II is as important TO know the neg
alive attitude Of man or a commu-
nifty az the positive II is always as
well TO know what one stands against
as 70 know what one stands for For
In a negative sense ones point OF view
and attitude count for much. as well as
In a positive way. What a person does
not believe Is often AS important as
what he does believe
This is especially the case with our
nation Ia its relationship 10 other gov
ernments, and with the citizens atti-
tude toward the nation. Certain prln-
ciples IN vogue IN other governments
our nation stands for, certain others T.
stands against And IN both these po-
sitions the stand il takes Is stable ana
unhinchlng. We who are enjoying tie
privileges ana benefits Of citizenship IN
this nation and have had an opportl-
nifty OF studying It's history anl us ne
titude IN times past on mattcfs ~ pub
lie policy, are convinced that In the
main IL stands for what Is good and
against what is evil or mistaken In The
politics OF the world. For there are ma
tional policies harmful and erroneous,
as well as policies beneficial and found
ed on correct principles
II was against one Of the most objec-
tionable OF these erroneous policies up-
preston In the name Of government.
that the 70 colonies rebelesi 100 years
ago In thus taking their stand he
colonies put themselves on record IN
favor Of full representation in the gov
eminent by those governed, and the
nation has made that record perma-
nent. So II stands today, and so we
trust Il will always stand, not only
with reference 10 its own people, but,
as far as possible and prudent with
reference 10 the oppressed Of all Ia
lions.
AGAINST TYRANNY,
Against not only the one false princi-
pie OF government before named, but !
against all kinds OF tyranny and OPP |
preston. and against anarchy. the ma |
tural fruit OF oppression. this govern
ment stands Ike adamant; Tor Itself /
first. and so FAR as may be, for he |
world at large. Against all abuses OF |
power and wealth. against the forces !
that make for injustice and inequality, /
against class distinction and sectional
ism and factionalism. the nation has
stood and must forever stand, II ~
would maintain its own integrity
among the peoples OF the earth. n n
It's positive and It's negative aspects IL
shall fail to be IN advance or and SUI
perior 10. all other powers and peoples,
in that degree Il has missed It's destiny
and proved false TO the rust reposei
in It by Hin who holds all peoples IN
the hollow OF His hand.
AS the nation stands against these
evils and abuses. q is well that for the
information and welfare Of It's future
citizens II should be stated what II
stands for Being founded on the
broadest possible rights OF the indiyld-
ual citizen. the nation ~ emitted 10
ask Of each one enjoying the privileges
OF citizenship. that he shall understand
his rights and duties, and always be
ready and willing 10 defend and exer-
else them. The nation stands for an
those Individual rights without reserve.
II is natural sequence Of the posses
sion Of them. that he who knows and
exercises them best, gives greatest
strength % the nation. II Is not by |
means Of weak compliance with the
terms Of government or mere assent |
