The seeds planted by our Found
ing Fathers exposes It's fruitage
today to the gaze of all man
kind.
The fountain of our Founding
Fathers sends trickling drops of
its reviving stream to every cor
ner Of the globe.
May it cause the cry of freedom
to burst
Forth from the unfettered
earth, and the
Ensign of peace to float on
every wind.
God has given us domain grand
er and richer than He has be-
slowed upon any other people.
He has entrusted to us the ark of
civilization
That it may lead in the estab-
lishment
OF His kingdom upon the
earth.
We are truly Gods chosen peo-
pie.
Today we are challenged by the
goddess creatures in the Krem-
lin.
Today we stand at the crossroads
of civilization.
One path leads to despair and
desolation.
The other path leads to freedom
and the pursuit of our American
way of life.
Every spark of genius,
Every inheritance of our histori-
cal past,
Every native skill which has
helped to build our blessed
country,
Every liberty we treasure and
covet calls us into action
To defend our glorious heri-
tage, and
To destroy the alien evil of
Communism that seeks to
enslave us.
We prosecute no class,
We kindle no fires to scorch the
stars
OF faith,
OF liberty
OF justice.
We forge chains for no man, but
We will allow no man to forge
chains for us.
We dictate no creeds, but
We will defend our affairs.
Let us give constant repetition to
the blessings and truths as
enunciated in our charter OF
freedom.
Let us always cherish our Bill OF
Rights.
Let us always strive to exemplify
its principles in our daily lives
Let us all cry out today, as one
voice
God bless the United States
of America!

It was this spirit which lies at the
root of civilization.
1T fired the hearts of the Pill
grims.
It speeded the Mayflower to its
anchorage at Plymouth Rock.
It was the prayer Of the Puritans.
the Huguenots and the Moravi-
ans.
1t enabled them to brave the perils
of the savage frontier
That they could Worship God
according to the dictates
OF their own conscience.
Our Bill Of Rights was born dur
ing the birth of our Nation.
It is the echo of the centuries.
It Is the cradle Of our personal
liberties.
1t is the inspiration Of our Ameri-
can way OF lie.
Our Bill Of Rights represents
the high concept of mans estate
proclaimed in the Declaration OF
independence and embodied in the
Constitution of the United States.
Our Bill of Rights affirms the
right Of every man TO those
great basic freedoms which help
keep inviolate the personality
and the conscience of man
Freedom Of speech,
Freedom of press,
Freedom of religion,
Freedom of assembly,
And the other inalienable rights
Of self-respecting Nation.
America has emblazoned these
ideals upon her shield.
We are a God-loving people.
We were bred in the solemn con-
viction that the foundation
stone of liberty lay in the abid-
ing Declaration and Testimony
OF Free Government"
Our glorious past was deeply
spiritual.
We enshrined deep in our
hearts the constitutional privil-

HERE And THERE
tHy AMP

Rumor has 1t that the NAACP
in Los Angeles is in danger of
losing its charter. Reason: Com
mic infiltration, and stagnated
leadership. (Warning to other
branches: better be on the alert
to these twin dangers.)
Incidentally, Albright made a
tremendous impression on the cast
of the Abbott Costello lot recently
in L. A. The big fellow was the
guest of Mildred Blount, sepia
world famous designer of hats,
and had himself time with the
movie stars and their colleagues.
Five will get you your own odds
that the report of its commission
on education to the 1949 conclave
of the National Negro Business
League is going to make some red
faces. Report will undoubtedly
point out glaring weaknesses in
our training facilities and oppor-
tunities.
Warning to the Negro press:
If you do not take the lead in ex-
posing treacherous Negro leader
ship, we might as well call this
whole fight for advancement a
failure. Nothing will do us a
greater disservice than a tongue
in-the-cheek attitude toward these
rats.

Il h the brightest Jewel
n the crown Of our democracy.
The scale Of Justice came from
Egypt.
The modern concept Of right and
wrong came from the Ten Com
mandments.
The rights Of man came from the
Magma Charta-
Like threads Of gold and silver,
running through the records OF
the human race. are the stories
OF mans struggle for freedom.
Liberty has lifted mankind to its
feet,
From its feet to wings. and made
people what God intended them
to be-free men and women.
As the natural law was ordained
By God,
so our American Magma Charta
stands for the rights
That are divine In our Nation.
The spirit of independence has
been the irresistible impulse Of
man in every age.
It must have been discussed long
before the dawn Of recorded
time.
Before the Pickering fires OF the
Mediterranean caves where
early man
Rested after the hunt;
Under the stars of Central Asia
when the flocks we're bedded
Down for the night.
Wherever men gathered together,
drawn by common bond,
The principles of sacrifice for the
common good
Emerged as the only basis upon
which they could build
A society which would satisfy the
proudest instincts of man.

FILIPINOS AND ENGLISH WAYS

The Filipnos have just completed an election Which included voting for President; eight Senators and ninety-eght Members of the House of Representatives.
 Altogether some four million votes were cast out of
 population of about twenty million This is not bad for a small country which is in the process of developing democratic self-government
 It is impossible for one in this country to pass udg ment on counter-charges that inevitably follow cleo tons It is interesting however, to note that the Fi pinos the Asiatc people in the Far East to at tempt to follow the pattern of democracy.
 It may also interest Americans to recall that the Fi pinos speak English They the only native people of Far Eastern regions who do It about because the United States after the Spanish American War at tempted to set up schools for the Filipino people There were so many dialects that it impossible to select any native tongue and the decision made to teach Filipinos to use the English language.

RAY BALLOONS FROM FRANCE

No great excitement occurred in the United States gently when three balloon carrying cosmc ray record ing equipment landed near JohnstOwn PennSylv lvania.
 Investigation revealed that the balloons sent up near Paris France July 18th, by French scientist They travelled nearly 39O0 miles before landing one hundred days later
 If American cosmc ray balloons happened to land in Soviet Russia, the Red generals would, doubt envi- sion great There might be some suspicion in this country if Russian balloons to rest on American soil with regularity. No suspicion however, attaches to the French because, after a nobody ex poets war between France and the United States.
 It may be that this expectation is largely responsible for the alarms that occupy much of the public mind in connection with relations between the United States and Russia Apparently it is not what happens so much as what people think might happen that excites the public mind.

PANAMA, Panama (P)-Arnul- fo Arias, a fiery 49-year-old sur geon, early today became Pana- mas third President in six days by proclamation of Congress.
 The Congressional approval ap- parently put the stamp of legality on the latest coup by Panama's President-making police chief. Col. Jose Remon.
 Remon, who forced the custer of President Daniel Chanis, Jr., on Sunday, late last night defied a ruling of the Supreme Court and announced that Arias was the new President. A few minutes before, the court had ruled Chanis was still the constitutional President of this central American country.

 The circular structure of marble, completed in 1850 is 179 feet high It sixteen and one-haf feet out of plumb and the record reveals that it listed twelve inches between 1929 and 1910.
 Mathematical genuses with yen to solve problems might begin calculate how far the Tower will list be- fore it falls Obviously, if the process continues long enough the structure will hit the ground. Will expert figure out the year in which it will occur?

(Mitchell s. Dak., Gazette)
 Even if Uncle Sam would make good banker, money lender builder under ordinary circumstances, he starts off under handicap when he begins to operate under the recently passed Truman Housing Act This act provides that farmers who need money help in getting better homes additional acreage get funds for this purpose, eff they approved by housing agency This might be something of protection to Un cle Sam and the American taxpayer if approval really meant ability to pay; but the law also provides that farmer can get any of this help unless he can not raise the money in any other way, such a bank loan.
 Now who but New Deal or Fair Deal brainstormer would have thought up that one!
