Patriotism

When an American says
he loves his country,. he
means not only that'he loves
the New England hills, the
prairies glistening in the
sun, or the wide rising
plains, the mountains, and
the seas. He means that he
loves an inner air, an inner
light in which freedom lives
and in which a man can
draw the breath of self-re-
spect.—Adalai E. Stevenson

races polled. Some of

cluded Dorothea. Becker,

the 19th District, Rep.
Richard VanderVeen
(R-Grand Rapids), and

(R-
Pursell
Carl
Plymouth) who is . run-
ning for Esch's seat in the
Ann Arbor area.
Incumbent Democrats
James Blapchard (18th
District) and William
Brodhead (17th District)
aswered yes on all 12 ques-
tions in the survey. James
Burdick, Brodhead's Re-
publican opponent, re-
sponded favorably on all

one calling for the im-
mediate switch of the U.S.
Embassy from Tel, Aviv to
Jerusalem, to which he
said he was not prepared
to take a position. at this
time.

Broomfield (R-19th Dis-
trict) pointed to his
strong record in support
of Israel as the ranking
minority member an the

lations Committee and in
a general statement re-
sponded favorably to
most of the questions.
Michigan Senate hope-
fuls Marvin Esch (Repub-
lican) and Donald Riegel
(Democrat) also re-
sponded to the question-
naire.
\- Riegle answered
yes to all the questions
except 'moving the U.S.
EmbasSy, to which he re-
plied, "The shifting of the -
U.S. Embassy should not
be permitted to interfere
with the struggle for a
-complete and just solu-
tion . . . The U.S. can not
afford a reduction in its
credibility among all the
nations of the region."
Esch replied with a
pre-written statement on
the Middle East and Is-
rael which did not re-
spond to five of the ques-
tions. He thought any
threat to Israel at the UN
should be met by the
withholding or reduction
of TJ.S. financial support
_to the UN; while Riegle
said such a move must be
met "with all the political
and moral force the U.S.
can command . . ." •
On the questiOn of with-
holding the sale of U.S.
weapons to Arab countries
- until they recognize Is-
rael, Esch- said, "I am con-
cerned about the inconsis-
tency of. discriminately
