The Rule Of Law In

I Would Say That Social Work Began In My Mind In The Unitarian Church When I Was Ten Or Twelve Years Old, And I Started To Do Things That I Thought Would Help Other People.

I Cannot Consistently, With Self Respect, Do Other Than I Have, Namely, To Deliberately Violate An Act Which Seems To Me To Be A Denial Of Everything Which Ideally And In Practice I Hold Sacred.

The Nazi-soviet Pact Of 1939, A Traumatic Shock To Me, Ended Any Ambivalence I Had About The Soviet Union, And All Cooperation With Communists In United Fronts.

I Regard The Principle Of Conscription Of Life As A Flat Contradiction Of All Our Cherished Ideals Of Individual Freedom, Democratic Liberty And Christian Teaching.

The Rule Of Law In Place Of Force, Always Basic To My Thinking, Now Takes On A New Relevance In A World Where, If War Is To Go, Only Law Can Replace It.
