Freedom of Mankind
By ANDREA THOMPSON
Freedom from fear, the most important
of the four freedoms, is today the one
which is feast realized. Man is not free.
This a lack of freedom from fear has af
fected the minds of mankind to the ex
tent that man is mentally ill. A mind
that is afraid cannot function normally
or develop normally.
Of what is man afraid What is it that
prevents man from using his highly de
veloped intellect effectively The answer
to both of these questions in Man him
self.
Neurosis is a major cause of fear. Race
prejudices arise because of this neurotic
fear; unreasoning hates, like those of the
Ku Klux Klan, arise from fear; unreason
ing devotions, as demonstrated by the so-

College Fund the American Broadcasting
Company is presenting each Sunday at
called Hitler regime, arise through fear.
Man nowadays should have nothing to
fear but the darkness and confusion of
his mind which leads him to imagine
causes for fear where there are none.
Since health may be defined as a state
of complete physical, mental, and social
well-being, not merely the absence of dis
ease or infirmity, it must be recognized a
society which is neurotic in its social at
titudes is consequently one which is ill.
Because this illness is the result of a fail
ure of man to adjust adquately to ex
ternal forces of any kind, or to his own
nature, it is clear that man must consid
er his psychological make-up just as care
fully as he considers the climate in which
he lives or the other organisms with which
he must compete.
Man has learned to cope successfully
with the large animals in the world; none
of them furnish competition for survival.
He is doing very well in learning to deal
with the very small animals; most of the
