On Independence Day, we also keep in view the admonition of Abraham Lincoln: "Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves, and, under a just God, cannot long retain it." • • • On this sacred day we call for solemn re-dedication to action, as inscribed on the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia, quoting the Bible—Leviticus 25:10: "Proclaim liberty throughout the land, unto all the inhabitants thereof." * * * * There still are intolerable bigots in our midst—men who call themselves Americans, yet who would desecrate our heritage by linking it with the Nazi equivalent for barbarism. They seek the right to advocate murder and tyranny, and thereby to deprive others of the right to freedom. • • • On Independence Day, this type of tyranny will surely be rejected by all Americans, who proclaim anew the basic ideals that are the foundation of our great Republic. * • On Independence Day we adopt the slogan of John Adams: "Independence now and forever." *********************************
