America has come a Jong way . . . from the
log cabin to the skyscraper. . . from the cov
ered wagon to the jet plane . . . from the
hand pjow to atomic energy.
The road has never beep easy, but it has
always been clearly marked . . . its mile
stones, the basic rights on which this na
tion was founded and by which it has lived
and grown strong. The right of every man
to determine for himself, the course his life
shall follow. The right to choose his own
work or to build his own business. The
right to go as far a his own ability will take
him in the direction of his choosing . . . the
right to compete freely with his fellows in
the achievement of his objective.
It is these r i g h t s that spur each man to
create and produce to the I i mi ts of his
capacity . . . that prompt each business to
give its customers more for less. It is these
rights that have made America's might the
wonder of the. modern world.
With pride, America looks to its past.
With confidence, it looks to 1955 and all
the years ahead. Holding resolutely to a
way of life so critically tested, so conclu
sively proved . . . we shall continue our
forward march to a better life for all.
