Mr.. BARNES of Houlton: Mr..

man from Portland (Nfr. Brewster)
will be induced to allow unanimous
rising vote. Nothing here today should
be ssid against this measure, but you
are getting into dangerous water as
you paddle along with these thought
less remarks thrown out. What the I'M
married man, and the otherwise child
less, may think is the true test of pa
triotism is a hard test sometimes to
put up to some other people, and it
would be vastly better that this House
should now take O. rising vote and that
too hard a test should not be imposed
now. and perhaps one or two men be
forced to vote no on this Measure.
sincerely hope that the young gentle
man from Portland (Mr. Brewster) will
modify his motion so that we may
vote on this by a rising vote or a viva

Germany is actively peace plotting
