not have our government perish; we
will not have it destroyed. We will
be on guard and watch all attempts
of all kinds to change or alter our
system of government, and if we have
any doubt on the subject, no change
will be made. Our present form Of
government has proven good for our
fathers, and it has proven good for
US. And we shall preserve it, pro-
tect it and transmit it to our chill
dren in the same live and glorious
state as when we received it. We
shall teach our children to cherish
this lovely land, this glorious liberty
and these benign institutions. We
will be and will teach our children
to be on guard against the insidious
wiles of all isms and other doctrines
which teach contrary to our own
Americanism. And we will lift our
eyes to our fathers confident in the
belief that they can read there the
spirit and determination which fills
US as never before: "Faith of our
Fathers, Living still; we will be true
to thee till DEATH"

$4,000 RECEIVED
FROM 80 STATES
TO HELP FINLAND

Donations for military aid to Fin
land totalling approximately $4,000
have been received from individuals
in 80 states, in sums ranging from 81
to $4,000, it was announced at head
quarters of Fighting Funds for Fin
land Inc, at 120 Broadway, some time
ago.
Gen. John F. Organ, National
Chairman of the organization, which
was established last Thursday to mob
ilize American sentiment and funds
for realistic assistance to Finland"
announced that state organization
work was in progress in every one of
the 4S States, Hawaii and Alaska and
that every mail added to the 1000
letters and kilograms already receiv-
ed from Americans throughout the
nation. In his reply, made public,
General Organ said he believed Con-
gress should recognize these letters
and contributions as an expression
of the American people toward this
movement.
"If l may assume to speak for
those supporting this cause, it seems
clear to us that human liberty, the
dignity of the individual man and the
family, and their security against
lawless aggression constitute the bas-
is of civilization" he said. "When
they are attacked, civilization is at
tackled and when this happens, the
consequence become automatically the
vital concern of all civilized peoples.
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise. (Pocomoke City, Md.) 1921-1953, 1940-02-23

In other words, the preservation of
civilization is not regional respon-
sibility."
"The Finnish people and groups of
individuals from neutral countries
who have joined them, and who, to-
gether with the Allies, in effect, have
constituted themselves an emergency
police force, international in charac-
ter, for the suppression of insurrec-
ton against the common percepts of
Christianity and the restoration of
international law and order"
General Organ stressed the need
to provide Finland with additional
aircraft, weapons and military stores
"Armed aggression on the loose
can be convincingly dealt with only
by adequate and effective gun fire,
meaning all that thisoterm implies"
he continued.
"The initial response of the public
to the mere name of this organization
should indicate to Congress that pub
lie opinion is developing rapidly in
its support of the movement for real
istic assistance to Finland. There is
urgent need for prompt assistance,
for the coming summer will material

happier and more prosperous and
more glorious country than when the
dark period began. If we had been
enjoying great prosperity we had
further to fall than when our pros
perity was normal; so that it took
longer to regain ourselvs. But, did
regain and we did come back, always
greater and better than before, be-
cause we had chung to the principles
laid down in that old Rugged Cross,
the Constitution; the book that teach
es that men are men, and should act
and be treated as such.
These are troublous times today,
at home and abroad. At home we
are still deep in the rut we entered
more than ten years ago. 1t may
seem to some we are not keeping as
close to the Old Cross as we should;
it may seem that some water has been
mixed with the blood we inherited
from our fathers; or, that we have
lost some of the independence, pride,
self-determination and love of free
dom they had. It may appear we are
content to give up certain of our con-
stitutional rights in return for favors
of one kind or another.
I do not subscribe to that doctrine.
This country that Washington found
ed and which was great enough to
wage a fierce civil war over a prin-
ciple and be saved by Lincoln is not
going to crumble at the offer of a
mirage. Enough of that pioneer
blood has come down to us so that we
will not permit any of our rights to
be taken from us permanently. We
may be pushed around little; we
may even permit ourselves to be in
convenienced when the one doing it
claims to be acting for a noble cause.
But when we realize that some proven
principle or some cherished ideal is
in real danger we will rise up in our
might and say Ear enough; from
now on, we are in charge" We will

seemed right. When we consider that
the document prepared and written
by these men during the troublous
and perpleXing times then existing
has stood like powerful beacon dur
ing all the years and has ever proven
a haven for the down-trodden and UNI
fortunate of all races, how can we not
feel these men had divine guidance ?
Gentlemen I cannot judge the feelings
of others, but for myself, l keep my
hat off with the utmost respect, rev.
erence, devotion and admiration for
that body of men, the Founding Faith
ers, who, at their own expense, while
subject to great criticism and abuse,
neglecting their own business and a
way from their homes and loved ones,
and under the most trying conditions,
devoted themselves and their energies
with such patience, consideration and
wisdom as to produce a document
that still, after $50 years of the most
turbulent period of the worlds his
tory, is called the greatest ever writ
ten by man.
Under that Constitution this coun-
try has grown rich and powerful.
During this time it has not been all
progress; the march has not been con-
tinuously and uninterruptedly up
wards. There have been times when
the going forward was halted; we
might even go backwards a little.
There have been what were called
runs on banks and panics, and what
in these stream-lined days are called
depressions and recessions. But our
forward progress was halted only a
little and but for short time. Our
fathers, with the same courage and
hope, which has sustained their faith
ers at Vally Forge and later at Bull
Run, working on the granite founda-
ton of the Constitution, followed the
paths and teachings which had proven
so safe and sound in the past, and
ever and always came back with a

Herbert Hoover, National Admins

surprise visit from Mrs. G. Walter
Williams, President of the American

Whitney Sees Necessity

said today, if it is to be effective in
meeting totaitarian influences in
Latin America.

tel for Western Hemisphere eco

fullest cooperation of American
business" the chairman of Pan
American Airways said in a state
ment
THE violence of the German war
machines actions against smaller
European states and the cynicism
and arrogance of the NaZi political
attitude toward these states shocked
the majority of South American
peoples and turned their eyes to-
ward the United States. seeking
way to remove their fears of future
Nazi-Fascist domination of them
selves, economic or otherwise"
Whitney said that even now the
pro-Nazi elements in South Amer
lea. although small, are well organ
lied, especially insofar as their
control over certain key businesses
and cooperative groups are con-
Cerned."
He said he had never seen any
reason to believe that Latin Amer
lea was wholly pro-German or Ital-
ian or Russian or pro-anyone else

Wool Demand SIackens
Sharply During Week

BOSTON, June 21.-The CONNER
cial Bulletin will say of the wool
market tomorrow:
"The buying interest which mush-
roomed last week out Of the Army
textile program has gone fiat again
and fine, class wools. which sold
at 88 cents clean last week, have
been sold at IS cents this week.
Not only is interest in wool less
in the Boston market, but it is very
much less in the West. At the sealed
bid sale of the Laramie (Wyo) pool
Wednesday night not one bid was
submitted for the wool Growers are
asking top prices still, but are hold
ing their wool.
Civilian business, which was ex-
pected to be sucked in after the
Army fabrics. movement, has not
materialized to any extent. Caution
still is the better part of valor in
New York, apparently.
Foreign wool markets have little
at the moment to offer of interest
here, although some consideration is
being given to the possible purchase
of South American crossbreds in the
next clip.
