TANDS the most powerful nation on the face
of the world . . . powerful because of its
130,000,000 happy, unified, liberty-loving
citizens . . . and powerful because of its
infinite capacity to produce materials to
construct a free, great country.
America boasts not of her capacity to produce goods for
destruction, but stands serene and confident in this hour
of world chaos in the knowledge that should the pro­
ponents of barbarism force her to do so, mankind will
be stunned at the incredible torrent of death-dealing
instruments a peace-loving, tolerant, but aroused people
can fashion to crush the foes of tolerance and liberty.
God grant that our mountains will be undecaying monu­
ments to our priceless heritage . .' . that our boundless
prairies will continue to produce not only our food, but
the nourishment of those soil-rooted virtues which are
threatened with banishment by the frenzied madmen of
another continent. God grant that our great expanse of
oceans will by their very greatness protect us from the
exponents of doctrines that would rob us of our priceless
rights of freedom of speech, freedom of religious worship,
freedom of assembly and freedom for an enlightened press.
We are proud to be part of the first line of defense of
American liberties ... to always stand militantly at the
side of every true American against the inroads of
doctrines seeking to destroy America’s priceless heritage.
The first of a series of patriotic messages sponsored by these stalwart Americans of
