by partisan approach, may devote
the time left to me to preaching
teaching and living Americanism
BY that term I mean to include
among other things, devotion to the
concept of human freedom and
dignity of man; adherence to the
system of free enterprise and recog-
milton that a positive program OF
supporting freedom both at home
and aboard is essential to our future
