pie for peace and for insurance
against future wars. The people want
the long controversy ended. They
want this country to be able to again
turn its undivided attention to social,
economic and Industrial development.

limits OF the peoples patience in their
stubborn determination to force q
change in the great document.
Must Take This League.

is no way in which another can be
obtained without compelling recon.

the official statistics have been made
public and the tremendous totals
shocked the presidents audiences.
