" This / Believe"
Personal Responsibility Comes First on
Famous General's List of Human Vices
A Georgia born soldier who directed Berlin airlift. General
Lucius Clay reveals here his personal creed. This is one of a series
of statements prepared for broadcast b\ thinking, usoiul people in
all walks of life. The program is presented by Edward K. Murrow
over KIB1I at 3:55 and 10:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.
By GENERAL LUCIUS CLAY
Ex-U. S. Military Governor in
Germany
In the middle of the war
against Hitler, if somebody had
told me that 1 would one day be
standing in the heart of Berlin
before several hundred thousand
of its citizens demonstrating
their desire to be free, 1 would
have said the person was crazy.
Yet that very thing happened to
m. recently when I returned to
the former German capital with
the Freedom Bell, the symbol
of the American campaign to
pierce the Iron Curtain with the
propaganda of truth. In open
and dangerous defiance of the
Russians and their East Ger
man puppets, thousands of West
and East Berliners gathered in
the middle of the city in a mov
ing demonstration against tyr
anny. If they had believed in
tyranny a few years before, they
believed in it no longer. They
had seen what democracy could
mean and they wanted it.
I cite this incident to support
my conviction that given the
proper circumstances, and some
hope, man as an individual,
wherever he may live, will dem
onstrate that he is inherently
honest and decent. He wants lit
tle more than to live in friend
ship with his neighbor, in rea
sonable security, and to raise his
children so they may find oppor
tunity before them.
I think the troubled world in
which we live should not dismay
us. I believe the world today is
historically a better world than
the world of the past. Though
ruthl ss nun still maintain po»:
er through ree and would ex
tend power t hrougn conciuesi.

people everywhere are becoming
more tolerant and understand
ing than ever before. More peo
pies and mare governments are
willing to cooperate, to work to
gether for peace and freedom
than at any time in history. At
home, we are more tolerant and
understanding with each other:
more w illing to help our less
fortunate neighbor here a n d
abroad.
This, to me, is hopeful prog
ress. It stems, 1 think, from the
spread of freedom in which 1
believe and which I hold God
gave us as a privilege. Like all
precious possessions, freedom
must be guarded carefully. I ask
myself how I can best help guard
it and the answer I find is citi
zenship. In my vkw, to be a
good citizen does not require the
holding of public office, t In*
achievement of either political
or financial success. But it does
require that I vote from com ic
tion. that I participate in com
munity activities, to the cxent
hat I am able, that I be honest
with myself and with others.
God has been good to us as a
people. As I see it, we can re
turn thanks for the position of
leadership which we now hold in
world affairs, only as we exer
cise this leadership to obtain
fiocdom and peace. We can lead
abroad only as we continue to
improve our life at home, to
truly become a land in which
there is equal opportunity for
personal responsibility of the in

Eroadcasi explains Ihe reasons
for inis series.
We hardly need to be r mind
ed tliat we are living in an age
of confusion.
A ’ it of us have traded in our
beliefs for bitterness and cyni
cism. or for a heavy package of
despair, or even a quivering por
tion of hysteria.
Opinions can be picked up
cheap in the market-place while
such commodities as courage,
and fortitude, and faith, are in
alarmingly short supply.
