Hearst Papers
Called Liberty
Bells Of Nation
Special 10 THE DETROIT TIMES

NEW YORK. July 6.-"The
Hearst newspapers are the liberty
bells of the nation. They ring
daily in millions of American
homes. Americanism is the creed
of the Hearst publications" de-
clared Harry II. Schlacht, editor
of the East Eide News, in the
Rally Round the Liberty Bell
celebration held here at 1876
Broadway.
Schlacht saluted the leadership
of William Randolph Hearst as the
first American pioneer in the
movement developed to encourage
the training of youthful filters as
part of our national Defense" the
l"I Am An American Day" and
Macarthur Day" celebrations and
the national campaign to purchase
bombers, which won the highest
commentator from Henry Nor
genthau. secretary Of treasury and
other national leaders.
Indeed" asserted Schlacht,
"Mr. Hearst stands before the
American people today In clear
and undisturbed light as the
foremost American crusader of
our generations; a man with
sagacity, resolution and n
visioned faith which has ever
been our anchorage In the storm
lest of times.
FIGHTING FOR ITS LIFE
To-day liberty Is fighting for
| its life. The high crusade
wherein We have embarked calls
into action every spark of our
genius, every inheritance of our
pioneering spirit, every native
skill. every faith we hold dear,
every liberty we cherish and all
that we are and hope to be.
"The challenge comes to us
from every battlefield and every
patriots grave to every living
heart and hearthstOne all over
the land.
"In this war against darkness,
there Is no escape. We are fight
ing not merely for a way of life,
but for the way of living; not
only for a form OF government.
but for the substance OF our
American soul.
WE WILL NOT FAIL
I'VE will not fail In this crisis.
We will 60 forward with Presi-

There will be no despair In
the hearts of the victims of
tyranny so long as America
keeps alive the flame of hope to
the oppressed of the world"
A human American flag COM
posed of school children and a
reproduction of the liberty bell in
roses, were the highlights of the
demonstration. which was attended
by representatives of the clergy
and leaders in civic and patriotic
organizations.
