Have you read the immortal Soc rates. Plato.and Aristotle'’ Shall we bury their names in the libraries? Washington has never been re garded as such ap intellectual as Thomas Jeffefiwn or James Madi- son : . but he was a man of such rare judgment, human wisdom, that w hen he spoke his words were the essence of sound common sense * Washington, w ith marvelous in 'sight, warned us against entangle ment alliances. We have forgotten all his admonitions and are today embroiled all over the world. Thinking of Washington l want to use an expression of his which I've ! always enjoyed It was remarkable for its suave diplomacy and gra-1 ciousness. He was asked his esti-1 mate of two gentlemen. His reply was, ‘Those two gentlemen do mu tually surpass each other." That we may recall Abraham Lincoln’s references. ‘This Nation under God." In the- Prov idence of Jehovah He requires us to use our brains and resources, but He is the same Om nipotent Spirit that smote the vast Assyrian host with lightning when the servant of Elisha saw only im- , ;iending doom before the inv incible 1 might of Sennacherib.

How have these things come to pass? Why have we allowed our freedom to be whittled away in this fashion'’ The basic cause is that too many Americans have last a fear that is necessary for the preservation of our liberties. ^ , Iwyath teldide ithtaith eldfuhfvco This was the fear that inspired the founders of our nation, the au thors of our Constitutin. Our en tire constitutional system is an im plied restriction upon the power of our American government. And by no means are all the restrictions implied. The Constitution contains a long list of specific and positive pro hibitions against possible exercises of stipulated governmental powers. The .Constitution is largely a Thou >halt not - document, and the Founding Fathers made it that way withe deliberate purpse. They recog nized that unlimited government must be contained, controlled, and carefully watched at all times. In the Constitution, therefore, they were at pains to set up stated safe guards of liberty. They placed the legislative, ex ecutive and judicial powers in dis tinctly separate bodies of public ser vants. w hose defined powers and du ties would compel them to check and balance one another Np un controlled power was given to any one group. Our Constitution grants the nation al government only such powers as are absolutely necessary for the discharge of purely national func tions—functions of a kind that could not be carried out by the states, act ing either separately or through in terstate compacts. By retaining Thursday, August 25, 1960 large powers in the states, the I ment upon the liberties of the peo- founding fathers intended to erect pie by an all-powerful central gov- a further barrier against encroach-1 ernment.
