HOW THE WAR CAME
TO AMERICA

Let it be borne in mind tina: the
serial on "How War Came to Amer
ica," is not an apology; it is not a
string of excuses; it is a statement
Of historical facts which every man
and woman should know.
Our government, different from
all others, comes from the people
and they are entitled to know what
their representatives are doing 1t
Washington, and to know why they
are doing it. This is q serial frank
and sincere account given by the
President through the Committee on
Public Information. In other words,
as the people were consulted before
the President proceeded, the Presi-
dent is now talking to the people as
his duty and conscience prompts.
When we know that the whole
framework of civilization depends
upon the human individual as a free
and responsible being, we fully real
