clared. ex-senator James Hamilton
Lewis, OF Illinois, is flag day address
here today.
The president OF the United States
while representing our people abSoad
as a nation is not serving as a party
politician. He serves as spokesman in
Europe for all Americans. What our
nation needs then. is more national pa
triotism and less political partyism.
This nation will come from the
peace table without friend. Those
nations that are not OF the so-calied
allies will go away preaching revenge
against the United States as the author
Of all their losses. Each nation will
hold the United States responsible for
what II does not get, however much 1t
