10 observe its working on a broad scale,
AS a matter of fact 1t is just one o:
the petty annoyances that are especially
exasperating and its proceeds are reIa-
lively small. In your calculations you
assume that the ISSUANCE of checks
would be the same under a stamp tax as
without II, but experience SHOWS that II
is materially reduced. II may seem ao-
surd that people would resort TO such
petty economies, but when we had the

vduals but business fl ms as such made

cover a number OF lines instead OF one

except a demand for unconditional sur
render. Within a day or two Senator

which has needed the Interpretation OF
his friends as TO Its meaning.
There can be no doubt OF the mind
Of the American people. 1t is uncon-
dltional surrender, a dictated peace and
the occupation OF Berlin. This Is the
Information and the only information
which WEI wish to have conveyed to the
Huns. We shall have confidence in any
man who can put It in language which
will not require Interpretation.
The resolution Of Senator Lodge should
