Statement of Senator Hitchcock l

and dreadful. It will be of enormous cost and the people must pay great increase in the cost of living and in- creased taxation. The awful heritage of death staggers my mind; the awful sacrifice of life sickens my heart.
 "We have nothing material to gain by victory.
 "We want no territory; we want no indemnity; we have no historic grudges to settle; we have no radical antiquities to gratify.
 We are going to war to vindicate our honor and our independence as a great nation.
 "Such a quarrel as We have with Germany was not our choosing, it was forced upon us"
