A journalist whom Benjamin Franklin had induced to coma over from England gave the answer. His name was Thomas Paine. He wrote a little book called “Common Sense." The only hope for the colonies, he said, was to unite,and jointly declare their independence of Great Britain. Let them bury their jealousies and form a federal union. Then they might get their freedom. The book was publidied on Janu ary 9, 1778. It brought out into pub-' lie discussion what leaders had been talking in secret. George Washing ton said that Tom Paine’s book “worked a powerful change in the minds of men.’’ The change was so grfflt.1 tot, "iwittii ffli gp^P of rboresentative men met in Inde- pendence hall m Philadelphia an drew up the Declaration of Indepm- grew from the clear reasoning of a thoughtful writer.

Streit and his bo(A is called “Uniwi Now.” Pub lished early last year, it propoeed a fadend union of the world’s democ racies,' as the only permanent way of protecting their liberties against the rising tide of autocratic govern^ ments. A great many thousand copies of "Union Now’’ have been circulated. Clarence Streit believes that when millions have read.it the vision of a union of interdependent nations will beemne a reality. It was not easy to get the thirteen independent states of America to get together under a ok* eight waves. ^ pledge myself to abide by the re-jmary. J.
