RADIO PROGRAM NO. 222 - What Makes Men Free?

Announcer: Everyone wants to be free. And yet in many ways the challenge to human freedom has never been greater. Many men and women still seek freedom from political tyranny, social prejudice, poverty. Others feel in bondage to conformity, regimentation, or personal weaknesses. They want to know what makes men free.

Questioner: I imagine many of us still have a lot to learn about the meaning of freedom. Even nations that win political independence are constantly striving to protect the freedom that they've won. A civil rights worker probably feels that the right kind of laws would make men free. Would you agree with that solution?

Speaker: I'd agree that the right kind of laws will help protect men's freedom, but they are not the source of men's freedom. I think we all agree that there is something inherent in men to want to be tree. The trouble, you see, is that mankind are looking for the source of freedom in the wrong places.
