America First [postcard]
Postcard advertising the sale of posters, cards, and postcards printed with this anti-war message. Part of a campaign by the National Council for Prevention of War.<br /><br />Text:
<p>America First<br />Not merely in matters material, but in things of the spirit.<br />Not merely in science, inventions, motors, and skyscrapers, but also in ideals, principles, character.<br />Not merely in the calm assertion of rights, but in the glad assumption of duties.<br />Not flaunting her strength as a giant, but bending in helpfulness over a sick and wounded world like a Good Samaritan.<br />Not in splendid isolation, but in courageous cooperation.<br />Not in pride, arrogance, and disdain of other races and peoples, but in sympathy, love, and understanding.<br />Not in treading again the old, worn, bloody pathway which ends inevitably in chaos and disaster, but in blazing a new trail, along which, please God, other nations will follow, into the new Jerusalem where wars shall be no more. <br />Some day some nation must take that path -- unless we are to lapse once again into utter barbarism -- and that honor I covet for my beloved America.<br />And so, in that spirit and with these hopes, I say with all my heart and soul, "AMERICA FIRST."<br /><br />From a Sermon by Bishop G. Ashton Oldham, in Washington, D.C., September 7, 1924.<br /><br /></p>
