Men are saying lots of things that

stop this indulgence in loose talk and
really get down to the solemn busl-
ness for it is very solemn business
Of irving to comprehend our general
duty with regard to the nation at
large.
And not only with regard to the
nation at large, but with regard to the
part we shall play among the other
nations of the world.
Our memberships with the rest OF
the world are going to be incomparably
more intimate in the years to come
than they have ever been. That is
the reason We are putting men through
the third degree in respect of where
they stand with regard to love Of the
United States and as to whether they
qualify as genuine Americans. And Il
they qualify as genuine Americans
not only in profession but in perform
ance then we are ready to be part
ners with them and go ahead. But il
thew do not they will have to e
through a period of probation and then
we shall show them that the only

allegiance which makes a man proud
ar of things that he has done FOL
others than he is for the things thai
he has done for himself"

There are no more real assets III the

interesting still are the successful Ell
