and plans of the major political parties?
Is Americanism irrevocably linked with
the monopoly capitaistic system and anyone
questioning that conception to be labeled
"Un-American"?
"Americanism'' is defined in an article
in the September issue of Harpers Magazine,
by DIR. Henry Steele Commager professor of
history at Columbia University, which merits
thoughtful consideration by everyone He
says:
''It is NOT conformity. 1t is NOT passive
acquiescence in the status quo. 1t is NOT
preference for everything American over
everything foreign. 1t is NOT an ostrich
like ignorance of other countries and other
institutions. 1t is NOT the indulgence in
ceremony = flag salute, an oath of allie
glance, fervid verbal declaration. 1t is
NOT a particular creed, particular version
of history, particular body of economic
practices particular philosophy.
sit is tradition, an IDEAL and a prin-
ciple. 1t is willingness to subordinate
every private advantage for the larger
good. 1t is an appreciation of the rich and
diverse contributions that can come from
the most varied sources.
1T is an allegiance to the traditions that
have guided our greatest statesmen and in
spired our most eloquent poets-the tradi-
oiOiio " iiSoeAOill, CqudllCy, QcHOCTdCy, DOlor-
ance, the tradition of the higher law, of ex-
Fermentation, cooperation and pluralism
1t is realization that America was born of
revolt, flourished on dissent, became great
through experimentation
independence was an act of revolution;
republlcanlsm was something new under the
sun; the federal system was a vast expert
mental laboratory. Physically, Americans
were pioneers; in the realm of social and
economic Institutions too, their tradition has
been one of pioneering
10 the thinking man, it must appear that
the only certain way in which our country
can progress, is through change; constant
change to meet new problems, new condi-
ions. Democracy cannot remain static
vi Moreover IT we are to maintain even the
measure OF democracy which we now enioy.
We must constantly guard it against the drift
oward any form of totalitarianism; toward
he usurpation by any group of our citizen
hip of power or influence which would
reate concept of democracy based on self
sh interests dominating progress.
