Someone has made the suggestion

tent may be, and doubtless is, well
meant. But the only union of COM
mon sense that Will ever be formed
in this country Is union OF loyalty.
with every man, woman and child a
union in self.
Loyalty is the big need today as 1t
was in times during the war and be-
fore the war. We do not mean 10y
atty to party, loyalty TO creed, al
though there can be no sane objec-
ton to either; but we mean-loyalty
to country, the public as a whole, for
Il is the whole public that makes VI
the republic.
All policies OF any government ARE
relatively unimporrant alongside the
biggest thing any government pos
sesses, and this is loyalty. Without

walls.

every child be taught to become a
union unto himself-let all becom'

States of North America, zone for al
