Redfeld Finds No
Room for "knocker''
And Pacifst Should Realize
He Must Fight for Peace,
Saws Secretary

ST. LOUIS, April 15.-William c.
Redfeld, Secretary of Commerce, who is
here on his way to Seattle, said in an
address to-day that this country had
room for the pacifst, for he must real
ize that he must fight now for peace,
and for the socialist, who should see his
ideals of brotherhood embodied in the
nations cause; but it has no room for
the pessimist or the man who deals
with public affairs from the standpoint
of the "knocker"
Speaking to members of the Chamber
of Commerce. Secretary Redfeld gave
warning against German propaganda
and asserted that tales of the ineffi-
cheney of the new Liberty motor for
airpanes was merely ar example of the
insidiousness Of this propaganda. He
declared this motor was the most pow
erful of its kind ever invented and that
it had stood all tests successfully.
Manufacture of the motor is going
ahead rapidly, he said, as is the manu-
facture Of all airplane parts. The ship
ping problem. though still acute, was
ION the mend,' he declared
Regarding plans for foreign trade
after the war, the Secretary said that
this was not the time to be thinking
about what we will do or say or think
after the war"
"The immediate question Isl" he said,
"Can America haA the patience and
courage to pull through one, two or
three years longer7 Can we stand the
gaff 2"
