canvas of humans memory.
Out of this dream was born
the American spirit which
proved TO be neither area nor
population.
Ii became the incarnatel
fame of freedom for the OPP
pressed of the earth.
TO-DAY we salute this god
i dess of liberty, whose
magic arm has pointed the
way, whose torch has blazed
the trail and whose symbol
has lighted the road. Men
have died for her. Patriots
have bied for her. Nations
have sued for her hand. She
is the greatest heiress in all
the world. She represents all
the riches there are. She is
the most sublime statue OF
human eXperience-the statue
of freedom. Proud ships have
sailed before her; submarines
have ridden under her. Planes
have flown around her star
pointed crown, and dirigibles
have dipped to salute her.
Generations of pilgrims with
their worldly goods wrapped
i'm bed sheets have thrilled at
the significance of her up
flung torch Of liberty and felt
the birth of renewed hope for
their children budding at
their knees.
Through the gradual proc
esses of naturalization and
assimilation, they have be-
come Americans. They have
added new glory TO old glory.
In every one of its folds is
written the epic of their pa
triOtism.
They have hung it's stream
ing emblazonry from the very
battIements of heaven.
They have put upon it the
benediction of their blood and
bathed il with their tears.
Their children have nOur-
ished the sentiments epito-
mized in that flag.
They have not dimmed one
star from its ancient lustre
nor erased one OF its bold
stripes.
Its folds have been wrapped
around the humblest immi-
grant and raised him to dig
nifty and responsibility of
citizenship.
Its embrace has encom-
passed the oppressed of the
world and, clothed them with
liberty and freedom.
WHAT We need today Is
w that good Old-fashiOned
Americanism that tugs at the
leartstrings and makes you
eel proud to be a citizen Of
the United States; the kind
that gives you an internal
glow when you see the "Stars
and Stripes" waving in the
breeze; the kind that inspires
you when you hear the "Star
Spangled Banner" Our flag
was bought by the founders
of the republic with their
battling faith to be the last
ing symbol of mans noblest
dream of justice, truth and
liberty for all" 1t belongs
to no political party, class or
creed and stands for no Op-
pressive ism.
Let us on AUGMENTATION
Day voice the feelings that
are i'm our hearts and lift our
praise and thankfulness to
the Heavenly Father for the
privilege Of living under smil-
ing American skies; let us
voice our eternal gratitude
for the blessings that flow
from our democracy; let Us
not lose faith in our destinies
nor forget that we must de-
fend our war-bOrn liberties
and freedom with the same
intrepid and memorable resO-
luton by which they were
won by the founders of the
republic. Our heritage is a
glory that has never been
furnished and our national
honor has never yet been
stained. Let Us not lose

Army Equd|izes
Promotion Plan
International News Service Wire

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-The
army today acted TO remove in
equalities between regular and re-
serve officers by inaugurating a
new promotion policy.
Under the new policy temporary
promotion by selection is extended
to all grades. and the army is
given greater freedom TO revitalize
its commands with younge
officers.
The war department instituted
a program last June of promoting
officers to temporary colonies by
selection. thus providing the army
with more vigorous leadership by
departure from the old system of
seniority.
The same plan is now to be used
in promoting regular army majors
10 lieutenant colonies, the war
department said.
In revamping the promotion
system. the war department re-
ported that certain second lieuten-
ants, both regular and reserve, will
be promoted 10 first lieutenants.
while some first lieutenants from
both components will be promoted
to temporary captains, and some
regular and reserve captains Will
be promoted 10 temporary majors.
