Senator McCumber said, in part:
"The hosts of the two great pOliti.
cal parties have gathered their
strength and: are stating their views
on a battle that means more to the
American people, and of the greatest
concern to the people of the state of
North Dakota and of the great agri-
cultural Northwest, than any battle
that has been fought out in the polit-
ical arena for many a long year.
There looms up before us on the com.
mercial horizon Of the future stu
alton that might we'll challenge the
earnest and thoughtful consideration
of, every man interested in the well
fare Of his country; conditions that
are just as sure to rise in the future
as this consuming war of the world
is either sooner or later to burn it.
self to ashes. To met this condition
and to be prepared for it, the Repub.
lican national organization is lOaning
its energies in this campaign. We
cannot meet them: we cannot avert
the danger which they foreshadow,
with armies or navies or physical
power Our preparedness must be,
through the energies of the multi
tudes of great American commercial
policy, but we must always depend
on our own American form and never,
in time of danger, toward part of our
national life, depend on any other
thing, so we must always rely on our
All-American commercial policy to as
sure our future prosperity. No other
nation in the world will ever mould
its, commercial relations to benefit the
people of this country. .

But it has been war balance one.
and it has been principally founded
on the slaughter OF millions of our
fellow beings across the sea. We
have branded the sinews of that war.
We have armed and fed and maintain.
ed the opposing forces. And out OF
their dire necessity we have reaped
a mighty profit. Nor is this all, to
feed that unquenchable volume OF
hell, but to ruin the commercial treas
ures of all the ages past and also the
very manhood of Europe today. These
things have mortgaged the lives and
the energies of their children's chill
dren for centuries yet to come.
Conditions Cannot last.
Now, Mr.. Chairman, these contii-
tions cannot and will not last Were
there no other way to choke them.

not go to that extreme These war
ring nations will not live. What then
shall we find at the close of this great
conflict? We shall find people far
less able to purchase our commodi-

nations the most marvellous industrial
organizations that the world has ever
