Abstract	This paper reports the findings of two surveys, compares them to previous research, and discusses the combined implications. Both surveys, (the first, conducted in Denmark in 1969; and the second, in Chicago and Evanston, Illinois, in 1971) reinforced previous findings of significant correlations between attitudes toward freedom of speech and the variables of age, sex, education, and urbanization. The author further discusses liberality of attitude as correlated with intravariable differences such as was found among younger and older adults, and suburban and central city residents, etc. From the collective research data a hypothesis is derived, namely, that levels of tolerance increase or diminish as the modes of expression in question appear to serve or threaten vested interests.
