try's cause, shall stand every political
party and every member of every po-
litical party entitled TO any consldera-

II believe that to win the war
abroad there must be absolute unity
at home. do not mean that search
ing ana sympathetic suggestions and
constructive criticisms are not desir-
able. They are. I think they are
necessary ] would want to assume
that such criticism Is desired In
Washington. absolutely can't begin
| to understand the mental processes
of the heart beats of men in authority
! in this awful crisis who wish other
wise: and any refusal or neglect to
use every possible, efficient instru-
ment that will help win this terrible
war. when the need of them is so ap-
railing, would be most reprehensible.
There will be an awful accounting de-
manded for such action as sure as Is
certain the intelligence and patriotism
of the American people. I am SURE
that those who offer constructive crit
icism. according to their patriotic
judgment will also be fair enough
and candid enough to commend when
there is ground for commentator.

We would preserve our Institutions, let
US see to the agencies which controi

do not play politics for party pef, Dur
practice patriotic principles for NroS-
