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

UNION—Preteetlon
Like Tom Paine, another American
has written a book which some
thoughtful men are comparing wlffi
Tom Paine’s “Common Sense;’’ His.
name is Clarence K. 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.
