mo class of our people are more
vitality concerned in the successful
prosecution of the war with Germany
than the farmers because the value Of
their product depends upon the main
tenance of Americas right to the free
dom of the seas, this right being one
of the chief things challenged by the
German Kaiser in this war If our
commerce can be destroyed at the will
of any foreign power at any time that
il suits the purpose of that power, as
submission by the United States to the
German Kaiser's edict would bring
about, the farmers would be unable
TO sell their surplus crops in the open
markets of the world and the value
OF our principal farm products would
decline below cost of production
America can never surrender this vital
right. We must vindicate it, We can
swiftly win this war, maintain our
prosperity and secure the safety Of
our democracy here and at the same
time make the world safe for democ-
racy if we go forward with the reso-
luton and courage and support our
gallant armies now already in the
field To do this the farmers of the
United States as we'll as other classes
of our people must lend their money
