Without not with the "and to hell
with the rest Of the world" spirit.
They claim they are the only real
Americans-thc only true patriots,
But-after all, when we say Ameli-

We mean that we will keep the
ideals that have made America first
among nations. first in our hearts and
in our lives, Not only will we be
from many one"-but one for the
many We may work one for all. not
all for one.
We mean that we believe in the
equality Of all men before the law
with equal access to justice in fact.
Or as Sumner WelIes phrased ii, The
equality Of Individuals. like Jhe equal
ity of people cannot be granted by
fiat. Equality depends on their own
achievements and upon their own in
trinsic worth But to equality Of hu-
man rights, and to equality of oppor-
tunity, every human being is by Di-
vine Right entitled. That is the es-
sence Of our democratic faith" We

this family survived and who are re

The bulk Of the book has to do
