"Let America be known throughout the world as the 'land of the open Nixon said in a live, 10-minute July 4th holiday radio broadcast from the Western White House. He spoke from a prepared text.

He said one of the best ways to enhance the quality of peace "is through people-to-people contacts contacts aimed at reducing the fear and the ignorance which have divided mankind down through the ages, and at fostering habits of trust and patterns of cooperation." i he said, was a major aim of his trips earlier this year to China and the Soviet Union. Nixon said he would send formal invitations to foreign governments "extending a welcome to the people of those nations to visit the United States, as laws and circumstances permit during the bicentennial era and especially during the year 1976."

It dealt not at all with governance of the 13 colonies and their people, though it became their inspiration in rebellion and in one ringing sentence it set a philosophical goal for them. But it was pointed mostly outward to the world as a new nation's first statement of foreign policy, an appeal for understanding of the revolutionary cause, a hope that it would bring help in the war which already was engaged.

(How well that policy has stood in international dealings all these 196 years!) The Declaration was not an impulsive essay. Though Thomas Jefferson put the words together in a short time, the sentiments had been growing for months among the leaders of the colonies and even some of his phrases were from other statements.

The Continental Congress started debate on a declaration of independence June 10; and. Jefferson recalled later, most of the argument was about timing and reaction around the world.

But there was no question of whether the break should be made only indecision on when and how. The issue was postponed until July 1.

and Jefferson's committee was named to draw up a proper statement. It is a classic of unpretentious, almost humble, supplication to all men for sympathy and understanding in a bad situation. Where most revolutionaries have waved a defiant firebrand, our patriots calmly observed that "a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes wiich impel them to the separation" from the mother country. It is a recitation of all the grievances against the British crown which fills most of the long page on which the declaration was written. it appeals "to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our then (Continued on Page 12) Demo Delegate Battles Move to Appeals Court Fighting By Foe Is Light (UPI-The government drive to retake Quang Tri City, held for more than two months by invading Com-m i troops, appeared headed for success today when a small South Vietnamese force landed by helicopter in the center of the city and met only light initial resistance.
