Here Is the letter:
As president OF the National AssocIa-

prompt and firm attitude with respect
TO the various orders by the belligerent

Of this country.
All manufacturers are directly or
indirectly suffering from the effects OF
this lamentable war; and many of them
would sustain still moro business losses
should they be prevented from secur-
ing necessary supplies from abroad
through the enforcement of the severe
recently announced by belligerent gov
crnments.
Il therefore wish to assure you of
the sympathy and steady support of
this association in your energetic ef-
forts to protect the rights OF this coun-
