Co gov. of the people by the people and for the people,. So, If we are to have charity for all (and that does- n't mean just Englishmen) we must wait until we can be of service when they have settled the way of life they do prefer. If that doesn't make sense with honesty what does2 Trouble is British Americans aren't concerned with sense combined with honesty, they want all-out- help for England and, if you will permit a little expressive slang, ito heck" with anything that stands in their way even our glorious America. The nations of Europe, including Eng land (mind you) are all tarred with the same stick of persecution and ill-legal conquest and 1t doesn't take intelligence to see that our best bet is to build strong and fast for the defense of America, these United States, and let our neighbors run their diplomatic houses as they see fit. It only takes Q sense of honesty and AMERICAN PATRIOTISM. Just suppose your neighbor was run ming his house in Q way you could not approve of, would you be justi- fled in trying to get other neighbors to help you to change his plans?

So when those who fall 8 victim of their persuasive lies attempt to white-wash England to the detriment of this country 1t is the duty of self-respecting AAGERI- CANS to rise to the defense of the United States. In these days of de- fense, what service could be more effective that the defense of AMER ICA right here at home where it seems to need 1t most. England has proven herself a false friend to this country. It is probably true that other European countries would do the same. Nevertheless, trial by jury is still an AMERICAN custom and aside from debts, trade and Q few minor incidence. they have had no chance because England occupied tho stage too much Of the time.
