Memo ‘for ifr. Nichols -2e- : Novenber 17, 1942
courage in derense of truth, Justice, charity and peace, the four
words that frequently recur #n @ll Papal pronouncements... Only
by respecting the mutual rishts of others can we insure the
precious herita,e of our civil liberties to the Americans of
centuries yet to be... Today there are Americans who protect
themselves with the flac of our country for the purpose of de~
atroying that for which #t stands, who stretch the wings of the
American Eacle to break them."
"anerica's morale draws its strength not alone from
natural courage but also from a just cause and a just God... SO
I say let us try religion, let us try religious living and let
us try tt on ourselves. Jt ta not enough for us to wish and to
expect our neichbor to love God and keep His commandments, We
must first look to ourselves... Some countries have been de-
Btroyed by fifth columns and Projon horses and America has
eentipede columns and whole stables of Trojan horses. Against
trem we must be on cuard for the fight for freedom is never
permanently won. fo maintain freedom in America we must respect
the rights of others to freedom. But, we must not crant so much
freedom to others thet they ensiave us and destroy our beloved
country."
Respectfully,
