ade by Rupert Hughes on Feb 19:
business principles in national sovereignty and in
everything that Laski finds so ludicrous.
Shall accept the Marxites and Laski-ites
our leaders go along the rOay that has led our
l3 little colonies into the supreme potDer of the
uUorld?
Our nation contributed to history the nven-
ton of new people made of all peoples, and based
on the equality and freedom Of every individual
a government of, for and by the people.
The new concept of liberty revolutionized the
thinking and the striving and the ideals of man.

OF THE Declaration of independence, Isabel
~ Paterson in her noble book, "The God of the
Machine" says:
"The most profound scholar of the past cen
fury, Lord Acton Dho deUoted his life to the study
of the history of human liberty, said that human
quarter of the eighteenth century in Philadelphia
Think of it. True liberty that lDhch
WAS NOT until our country came into existence.
The Constitution Of the United States was
also written in Philadelphia. Of it the English
Gladstone said:
at is the greatest york eUer struck off at any
one time by the mind and purpose of man"
On that little altar in Philadelphia was kim
died flame that has illumined the night of an
cient expressions.
1t has burned brighter and brighter; and to-
day it is the light of the world 1t is the warmth
and radiance of the world.
When the brave few gathered together IN
1776 and rsked their lives in signing that decara
ton there were many craven Americans who wept
at the thought of our independence.
Today there are many Americans who would
surrender it.. They woHld quench that altar fire
and ask It's to follow their Wills-o-the-Wisp into the
SWampS and the night
What have these people ever done for us?
What liberties have they Wrested from tyranny?
What battlefields have they fought on and won?
Who gave them the right to promise us anything
to equal the majestic magnificent republic that
grew up in this wilderness like a magic evocation?
T HIS year finds us engaged in the most enor-
nous war Of history, against the most evil mon
sters ever known in history. We are winning that
war everywhere we fight. And we fight every
where. We furnish weapons to our allies We
furnish food to them all. In us is their only hope
Of salvation.
Twice now we have saved Great Britain from
defeat and disaster.
France gave us vital help in our Revolution.
We saved France once well save her again
The Empress Catherine of Russia gave us in
direct help during our Revolution by advocating
The armed neutrality.
We haue in this toar saved Russia from fright
full disaster by gigantic shipments to her
submarine infested seas, of endless stream of
planes and tanks and other Oeapons.
We saved her from her great famine by
teaching her modern agriculture and sending her
the farm machinery invented and developed in
this country, An American engineer built the
great Dnieper dam for her
At this very moment we are saving that gi
gantic country from another famine in the midst
of war
1t is right that we should. 1t is glorious that
we can.
All we need to do is to 90 on from here by the
same highway and the same VISIONS that brought
us here
