Lest Ye Break Faith With Them
In honoring the dead on Memorial Day. the
future of the world was uppermost in the thoughts
OF men, who see threatening cloud enveloping those
liberties inherited through the foresight of the found
ers of our country These threats do not come from
foreign shores alone, but from within WE'LL Subj
versive and alien activities give rise to these thoughts
Enormous debts being incurred to provide
defense for the nations of the world Through
suspicion and fear that others might violate the
of peace they must be prepared for emergency
By their arrogance and their threats to the peace
of the world, Hitler and Mussolini have incurred the
enmity of peace-ovng nations, who find themselves
forced into maintaining large armies and navies.
This ennity is heightened by the prosecutions and
general ruthessness which mark the dictators pol
ices toward certain racial and religious groups of
their own citizens

dure and certainly cannot afford, in the long rum
to be hated by lovers of liberty and justice through
out the world. The policies which provoke such
hatred utterly foolish, and may eventually lead
to disaster for all nations.
Men of the past have fought to maintain liberty
in this land, and we have honored them again
Memorial Day Their accomplishments should be
stressed more than each year and Americans
should take heed lest they break faith with those who
have gone before. Liberty is the strength of our
nation and it cannot be maintained through Incidence.
