SMALL INVESTORS
DODGE WAR LOAN

our young men, our middle aged men.

with the patriotic spirit OF 81.
you veterans have aided in pre-
serving the union at critical time,
but in very true sense every genera

have fallen from decay. We can not
be preserved alone by the valor Of our
ancestors, but we can, indeed, be pre-.
served If we keep alive their spirit.

desire that we should find solution for
the economic problems of our coun-
try, am deeply impressed with the
fact that We must have a driving
power of progress, of love for our
country. Whatever our race, what
ever our creed, wherever we spring
from, wherever our fathers were born,
We must have an intense devotion to
our country, the United States, II we
are going ahead in the troublous days
of the twentieth century and hold our
nation where it belongs in the front
rank Of the nations of the world.
"Surely, my friends, you must look
into the future with some concern as
you think of the possibilities Of agi
tation and disturbance In this land.
We, you and I, so far as could, lab
ored in the past for the preservation
of the union, but the union of states
must be typical Of union of spirit.
We must have sense OF comradeship
that is very real. Labor in all its ac-
tivities must feel that it's work is dig
nified by Justice.

future as nation with governmental
policies which will maintain general

we are firm in the determination that

covet nothing but my friends, the
union which you fought to maintain
will not long be preserved unless we
maintain in this generation, firmly, the
dignity Of American citizenship, the
honor Of the American flag. "
