There are several things those people want. They want firstto be treated with common decencyto be treated as equalsif not brothers. They want economic stability. * * 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.
