 obligation of Great Britain and France.
 We all appreciate" said Governor Harding, 'the extreme gravity of the present situation, and, while we can- not look into the future. it seems reasonably certain that this country is going to be drawn into the great struggle. We have, as American citi- zens. certain clearly defined duties. It is a time when all elements of the community shall stand together for America. This is no time to harbor pre5udices We should remember that we have a common cause. My per- sonal opinion Is that it is clearly the duty of every man of influence to exert every honorable means in his power for the purpose of inducing
 congress to do what it can do most quickly and effectively in the present crisis.
 | Congress can very speedily provide the surest means of defense by enact ing law which would enable the
 government to lend it's credit to those who are fighting for the same cause. 1 It is my personal opinion that this government should in that contin- gency extend to the allied powers a ! credit of one billion dollars, taking as security their own obligations. That would be an effective measure of de- fense. It would protect us against a 1 foreign invasion and from a pre-
 mature peace to which we were no
 party. If we secure that measure of protection, we can look the future in i the face. Everything else has been :. discounted. No shock can arise for which the public is not prepared"
