answer this question: do those priceless philosophies still prevail? ***

Personally, I still believe in those philosophies; believe in them just as firmly as when I was a kid in school, and first heard and read the inspired words of Washington, and Jefferson, and Patrick Henry, in their discussions of Americanism; in their complete condemnation of foreign alliances and entanglements. Which is why, in this era of purposeless mediocrity, I resent all the printed and spoken chatter about new ideals, new horizons, new frontiers, and the septic sea of slop concerning one-worldism in place of old-fashioned Americanism. To me all this guff about needing to rebuild our national structure along international lines and on newer and different foundations, is compounded heresy and blasphemy.

>F*!t rf you firmly believe ;".:" i... ,r".ior,.l relationships with the rest of the world rve are standing on a powder mine and monkeying with a lighted matchsay so !

Yes, personally I'm waiting for the return of those "good old days" that the mealy-mouthed do-gooders and internationalists try so hard to discredit; the good old days with all that they meant. They were good enough for me, and they can't come back too soon to suit me. And my contacts prove to me that most good folks in this country feel the same way.

I mean the good ofa aJy" * an. tnd-rashioned American; a man who stood on his own feet, earned his own living without petitioning the government for help; who provided for his own future, looked after his own people, was beholden to neither government, man, or devil for his support; who accepted neither largesse, gifts, subsidies, or special privileges from anybody. He believed, just as most men did before the New and Fair Deals came along, that man gets along'in this world not by an act of Congress, but by his own industry, character, ability, perseverance, ambition, stick-to-itiveness, and courageous love of liberty, and that all government is for is to provide a protective framework in which he can live, and work, and produce, and achieve the things he longs for. That is the old-fashioned American ! Thank God for him, for it was such as he that built this nation and made it what'it is. Could such a man be a "one-worlder," do you think? Yes-about as much as a Washington, a Jefferson, or a Lincoln could !

Wrote Dante: "The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who, in a period of moral crisis, maintain their neutrality." We are now, according to every worth-while opinion, in a period of moral crisis, such as this country has seldom known. Probably the greatest need of this nation today is free and open expression of opinion by honest men with no axes to grind, on subjects vital to us. It is no time for me-too'ism, for that is the road to despair. Speak your mind ! Write your op,inions ! Be an articulate as well as an old-fashioned American, and protest until the heavens fall against the things you believe to be wrong for these United States. Supine or even apparent agreement with things we abhor is the broad highway to slavery.

If you are tired of the presumptuous mendicancy of the Old World and the seemingly bottomless maw into which we have been pouring our tax moneysay so !

If you believe in an America for Americans; if you would like to see every subversive either locked up or kicked so far away from our borders that it would cost a fortune just to mail a postal card back; if you would see that oldfashioned Americanism and nothing else is allowed to lift its head in our schools and collegessay so ! ***

Say so, and say it loud, and often ! Lincoln warned that if this nation ever dies; it wiil die from within and not from without. If this nation ever dies, it will be because her good citizens lacked alertness.

And so todaywhich may well be our most fateful dayas we stand on the brink of another Korea in far-off Asiaon the brink of what could be l'permanent war," let us each and every one, with all the understanding of what Americanism means that God gives us, decide for ourselves and declare to our servants in Washington our firm opinions of what should and should not be done to preserve this nation.
