JOnn WanaWaKer uunltteu yesteruay
that he was behind some Of the large

What I have lone Is very little. but
II has been lone gladly. Every patriotic
American. realizing the great need for
resourceful and immediate action In view
Of the crisis faced by the nation, ought
to be grateful for the opportunity TO
help hold up the hands Of Chairman
Wilcox. George w. Perkins and the
scores of other able men who are UNI
selfshly giving all their time. day n
night. and much Of their money. to re-
habilitate the United States In the eyes
Of the world. and restore American self
respect md security by the election Of
Mr.. Hughes.
Please understand that by security
I do not mean military or naval Sc
curity. but what is many times more
important, the security of the funda-
mental strength OF the nation.
Must Have Spiritual strength.
W must have spiritual, Industrial.
agricultural. mercantile and financial
strength. from which alone can come
and which can support military and
naval strength when this proves neces-
sary.

y matter what politicians may tell
you. II is n plain. hard. cold fact that
American workmen will not work-and
no good American wants them to do So

lands. and II low paid foreigners make
as good articles and send them here to
sell at half or two-thirds the cost of
American made articles, the foreign
articles will sell and the American fac
tory will reduce it's help or shut down
entirely. Men out of work by the hun.
