Galbraith Planned
Big Observance
of Flag Day, Today

New York, June IA few days be-
fore his death in an automobile acct
dent at Indianapolis. Commander F.
w. Galbraith. Jr., of the American
Legion. dictated statement calling
the attention of the public to the fact
that tomorrow (Tuesday, June 40 will
be Flag day when the people through
out the United States will, as he
worded it, pledge again their love for
their flag and their firm purpose to
serve it,
More than 10000 posts of the
American Legion in this country and
abroad have made arrangements to in
duce the communities where they are
located to show proper Difference to
the Stars and Stripes on that day.
The Legion has been pushing cam
paign to place the American flag on
every public building throughout the
country tomorrow. Commander Gal
hraith's message to the American peo-
pie on the Flag day anniversary comes
with peculiar force because of the
prepared it. 1t reads:
Flags are like people. They ars
full of personality. endowed with
characteristics. traditions, ideals
and faults.
These qualities flags borrow from
the nations they represent, the PED
pies over whom they wave. If a ma
ton is great and benign, striving to
make the Golden Rule an interna-
al txyntI ;x,L:
then is the flag of that nation a glori-
Gus emblem and symbol of right and
truth. But if the nation is a mean. a
jealous and untrustworthy group. then
its flag is only bit of colored cloth.
Down through the ages men have
fashioned banners; have marched be-
meath them into battle and toiled be-
meath them in peace. They have died
for their flags. Flags have been the
first bright thing to which the child
has thrilled with recognition, the last
thing taken by the soldier to his
grave.
But is the flag worthy of such
reverence? Only. indeed, if those who
revere it have group conscience and
a group aspiration to be honorable
and just.
Our flag was born when the nation
was an infant. The breeze that first
rippled its starry folds brought whis-
perings of troubled events, violence
and bloodshed. But our flag lives on,
to see the nation live and grow and
prosper. Our flag has been carried
into many battles but never on the
side of conquest. 1t has known grave
dangers but never has been sullied by
national shame
This flag that ripples in the wind
today is worthy of our references be-
cause we of this nation have striven

HOW THEY REGARD DIT

Here is the way the Russian boil
shevists plan to pay their debts. ex-
planned in a statement to the Asso-
ciated Press by Leonid Krassin, So
Wet minister of commerce and trade:
"As to the internal debt it will
liquidate itself. We will print enough
banknotes so that money no longer
will be taken seriously. Then the
people themselves will destroy this
mass of valueless paper and the sit
uation win be cleared"
AS even a paper rouble is evidence
of an obligation this is excellent evil
dence of how bolshevism regards its
obligations.

to America and efforts made to inoc-
ulate our splendid citizenship.
IF our people study the facts
about this vital question, as they
should do concerning every impor-
tant matter, there will be no cpl
demic here; they will learn and act
accordingly. Homes will not be
robbed and desecrated here through
anarchy and brute force.
Capital, whether invested in
charitable, religious. educational in
stitutions. or commercial or indus
trial enterprises, will be protected
and. as corollary, the rights of the
people without discrimination will be
conserved.
IF it should be urged that accu-
mulated wealth exceeding certain
amounts and possessed by organized
capital should be subjected to gov
ernmental inquiry and restriction in
it's use, there might be no objection
to a fair and reasonable enactment
covering this question, provided or
ganized labor should also be sub
jected to the same statute.
The door of opportunity for le-
Ultimate advancement is open to
both capital and labor. Both should
be grateful for the privilege. Neither
should be permitted to abuse it,

form of labor union leaders is the
antithesis of the principle of equal
opportunity. He asserted that. in

the full advantage of the opportuni-
ties which this country offers only

FLAG DAY

One hundred and forty-four years
ago today the record of the Cont
mental Congress shows that the fol-
lowing resolution was passed: Ere.
solved that the flag of the United
States be thirteen stripes. alternate
red and white, that the Union be
thirteen stars, white in a blue field,
representing new constellation"
The official flag today bears forty
eight white stars in a blue field, ar
ranged in six rows of eight stars
each. 1t isn't, however SO much the
exact description of the emblem as
the spirit of which it is emblematic
thta should be the subject of con-
sderation on this anniversary.
The flag signifies protection for that
ever which it floats. Is it protecting
it's people in equality of rights be-
fore the law, in speedy justice in the
courts: is it protecting them in the
way of peace as it has done in time
of war? Is it the emblem of people
not ungrateful to it's defenders and
actively engaged in binding up the
wounds they received while fighting
in it's defense? Is it to be found
borne in the van of the ranks forming
in the cause of international dis
armament?
These are some of the questions
observance of Flag Day may suggest.
Their consideration may be found
beneficial when taken along with so
much of the glorious achievement as
ISOLATED with our flag, for it is we'll
to remember that if, as our Declara-
ton of Independence declares. gov
ernments derive their just powers
from the consent of the governed" it
is very essential the people shall DE
intelligent and public spirited enough
to give their consent. BY that to
which they give consent will the peo-
pie and their flag be known.

Flag Day Dune 14)

Note: Are your colors flying this
morning? Have you stopped to think
that it was IA years ago today that
Congress adopted a resolution that the
mating red and white. and that the
Union be 13 stars, white in a blue
field? This was our first national flag.
On April 4, 1918, an act was passed
providing. that the 10 red and white
stripes of the flag of 1877 be retained
and a new star added for each new
state admitted to the Union.
This morning with joy and happiness
We gaze upon the world.
And think that over century ago
Our flag was first unfurled.
Think of the years it has f1oated high,
OF the sons who have kept it true
The bullets that pierced its majestic
The red, the white, the blue
Carried to. the field of battle
By the boys of siXty-one,
Borne through strife and storm
Until a new victory was won.
We set it Haunting to the breeze
Under the sky so blue,
A symbol of honor and liberty,
the red, the white, the blue
And don't forget nineteen seventeen
when 1t was carried across the sea,
Tattered and torn by shot and shell
1t brought home another victory.
The flag of a free nation.
The flag for me and you,
The flag that has NEVER KNOWN
DEFEAT,
The red, the white, the blue.
Red for the fighting blood of America,
Whlte Tor the purity of the nation.
Blue for the trueness of her sons
VINO fought from every cline and
station.
There are flags Of every land.
There are flags of every hue
But there's none 80 great
AS our red, white and blue.
