farewell speech in the house, de-

Germany" He declared that Amer
leans of German descent fare with all
true Americans for America, first, last

American shipments of arms to the
allies,
I'm our present demands against
England" he said, our only alterna-

war; A threat of an embargo on
arms, however, would quickly bring
the mistress of the seas to terms
without war"
Portraying the "steadfast devotion
of citizens of German blood to Amer
lean ideals and the flag" Bartholdt
declared:
IF unfortunately the United States
is ever again embroiled in war, which,
heaven forbid, the Germans OF this
country would again as Loyalty rally
around the stars and stripes. The
Germans Of this country are for Amer
lea against England, America against
Germany, America against the world.
They would never waver for one sec

the assembly favorably On the state
department budget items as recon-
