Freedom o£ CHOICE
^V^ITH ALL 1 HE 1 ALK about Freedoms, what abou
" freedom of choicc?
After all, freedom of choice can mean the same thing a
all the other freedoms people arc talking about and a fcv.
others besides. In large measure, freedom of choicc is what
this war is about.
Freedom of choice means such ordinary things as tryin
soy beans in the south field next year, if you think it's th
thing to do. It means buying the kind of flour you thin!
Rives you the bc3t biscuits. It means you and your bo
doing the deciding whether he'll go to college, or learn t >
be a toolmaker.
Freedom of choice is the soil in which character grows.
This freedom of choice - and its counterpart, a sense o
responsibility for the decisions made has done much l
develop the character that is going to win this war -on th
battle fronts, on the farm, in industry. And when the vie
tory is won, the kind of America we have fought and work->t
to preserve must be a country in which every man und woman.
<tnd every boy and girl, will have freedori of choice in even
greater measure. General Electric Co., Schenectady, N. Y
