are the munitions OF which a great deal
was published early In the war when
they were discovered In Wet Side store

Several members OF the American

for the p~ostponement Of the memorial
meeting came from Washington.
The meeting was held on May 10
without demonstration or disturbance.

Tho mere stoppage Of the manufac-
ture OF munitions will mean IN itself a
serious change In the opportunities OF
labor. When the millions OF men in the
trenches return to production our ex-
ports Of manifold products will fall tre-

II is manifest that we cannot meet the
situation which will arise at the close
OF the war without a sensible use OF
the protecting power of Government.
III the American people desire the
principle OF n protective tariff applied
to the protection OF American products,
the up%bullding OF American industry
and the securing Of our proper economi-
cal independence, they must put in

Those who are seeking TO make
political capital out OF our present war
prosperity have too little to say as To
the conditions which prevailed less than
two years ago Then they a put this
tariff policy in operation n the hosts
