federation is an ideal that will not die. More and more people are coming to realize
that peace must be more than an interlude if we are to survive; that peace is
a produce of law and order; that law is essential if the force of arms is not

sovereign public. It is a courageous, patriotic, and effective way to serve our
country. The time to speak out is now.
