Show - The Service Incumbent Upon Lawyers Is Primarily One of Education By R. E. L. SANER, President American Bar Association. It is stated on competent authority that there are 1,500,000 radicals In this country who are clamoring for a change in the nature of our government from its present form to one of various degrees of communistic com-munistic state. It is said there are 400 newspapers and periodicals that represent similar views, and that are read regularly by 5,000,000 people. It is also said that $3,000,000 was spent during the past year in behalf of "red" propaganda. , We submit that the time has come when members of the bar should bestir themselves in a unified effort to meet this challenge. Such unified activity has, as a matter of fact, been already too long delayed. Tho schools of America should no more consider graduating a student stu-dent who lacks faith in our government than a school of theology should graduate a minister who lacks faith in God. It should be borne in mind that the service which is incumbent upon ub is primarily Tie of education. |
