with slight British accent.

described the problem as it now
stands, the different kinds of poisons,
the chances of success. He was
crouched in the back of his Jeep

will be able to focus the best men

no country can endure. From the moment a child enters school
he is made aware of his patriotic heritage. LOVE OF COUN-

there, like the unborn seed, to be nurtured and gently stimu-
lated until it develops into a deep passion, indesuuctible, a
rich emotion shared by all AMERICANS. The young pupil
and future citizen proudly pledges allegiance to his flag and
grows up loving the emblem Of the country he believes to be
the most wonderful in the whole wide world. His little boys
heart beats wildly whenever he sees the colors flying. His
ewes shine and his little feet march whenever he hears the
national anthem that somehow imparts an inspiring
message to him, and as he becomes older he vows to do
everything possible to preserve the LAND OF THE FREE.
There are millions like him, PATRIOTS who will light for
their country, men and women who are ready to lie, cheat,
