President Roosevelt told his press
conference he still hopes the 11 S.
can stay out o f the world conflict
His statement was made in answer
to a reporter’s question if changing
situations had caused the President
to alter his belief stated in 1931» that
the U. S. could and would stay out
o f the world war.
Navy secretary Knox told his pres,
conference reports that navy vessels
were engaged in convoy duty were
‘‘absolutely untrue’’ and said report,
that the navy had lost lives, material
and equipment or had been involved
in any encounter with belligerent
craft were “ ‘most decidedly” not
true.
OPM director Knudson issued a
statement urging greater defense ef
forts and said “ nothing could be fur
ther from the truth” that Russia’s
entry Into the war had averted dan
ger to this country. Mr. Knudson said
“ we are in somewhat better shape
titan we were last summer but we
need the spark o f enthusiasm, yes of
patriotism, to carry the program for
ward faster” .

PATRIOTISM A R O U S E D
The re-dedication of this nation io
liberty as carried out on the Fourtlr
of July is believed to have done more
toward uniting our people than any
thing that has been attempted since
the war in Europe started.
On the ai'te noon o f the Fourth
when the strains of the Star Spangled
Banner were heard thruout all the
land at tile same moment, being play,
•d by town orchestras and bunds as
well as over every radio station,, Am
ericanism seemed to bloom
it had
never bloomed before.
Our nutin .al anthem once again
proved its power to in. pile our love
o f country, to make us fairly tingle
with patriotism and to make all of
our petty p.oblcms seem to melt
away in the fate of our major task
o f safeguarding everything that Am
erica stands.
When our patriotism can be arous
ed to such a pitch as it was in mil
lions of ironies on the Fourth o f July

a hidden longing fur more opportun-

try have been confined largely to
school rooms. In the schools the sing

ring allegiance to the flag are com
mon practice but for tire rest o f us
the chance to do this have been far
too few.
From now on with the Fourth of
July celebration as an example of
what can be done we hope thel at ev
ery public gut!, ring America.is will
be given an o| portunity to give vent
