in consideration of the wealth and
power of the English-speaking peo'
pies. IT seems that there is a great
responsibility for the veal of the
world, which rests upon the Anglo
Saxon race.
SO far as Great Britain and her
colonies and the United States of
America are concerned, all their in
terests. sympathies. policies and
purposes are mostly in common, and
should rebound to the worlds good.
Anglo-Saxons. everywhere exhibiting
the same spirit of intelligent enter
prise. and of steady and resistless
growth and advance. should be the
leaders of thought and the eXem-
plars of civilization, enlightenment
and progress.
If the two nations, England and
the United States, which are nearly
one, will be true to their duty as
progressive people, and active and
sincere in the cause of humanity, We

may look for those great strides III

and economic equality which will
socialize the English-speaking world,
and aid in the establishment of that
liberty, fraternity and equality nf
man which will eventuate in the ac
ceptance of human brotherhood. re-
gardless of race, creed, or nationali-
ty. Thus may the Peace of the
world be secured.
In the development of constitu-
tional government, and of demo-

Legislative representation, religious
freedom. the principle that all polit

fined political rights; and, next. to
guarantee the security of those
rights by the establishment of forces
capable of maintaining them"
Political rights include Free
Press, Free Speech. Free Conscience,
and Free Assemblage.
1t is fact that the political
rights of free press, free speech and
free assemblage with regard to
workers. have been invaded and
trampled upon by capitalist govern
ments in all parts of the Anglo-Sax-
on world.
II is also fact that Anglo-SaXOns
not only refuse equal suffrage, thus
in government but. also, restrict
manhood suffrage
The Anglo-SaXon race, in order to
maintain its claim to superiority ov-
er other races, must, in the near flu
ture. grant equal suffrage, guaran-
tee political and economic equality.

the Liberty. Fraternity and Equality

Without Economic Freedom Po-
litical Democracy is failure,
Democracy and the industrial
czarism of John ID. Rockefeller, Jr..

Whenever the Anglo-Saxon race
