内容記述・解説/Description：Peter, You can never be president . . . / But, that’s about the only door that’s barred to you—an immigrant boy—in America. / You can become a great doctor. / Or a painter or musician. / You can be the head of a business. / You can be a farmer, a teacher, a scientist, a mechanic, a clergyman or a statesman. / It requires ability, the desire to get ahead, the will to work, and faith in yourself, in America and in God. / The opportunity is here. / The fact that you are poor—and were born in a foreign country needn’t hold you back. / In this country nearly everyone at the top started at the bottom. / Who you are or where you came from doesn’t matter. / Whether you work for somebody else—or some day employ other people in a business of your own —you’re free in America. / And that is important. / It’s that very freedom for individuals, industry and agriculture that provides incentive, creates competition, permits business to grow, makes jobs, increases production, lowers costs and raises wages. / That’s the American way. / In this country we have always encouraged inventive skill and ingenuity. / Here, most of us take pride in honest work and achievement. / The highest standard of living in the world is the result. / And that’s something to think about. / But in spite of all that, you’ll find people here who talk about “rebuilding America.” They say it’s old fashioned, that it has outgrown its Constitution and its Bill of Rights. / They would like to change all the things that have made America great—and pattern it after some other country. / You’ll hear a lot about voting for so-and-so because he’ll “take care of you and your family from now on.” / But you’ll find that most self-respecting Americans prefer to take care of themselves—and work out their own futures. / Americans don’t like to have someone else do their thinking for them—or tell them how to live their lives. / Americans don’t like to be pushed around. / Our forefathers founded this country to get away from that sort of thing. / That’s why millions of people have settled here—and prospered. / That’s why you and your parents came over here. / That’s why millions of other people, weary of being bossed by dictators, harassed by bureaucrats, told what to do, where to work, what wages they can have—would give anything to be in America. / Study this country carefully, Peter. Find out what really makes it tick. / Study its political, social and industrial history, its achievements in agriculture. / Discover for yourself how the power and the glory of America lie in her birthright of freedom and opportunity. / Remember that we are fighting this war to defend that birthright. / No, you can never be president, Peter—but your children can! And you can win a solid place for yourself and build a shining future here, if you will learn to stand on your own feet and if you will do your share to keep America American. / We’re free today only because the early Americans wanted freedom enough to fight for it. We’ll stay free only if we have the same determination to live our own lives. Millions who also want to keep America American will see this message in the May 20 Saturday Evening Post and other leading publications.
