so many delicate problems as she has in the last
few months; not for many years has it been so
essentially necessary for all her citizens to exem-
plify high type of patriotism The hour is here
when the true patriot must come to the front.
There always will be large number OF pa
triots who congregate on the street corners and
loudly voice their sentiments. From these places
emanate much of the froth and cheap sentiment
that fires many into demanding from our chief
executive hasty actions on matters Of great mo-
ment These are the men who unwittingly TO-
ment public opinion that some times influences
our leaders to follow paths that lead to destruc-
ton.
The president is pleading for a new type of
patriot who does more thinking and less talking,
the man who ponders long and hard and then de-
liberately and with insight gives expression to
his opinion. This type of patriot has the flag
enshrined in his heart. He wears it physically
on Flag day and other national holidays, but he
always carries it in his heart, the year around.
