The smoke over the convention hall in
Chicago has faded away now. The candidates

,Tai,ea States have been chosen by their
resnective political parties. Issues have been

Communism Great Enemy
Of Free Government

The great enemy of free gov
ernment today Is Soviet Com
munism. The doctrines of Com
munism are a slow poison that,
bit by bit, eat away the moral
fiber of the victim and destroy
the human soul. Communism Is
the enemy of free government
because it destroys morality.
which is the basis Of freedom.
These immoral doctrines of
Communism now have the peo-
pie of many nations in their
grip. The leaders of Communist
imperialism have marshalled men
and resources in a great contest
against free government. We
must win that contest because
we want to remain free. We
never want the people Of the
United States to live as the
people of the Soviet Union live
today.
In the Soviet Union, all the
decisions are made by a small
group of men at the top, and
the people are told what they
can think, where they can work,
how they shall live. If they do
not do as they are told, they are
hustled off by the secret police
to terrible concentration camps.

ship:
I am very happy to join in
this celebration of Citizenship
Day. This Is the day on which
We celebrate both the signing of
the Constitution and what it
means to be q citizen Of the
United States.
It was just this year that the
Congress adopted legislation
establishing Citizenship Day.
This is the first time that we
have observed it. I hope the
ceremonies and activities here
today will launch an annual
celebration that will increase in
meaning and influence among
our people as the years pass.
It pleases me very much to see
here this group Of men and
women who will be admitted to
United States citizenship this
morning. I welcome them to
the fellowship Of the citizens
who live unoer our flag; ana i
want to say something to them
about the step they are going to
take here today.
We are glad that you are
about to join us. Millions of
men and women before you,

taken the same path to become
citizens Of this country.

Your Job to Make Clear
Ideals of Americonism

The groups and organizations
represented here can do a great
deal to put a stop to this sort
Of confusion. It is your job to
make the ideals and principles
of Americanisrn clear to our
citizens. particularly to our
young people.
The success Of our inStitu-
tions depends on q clear under
standing Of what our democracy
is-what its foundations are
where it is strong and where it
is weak. Free government is
based not only on morality, but
also on reason.
Among the greatest dangers
to free government in this coun-
try are lack Of knowledge, lack
OF civic responsibility-igno-
rance and apathy, and perver-
sions of the truth. I would like
to talk about q few Of these
internal dangers to free govern
ment.
The first Of them is ignorance
Of our institutions. know that
many Of you here are educators
and teachers and that you are
working night and day to ex-
plain to our young people what
our Government stands for and
how 1t works. And yet it is sur
prising, In spite Of all these ef-
forts. how much ignorance there
Is.
Thirty-five per cent Of the
people who voted in l948 did
not know that each State has
two Senators. One public
opinion poll showed that so
per cent Of the people do not
even know who their own
Congressman is. A survey in
one Of our great cities in 1850
showed that IS per cent Of the
people did not know the name
Of any congressional candidate
on any ticket. This is the kind
Of ignorance we must stamp out
If our way Of life is to be seizure.
Another great danger we face
is apathy or indifference. The
extent to which our citizens
ignore the right to vote is
appalling. In 1850. only a per
cent Of our eligible voters went
