LOVE OF LIBERTY
BUREAUCRATIC PENETRATION. If ever American citizens lose their liberty, it will not be through tiny of the dreaded foreign “isms." The love of individual liberty is too deeply in-, grained in the American make-up. says a Washington State newspaper. We Americans have sung "sweet land o' liberty,” too long, and although there is clanger of overlooking lhe meaning of the words we sing, a challenge to that liberty will awaken most of us. The American child brought up on q history which emphasises Patrick Henry's declaration that he would rather have death than life without liberty would find it. well-nigh impossible to goose step and “heil." loud and blindly and stupidly, to just a mere man as if he were a god. If wo lose our liberty in America, it will be through the stealthy creeping in upon, our rights of those bureaucracies which we establish, for our own "supposed good.”
