As our forefathers stood with their backs to the wall before the onslaughts o f the then po werful British empire, they probably little realized the extent to which their descendants would develop in the field of science and how little those descendants would grow in ability to keep the peace. They probably never realized that at the end of another 200 years, their pro geny would still be fighting to preserve the liberty that was so dearly won at Concord and Valley Forge. History reveals that the British and other- peoples had been fighting for liberty in their own countries for a thousand years, but it was not until the American colonies won their free dom from England that the world began to make some progress in the establishment of democratic forms o f government. The belief that man should be free in his own country to do as he pleases so long as he does not injure someone else is rather well establish ed throughout the world, but some strong lead ers on the globe today still feel that they have a right to dominate the people o f other coun tries. From the fight for individual liberty we have progressed to the gigantic world-wide battle of establishing the right of every country to freedom from oppression. We must still prove to our current dictators and would-be dictators that our belief in free dom must be respected. Let us celebrate while we may, but keep in mind this higher purpose so that we will be ready when the supreme test comes.
