“MY COUNTRY 'TiS OF
THEE!”
The following is the text of the Pul-
itzer prize editorial written by R. G.
Callvert of the “Portland Oregonian,”
as it appeared in that paper October
2, 1938:
“In this land of ours, this America,
the man we choose as leader dons at
no time uniform or insigna to denote
his constitutional position as command-
er in chief of armed forces. No mem-
ber of his cabinet, no civil subordinate
ever attires himself in garments sig-
nificant of military power.
In this land of ours, this America,
the average citizen sees so little of the
army that he has not learned to dis-
tinguish between a major and a lieu-
tenant from his shoulder straps. When
the Chief Executive addresses his fel-
low countrymen they gather about
him within hand clasp distance. Goose
stepping regiments are not paraded
before him. When he speaks to the ci-
vilian population it is not over rank
upon rank of helmeted heads.
In this lan dof ours, this America,
there is no tramp of military boots to
entertain the visiting statesmen. There
is no effort to affright him with dis-
play of mobile cannon or of facility
for mass production of aerial bombers.
In this land of ours, this America, |
there is no fortification along the sev-|
eral thousand miles of the northern
border. In the great fresh water seas
that partly separate it from another!
dominion, no naval craft plies the wa-
ters. Along its southern borders there
are no forts, no show of martial stren-

In this land of ours, this Amercia,
no youth is conscripted to labor on de-
vices of defense; military training he
| may take or leave at option. There is
| no armed force consitent with a policy
| of agression. The Navy is built against
no menace from the Western Hemis-
phere, but wholly for defense against
that which may threaten from Europe
or Asia.
In this land of ours, this Amercia,
| one third of the population is foreign
born, or native born of foreign or
mixed parentage. Our numerous ‘“min- |
orities come from fourteen nations. |
The native born, whatever his descent
has all political and other rights pos- |
sessed by him who traces his ancestry
to the founding fathers. The foreign
born of races that are assimilable are
admitted to all these privileges if they
want them. We have “minorities” but
no minority problem.
In this land of ours, this America,
the common citizen may criticize,
without restraint the policies of his
government or the aims of the chief
executive. He may vote as his judg-
ment or his conscience advises and not
as a ruler dictates.
In this land of ‘ours, this America,
our songs are dedicated to love and
romance, the blue of the night, sails |
in the sunset, and not to might or to |
martyrdom to political cause. Our na-!
tional anthem has martial words, diff-
, cult air. But if you want to hear the
| organ roll give the people its compan- |
ion “America . . . of thee I sing.” In|
lighter patriotism we are nationally |
cosmopolitan. Unitedly we sing of Dix-|
ie or of Ioway, where the tall corn
grows, of Springtime in the Rockies,
or of California,.here I come. |
In this land of ours, this America, |
there is not a bomb-proof shelter, and
a gas mask is a curiosity. It is not
needed that we teach our children
where to run when death-hawks dark-
en the sky.
In this land of ours, this America,
our troubles, present or prospective, |
come from within—come from our own
mistakes, and injure us alone. Our
| pledges of peace toward our neighbors
are stronger tnan ruler’s promise, or
written treaty. We guarantee them by |
| devoting our resources, greater than
the resources of any nation, to upbuild-
| ing the industries of peace. We strut
no armed might that could be ours.
We cause no nation in our half of the
| world to fear us. None does fear us
nor arm against us.
In this land of ours, this America,
we have illuminated the true road to
permanent peace. But that is not the
sole moral sought herein to be drawn.
Rather it is that the blessings of lib-
erty and equality and peace that have
| been herein recounted are possessed
| nowhere in the same measure in Eu-
rope or Asia and wane or disappear as
one nears or enters a land of dictator- |
ship of whatever brand. This liberty,
this equality, this peace, are imbed- |
ded in the American form of govern-
ment. We shall never retain them if
| foreign isms that would dig them out!
and destroy them are barred from our
shores.
If you cherish this liberty, this eg-
' uality, this peace that is peace mater-
| on the mountain top. A great deal of
