DEDICATION Endless opportunity, equolity under the low, belief thct the government should be derived from the just consent of the governed, belief in the dignity of mon. These ore not just words. For us, the people of Amerlico, they ere everydey realities, and we live them every day of our lives. Freedom to follow any kind of enterprise, freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of education and freedom to use that educatiori to moke a better ife—these ore endless opportunity.' The principle thot a man is innocent until proved guilty, the right to a speedy trial—these ore equclity under the law. Our Congress, through which a free people can actually make their own government—thot is belief that the government should be derived from the just consent of the governed. Conviction thot all these freedoms and privileges should be the right of all men, irrespective of race, position, or creed, the hatred of war, the love of peaceful ways—these ore belief in the dignity of man. These are the fundamentals of the American way of life, the very things which make this book possible, and the Pod staff wishes to voice its appreciation by dedicating this Pod to that way of life. Yet, while these beliefs and opportunities are possible n America, there ore many who are without these blessings; it is our hope that out of the struggle, youth will bring freedom and peace to all the world.
