2 FRATERNITY The new law was a bi-partisan effort which has been under study in Congress for the past ten years. It passed the Senate last October, and the House on June 20th. President Johnson said that he signed the bill “with a deep sense of pride that the United States is an open society in which the people’s right to know is cherished and guarded.” — (A.C.P.R.) ~k * ★ (Editor's Note: We wonder if, by the passing and signing of the bill giving the people "the right to know", America can keep away those agents of the Communist world, who in these later years have infiltrated our country in dangerously great numbers? And would we be able to protect our Pentagon and State Department from those domestic sympathizers, who for "Judas' money" are willing to sell out this great country of ours . . . even their own salvation? — J. K.) MY NATIVE LAND My native land, so fair to see, Shall I then gaze no more on thee? Where’er I stand, where’er I stray, My yearning eyes still look thy way. From migrant birds I make demand: “How fares it with my fatherland?” I ask it from the clouds on high, I ask it from the winds that sigh. But these no words of comfort bring To cheer my homesick sorrowing; My heart is weary and alone, Like wither’d grass upon a stone. 0 little land where I was born, 1 drift afar, forgot, forlorn — Like leaves the winds of autumn sweep In wailing eddies to the deep.
