wider and more intelligent understanding
Of and deeper respect for American in

un-Ameriean ideas being scattered
throughout our land every month by
hundreds of thousands of immigrants
who do not know and will not learn our
language, and who have no knowledge of
or sympathy with our Institutions. The
time has come when every man and
woman in America should stand up for
America without any mental reservations
or be put out OF America"
Having travelled far from the precepts
and traditions of the founders the su-
premaey Of constitutional government is
in the balance. said the speaker. He de-
cried the spread of un-American doctrine
under the guise Of liberty" He Said
America does not shirk her duty toward
the rest of the world, but that our first
duty is to put our own house in order
and keep it in order"
He gave personal tribute to the vet
Grams of the Civil War and to the Spanish
and World War men. saying:

regardless of any local Dissertation of
this day. there will always be those in
every community In the land who will
see to it that your services and the serV-
ices of your comrades will be forever
remembered"
Mr.. Fesler closed with the words OF
Lincoln that the country should again
highly resolve that these dead shall not
4 have died in vain; that this Nation shall
I n Freedom.
, and that government of the people, by
the people and for the people shall not
perish from the earth"
