makes them Americans. | believe that
certain staid customs, certain restric-
tons and customs handed down thru
the ages prevented them from enjoy
ing the fulness of service to God &C
cording to the dictates of their hearts
until they found real freedom of wor-
ship in America.
Here, we are free to serve our God
as we see the light, whether we are
Catholic or Protestant, Jew or Gen.
tile. Here we have certain tolerance
and respect for each others form Of
worship. That is one of the added
things that make us Americans.
In some countries too much atten-
ton is paid to class distinction. A per-
son born to a certain class hardly
ever has a ghost of chance to rise
above it. His position and destiny
in life and society is settled at his
birth.
This war has brought out a lot of
the hidden qualities of Americans. Of
course these qualities might have
been covered by bit of veneer made
up of snobbishness among our So
called blue Bloods" and others that
sort of hold themselves little above
the masses. This veneer soon melted
away with the call to arms in the de-
Tense of our country. and we all found
ourselves on common ground.
In a truly American spirit to serve
on the battlefelds, in the defense
chemical laboratories, hospitals, USO
clubs for entertainment of those in
the service, or by buying war bonds
to help finance our fight toward vic
tory over our common enemy No
where else in the world could it have
been possible for a people to accom-
pliSh such tremendous task as that
of girding ourselves in armament, in
manpower and all the necessities of
war so completely and efficiently as
we have done in such a short time.
That was the true spirit of Ameri-
canism at work. We have that certain
something: that spiritual, mental
moral and physical strength that once
aroused against an enemy to our way
Of life, and other peaceful nations,
knows no obstacles nor defeat.
We do not war against national-
ties. We do not fight Germany because
her people arc Germans. We do not
fight Japan because her people are
Japanese. Rather do we fight the evil
that has possessed the minds and the
hearts of these people and made them
into ruthless murderers, thieves and
prosecutors bent on destroying or in
stealing the lands and homes of
peaceful nations, or cnslaving their
people.
We who have known freedom for
so many years; we through whose
veins flows the blood of ancestors who
shook off the shackles of monarchy
and slavery and blazed trails thru the
wilderness from the Atlantic to the
Pacific, to open farmlands and tap the
great natural resources of ours for
their use and benefit of humanity, and
laid the foundation of freedom and all
that it stands for, know what we are
fighting for We want every country
in the world to enjoy the same ad-
vantage we enjoy in our way of life.
SO beware, you enemies of freedom
Well fight with the same courage and
faith in God that we fought with when
our nation was born, on to final vic
tory and peace.
We are Americans.
