"It is essentially a time for the
owners of American securities to
keep their heads Bear in mind the
actual properties represented by
American securities will not suffer
greatly by European war. During
the past few days the American peo-
pie have been buying back American
securities at low prices. Presumably
they will pay for those securities
with their wheat and other products
at high prices. II is idle to say that
America will not be hurt by The gen.
cral European war. The wholesale
waste Of capital involved in such a
catastrophe would result i'm a dis
tribution Of losses the world over but
the loss here would be inhnitesimal
compared with the losses to the coun-
tries Immediately involved. There Is
no doubt that the whole American
people will cooperate to restore nor
NAL conditions throughout the coun-
try at the earliest possible moment"

the most objections are coming from
such senators as O'Gorman and Bor-

There is apt to be considerable
debate on this amendment while there
are a number of other proposed
changes, including the Sutherland
