He trained at Fort Dix, before ently lies in' some kind of European federation which will yet allow independence-loving peo. pies a large measure of self-government and cultural distinction. Of more pressing concern right now is the upsurge of independence in the Asiatic world. A long smoldering spirit has at last broken the surface.

World War II, smashing the colonial mold in the Orient, provided the final explosive force. It precipi. tated a social and political revolution that is engulfing Asia. The Asiatics today are peoples who want a better life for themselves, and they want to be the ones to decide what sort of life it shall be. This we must understand.

Some of us see Asia as a land which must be "shown" the ways of democracy. But the Asiatics associate westerners with colon-ialism, and we cannot hope to eradicate quickly their bitter memories of past oppression. In keeping with our' tradition of helping other to independence, we must be wholly sympathetic to their self-governing impulses. We must lend every aid we can, but without seeking in any fashion to impose upon them any fashion to impose upon them part of our own pattern of life. They have to judge for themselves what we have that they might wish to copy.

So far we Americans have not been too aware of the depth and strength of Asia's postwar stirrings. This day of independence here is, a good day to resolve that once more the United States will stand with the seekers after independence as we have always done before. All Americans cherish the way their ancestors wrested their freedom from the British. Independence Day symbolizes that feeling of pride. With the menace of Communist Russia abroad in the world, it is, particularly fitting that we rededicate ourselves each year to that spirit of independence.

We cannot be too zealous in guarding the freedom we foug'ht so bravely to win nearly 200 years ago. With our long heralded tradition of freedom and independence, we have served the world as model. More this, we have lent moral and sometimes practical support to other people struggling to gain their own independence. At the peace conference following World War "self-determination" the right of a people to govern themselves was strongly championed by President Woodrow Wilson. The peace treaties marked the birth of a number of new nations.

Some will say we pushed this movement for independence too far, that we assisted in creation of countries not yet equipped politically to govern themselves and incapable of supplying more than a fair fraction of their fundamental economic needs. Austria, a tiny frame for huge Vienna, is cited as example. But actually the problem thus created is merely the same economic and political disunity which haunts the whole of Europe. The small nations are but exaggerated illustrations. The ultimate solution appar being sent overseas.
