I Am An American!
XAHAT does it mean to be an American citizen?
t V On May 18 millions of men and women in the United
States will be thinkintr about that. The day has been set
apart by congress as "I am an American Day," honoring
especially those who have attained full citizenship dur
ing the past year either by having become 21 years old if
native born, or by naturalization if born elsewhere.
But every American ought to think about it, too, in
these days when to be an American is a precious privilege.
What is it, to be an American?
It is to be free man or a free woman in a free land.
It is to walk unafraid, fearing; no one. secure in the
knowledge that before the people' laws all are equal.
It i to think, and read, to speak and write freely; to
leek the truth without hindrance; to breathe the air of
a great, free land that (till belong to the people who
inhabit it.
It is to be governed under a constitution adopted by
the people, which they may change at will, and under
law passed and administered by public servants elected
by the peoole. It is to have a vote in these things equal
to any man's vote.
It is to look one's neighbor in the face, be he rich or
poor, and to know oneself a good a man as he.
It is to worshio whatever God one finds in the heart,
and to worship Him as conscience dictate.
It is to bow to no authority but those which the people
themselves have ordained and maintain.
It is to grant freely to fellow-American all rights and
privileges one asks for oneself, and to expect as much
from them.
. It i to keep for oneself certain corners of the mind,
certain phases of intimate and personal life, secure
against a state to which the people themselves have
aid "Keep Out!"
To be an American? It is to be a man. or a woman,
before men and before Cod. with the dignity which God
breathed into man when He made him "only a little
lower than the angels, and crowned him with glory

Congressman Cox said he
wanted tu freeze Mr. Stettinius In

The Cox amendment was de
signed to give Mr. Steltinius in

trievable presidential executive
order. That was what Mr. Cox
told the house when his amend

to the Vinson bill.
Ho did not need to tell the
house a bigger and better rea
son why this should be done.
In the corridors nearly every
one had heard how the defense

had ioslallcd a man in the Stct

the priorities, dealing with civil

before the vote implying that
