Nobler Americanism, '
Plea of Secretary Lane
Washington, Nov, ,27. Secretary
Lane at a Thanksgiving day service
here spoke for a pledge to Ameri
canism and counselled taking "the
American way at each new turn of
the road."
''We are in a time of depression,
of reaction from exaltation of war
time," said Mr. Lane. "Now the
smaller man who is inside each one
of us has come to the fore, the ego
tistic, self-seeking side, while then
and there we drown out the larger,
nobler man who always walks with
us, but is too seldom challenged to
appear.
"This would be a true thanks
giving day if it could be a day of
pledge to the stronger, -prouder
things in us 'which we call our
Americanism. As Edward Everett
Hale used to pray, 'teach us to know
that we are sons of the living God,'
so I would pray also that we might
know that we are sons of a living
America."
