Again, what in heavens name is
taught to our young men IN history
classes when fourth OF those
quizzed did not know that Abraham
Lincoln was president during the
Civil War, while many others said he
"emaciated" the slaves?
It would seem that our whole
educational system needs overhaul
ing, for Mr.. Pringle says:
"The ignorance of American stu
dents is not limited to history, either.
During fUe years of teaching at the
graduate school of journalism at
Columbia University found student
after student - graduates of Har-
yard, Yale, Cornell, Smith and most
of the other frst-class colleges-Dho
could not tOrite literate English, tOho
could neither spell nor punctuate. "
DETURNING to American history
~ and why the nation should DE-
MAND a knowledge of American
history as No. l study in the curricula
of our schools and colleges, Prof.
Max Savelle of Leland Stanford Jr.
University said at recent confer
ence on history:
I'VE require students to go to
school, and that's not undemocratic.
We require them to read and Write,
and that's not undenocratic. If it is
just as important for them to appre-
ciate our history and If We believe
in ii educationally, tOe ought also to
REQUIRE it,"
AS parting piece of advice Mr..
Pringle says:
at Would do no harm to Uisit a
feU of the history classes in the local
schools and see whether the teach
ers' of American history knorD any
American history"
Unfortunately Ito use a polite
word), too many of these teachers
know more about Karl Marx than
they do about Thomas Jefferson, and
more about the meaning" of the
Russian revolution than they do
about the American revolution.

THIS year. the one hundred and thirty-sixth an
niversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln, it
should be recalled as an historical fact that slavery
was not the direct and instant reason for the
Civil War.
1t was SECESSION.
South Carolina had already seeded from the
union in December 1860, and, as matter of fact,
that state had minister to the United States"
and Legation staff" squatted around the hotels
in Washington waiting to be recognized"
Then came the firing on and surrender of Fort
Sumter and Eincoln's call for $4,000 troops. --
Today the technique of and reasons for seces-
sion from the union Of AZ states far different
DUT if present un-American tendencies are not
- stopped in our country we shall witness some
day, in the not far-dstant future, the elimination
of those acts against our traditional way of life
that were begun in 1888.
That elimination will be SECESSION by the
Transformation of our form of government into
a communstic government.
The Wallace Browder Wagner Hillman
theories of government, borrowed from reaction
ary European states such as Russia and Germany,
are SECESSION theories.
Communism as expounded by its leaders here
is SECESSION from the L. S. A.
The attorney general of the United States has
said that the Communist Party Of America was
an organization to overthrow this government by
force
That was precisely why Abraham Lincoln pro-
claimed state Of war;
The fundamental principles of our democracy
were at stake then, as they are now.
INDEED, the South had far more logic to back
L it in its secession than those political and eco
nomc Secessonists have today who borrow their
"ideologies" from Moscow and Berlin, who say
that the past of America is "horse-and- buggy"
who try to undermine our free enterprise system
make of us reactionary paternalistic govern
ment destroy our personal and industrial liberties
and in word, set up here centralized SLAVE
STATE
All those who seek to ntenationalize the
United States are Seeding from the L. S. A.
sovereign and independent entity of its own.
All those who aid and abet the growing
dominance of executive power over Congress are
SECESSIONISTS.
All those who would exchange their positive
constitutional liberties for vagueg mythical
"crade-to-grave" security are secessonists from
the American doctrines of indivdualism, private
initiative and self-reliance.
\ LII those Americans, native-born or alien
"A spawned, who celebrate the birthday of Lenn
are SECESSIONISTS.
For all these groups and persons are seeding
from a concrete reality-the L. S. A.
Millions of Americans in arms today are NOT
fighting and dying for the American secessionists.
They fight and die for LOYAL OLD Amer
ica-loyal to the ideals Of Washington, Jefferson
and Lincoln.
1t may be said today what Lincoln said in his
address at Cleveland Ohio, on February 15 1861
"If we do not make common cause to save the
good old ship Union on this voyage, nobody will
have chance to pilot her on another VOYAGE
In 1861 secession was with guns.
