The Code American
BY HENRY w. LEVY

EDITORS NOTE: Mr.. Levy here reviews slim
little volume which constitutes much-needed defini-
ton of that way of life known "the American Way"
which so sharply contrasts with what has to be
known as the totalitarian way.
The president of Boston University, DIR. Daniel l..
Marsh has collected seven documents "that all Americans
would accept as the undiSputed creed Bible of Ameri-
cans" and around them has written commentary which
he calls "The American Canon. The Abingdon Press; $
He has compiled what might be truly called Code Ameri
cam slender volume of 1926 pages that might very properly
grace American home. For in America, you might
almost say that "The American Canon is companion vol
ume to the Bible.
Dr. Marsh in his preface explains that he has been
gagged 20 years in research among great American
that could be used to define the American
Way. "The sMayflower Compact, Dr. Marsh calls the
Genesis of American democracy the Declaration of indie
pendence is our Exodus the Constitution of the United
States Book of Law with the Bill of Rights it's Ten
Commandments. Washingtons Farewell Address
Psalm Lncons second inaugural address Gospel and
Woodrow Wlsonsast piece of writing, Road Away From
Revolution, as our greatest Epistle
Comparing tOtalitarianism and it's firing squads and
serient pulpit and rammeled education with democracy
and its freedom and justice tolerance and good WILL and
freedom of speech and religion, Dr. Marsh says:
Democracy may not be efficient at given moment
dictatorship but the only way to develop the people is to
shoulder them with the responsibility of directing their

their own progress The alleged efficiency of dictator
ship is bought at frightful costa cost that
people will voluntarily pay Democracy rests upon the
theory that governments derive their just powers from the
consent of the governed It holds that government is made
TOR not for government It protects liberty of
opinion freedom of speech and of the press it's very
breath OF life guarantees the free exercise of religion
OWng that religion inheres in the nature of and is
va and intelligent only when is called forth by the
periences of life"
This says DR.. Marsh, is the American Way defined

g needed compilation for his wisdom in collecting these
at documents under cover and for the sincere ideal
ana fine historical perspective that beautifully sets
