A Defense Epiaran1.

Waterloo Courier: The author Of
the best epigram on the question OF
preparedness is, strange to say, not
Theodore Roosevelt, justly famed as
Americas greatest phrasemaker, but
Senator James D. Phelan of Cali
fornia.
Senator Phelan summarizes the
whole matter in this sentence:
IF war is hell then preparedness
Is religion
The idea meant to be conveyed. OF

lack OF cargo space, takes into con-

1t would authorize the Withholding

withstanding that the acceptance OF
such a cargo would make the vessel
liable to capture and confiscation by a
