Is Liberty

Roosevelt on the birthday Of the
freest country in the world?
WELL. folks, there won't be
w much of that in Russia.
For Soviet Russia is naturally
more interested in what we've
got than in what we are, and
the day she put the ball-and-
chain on her ankles again in
October. 1917, is of far greater
Importance to her than the day
when a country across the At
lantic was born, a country that
is destined, with England, TO
save her from conquest by Ger
many.
So when you display your
flag tomorrow don't run UP the
Sickle and the Hammer with il,
for it's 10000 bottles of vodka
TO a dish of Boston baked beans
that no American flag will fly
from the Kremlin on July 4,
1943, in honor of the democracy
that is saving Russia from
Hitler.
SALUTE, then, TO the people
~ of the United States en-
this Fourth
Salute to our dead from Val

Salute TO Washington, Paine,

erty, at any price. that the
