 At the beginning of the the conditions and pros poets of United deporabe the Chi cago Tribune. Conditions dangerous and threat enng.
 Now we stand surely on firm ground and face the flu ure with assurance and confidence The nation which was merely rich will soon be strong. The nation which invited attack, which was wide open to invasion and which tempted invasion will be strong enough to guar antee its security.
 At the beginning of the had adequite de lenses and evidence that the government would provid that the people would demand them Governmental indferences rode public apathy. The peo pe were deaf to Cassandra Congress controlled by parochia politicians who incapable of thinking in of the nation and who were running the country for the benefit of their districts
 We had all the money and none of the guns We were acquiring wealth of protecting it. We were making the German grudge greater every day We were regarded profters in the great suffers trading with courageous peoples ad getting rich without acquir ing either comman fortitude
 The United States was bad way and it's prospect was to get into a worse We mortgaging the present day comforts and wealth promised to be our ruin We should have been jumped by Germany or Japan and found possessing dollars and no strength
 Now preparing to become dominant factor in the world. We raising army which will be sufi- cient for our needs and able to accomplish any task given it. Successful invasion of the United States will be impossible so long adhere the wise principles which are being adopted for this
 We building which will return to its old rat We a merchant marine which will restore the American flag to the seas in full to the things of which we are proud in our traditions and history

 Industries will be ambitious and busy. There will be work for all workmen. We have changed from condi- ton which threatening in spite of of if not because of it's inflated wealth to a condition which is promising The change has come by the decision of the gov ernment and the people
 They had it in their power correct themselves and make the United States a confident nation. The fear they be aroused to do this has been dis sipated They have done it. The United has noth- ing now to fear It will have nothing to fear long as it maintains the position it has taken.
 If it will keep army it is safe. It then keep it's money its ships trade it may keep its factories going and goods travelling Its people will be respect ed and they will We shall not be subjected to insult and damage on southern frontier We shall be we'll thought of beyond northern frontier. We shall not find danger abroad
 We still need the establishment of continuing mill tary policy but even now are being organized for strength and security and an American may feel the pride he ought to feel in being American.
