urday after week in Chicago with

as one in their determination to up-
hold his hands and to cooperate

are concerned. As the facts stand,
they have to come across 1t is the
little fellow that needs to be pro-
dded into actiOn-that needs to be
shown that while his part may be
small, he is under just as great
obligations to do that part, as the
