Ten Commandments
For ALI Americans

I Am AMERICA, thy country,
which have received thee into the
family of free men, out of the
nations of the earth.
I. THOU SHALT HAVE NO
OTHER ALLEGIANCE BEFORE
ME-Thou shalt not put first
thine own self-interest, nor thy
business, nor thy family. Thou
shalt have but this one interest,
and this one business-that of de-
Tending and preserving the free
dom of thy country and its people.
II. THOU SHALT NOT MAKE
A BADGE OF PATRIOTISM, but
rather thou shalt consider the pri-
vileges thou dost enjoy as an Anne
rican and the solemn obligations
they place upon thee. Thou shalt
school thy children in the respon-
sibilities of free men, teaching
them that if they would bequeath
liberty to their children they must
deserve and preserve it.
III. THOU SHALT NOT LOSE
FAITH IN DEMOCRACY. Thou
shalt have confidence in thy ma
ton and its appointed leaders, up
holding them in thine heart. Thou
shalt be calm in time of difficulty,
confident in time Of disappoint-
ment, courageously enduring sac
rifice.
w. THOU SHALT CONSERVE
THY TIME, to use for the best
Of thy nation. Thou shalt set aside
part of thy time for the direct well
fare of this people. hou shalt plan
thy life to conserve thy health
and strength. For in seven days

A Prayer for the Pres.
of the United States

~ bAs OAAeA6s A1SGSAO
Thou Great Sovereign of all ma
tons. Thou King of Kings, and
Lord of Hosts, in these perilous
times of war and rumors of war,
when all the powers of hate have
been loosed to kill and to destroy,
we pray that Thy Spirit may stead
we pray that Thy Spirit may stea-
dy the minds and quicken the
hearts of those who call them
selves by Thy name, acknowledge
ing Thee as Father.
We pray especially for the Pre-
sident of the United States, upon
whom has been laid heavy bur-
dens and grave responsibilities,
as he speaks for our country and
for its people.
Renew his strength as daily his
burdens increase. Give him the
wisdom and understanding that
cometh only from above. Protect
him from those whose motives
and methods are prompted by the
spirit of selfishness or personal
ambition.
Show him thy will. Out of the
conflict of counsel may Thy voice
come unto him saying: This is
the way-walk we it. And as Thy
will is revealed, increase his faith,
so that he may go forth in the
consciousness of having fulfilled
the task committed to him.
And we pray that he, with us,
shall seek above all things else,
to honor and glorify Thee, hasten
ing the coming of Thy Kingdom
upon earth, and the rule of thy
spirit of brotherhood in the lives
and the hearts of all peoples Of
the earth so that all nations may
dwell together in peace and unity.
Amen.

shalt sacrifice thine immediate in
terests and comforts in order that
thou canst best serve the ultimate
! interests and safety of thy neigh
bors.
VI. THOU SHALT NOT HAIR
Dor HATRED in THINE HEART
for even though thy nation be at
war, a time will come when thou
must again cooperate in peace and
friendship with the whole world.
And thou must remember that thy
nation is at war to stamp out these
very things-the spirit of hatred,
of cruelty, of intolerance.
VII. THOU SHALT NOT LOSE
THY STRENGTH OF C1ARAC-
Ter. Though the strain of war be
strong upon thee, thou shalt not
use this as an excuse to let down
thy moral standards. For thou
shalt remember that the strength
of a nations character depends
upon the strength of character of
its individual citizens.
VIII. THOU SHALT NOT
HOARD, for boarding is the selfish
act of stealing from another in the
hope of making thine own life
easier. Dost thou think that If
thy neighbor is in want, thou shalt
be permitted to hold thy private
goods for thine own pleasure?
TX. THOU SHALT NOT
SPREAD RUMORS. Thine enc
mics rejoice when they cause thee
to repeat tales of unverified dis
aster, or to expose supposed weak
nesses which time and true report
prove imaginary. For they know
full well that by such ill-consider-
ed chattering the peoples morale
is best destroyed.
x. THOU SHALT SUPPORT
THY GOVERNMENT. Cheerfully
shalt thou pay thy share of taxes
and, in addition, to the limit of thy
ability, purchase Defense Bonds
and Stamps. Thou shalt not covet
the salary or position of another,
but perform faithfully the work
that is thine. All to the end that
thy freedom, and the freedom of
all men everywhere, shall be re-
stored and preserved forevermore.

try and in the world. You will not
grow bigger than your own feel
ings, you will not accomplish more
than you are. This fight for equa-
lily begins in your own soul, and
then it must spread as wide as the
world. The battle against race
prejudice is no longer a family
quarrel in our own house. The
great storm that now sweeps hui
mainly has swept us all with it,
and our own fight against discri-
mination has become part of the
tremendous struggle for human
freedom upon this globe.
LET us enlarge our own minds,
then, let us increase the space of
our souls, that we may be fit to
live through these heroic times"

Stepping out of her usual role
of writer, Pearl Buck last week de-
livered the commencement address
to the graduates of Howard Uni
versity down in the nations CAPT
tai. What she told the graduates
will hardly he forgotten by them
in a hurry, because rather than
INDUCING, as so many commence
ment speakers are wont to do, In
advice to the graduates she launch
ed into another of her new famous
talks on democracy.
Life" said Miss Buck, sis SC
individual a thing in ordinary
times, so much depends on the
person who is to live it, that all
have ever felt I could say was ca
silly said in a sentence-the only
way to find is the use of making
a speech about what could be said
in one sentence?"
After giving her background In
China Miss Buck started on her
favorite topic-democracy. IT be
lieve," she said, that discrimina-
ton in our country must go, be
cause until it does, we will not
have won the war. We cannot
fight for freedom unless we fight
for freedom for all. We are not
better than fascists if we fight for
the freedom of one group, and not
another, for the benefit of one
race and not another, for the ag-
grandizement of a part and not
the betterment of the whole. And
we must be better than fascists
We cannot allow in our nation the
evil root of something which Hit
Ter has developed into a system
of slavery the like of which the
world has never seen, where the
individual is nothing but a piece
of property siezed and used and
tossed aside by a robber govern
ment.
1.-THE danger of race prejudice
Miss Buck declared, always is
that it tends to lump people to-
gether, and to ignore the indivi-
dual. Any nation which tolerates
prejudice against one group in its
people carries inside itself the po-
tentialities of developing fascism
as a persistent sore is always q
potential cancer.
1.-THE equality of opportunity,
therefore, which you have not been
given in your country, has now be-
come more than an individual han
dicap, more than a group misfor-
tune. It has become a national
danger of the sharpest sort, a rock
upon which our whole nation may
founder. 1t is now necessary that
all of us who believe with all our
hearts in democracy work toge-
