HUDDLESTON MADE NOTABLE SPEECH ON
 NOTABLE DAY AND
 NOW SEEKS S50,000
Continued from Page Five)

United States had determined after long and painful consideration, that a part of the money for the prosecution of the warrior the rapid ending of the war so that our boys might be returned in safety-should be obtained through loans advanced in love by the people to their government. The spokesman of the Birmingham district, as if giving ex- presson to the opinion of the people of the Birmingham district, declared in loud voice that money should be raised by further taxing the people. He differed with the President and his advisers To that extent he not only failed to sup port the President and his advbisers. but he attempted to thwart them He de- clared in effect that as a result of bond issues, those of yesterday and those of tomorrow, the value of American money would depreciate To that extent he warned against bond issues-that which the President in that very moment was attempting to float-and to that extent, warned the people against subscribing.
 His next move was typical He en- gagged in a dissertation regarding the earnings of corporations. He rattled off in amazing manner the amount of money which from this or that source the United States Steel had acquired. At his fingers ends he had the amount the corporation had paid in taxes, and the amount the corporation would have paid had the laws of the United States been as rigorous IS those of England. He stated that he criticized this cor poration because it was tat ,home' and because, as he contended it had never fairly played with labor.
 THE INDIRECT ASSAULT
 There was the unkiDdest cut. He had in his clever manner of indirect assault, destroyed the bond issue. He next attempted to picture this corpora .tion as autocratic in its power and its workmen as down. pressed beat en slaves. Had his seed fallen on fer tile soil. he might have in time of war, when the country needed it's every man and woman, when 1t required every citizen to pull together as one content ed happy, efficient family-team, di. vided the one against the other, and
