A Veterans' Day Mesage ... (Continued From Page 1) vigilance, must be the price of liberty. Men home to celebrate must fight again, and fight they did. Four lay dead when darkness fell. They were home and they were dead. But the Big Idea lived on. A year, a state away. Anaconda. Montana: More rebel rabble sought to sabotage the American victory. They burned forests, threatened workers on the rivers, in the mines. Our third-greatest state in size had but a handful of police. But the fight was won and the job was done by the Silver Bow- Post of the American Legion. In the twenties, the Legion closed ranks on homefront prob lems. And in the thirties, the lean times, stayed in step. The forties — other warlords threatened — and something hap pened. Legion conventions had been fun; the part that showed. Tin hats, glistening bayonets, banners, uniforms bulging at the waist. Tipperary, Parlez Vous, Where’s Elmer? . . . and blistered feet. And water bombs and electric canes and four-dimension hang overs. Suddenly the celebrating of 1 past accomplishments was over. i Almost all at once a looking- back. laughing Legion — about- faced to the future . .. And grew up. Another war. Americans again shoulder-to-shoulder. From the slit trenches of Italy to the fox holes of the Philippines, United States of Americans fought for the Big Idea: For God and Coun try. Then another war’s end. Yet, as the soldiers racked their guns, the Legion’s work was just be gun . . . For there were those who would subvert our victory. Red infil - traitors sought to sabotage the Big Idea, both God and Country. A lean young trai tor was walking out of our Su preme Court building with two character references and state secrets in his briefcase. The Legion counter - attacked. At first, almost alone. Today, American doughboys of another war want to get it over and get home. Their beef today is wars that are neither hot nor cold—American blood on a mon grel flag— Two thousand miles away they must die to repel communism. Ninety miles away we don't dare. Our arms are mostly strong; our hearts are weak. And the Big Idea was born to live or die in the hearts of men Where did we get off the track? Look back. It was the day we first began the drift away from reverence to God and loyalty to Country. God. already evicted from the classroom, may soon be ex cluded from the Courthouse, next from the Houses of Con gress. then from his own Chur ches. One Country— Patriotism has been supplanted with a hybrid allegiance to an unworthy super government. Preachers and professors join enemy agents and hooligan stu dents subverting the international posture of our Country, openly inciting disregard for the domes tic laws of our Country.

Adrian Ends Season By Defeating Wilder Urging B i g Government to force-feed the poor and force bleed the rest . . . Demanding B i g Government administer their charity and pre scribe their medicine and buy their insurance and get them a job — and even pay them for not working at all . . . And for these increasing ser vices. paying with increasing numbers of cheaper dollars through an indirect system so complicated we have to hire tax accountants io compute how much. In the short lifetime of this one Congress, we have seen gargan tuan Federal Government veto state and individual prerogatives in areas of voting, education, em ployment, welfare, wage rates | and highway billboards . . . We have watched Congress yield to the President all that he asked and more than he wanted, injecting Uncle Sam’s authority deeper into labor relations, in surance, previously private busi nesses—and even prize fighting. As Government assumes re sponsibility for our daily bread, Government becomes our reli- gion. And history’s graveyard overflows with those. If we would live — it is your formula which must become ours again. And if we would lead, as Teddy Roosevelt said, we must lead — by example. So here, today, re - dedicate this Legion—for God and Coun try. A* the pilgrims carried rifles to the church, stand guard now others at its open door — for God and Country. As the diluted patriotism of our people spawns all manner of intra-mural internecine strife . . . show us again the idea that's bigger than us. It won’t be all fun or all easy; | it never was. Now, as forty-five, thirty and fifteen years ago . . . your Legion is criticized because it will not compromise with its Big Idea. So be it! Today, on every weak flank j through which freedom might I escape us, temple guard — stand watch! No, now you see that this was never meant to be the story of young Teddy Roosevelt or War- ren Grimm or Bennett Clark or Wild Bill Donovan. This is the story of something worth dying for — worth work ing at. This is the story of the Big Idea — The American Legion — an association for God and Country. . Look out, you enemies of these — there's courage here we haven't even used yet. Three million men are closing ranks again . . . Three million time - proved keepers of the flame!
