"Americanism to me means al
so that those despicable signs of
racial and religious intolerance,

democracy gives to them.
"And Americanism means to me
optimism: having faith in the fut-
ure. It means that the vast pos

been just barely tapped, that this
nation of ours has yet not even
neared that elimination of great
ness and prosperity which is its
destiny.
