LINCOLN AND WASHINGTON:
SUPREME NATIONALIST
Mirrored in the waters of the Po
tomac is the most beautiful shrine
ever erected in the memory of a man,
soon to be dedicated in honor of
Abraham Lincoln.
But the memorial to Lincoln which
overshadows all others in magnific
ence In the mighty republic he saved
from dismemberment. Pitting it is
that the shrine of Lincoln should
stand between tho white shaft reared
in commemoration of Washington,
tho founder of the republic, and the
stream misguided American« would
have made the boundary line of con
tending nations rather than a bond
of union between North and South.
Lincoln and Washigton stand forth
in history as the supreme exponents
of American nationalism. But for
them we could not have established
and maintained upon this continent
the type of civilization we describe In
tho word "Americanism.”
Washington's sword and Washing-
ton’i: wisdom cut us loose from Kuro-
peanism. Those who are preaching in
American to European ideals and in-
American today tho subordination of
interests would undo the work of
Washington and his great associates
in hte work of winning and perpetual
in£ American independence.
But for the success of Lincoln in
defeating disunion, the work of
Washington would have been in vain
The division of the United States
into two hostile nations, followed
doubtless by further divisions, would
have established In this continent the
same system which has for centuries
kept and long will keen Europe an
armed camp.
If Washington had failed America
would have remained a European de.
pendency, inextricably involved in
the European system. The wars of
J tircne would have been our wars,
as they were In colonial days. We
would havo been sufficiently subod-
dlnate to Europe, politically and
economically, to satisfy the most ar
dent of our present day International
ists.
If Lincoln had failed, we would
have had two, five, perhaps a dozen
petty states within the territory now
under the Jurisdiction of the Ameri
can government. These states would
have been played, one against an
other, by the more powerful and sub-
lie European powers, nnd with the
power of the United States with
drawn from the Monroe doctrine,
both the northern and southern
American continents would have been
ns much a field of European Intrigue
as the Balkuns were before the world
war, nnd with much the same result.
Washington and Lincoln were In
tense American 'nationalists. They
believed that the Unted States of
America had n destiny Independent
of that of Europe. They believed
that the Europcnn and American sys
tems of government, the European
drastic measure ever drawn up to
combat the Japanese Evil which lx

Statee. according to announcements
from Department Headquarters. Due
to the fact that Washington and Cal
ifornia have laws which purcially
handle the situation, the influx of

and early action is necessary.
