I'm an American and, as an
American. here are some things |

or government can change with
wrong.
L believe the man sitting next to
me in the bus, the man at 1.-The
factory bench, the banker in his
office, the editor at his desk, the
minister in his pulpit is my neigh
Dor and worth as much to God as
as I am. When I went to school. I
was taught that men are created
free and equal. I believe that and,
as an American, I'm against the
agitators who want to drive some
of u people out because they
don't like their race Or religion
or the country that they came
from. That sounds to me like the
stuff Hitler peddled-and we don't
have any place in America for
anything like that.
/ don't see what a mans race or
religion has got to do with it. We
re all human beings made by the
same God. We all have the same
life. We all suffer from the things
and what makes one man happy
is likely to make everyone happy
I certainly wouldn't like it il
anyone spoke against the people
of my race Or my religion andtried
to drive them out of America

notify the class he belongs to. We
must keep our people united if
can-and so I'm against spread
ing hate about any race, religion,

And I don't think it's enough
just to be against hate, I believe
we must be for democracy and
a united America. So I fight for
it. And don't think I haven't a lot
Of company-good company-be-
cause I certaily have. I'm part
of the majority on this question of
keeping America united and free
of hate of one group for another.
Most Americans think as I do

it is the story Of the Prodigal

strous national debt of $3.50, 0O0.-
100000, we continue to look
around trying to find things for,
which to appropriate money.
1t is easy to justify any and
every expenditure. Constituents
in each and every community
represented by Senator Bloahet

spout a whole book of reasons
why this or that pet project must
90 through. Folks are inclined to
think that the money for the
whole thing is a gift, just because
they don't see where it comes
from. But the founding fathers
did not leave at Washington a
mill which flows out perpetual
dollars. n
Maybe it's not a nice thought,
but you can't keep on spending
money without knowing where
its coming from. This was a fact

ONE TIME there was a young

prices were high. 1t was . period
of prosperity<for everybody. APP

this son saw that others were
having a good time spending
money. Since evsrybody's doing
it, he thought, why shouldn't !
enjoy myself?
So'this fine young man who had
all the opportunities one could
wish for and a brilliant future in
sight, kept after his father until
the day @the old man settled him

This country boy then went to
town, and set out to have himself

The use Of questions on whether
