LIBERTY
Sir, —I yield to no one in love of liberty, but when Bishop Lyons speaks of personal liberty one wonders what he means. Does he mean liberty to marry whom one likes, read what one likes, worship where or what one likes? In the South American Republics, in Spain, in Ottawa, and in all countries where Bighop Lyons’s beliefs are dominant, to express one’s personal beliefs is to lay oneself open to much unpleasantness, if not to personal violence. Voltaire said, “I disagree with all they say but I would give my life for their right to say it" That is my idea of personal liberty.—Yours, etc., TOLERANCE. March 19, 1948.
