Description
Independence Day most significant of national holidays not only in U.S. but in other American republics; in recent years most Americans have considered dearly bought freedom as inheritance and unchallenged right; now independence is menaced as never before and struggle must continue to maintain freedom; patriots under leadership of Washington, Hidalgo, Bolivar, San Martin, and other liberators of the Americas little realized that in a little more than a century and a half their descendants would have to fight another great war for independence; Independence Day has in past been day of rejoicing and celebration; today it is one of solemn determination and consecration.
