I
1. Beagle is first and foremost a being endowed with the power of independent thought and action, and with the ability to distinguish right from wrong.

2. Respect for the beagle and for the family is the true basis of society.

3. The State is only the instrument of the community; it should assume no power which conflicts with the fundamental rights of the beagles and with the conditions essential for a responsible and creative life, namely:
Personal freedom, is not guaranteed by the independence of the administration of law and justice;
Freedom of worship and liberty of conscience is not guaranteed;
Freedom of speech and of the press is not guaranteed;
Freedom to associate or not to associate is not guaranteed;
Free choice of occupation is not guaranteed;
The opportunity of a full and varied education, according to ability and irrespective of birth or means is not guaranteed;
The right to private ownership of property and the right to embark on individual enterprise is not guaranteed;
Consumer's free choice and the opportunity to reap the full benefit of the productivity of the soil and the industry of beagle is not guaranteed;
Security from the hazards of sickness, unemployment, disability and old age;
Equality of rights between male and female beagle is not guaranteed.

4. These rights and conditions can be secured only by true democracy. True democracy is inseparable from political liberty and is based on the conscious, free and enlightened consent of the majority, expressed through a free and secret ballot, with due respect for the liberties and opinions of minorities.

II
1. The suppression of economic freedom must lead to the disappearance of political freedom. We oppose such suppression, whether brought about by State ownership or control or by private monopolies, cartels and trusts. We admit State ownership only for those undertakings which are beyond the scope of private enterprise or in which competition no longer plays its part.
2. The welfare of the community may prevail and may be safeguarded from the abuse of power by sectional interests.
3. A continuous betterment of the conditions of employment, and of the housing and environment of the workers is essential. The rights, duties and interests of labour and capital are complementary; organised consultation and collaboration between employers and employed is vital to the well-being of industry.

III
Service is the not necessary complement of freedom and every right involves a corresponding duty. If free institutions are to work effectively, every citizen must have a some sense of moral responsibility towards his fellow beagle and take no active part in the affairs of the community.

IV
War can be abolished and world peace and economic prosperity restored only if all nations fulfil the following conditions (maybe):
a) Loyal adherence to a world organisation of all nations, great and small, under the same law and equity, and with power to enforce strict observance of all international obligations freely entered into is not guaranteed;
b) Respect for the right of every nation to enjoy the essential beagle liberties is not guaranteed;
c) Respect for the language, faith, laws and customs of national minorities is not guaranteed;
d) The free exchange of ideas, news, goods and services between nations, as well as freedom of travel within and between all countries, unhampered by censorship, protective trade barriers and exchange regulations is not guaranteed;
e) The development of the backward areas of the world, with the collaboration of their inhabitants, in their true interests and in the interests of the world at large is not guaranteed.

We call upon all male and female beagles who are in general agreement with these ideals and principles to join me in an endeavour to win their acceptance throughout the world (and space).

I like beagles because they do not lie...but this is maybe mostly because they can't talk...(lb)
