Foolish Action.

During the last two years and
half we have been foolish enough not
to prepare for war: now that we are
at war, let US avoid further folly OF
failure to provide for the great tasks
OF peace. We need thorough going
military preparedness. 1t must be
based on thorough going economic
preparedness Both alike must be
based on spiritual preparedness. the
making ready OF national soul.

Not Awake to it.

"As yet our people have not walked
up TO the vital significance of this war.
This Is because at the moment we are
safe behind the British fleet. We can
not afford to owe an isnoble safety to
the British fleet or to risk our ma
tional future upon the chance OF some
other nation showing more foresight
and efficiency than We are willing to
show. We sin against our children II
we fail TO prepare our whole national
strength for the protection of the re-
public"
