when it was one hundred years old,
in letter written to the committee
in charge of the centennial anniver.
sary of the American Constitution
in 1887.
Now, after one hundred and fifty
eight years, the American people are
privileged to make their own ap-
praisal anew, out of their continuing
experience.
The American people would be
unworthy of their heritage if they
did not make that appraisal appre-
ciatively.
They have just emerged from the
greatest war in history, with the
Union more perfect than ever before,
with Justice triumphant, with tran
quillity restored with their defense
impregnable, with the general wei.
fare of the nation safeguarded, and
with the blessings of liberty secured
to themselves and their posterity as
completely as men have the power
and the wisdom to secure such
blessings.
THE unity, the justice, the tran
L quillity, the security, the welfare
and the liberty of the American
people have all been achieved
UNDER the Constitution of the
United States.
They have been achieved BE
CAUSE of the Constitution, and
because the American people have
BELIEVED in it and had FAITH
in it and have been willing to fight
and die for the principles it expounds
and for the wholesome and bene-
fetal instruments of government it
created.
This remarkable work. of the
American people must never be
without the faith and fidelity of the
people.
Let the anniversaries of it's adop-
tion always be observed apprecia-
lively by the American people.
Let it always be defended against
attack and disparagement, as faith
fully as it has now been preserved
for one hundred and fifty eight
years, and the liberties our fathers
made for themselves and we now
enjoy will be perpetuated for all
posterity, according to the original
hope and plan.

The u. =. Constitution

THE Constitution Of the United
l. States, formally adopted by a
constitutional convention in Phila
delphia on Sept. II, 1877, has now
been the pattern of the life and gov
ernment of the American people for
one hundred and fifty eight years.
This is the historic instrument of
government that William Ewart
Gladstone, the great English states
man whose name has become a uni
versal symbol for learning in the
law, once called 1.-THE most remark.
able work known TO me IN modern
times to have been produced by the
human intellect" "
It is "the remarkable work" as
its preamble attests, of the PEOPLE
of the United States.
"We, the people of the United
States do ordain and establish
this Constitution for the United
States of America" says the pre-:
amble.
THE specific purposes of the people
l. were set forth in the opening
paragraph of the instrument.
These are the things the people
proposed to do:
To form a more perfect UNION.
To establish JUSTICE.
To insure domestic TRAN
QUILLITY.
To provide for the common
DEFENSE.
To promote the general VEL
FARE.
To secure the blessings of
LIBERTY to ourselves and our
posterity.
The measure in which the Ameri-
can people have succeeded in these
purposes, through the instrument of
their making, is the most wonderful
thing in all human experience, the
most noble achievement of mankind
in all history, the most beneficial
and enlightened and determined
stride the people of any nation in
the history of the world have ever
taken toward the attainment of
happiness and prosperity in an at
mosphere of security and liberty.

period it is especially important that
our USO be afforded every possible
facility for functioning as vigorously
as before.
There is no more trying time in
the life of soldier than the monoto-
nous span from the end of war until
he is discharged. His morale goes
down, his homesickneSs increases.
No matter how valiant he may have
been in battle he is an impatient and
disgruntled person waiting to get
back home.
Gen. Eisenhower estimated de-
mobilization of our troops will take
up to 18 months. Even after that
we will have troops of occupation in
Germany and Japan.
"USO," says Eisenhower, "must
increase it's efforts because occupa-
tion forces not engaged in warfare
are bound to present greater prob
lens of morale. USO must also help
the wounded in hospitals in this
country, and with the military estab-
lishments where veterans await de-
mobilization.
We at home are deeply proud of
the record of the Detroit USO. We
must keep alive that pride and we
must give our USO workers all the
help we can in the hard months i'm

national attention was CEN
tered on housing. and pub

"Thus the sO-called mir
acle house began to take

morrow.
