l 7 OUR AMERICAN RIGHTS Throughout the entire world today, mil- lions of subjugated people have placed their faith in the United States of America as the symbol of their highest aspirations. For to them. the United States symbolizes the same freedom and individual rights which they have lost. Yet we in America seldom realize the great heritage of liberty which our fore- fathers have entrusted to us. Most of us take for granted those same civil rights which the conqueror has denied the people of Europe. As loyal Americans. we must realize how fortunate we are to have these rights. We must remember that our liberty didn't just happen: it wasn't merely granted to us. Our freedom is the result of centuries of struggle with countless men fighting so that we might enjoy that liberty for which they died. NEVER IDLISI we take our liberty for granted. The basic foundation of our civil rights dates back to medieval Europe in the year 1215. ln that year. the barons of England forced King John to concede certain indivi- dual rights. But still our ancestors did not enjoy the freedom which they desired. They longed so much for religious freedom that they braved the unknown ocean to settle this new continent where they could worship as they might choose. Our forefathers fought and died in the Revolutionary War rather than to submit to the principle of taxation without representation. Despite their strug- gles the founders of our country were still not willing to grant specific rights to the people. A I ,,f They believed that the courts would uphold civil rights. Only after determined demands of the people was there included in our Con- stitution a bill of rights which guaranteed justice to the individual. Our civil rights were still not complete for amendments had to be made to the Constitution to free the slaves and to extend the right of voting to women. In this manner our American rights have developed until today we possess greater freedom than has been won by any other nation on the face of this earth. Seldom do we realize the privileges which we enjoy. We have the right of voting for the officers of our government, while in Germany the right of voting is entirely denied the people. We read the newspapers with complete assurance that there is no govern- ment propaganda in them. but in the dictator- ships every printed word is either heavily censored news or propaganda. Under the Nazi regime. freedom of speech is entirely lacking. In America an accused man is guaranteed the right of a public and speedy trial by an im- partial jury. Contrast this with Hitler's latest demand that he be given the power of life or death over all of his subjects. ln America, we have the privilege of choosing our own religion but under the dictators, all religions are being destroyed. ln countless other ways. the vanquished have been robbed of their civil rights by the invaders. Small wonder is it that in the conquered countries of Europe the defeated still fight on. In Erance. patriots wreck Nazi supply trains and kill German officers: brave Norwegians sabotage supplies and destroy military equip- ment: in Czechoslavakia. munition workers construct shells which will never fire. These courageous men are risking their lives against a merciless enemy in order that they may do their part in regaining liberty. Yet most of us in America take our freedom as a matter of fact. We forget that many people do not enjoy such freedom. lf we are to remain free we must exercise our rights and jealously guard them. We must feel proud of our American liberty and of our forefathers who sacriliced in order that we might be free. Today our liberty is in danger. The out- come of this world struggle will determine if we will remain free. If we fail. America will no longer be the land of the free but only a subjugated protectorate in a Nazi dominated World. If we succeed, not only will we have saved our own freedom but we will have restored freedom to all the people of this earth. Today. all Americans must stand strongly united to fight-work-sacrk lice--save--give-for Freedom. Georqe V. Thom son . P
