FoRcIvING OUR DEBTORS.

plains, lin view Of all they bore and
suffered in the years before we en-
tered this war to hold the line against
the tsn and keep autocracy from
crushing democracy
There is no question Of the huge
moral debt we owe the nations which,
while fighting for selfpreseryation.
have fought at the same time for free
civilization everywhere, and have
stood between Germany and the Unit
ed States. They were literally fight
ing our battle for years before we
entered the war. Needless TO say
however much HE war Is costing now
1t would have cost US vastly more OF
we had been Obliged to face German
aggression alone, now or hereafter
And we should certainly have had t
reckon with Germany some time, ii
any event.
