mo invading army will set out for
America ultil it is safe from attack BY

travelling by water have to carry their
own artillery, ammunition and horses.
Japan would not send 400 large troop
ships out into the Pacific unless its
fleet had fought and defeated our
fleet. Nor would Germany or any
other country in Europe attempt an
invasion OF the United States so long
as our fleet, decks cleared, was wait

DO you believe that a trade wal

Such war will come--there ia no
doubt of it. Loaded with debt, bun
dened with taxation, Europe will turn
with energy and ferocity to the works
of peace. The factories In Europe, ex
