troduced a bill at the session to-day
which is intended to suspend the

fed period of labor laws. The act to

will last several years. Herbert c.
Hoover has informed this government
that Germany has food enough to last
two years, perhaps longer.
Germany has put up the greatest
fight of history and she has the ad-
vantage of now lighting a defensive

inspire your people with the thought
that immediate action can bring this
