The President's Annual Address: Must America Succumb to Statism?

The defeat of the Axis Powers in 1945 did not end the world-wide trend toward statism; on the contrary, the philosophy of government that it incorporates is perhaps more virulent now than ever before. With this as the theme of his Annual Address, President Frank E. Holman climaxed his busy, eventful year as the head of the American Bar Association with a warning that the triumph of statism would mean the end of American liberty. The Annual Address is delivered by each retiring President of the Association in accordance with the mandate of its organic law. His address, typical of his administration, is a fearless statement of the issues that are vital to all Americans.
