learn to think and act in terms of
humanity and not of self alone. You
must adopt the basic philosophy of
live and let live
IF Armistice Day has any signi-
ficance to Americans it should in
spire us to rededicate ourselves TO
the ideals of Americanism and to the
preservation of American equality
and democratic fraternity"
