We quote a few timely words from the president of the American Lib rary Association, E. W. McDiarmid, “There is no more noble tradition in our society today than the tradition of free sources of information avail able to all the people. There is no tradition closer to the fundamentals of our American society. We believe that the people must rule, but to rule wisely and well they must substi tute enlightment and understanding for ignorance and intolerance. Amer ican society cannot function with out some agency such as the free library. So long as there are free libraries, freedom of speech and freedom of the press, neither fascism nor communism can succeed in America.”
