independence Day
1886
By RAYMOND PITCAIRN
National Chairman
. SentineLs OF the Republic :

Independence no,o-and Indepen.
dence forerer."
To this ringing slogan America cele-
brates again the anniversary of her
glorious birth - honoring the famous
stitution, among the noblest documents
in history.
/ What was that independence, that
Freedom, to which our Fathers dedi-
Gated then selves in the historic docu-
ment now famous throughout the
world? Clearly the Declaration itself
states the answer:
They sought for every man certain
unalienable rights 80. among them Life,
Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness"
They protested against "long train
of abuses and usurpations" of those
rights.
They condemned all activities "alter-
ing fundamentally the forms of our
| government"
They denounced:
The efforts of ruler to punish repre-
sentative legislatures "for opposing
with manly firmness his invasions on
the rights of the people"
The establishment of an absolute
tyranny over these States"
A government that erected multi
tude Of new Offices and sent hither
swarns of officers to harass our people
and eat out their substance"
A system that made the people Sub
ject to a jurisdiction foreign to our Con-
stitution, and unacknowledged by our
laws"
These are few of the basic principles
for which the Signers unhesitatingly
pledged their Lives, their Fortunes and
their Sacred Honor on that historic July
fourth of 100 years ago.
They are principles to which America
pledges herself anew on each occurrence
Of that historic date.
They are principles which we must
continue to guard if the Liberty won
by our Fathers is to endure
independence Day is far more than
a national celebration. 1t remains Day
Of Rehabilitation to that Spirit of Liberty
which has made America the land Of
freedom and of opportunity for all.

A shrewd White House authority
explained the whole background Of
the corporation tax reform program
better than any one else. He boiled
down all phases of the subject-(the
dire predicament of Mr.. Roosevelt
being forced by the bonus and court
decisions into championing taxes in
campaign year. the political advan-
tage of attacking the big corpora
tions). These ideas and others he
condensed into a simple sentence
(not for quotation):
"Mr. Roosevelt has been able to
make an asset out OF a political
liability"
The extent of enthusiasm in Con-
gress for anything remotely connected
with taxes is illustrated by what hap
pened the other day in Senate COM
mittee.
The committee was called for a
hearing about a new tax idea which
might produce $200,000,000 of addi-
tional revenue by an administrative
change in the liquor tax law. At
least, certain private promotional
agency was ready to testify that it
would. Agency officers were on hand
ready to explain. The distilling rep
resentatives were on hand to oppose.
One Senator on Hand.
One Senator appeared. He sat
around for Is minutes, half an hour,
As minutes awaiting the appearance
of the rest of the committee. At that
point he arose. put on his hat and
walked out, saying:
II am busy man. but my 20 COL
leagues on this committee are appar-
emily busier-elsewhere. The hearing
is off, .,.-
A few careful news readers were ex-
cited by the recent story that the
United States had signed away some
of its protective authority over the
Panama Canal in new treaty with
Panama. 1t was given out for publica-
tion that way by official sources. The
treaty itself was not made public.
The inside story on it is that
President Roosevelt ,Danted to take
this step solely for the effect it
1Dould hare on his coming pan
american conference. Panama is
the last of the Latin American
republics oper ,Uhich the United
States reserped the right to in
terpene. That fact has been the
basis OF Latin American attacks
against United States in,eprtalism,
causing a lot of i'll feeling to,oard
US dolUn there.
1t is true the treaty ostensibly re-
nounces our right to maintain law and
order in Panama. But when it is made
public you will see it is literary mas
terpiece. In theory. we promise not to
infringe upon Panama's sovereignty
in any way. In practice, We will con-
tinue to take whatever steps we deem
necessary for the protection of the
canal.
