Page 1 83 S ' i We believe in God. We believe in fhe personal dignity of man. We believe that man has certain rights which come from God and not from the State. We therefore are opposed to all forms of dictatorship holding that the total man (totalitarianism) belongs to the State. We believe in the sanctity of the home — the basic unit of society. We believe in the natural right of private property, but likewise that private property has its social obligations. We believe that Labor has not only its rights but also obligations. We believe that Capital has not only its rights but also obligations. We are vigorously opposed to all forms of racism — persecution or intolerance because of race. We believe that liberty is a sacred thing, but that law, which regulates liberty, is a sacred obligation. We believe in inculcating all the essential liberties of American Democracy and take open and frank issue with all brands of spurious democracy . We believe, briefly, in the teachings of Christ, who held that morality must regulate the personal, family, economic, political and international life of men if civilization is to endure.
