UNFTEI0—One Nation indivisible yA S THE scythe whips through the brittle stalks of waving grain yet /jA could never cut through a banded sheaf 9 so the sweep of mech- anized aggression has thrown into slavery and hunger one dis united victim at a time* The lesson is clear. To the Machiavellian strategy of “divide and rule,” our people must present a real UNITED States, a chain of strength in which each link is equally sound, equally secure. • Our testing hour is at hand. ‘‘United we stand, divided we fall.” “One nation, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all.” These have been more than slogans in our nation’s history. They have been rules of action and patriotic conduct. They guided Thomas Jefferson, apostle of Democracy, and Patrick Henry, who preferred Liberty to life itself, in their UNITED acceptance of a Constitution they felt then was inadequate, and whose adoption they had opposed. They buried their personal wishes so that this country could start UNITED. r They guided Alexander Hamilton to accomplish the election of Thomas Jefferson, whose philosophy he hated, rather than turn the country over to the disintegrating schemes and perils of an Aaron Burr* They guided Samuel J. Tilden, when in the face of a supposed victory he gave up his claim to the presidency, rather than risk perilous disunion in his country. He sacrificed party and personal ambition to the national welfare. e 9 * They guided the unnumbered thousands of selfless patriots who marched through the Valley of the Shadow from Valley Forge to Chateau-Thierry, and they stand as signposts for our UNITED lads in khaki today prepared for America’s defense. / / Behind us is a great heritage of patriotism and unity. Let us not forget it today. Let us heed it tomorrow. Let us live with it in our hearts, and die, if need be, with it on our lips—“One country, one people,'rising above petty party differences, rising above religious intolerances, rising above labor and industrial antagonisms, one nation, the UNITED States of America.” <+ Let us face our future realistically. The spirit of ’76 must be preserved. In a UNITED States of America lies our greatest defense, our only security in maintaining “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” These sentiments are presented to your attention by the cooperation of the foltomina C HUGULEY’S STORE General Merchandise We Accept Cotton Stamps.
