have gone out of our establishment dur
lug the past twelve months

opinions and actions of American men
and women.
THE Sun is, and will continue to be, a
newspaper which tells the truth without
fear of consequences, which gets at the
facts no matter how much the process
costs, which presents the news Of all the
world without waste of words and in the
most readable shape, which is working
