force sufficient 10 deal with this mum.

this number Of invaders n we could
only induce them 10 accept our invi-

and partako Of our hospitality until
they we're rested and gave as notice

We would probably conquer without
firing a shot. Thousands might de-

work and save until they could buy a
farm. We might turn invaders into
