ability to make judgments for
ourselves. Thus freedom of Wor-
ship is the social recognition that
the individual can have and en-
joy the type of religious expert
ence and association that he
chooses. Freedom of speech means
that the individual car hold and
express opinion as an individual.
We assume that our very Citizen
ship" connotes these rights be-
cause our political structure has
been SO framed as to safeguard
them.
The concept of rights, in turn,
may depend to a large degree on
the fashion in which individuals
have suffered impairment of their
own human identity. Thus in our
own Bill of Rights there Is express
provision that soldiers may not.
be quartered on the citizen ex-
cept by his own consent. This is
nowadays hardly what we would
think of as a vital human right,
but in the days of the drafting of
the first ten Amendments it was
still a burning question arising
out of immediate experience.
Some of the persons who became
citizens yesterday may quite
rightly feel that one of the most
critical rights of citizenship is
freedom of personal movement.
Those of us who have never been
inhibited in this respect would
take that for granted. We don't
think of getting a police permit
to 60 from New York to New
Jersey.
In so far as citizenship helps to
make secure these aunalienable
rights it is a great privilege and
it is not a novelty. Appeals to
Greek or Roman or. British or
French citizenship have starred
the pages of religious and secular
history.
At the same time, we no less

of rights but also Of responsible

WHAT CITIZENSHIP MEANS

NV4411 A644N04&A& &NAASAANS
Those persons who gathered in
Central Park yesterday to make
their contribution to the celebra-
ton of Citizenship Day must have
had a variety of feelings. Citizen
ship means different things to
different persons and what it
means can change with time and
place. Most of us, day in and day
cut, take our citizenship for
granted. 1t is an indicator of
where we happened to be born
and in what community we hap
pen to live. It is only in times of
upheaval and change that the
mark of the citizen becomes vital.
1t is well worth reflection and
examination.
The citizenship idea is, first of
all, a social concept. It indicates a
relationship to other persons. We
cannot be citizens without be-
ing fellow citizens" The com
mon holding of faith and belief
in what is good has given us the
cohesive cement that binds a So
ciety together. We may have a
dozen sharp differences Of opinion
and judgment and we may have
circles of immediate interest small
Ter than our whole social group.
But we have an essential "ethos,"
a basic judgment of good and bad,
true and false, right and wrong,
that brings us, and keeps us, to-
gether. That is moral citizenship.
Because Of this community of
basic belief we have made our
contribution to the organization of
political framework under which
we live. We have, in common ac-
ton, made laws that govern our
behavior and have empowered
certain of our fellow citizens to
oversee their enforcement. We
have, by common consent, tried to
do certain things collectively, in
the belief that we could not do
them Individually, or at least
could not do them with relative
ease and expedition. We have, in
short, helped to create a nation
state to which we belong and to
which we subscribe. That is po-
litical citizenship.
In this moral and political
structure we hold that we have
inviolable rights as individuals.
We enjoy what we call our basic
freedoms, which are actually the
mark of our own willingness and

Dear Nelghb0r:
The second session of the Eighty
Second Congress is underway.
This session, which will consider
Universal Military Training, price
controls, staggering 80 billion dol

other vitality important issues, will
experience larger share of party
politics than usual, inasmuch as
this is presidential election year.
Congress has great resonsibi-
lily to conduct its pOatical fights
in a manner that does not harm the
national interest. AS the President
said the other day, when every
thing is said and done, all of us :
Republicans and Democrats alike
all of us are Americans, and We.
are all going to sink or swim to-

in others. With reference to dom
este issues and the fair deal pro-
gram, Mr. Truman failed TO pour

WOULD BE FORCED TO
REDUCE CONTRIBUTION
TO ARMS BUTLDUp

WASHINGTON lP-DoIlar-Short
Britain is being given an cmer-
gency 800 million dollar slice Of
mutual security funds to prevent
a threatened cutback of its defense
effort.
The grant was announced Mon.
day night by Mutual Security Di-
rector W. Averell Hartman, who
said that without il Britain would
be forced to reduce its contribu-
ton to the Western arms buildup
by twice as much.
The money will be used up to
July to buy raw materials and
componentS' which have to be paid
for in dollars. The purchases will
be made largely in the United
States.
Congress made no specific pro-
visions for aid to Britain in the
new 1928, 9O3, 976 arms aid legiS-
lation, although authorizing an
emergency transfer
The action came less than two
weeks after Prime Minister
Churchill assured Congress Il
have not come here to ask you
for money"
Actually, Hartman disclosed,
negotiations for assistance were in
progress before Churchill sailed
for the U. S.
Except for an assist OF some 40
million dollars last month, the aid
was the first extended the British
since Britain voluntarily waived
further Marshall Plan help more
than a year ago. That was when
things were looking up and British
dollar reserves were rising.
However, in the last half of 1851,
Hartman said. "a very serious
drain" reduced the reserves by
