RIGHTS OR RESPONSIBILITIES? S u r e l y t h o u g h t f u l individuals everywhere are becoming more and more alarmed at the breakdown o f patriotic, civic and, above all, religious standards in this day o f unbridled liberty and license. We see this condition escalating with frightening fre quency in every facet o f American life. The horrifying increase in immorality, the utterly demoralizing increase in the publica tion o f obscene and suggestive literature, the apparently limitless extent to which the moving-picture industry has degenerated, (at least if billboard signs, newspaper ads and the marquees o f moving-picture houses can be used as criteria), the lewdness and licentiousness which are to be observed almost wherever one turns, the damnable effects o f drinking which occupy so much o f the space in our daily papers — drinking which takes place not only in the bars and saloons but in otherwise respectable social gather ings and even in the homes o f so many o f our citizens.

Basically, it is a question o f individual and group rights versus individual and group responsibilities. The one is selfish; the other is unselfish.
