen will fight harder than men who have a grievance. If we cannot fight economic injustice and disease because we hate them as we hate communism. then let us fight them because healthy men and secure men make better friends of democracy than do desperate men. If we cannot be generous. then let us be prudent.
