Of course there's danger; but a certain amount of danger is essential to the quality of life. I don't believe in taking foolish chances' but nothing can be accomplished without taking any chance at all.

One must be progressive in heart and active in promoting the progressive principles of today, tomorrow and always.

Their greatest danger to this country lies in their large ownership and influence in our motion pictures, our press, our radio and our government.
