Sok Ilski who makes decisions orderly government jus the product of Long trial and error resulting in a system which is understood by those who work with it and is generally accepted. Our system is outlined in the Constitution is implemented by acts of Congress and the decisions of the courts particularly the supreme court. It is an interesting system because it permits tile greatest degree of human Liberty by deliberately sacrificing the Power of tilt government to Rule by Fiat which has usually been the method of rulers instead the Constitution established a system of checks and balances so that absolute Power is lodged nowhere and in no person that such a system should have survived so Long is remarkable because the looseness of authority makes for waste and inefficiency.

Tile fact is that soviet Russia in not absolutely equal to us in this Field is not far behind. Should it be proved As it Well might be that russian submarines Oil the coast of Florida caused american sputnik to fail it can Only be that they already have a device of defense against rockets and missiles and therefore Are ahead of us. Too of the russians get far ahead of us in this Field it will be argued that we must change our system of government As some now want us to change our system of education to meet the enemy. In a word there will be those who will attribute our failure should we fail to a Loose system of government in which individual Liberty is regarded As More valuable than governmental efficiency.
