THE SrN's efforts TO make clear to

coming that party's cooperation in

'Unauestion!ng. loyal and patriotic

II is important for the nations
good that this difference should ba

1t is all the more important because
the original purpose to urge Mr.. VIII

he has kept the country out of war
has probably been Stultiiied 10y unex-
