nh enormous country, just now in a state
OF dissolution or reconstruction-no one

that it should be diSmembercd. Ii APP

the other nations Of the world that 1t
should be aided rather than divided.
This course has been decided upon by the
leading nations Of the world, following
the suggestion and with the assistance OF
the present Republican administration Of
this country. This attitude is certainly
right morally, and, in the long run. must
be right as to material interests. particu-
larry for the people of the United States.
