Respecting Americas course with

Negligent of Defence
The senator declared America had
been negligent concerning its own de-
fence and had been dwelling in fancied
rather than real security and should
heed the warning in bleeding Europe"
Republicans. he said. believed in ade-
Quate national defence The Democratic
party. he insisted. interrupted when the
Republicans were building 10 high rank
among the naval powers.
1 snail not say that Il is ours TO have
the greatest navy i'm the world said
the senator. but noting the elimination
of distance and the passing OF our one
time isolation. we ought TO have a navy

say any time and anywH ere-these are
spected-"

There are manifest differences about

the Missouri TO tell the American peo-
pie the need Of preparedness. II might
have been more seemly 10 tell the story /
to congress, for that body was in ses-
sion and empowered 10 act. and seem
ingly ever ready TO testify obedience I
congress undertook 10 provide (
an army for defence and the majority l
wobbled between pacification and pre-
paredness until the Republican minority !
in the senate put something real in the I
pending measure We Republicans made /
a rational response 10 the call Of the /
land, but Democratic insufficciency and /
inefficiency are recorded in the con-
ference amended act, and a federal nj g
trate plant to supply powder TO the pa
triots and pap 10 the paternalists and 4
federal fertilizer to the farmers in COM (

America, the senator said. proclaimed |
justice and loved peace and we are not I
too proud to fight for them
Savings Banks vs.. Soup HOuses.D J
Turning TO economics the senator I
pleaded for a return TO the protective
tariff policy He chose, he said. THE
economic policy which sends the Ameri- (
can workingmen to the savings banks
rather than the soup houses"
NO one the senator said. disputes I
a temporary prosperity in our land to- I
day. But 1t is sectional in its factory I
aspect, abnormal in its fevered rush, /
fictitious in its essentials, and pervert-
ing IN its tendency Worse, il is the /
gold sluiced from the river OF blood. !
poured out by the horrifying sacrifice
of millions Of our fellowmen- God for 4
bid that We should boast OF prosperity I
wrought in such waste OF human life |
We had rather rejoice in the prosperity ]
Of peace"

briefly the senator said il had pro /
claimed the sacredness of its pledges }
and then profaned them that il had (
"espoused the freedom Of the seas and
wrought only the freedom OF the Pana-

because of its government ownership

forces to extend independence TO the
Philippines. TO set adrift an island em-
oire, in violation Of our obligations 10
