On May 18 millions of men and women in the United States will oe thinking about that. The day has been set apart by Congress as "I am an American Day" honoring: especially those who have attained full citizenship during the past year either by having: become 21 years old if native born, or by naturalization if born elsewhere. But every American ought to think aboutit, too, in these days when to !e an American is a precious privilege. What is it, to be an American? It is lo be a free man or a free woman in a free land. It is to walk unafraid, fearing no one, secure in the knowledge that before the people's laws all are equal. It is to think, and read, to speak and write freely; to seek the truth without hindrance; to breathe the air of a great, free land that still belongs to the people who inhabit in-habit it. It is to be governed under a constitution adopted by the people, which they may change at will, and under laws passed and administered by public servants elected by the people. It is to have a vote in these things equal to any man's vote. It is to look one's neighbor in the face, be he rich or poor, and to know oneself as good a man as he. It is to worship whatever, God one finds in the heart, and to worship Him as conscience dictates. It is to bow to no authority but those which the people peo-ple themselves have ordained and maintain. It is to grant freely to fellow-Americans all rights and privileges one asks for oneself, and to expect as much from them. It is to keep for oneself certain corners of the mind, certain phases of intimate and personal life, secure against a state to which the people themselves have said "Keep Out!" To be an American? It is to be a man, or a woman, before men and before God, with the dignity which God breathed into man' when He made him "only a little lower than the angels, and crowned him with glory and honor." . That is what it is to be an American; That is what we celebrate on May 18. That is the ideal to which wc dedicate ourselves. Where we have fallen short, of it. and the instances are many, that is the measure of our failure to achieve in full the task we have set ourselves, the most glorious task a people peo-ple ever undertook. Our failures as well as our successes are our own. We -taktrhrm to-onrsclvesranil looking at them squarely, each of us can yet say with pride, "I am an American!" Spanish Resistance Ramon Serrano Suner, Franco's L foreign minister in Spain, doesn't like the United States or any free democratic country. If? is proud, however, of the Franco government's defense of Spin from outside influences. "Just a3 on May 2, 1803, Spain did not request to become French; similarly on July 18, 193G, Spain did not want to become either Russian or British," he said in a 'recent speech. - Proud words, and it will be interesting to see how strong-, ly and how effectively Franco Spain defends itself in 1941 from becoming German. He might ask the Italians how they re doing. . ; .... - - VV-V - - . "f :r.:- I . J , " ."::.,;.:' Concerning That Flight OUT OUR WAY r ..

CARROLL I was thinking- that the President's Presi-dent's proclamation of an "I Am an American Day" svnould result in a wave of deep and genuine patriotism sweeping over the land of our democracy. We may ask why dp we need a reminder of such an obvious fact ? But it is true that definite reminders of significant facts point up the importance im-portance of those facts and intensify inten-sify our feelings regarding them. That is why we have Sunday, Christmas, the Fourth of July, Mother's day, and innumerable other special days. Sometimes these reminders come to us quite, by accident and have the same result as these specially planned observances. I shall never forget an incident which made me realize suddenly and .more intensely than ever be- fory that I am an American. was in Europe. A dream of lyfifT years was being lived as an actuality. I was seeing the things doing the things I had longed to see and do. It seemed that the clays and weeks couldn't be long enough in which to crowd all I wanted this trip to give to me Homesickness was the farthest thing from my mind. I was reveling rev-eling in being far from home really seeing the parts of the world and the peoples of whom I had only read. But one day, as I was walking happily and leisurely along a foreign for-eign street, my eye caught the sight of an American flag fluttering flut-tering from the top of a building far down the street. All at once I realized that I was running as fast as I could toward that flag, weeping, sobbing with an ecstacy I had never felt before. That joy was the I am an American gratitude grati-tude intensified by distance and QUITTERS C&PP. 141 BY Wt - experiences which had made me realize in a subconscious way how wonderful my own country is in comparison with other lands of the earth. I had the same glorious thrill again when I caught my first sight of the Statue of Liber ty on my return home. . My trip abroad made me value more than ever before the great things in other countries, many of them now, also, being demolishedthe demol-ishedthe priceless art treasures in the galleries and museums, the marvels of architecture, the century-old traditions (some of which are the foundations of our own civilizations), the natural grandeurs gran-deurs but it made me also love and appreciate more than I had ever done before, my own United States. That experience somehow . for me brought our flag to life. Now the flag says to me many of the things Franklin K.-Lane records in his "Makers of the Flag," that it says to him; VThen came a great shout from The Flag: . . ; T am whatever you make me, nothing more... r .? - y,-t I am your belief in yourself, your dream of what a People jnay become ...

But always I am' all that you hope to be, and have courage to try for. I am song and fear, struggle and panic, and ennobling , hope. ; I am the days work of the weakest weak-est man, and the largest dream of" the most daring. I am . the Constitution and the courts, statutes and statute makers, soldier' and .dread-naught, .dread-naught, drayman and street ! sweep, cook, counselor and ' clerk.

I swing before your eyes as a bright gleam of color, a sym- bol of yourself, the pictured suggestion of that big thing which makes a nation. My stats and my stripes are your dreams and your labors. They are bright with cheer, bnl-. bnl-. liant witn courage, firm With faith, because you have made them so out of your hearts. For you are the makers of the flag, and it iswell that you glory in the making"."
