Great Principle "We have never flinched when a great principle was involved," he said. "We are engaged today in the same battle which was begun in 1776. Our own liberty cannot long be saved in a world where despots can strike down liberty, piecemeal, with fire and sword. "We have today a great' opportunity to join with the other free societies to prove that unprovoked aggression does pay. If we sternly teach that lesson in terms of the North Korean adventure, then our own peace will be more secure than ever before.

"But if the free world fails to rally to the support of one of its stricken members then one by one others would be struck down and military despotism, intoxicated bv repeated victories, would lose all sense of restraint." Political Liberty The Independence Day celebration was part of the capital's observance of its 150th anniversary. Dulles returned from Korea only last week and said he saw first hand the new South Korean republic was "a land of freedom." Evidence of its "real political liberty," he said, was the recent election victory of a majority of representatives who were independent of the party which controlled the election machinery and the police force. Dulles said that the South Ko rea republic could not be overthrown from within and therefore was made the target for powerful aggression.
