the protection OF the flag was symbolic
regarding the conservative group I'm the

The conservatives accept the flag as
they accept other institutions. and are
prepared 10 work through them. by

being as sociallstic as the law ana the
Constitution permit, are typical Of their
plans and purposes.
The radical group. which was defeated
